LEGACY FIGHT CLUB REVIEWS

We've tried training classes at several facilities in Barrie, but Legacy stands out as the best place for children to truly learn offensive and defensive skills. Unlike other programs that prioritize running around and unstructured play, Legacy focuses on teaching the skills they're paid to deliver. Based on our experience with their early training classes, I’m giving them 5 stars. I may update this review in the coming months as we continue.

My wife and I attended a Muay Thai event in Toronto and Legacy brought the heat to the opposition, showing incredible heart and skill. For my son's trial class, the kids' coaches showed tremendous patience and experience in fighter development. I signed him up for classes the next day. He is learning that being a fighter is not just about physical strength but strength in character as well. Thank you Legacy.

I attended the free class on Wednesday night and absolutely loved it! Everyone was incredibly kind and supportive. The instructors guided us every step of the way, and even though I came in with no prior experience, I truly felt like I belonged. I’ll definitely be signing up!.

SUBMISSION ARTS ACADEMY REVIEWS

One of the top places in Canada to train and grow at. I’ve had to privileged to travel and train all over Canada and the US for over 15 years with BJJ & Judo. Spencer is the best instructor I’ve had and a great mentor on and off the mats. You’ll not be disappointed to visit or call SubArts home.

Today was my first class ever, the class it self was amazing but what was even better was the people. Spencer was over the top and all the women there were so happy once I stepped onto the mat and instantly introduced themselves to me with the biggest smiles on their faces making me feel very welcomed. Everyone was so kind and understanding, making sure I knew what was going on and that I was getting the correct training.

Great place to train. Clean, very friendly. Im so glad i found this gym in Barrie for my 8 year old son. Highly recommend!.

CHAMPS ACADEMY HQ REVIEWS

I brought my son to Champs Academy for their free trial class in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My son instantly knew that he wanted to join. We felt welcome and comfortable from the start, and have ever since. The coaches are amazing (Alvaro, Shiv, Sam, Ben); attentive, kind and supportive to all the kids. My son has taken different class options but wanted to start competing. We entered him into the in-house competition just months after joining and to our surprise, he won his division. He felt so proud of himself. We highly recommend the gym and glad we joined.

We have had a great experience since joining Champs 6 months ago. The coaches are all fantastic, extremely kind, and seem to have never-ending patience! The parents and other kids have been welcoming as well. It's a comfortable atmosphere and my kids enjoy it very much. Respect and attention are encouraged in a firm but caring way. My kids have learned a great deal and we look forward to continuing our journey with Champs.

Our son has been with Champs for 6 months and loves it!! The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, patient and take the time to make sure the kids understand the lessons. The facility is also very clean and well kept.
