    I highly recommend trying jiu jitsu - and find a place where you feel safe and you find your jiu…read morejitsu "family" - that place for me is Gracie Sports USA BJJ. I started back in 2006 in the original location with Marcio Stambowsky - the master at Gracie Sports. Marcio is an excellent friend and mentor who immediately makes you feel welcome. Professor Deborah, Marcio's daughter also teaches at the academy and brings many years of knowledge and experience. All the teachers there are amazing and the kids program is phenomenal as well. Whenever we are early for class - we watch the little kids roll and fight with the same techniques as the adults - it's great to see the quality of the education! Marcio is an 8th degree coral belt and one of the "Famous Five" black belts under Rolls Gracie. His knowledge is vast and deeply layered; it takes time to see that - but it's worth putting in the time! You can only get better! There are two locations - Norwalk across from Costco, and Fairfield near the shops downtown. Jiu Jitsu really helped me get out of my stagnant routine and "off the couch". I don't know if I would even be here today - I was 300 pounds and constantly had internal pains and health issues. I dropped 60 pounds since then and compete between 238-255. I'm still going strong at brown belt and it's my favorite thing to do - we all need something that is for "us" and sometimes you can share that with family members. I see a few couples train together and even have the kids enrolled. Jiu jitsu is awesome - and Gracie Sports USA is the awesomest! Give it a try - join today!

    I went onto Yelp to put in my 2 cents and cannot believe there aren't 100's of awesome reviews for…read morethis place. These folks are as good as it gets! They are all rock stars in their own right and our family is so incredibly excited to have stumbled into this gem of a BJJ studio. Our son is a 11 y/o hockey player. He has always been looking for his second sport only this time it found him. My husband brought our kid in for a sampler lesson and oh-my-god it was love at first take-down. Instant addiction. This is THE place to be. Every single instructor is so on top of everything. They are awesome possum people who are gentle, informative, interactive, FUN, and everything you could ever want for your kid all rolled into one. I honestly cannot say enough good things about these folks. You can tell they are a family - and they humbly welcome you in. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. And I also wish we had found them sooner!

The gym has a friendly, inviting atmosphere and Jonesly has created a culture that promotes encouragement and cooperation. He is happy to answer questions and explain techniques - I really appreciate his patience. His focus on safety is important to me; he wants members to understand the equipment and use it properly, and how to keep themselves and others safe (as safe as you can practicing a combat sport). My overall confidence has grown through his program.

The School is located on the 2nd floor of 61 Main Street between Hoyt Street and Cross Street. The school's core focus of martial arts are Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

    Ever since going to this gym 5 years ago I have had a laundry list of health problems. I have two…read moreherniated discs which started while training here and eventually got worse, one in my back and one in my neck. I also had at least 2 minor concussions here. The one that stands out most was when sparring an overeager new student. I literally fell over and people here hardly cared or noticed. Some of them were fine just hitting me hard in the head after it happened or just throwing me to the ground repeatedly as I did half speed kicks, even the person who knocked me down decided to swing for the fences again that same day. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and I probably didn't fully even know how hurt I was but I still think it was a little overkill and just weird to go after someone who is already obviously hurt. It's sparring not a fight. I made sure to write all this down after it happened because it was definitely not normal for this to happen at places like these. It was basically a beginner level class with some more advanced students if I remember correctly. Not a place where getting knocked out is common. I know how this sounds, it's a contact sport and stuff happens and I would have been fine with that and probably accepted it and moved on. However, the main problem is when I tried to speak to the owner several times, and one of the instructors once I did not have a good experience. I won't go into too much detail but I was accused of lying about my injuries, I was gaslit, asked if I was autistic multiple times, or they just made jokes or didn't take me seriously. The owner also thought I was a bully for hitting people hard in sparring when I was also frequently getting hit hard. The spars/rolls/clinching was often so over the top that my back literally gave out and I started to develop issues I've never had before. This place deserves a 1 star review not so much for the injuries but for being so scummy about it. If someone gets a bad injury at least be respectful about it. Would have been appreciated. The owner and anyone working for him really should take a hard look at themselves if this sort of behavior is still going on here. If someone has a complaint or concern, taking it seriously would be a good place to start. The owner also tries to get reviews deleted so I'm posting this on yelp cause it got deleted on google.

    Radius has been a safe haven for me (not grey or dark at all). I'm grateful for all of the people…read moreI have met and trained with. Everyone has been enormously supportive of my growth and one another as far as I can tell. I think it can be challenging for a woman to enter a sport that is predominantly male. However, I have always felt welcome and valued-something I cannot say I have experienced at many other gyms. I see the gym as a community--something that is intentionally built by leadership at Radius.

They were alright but they didn't have what I was looking for. FitClub has good vibes and hard training. There's not one person with a big ego or bad attitude in this place, and the ones that do don't end up joining. If you're looking for professional training with World class athletes and Champions then I highly suggest you drop in for a class!

I personally have always been a fan of weight lifting and strength training but going to the Fit Club classes such as the "body shock" and "ultimate fitness" where they always mix it up and usually it involves circuit training, alternating with body weight exercises and actual weights- I have been experiencing far more intense workouts then when I used to train on my own. I've always loved working out but I've never been able to Push as hard on my own as when I'm being instructed in the classes. Oh! I finally began to join the cardio boxing classes there too! I was way too shy/nervous/intimidated at first to do this but finally gave in cause it looked so fun. I'm a total convert. Now my favorite classes are the boxing! I get such an insane workout and I have such a good time, the instructors are awesome and I love the music! Everyone who goes to this gym is so friendly and it's such a wide range of people who come in, age, fitness level, etc that l can't see anyone walking in and feeling out of place. Also, I sometimes go into the gym when there's not a class going on just to do acro-yoga and play and do my own workouts.
