Tony Sangialosi
"Fantastic facility. Clean, affordable and great instruction. I love how there are so many classes to accommodate everyone’s schedules. So many gyms only have one class time which rarely works for others. Great job Team Leverage making your gym so welcoming and accommodating to everyone."
Stephen Bott
"I just started as a student. Coach Bundy and his staff are incredible and a very structured learning environment. I would recommend them to anyone interested. It’s great for people of all ages and skill levels"
Heather Neuman
"As a mother of two young girls, we have always been encourage and welcomed here. My husband has attended for years and now our 6 year old daughter, with the 4 year old on the waiting list. They have live videos going while they are in the building and welcome spectators. I have only heard great things about the support and encouragement from other and the coaches. It's been a constant in out lives and I highly recommend Leverage to those of all genders and ages!"

"Professor Rob is like no other! He knows every student, every student’s journey, and he knows how to run a Jiu Jitsu academy at its finest. His professors and coaches under him are beyond the scope of incredible at their crafts. They each hold different backgrounds in martial arts, and they share knowledge and teachings that are unmatched. Professor Ryan is the epitome of a fierce competitor, instructor, and warrior on the mat. He has developed incredible programs for the kids bjj, striking, and adult bjj and striking. He is training true mma fighters in the making. If you have any hesitation starting BJJ, hesitate no more. It doesn’t matter, young or old, heavier, or thinner, you can start your journey today. There is so much more to this academy than belts and techniques. There is comradely, friendship, encouragement, life lessons, discipline, and more!"
