    SBG Atlanta Reviews

    There's more than one good reason why SBG is consistently the highest rated Gym in Metro Atlanta.

    • A safe space for open communication

      Since 2018, my daughter Elizabeth and I have bonded over Jiu Jitsu at SBG. It's more than a hobby; it's strengthened our relationship, providing a safe space for open communication and mutual growth.

    • It changed the overall view of myself

      Training BJJ at SBG has boosted my confidence and reshaped my self-perception as a woman. The supportive environment fosters a sense of safety and community, particularly within the ladies' BJJ group.

    • Quality of the programming and attention to detail

      Two months with Amanda enhanced my BJJ with quality, detailed programming. Her expertise shines through, and I eagerly anticipate each month's plan.

    • Tremendous program for my prenatal journey

      Amanda's tailored prenatal program kept me strong and mobile during pregnancy. Her personalized approach ensures specific needs are met. With her guidance, I'm confident about returning to the mats swiftly post-pregnancy.

    • This program is phenomenal

      At 44, with decades in martial arts, my focus is on recovery, injury prevention, and longevity. Amanda's program is phenomenal, keeping me on par with younger practitioners.

    • Clear, challenging, no fluff

      Amanda's program boosted my martial arts and fitness gains. Clear, challenging, no fluff. Her expertise tailors it perfectly to your goals, and she's always there for guidance.

    • Tailored programming

      Tailored programming suits individual goals and body types. Addressing my limited shoulder mobility, it enhances functional strength sans bulk. Vital for Jiu Jitsu longevity, reducing joint strain. A stellar addition to my routine, refining sports performance!

    • SBG became my sanctuary

      At 29, I joined SBG for my son but found my sanctuary. Jiu Jitsu transformed me, boosting confidence and belief. SBG's environment, coaches, and tribe made it possible. I found lifelong friends and a partner who shares my passion. SBG's culture fosters community and camaraderie.

    • 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.

    • 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!
