Stout PGH - Monroeville/East

"I first started training at Stout back in 2014 with some prior experience in BJJ. I must say it’s one of my favorite places to be most days! I walked in for the training and prestige of the day and stayed for the friends, coaching, and curriculum. I consider Stout my extended family. Stout is awesome for your families as well. I have 3 children two of whom have trained at Stout for 4-5 years each, my third child isn’t old enough quite yet but she will definitely join the team."

"This gym is very clean and professional. There are plenty of families on the mats training and has a great community and safe training environment. The instructor Vince is an awesome coach that showed me many great details, helping me identify holes in my game. This is a top notch school. I will be visiting again!"

"I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Stout PGH - Monroeville/East since 2020. This gym has everything you could want in a BJJ gym. Stout PGH - Monroeville/East has a welcoming atmosphere, a great group of people, knowledgeable instructors, and an engaging curriculum. The variety of classes, from fundamentals to advanced, ensures that everyone is appropriately challenged on the mats, regardless of their experience. If you want a fun, challenging, and rewarding Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience, then Stout PGH - Monroeville/East is the place to go. I would not want to train anywhere else."

"I have been training with Stout (Muay Thai/Striking) for roughly 4 months now and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have lightly trained at other facilities before and have had various different experiences. I had VERY little experience so I would classify myself as a beginner. I had the same apprehensions everyone has starting something new. "Am I going to get beat up? Am I going to fit in? What if I embarrass myself?" I have never had an experience as welcoming as I did with Stout. My class has all skill levels and ages. We got young girls and guys with fight experience to older adults with no experience that maybe just want to have a workout or get some self defense experience in a safe environment. No matter the skill level, there are no egos and you are not just a free punching bag or test dummy. The coaches progress you when they think you are ready. All coaches/trainers (Vince, Brody, Lucas, Rachel) have plenty of knowledge and fight experience and are passionate about seeing every participant get better. Overall, if you are looking for a gym where you can feel comfortable at any experience level you would be entering at, I wouldn't hesitate to join or at least try. My only regret is not starting sooner."
