What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Robin Krantz
"My daughter has gone for a couple months now, she loves it! She has grown stronger and more confident. I love that the classes are small and there is one-on-one instruction if needed."
Jack Hartman
"I have only been training at Gator Pit for about a month and I absolutely love this place. The instructors and students are super friendly, knowledgeable, and very willing to teach. It is a very professional but relaxed environment. It is an amazing workout while learning a new skill. My cardio and strength has already increased tremendously. I can not say enough good things about this place!!"
Ben Strecker
"I came to this school when I moved here from Florida. I had been training at another gym down there for about a year. It was an amazing gym and I didn’t think I’d find anything comparable. I’m so glad I was wrong! Here at Gator Pit, they quickly accepted me as their own and welcomed me to the gym. Brian and the rest of the coaches go above and beyond to make sure everyone is successful and having a fun time while doing it. If you’re even thinking about trying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I cannot recommend Gator Pit enough."
Stuart Talbot
"I've been training at Gator Pit for about two months now. I walked in fat and in terrible shape. Real fat and real terrible. The people there, students and staff, have been really cool and understanding. White belts don't get beat up there. They're allowed an opportunity to learn from both the instructors and more advanced students. It's a great place to learn BJJ."
