What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Brook Murray Chisholm

"My husband and I, along with our three children (twin girls, age 9, and our 10-year-old son), have been training at Synthesis for about a year. We love that they offer kids', beginner, and advanced classes in both gi and no-gi. The kids' classes run at the same time as the beginner adult class, allowing our whole family to train together and head home at the same time. A new addition to the gym is a designated space where kids can relax and hang out, giving adults the flexibility to join multiple classes while knowing their children are safe and happy. The coaches and members of Synthesis have become some of our closest friends. The welcoming, community vibe you feel the moment you walk into the building is unlike anything we've experienced elsewhere. I highly recommend taking advantage of a free trial week at Synthesis. They have loaner gis and love welcoming new members! -Brook Chisholm."

Emmanuel DeJesus

"Was in town for a week and decided to check out Synthesis gym to get some training in. Professor Lamb was very welcoming as well as the entire Synthesis gym. I came in for a No-Gi class and the professor’s teaching style was awesome and my training partners were very helpful. I definitely learned a few new things and I hope to come back when I’m next in town."

Josh Peterson

"I spent a week in town for the holidays and got a weekly pass to train at Synthesis. It was a great experience in every way. The facilities are great, the people were kind and welcoming, and the instruction was top notch. From now on, when I’m in the area, I’ll always stop by. Edit: I forgot to say that the classes are taught in a very detailed, systemic, and logically progressing manner. It’d be great to learn here long term."

Greyson Painter

"I am in the Rochester, NY area for work. I was looking for somewhere to train on an evening that I was free. I found Synthesis on google, and I saw the good reviews. After talking to the staff, I set up a drop in appointment and I was not disappointed. Great atmosphere, very welcoming. The staff was helpful and kind. I saw all walks of life, the gym seems accommodating while also being serious about training. The gym was a good size, clean, and the people were nice. My training partner in the Gi class was awesome, made me feel welcome. The instructor showed some cool stuff I hadn’t seen and was funny. I stayed to roll a couple of rounds and got smashed. Just what I was looking for, thank you Synthesis. 🤙🏽🤙🏽"
