April Pettigrew
"Love this gym! Whole vibe is wonderful, great coaches, great families, and great results. We came in not knowing what to expect and have watched our children grow confident and strong. So happy to be apart of this community! (And love Ms Maya!) 10/10 would recommend!"
Jill Olsen
"This place feels like a home away from home! The way each coach and Maya treat our children is so special. I noticed my 3 year old who turned 4 today come to life with communicating more with adults and having more confidence since taking classes here. Every coach is so welcoming, encouraging and kind that my two girls 6 and 4 feel such a sense of belonging. They take each child's needs seriously while also having an atmosphere of fun! I feel so lucky to have found these people and this community! 💕"

"My family and I are grateful to find Power of Leverage. Having Ms. Maya, Coaches Gus & Remie and Professor Kelly in our 6 year old's weekly routine turned out to be a huge blessing. I tried out 8 gyms previously and landed here in a free class here when my son was 5 as a complete beginner. He's 6.5 and now enjoying classes, practicing his moves on me (haha) and competitions. All the coaches at the school get to know your child and they invest their energy into each child, both during classes in competitions. When first I read the reviews, I thought they were spam and now I know the raving reviews are true. Luckily, my son loves the fun and the challenge of Jiu Jitsu. The work outs are rigorous and the coaches all do a great job at breaking down all the moves . The gym environment is very family oriented and friendly, something I didn't really feel from the other gyms. I wanted my goofy, fun-loving kiddo to learn coordination and know how to handle himself confidently. POL gives him a fun way to engage multiple times a week in a sport. As a side note, he actually has been confronted at the playground and knew how to confidently stand up for himself and his friends. I absolutely recommend this gym, the owners and coaches really do care about the kids."
Lisa Harvey
"We love The Power of Leverage Jiu Jitsu! Both of my kids (ages 4 and 7) have been attending for the past 3 months, and it truly feels like family here. The coaches are kind, patient, and super attentive—especially with the younger group (4–6 years old), where they focus on building confidence and coordination in a fun, encouraging way. They give the kids time to steam off in a fun and playful way. For the older group (7–9 years old), the classes are offered five times a week, and having extra coaches on the mat every session means each child gets plenty of personal attention and support. My kids look forward to every class and have grown so much—physically and emotionally. Highly recommend!"
