This facility has brand new equipment and a great location (close to Busch Gardens) to boot. Another great factor is the safety. They are right around the corner from a police precinct. This helps keep some of the creeps away. The staff - exceptionally friendly and very knowledgeable. The approach they give to customers is just top notch. If you're on the fence with crossfit or are looking into achieving that next level of fitness, come here - you won't be disappointed.

Their team placed second…read moreoverall in the women's RX division, except the gym tallied the scores off of the first workout only, resulting in a completely wrong podium. They fully announced all the teams and gave awards to a wrong 2nd place team, and when this issue was brought to the owners attention it was totally dismissed. Instead of owning up to the mistake, announcing the real leaderboard and handing out the trophies to the correct team they did nothing and gave my friend a 2nd place wooden trophy from an old competition from 2019. The owner is extremely unprofessional and this entire situation was handled terribly. Even more insult to injury she proceeded to post every division on instagram and totally left out the female RXS division because she won't admit to fault, so none of those women who competed and podiumed got recognition. My friend commented on one of the events posts asking about the women's RX division and the owner hid the comment. My friend and her teammate paid over $200 for this competition, it's unacceptable.

We've been trying to get out of the contract for over a year. We got hit with a random deployment and they have made it absolutely impossible for us to end the contract. After many conversations and being redirected many times, I am still paying even though we haven't been in over a year!!! It's a lot of money to be throwing away for no reason. The classes are overcrowded and it's way too expensive for what's being offered. You can get much more in a different location. Their trainers get paid for getting people to come in so my friends are constantly getting a text to bribe them with a free month, etc.

Truly my favorite gym I've ever been to! I never had an interest in martial arts and initially…read morestarted in 2023 as a way to make friends. However, I quickly learned to love the sport and even watching it. I joined through headstart with Coach John and I highly recommend it. Not only is he an amazing coach, the program also gives you insight into the sport, as well as the specific system used within the gym. Bag class is such a fun way of working out and conditioning days are where you can truly fine tune your fitness; I've genuinely never been in better shape than I am now. Headcoach Adam is very knowledgeable not only in Muay Thai, but in BJJ and is also someone you can talk to outside of the gym if you ever need anything. The community is extremely welcoming and helpful through your fitness journey; it feels like a second home. I couldn't recommend this gym more than I do!

Absolutely recommend this place for any age and any ability; it's home for me now.

They have free…read moreweight sections, machines, a little "lounge" area with sofas, a basketball court, a warrior course, a big turf area, a sauna, yoga/dance room, child/parent workout room, racquetball courts, combatives room, spin cycle room. The staff is also usually super friendly especially in the mornings! It does tend to get quite busy as everyone gets off of work so as long as you avoid that time you should get a chill workout in. They have a few classes that they offer here like CrossFit. I will say the bathrooms aren't always the cleanest so I don't know if I would recommend showering here. They have bathrooms when you walk in and then they have locker rooms by the basketball court and more as you walk into the gym. They also have separate locker rooms for senior officers. They have certain hours where everyone is allowed in but after that they do 24 hour passes. Just go and talk to the staff about it and bring your CAC and they will give you a 24 hour swipe card to get into the gym after hours! EDIT: At the moment the 24 hour gym door is broken which is really unfortunate so they aren't doing that anymore, you have to go during hours and Saturdays+Sundays are closed now too. One downside is that they don't have a pool.

There's plenty of free weights, machines and cardio equipment to keep even the most hardened gym rat busy The locker rooms are a bit cramped, so I wasn't much impressed with that aspect, but I guess the trade off of having a gym close to my office is worth the lack of locker room space. (2 bathroom stalls, and a couple shower stalls) there are DV locker rooms available for O-6 and up. So there's that. You also have the option of racquetball and basketball if that's your poison. (I can play a mean game of HORSE if anyone is interested...) This place is a bit of a maze so it may take a few trips to figure it all out. No pool here anymore so if you want to swim you'll have to go to the main gym. Also, no snack bar so the main gym is where it's at for delicious smoothies after a workout.

I came here after trying another gym in the area. I already knew this was a smaller gym and…read morerealized the other one was a little too big for my liking. I signed up for this online free programming full of bodyweight workout I could do at home just to see what they offer. I never got to the workouts but I did look over them and liked them. About a week and a half later, I received an email from Dianne(the gym's owner). She wasn't pushy about me coming in and seemed genuinely interested in me as a person. I met her on a Saturday while running errands. Her and I talked about my goals, what I'm hoping to get out of her gym, what i'm looking for, and what the gym offers. All of it was amazing and I had such a good feeling from the gym. Upon entering the gym with her, the nutrition coach complimented me on my Lululemon shorts. This was a big bonus because we talked about why the clothes are worth the price and how it impacts a workout-when women feel good, they do good. In addition, I noticed someone had brought their dog and Dianne made sure to tell me dogs are welcome as long as they don't distract from the workout. As a woman who loves her dog, this was an awesome surprise! She also mentioned they have open gym and the "intro" class isn't some super long drawn-out course. I loved all of it. I tried out a workout the next day and LOVED IT. The coaches were helpful with ensuring everyone in the class had correct form and knew how to do each movement properly. They also made sure everyone in the class knew proper progressions and regressions for each movement. Me and Buddy(my dog) can't wait to join! He loved it as well.

During this time, I have traveled around to various gyms, learning from many blackbelts and training with many different people. With that, I can say that Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu is one of my favorite locations to train at. I trained here for about 12 hours during my 2 weeks visit to the Newport News area, and I have much to say about this awesome gym.  If you're searching for a jiu-jitsu gym that combines top-notch instruction, a welcoming community, and a commitment to personal growth, Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu is the gym for you. The instructors here are nothing short of exceptional. Their expertise is evident, but what truly sets them apart is their ability to teach complex techniques in a clear, accessible way. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you'll find their guidance both insightful and encouraging. They're always willing to take the time to address individual questions and provide personalized feedback. The atmosphere at Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu is incredibly supportive. It's clear that everyone from the seasoned black belts to the new white belts shares a common goal of mutual respect and improvement. The camaraderie is evident, and the positive energy makes every class enjoyable, no matter how challenging. Additionally, the facilities are exceptional. The mats are clean, well-maintained, and spacious enough to accommodate all levels of training. At one point, there looked to be about 16 students rolling on the mats. The gym also offers a variety of classes, including GI and no-GI options, which keeps the training fresh and exciting. Personally, I am intrigued with two classes: "Pathway to Purple Belt" and "4 oz Fridays." As I understand, both classes are necessary to earn a purple belt. I do not see these two classes as a hurdle to purple belt, but as an exciting challenge and an opportunity to improve my skills as a martial artist. Overall, Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu stands out as a gem in the jiu-jitsu community. It's not just a place to learn martial arts; it's a place to build confidence, make friends, and push yourself beyond what you thought possible. I highly recommend this location, and I will be training at this gym every time I return to the Newport News area.
