Muadh G
"An incredibly well run gym; easily the best gym I have ever trained at. The classes are always on time, the gym is always clean, and at any given class there are multiple black belts ready to jump in to answer questions. The culture cultivated by the gym is very friendly, welcoming, and fun. The owner, Michael, is always smiling! He's such a cheery and happy guy. We've diagnosed him with RSF: Resting Smiling Face."
Kendall Hyatt
"I’d give this place 10 stars if I could! I was super intimidated to try BJJ for the first time, but the moment I walked in, all of that melted away. The instructors are incredible—knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely kind. And the people training here? Just as amazing. There’s such a welcoming, respectful vibe in the space that makes you feel safe and seen, no matter your experience level. So grateful to have found this place. 💛"

"This is objectively the best place to train Jiu Jitsu in Lexington. The owner is great, the instructors are extremely knowledgeable, there is a diverse range of talent, and there is a great sense of community. This is also the cleanest and most well kept gym I’ve ever been to."
Chase Gray
"I dropped in at Lexington BJJ & Fitness on a Monday and had a blast. Great people, great facilities, and a great program structure allow for optimized learning. I got some time with Michael and Derek, two very knowledgeable black belts who were more than happy to share their knowledge. If you are visiting Lexington or have moved to the area, you have to stop in at Lexington BJJ & Fitness."
