UNIVERSAL FITNESS AND MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

"I've never felt more motivated to improve as an athlete. The coaches at this gym are not only skilled but also incredibly supportive. They've helped me overcome challenges and achieve goals I never thought were possible. A truly exceptional experience!"

"I just started with my son but he absolutely loves it and looks forward to it every week. He is learning a lot values beyond just basic Jiu Jitsu but the most important thing to me, having done many kinds of martial arts in my life, is for him to have that same passion and they have started him down this path with excitement."

"This review was hard for us as a family just because we did make friends here but I have to share our experience here. I signed my husband up a year ago because I wanted him to have a place to destress from work and let me say he absolutely loved it here. He made great friendships here. We then added our daughters to the kids classes and they liked it. The classes were fun for the kids and my oldest absolutely loved the teen class. She even competed and Professor Julia which is one of the coaches who helped get my daughter ready for her first competition. Everything was great until one afternoon right outside the gym, one of the boys which was Professor Julia’s son was pushing my daughter to say the “N” word in-front of some other kids in the class. My daughter felt uncomfortable and insulted. My daughter also mentioned that he brought up some unnecessary banter regarding other races as well during this conversation. This was concerning to hear as any martial arts school/gym promotes discipline and respect. Now I understand that this is no fault of the gym itself but the reason I decided to make this review is the way Professor Julia handled it. My husband and I decided to come and talk to her and her husband about the comments that were said by her son. Julia decided to victimize the victim by asking my daughter angrily if she had told her son that she was insulted when she should’ve drawn that attention to her own son. She stormed out of the office after shouting at us and then her husband came in and spoke to us and was respectful about the situation and apologized for his son’s comments. We ended up cancelling our membership during this interaction and then Julia (the coach) called me twice shortly afterwards and decided to scream and cuss me out over the phone. This is very unprofessional. We were paying customers and we never once had any problems at this place. This is why I decided to make this review because this is unacceptable. Again, any martial art school/gym should be about respect, friendship, and learning how to protect yourself. The owner of the gym never called my husband to apologize for his staff member’s behavior or the situation. We are not the only multicultural family that has felt this way about this gym and about Julia. This again was a hard review just because we did make some friends here but the way this situation was handled was very unprofessional."

"Awesome place. Instructors make it easy, fun and one heck of a workout. I highly recommended checking it out. Update 2024. I still continue to train here and love the universal training environment. We are definitely a family. I love this place. If you're on the fence about BJJ, this is definitely the place to try it is safe, fun and family friendly."
