Kickboxing kicked my butt!
Tonight was the first time I've ever been in any kind of gym. I took the Fitness Kickboxing and LOVED it! The coaches are so positive and encouraging with no judgement. Kickboxing kicked my butt ... in a good way! I can't wait to come back <3

One of the best decisions I've made!
I adore the Spider Monkey BJJ class! My daughter is making new friends & learning how to be a well rounded person. I've seen a big improvement in her abilities & personality. My favorite classes cover stranger danger & how to carry yourself. This is one of the best choices I've made for my daughter!

Healthier now than I've ever been!
My son attends Kids Jiu Jitsu and I attend Fitness Performance. The coaches are phenomenal! I've never considered myself an athletic person, bu I'm healthier now in my 30s than I ever was in my 20s. I've also watched my son's talent & confidence skyrocket. SBG is our tribe!

You won't find more committed coaches anywhere!
I can't say enough about the environment SBG Atlanta has to offer. I came here injured, the coaches worked with my limitations, improved my form, as a result I hit new PRs, dropped 8 pounds, and remain injury free. You truly won't find more committed coaches anywhere else!

They make you feel like you belong!
Awesome gym. The people and the coaches are all amazing and great to train with. I've never been athletic and I've always been out of shape, but I have never felt like I didn't belong in the Muay Thai classes with everyone else.

Their motto is not a gimmick!
I found out really quickly that the "One Tribe One Vibe" moto is not a gimmick. It's their real way of life. I am a near 40 husband and father of four and having people who really want to see you achieve your goals makes it easy to show up consistently. This gym is amazing and I love it there!

We drive over an hour & it's worth every mile!
My daughter and I have been at this gym for almost a year. We drive over an hour to get there and it's worth every mile. The coaches and staff are amazingly friendly and supportive. If I could drag this gym closer to home we would be there more than three times a week!

So happy I did this for myself!
Yesterday was the first time I attended a class at SBG – it was the Fitness Kickboxing class with coach Jim. I am so glad I signed up for this class. You're constantly moving and Jim makes sure you're doing everything correctly for best results and no injuries! So happy I did this for myself!

About SBG Atlanta
Straight Blast Gym Atlanta is owned and operated by Coaches Phil Gentry and Jim Sheppard. After providing award-winning martial arts and fitness training to the men, women, and children of northern Atlanta since 2010 at their Straight Blast Gym Buford location, they decided to bring SBG to Atlanta in 2021.
Straight Blast Gym Atlanta offers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts, Kids Martial Arts, and Fitness Kickboxing classes. One-on-one sessions are also available to those looking for a more personal touch. Working privately with one of our martial arts coaches allows for them to tailor the curriculum to your specific goals and aspirations, and thus help to usher in amazing results in a shorter period of time. We also provide one-on-one personal training sessions with our certified and experienced fitness coaches.
SBG Atlanta is located on the corner of Briarcliff Road and Clifton Road and is easily accessible to the people of Atlanta, Druid Hills, North Druid Hills, Emory, Decatur, Toco Hills, the Virginia Highlands, Morningside, and Midtown.
We welcome people of all ages and skill levels, as Straight Blast Gym offers Foundations classes for new students that have no previous experience in martial arts. Our Fitness Kickboxing classes are also open to men and women of all fitness levels, as our coaches structure the workouts so that they can be performed and completed by both workout enthusiasts and those that are brand new to physical activity.
