Hands down best martial arts gym around. Peter and Sara do a INCREDIBLE job making you feel welcomed. Everybody is friendly and I’ve learned so much! I highly recommend learning and training here no matter what your age/experience. Best facility around, with state of the art equipment. They literally have a sauna and cold plunge fully functioning and accessible INCLUDED. Classes are all the time so you can work around your schedule. I know it can be pretty nerve racking taking the first step to learning Jiu-Jitsu but there is absolutely no reason to be scared or nervous at 10th Planet Saint Petersburg. Hope to see you soon. PS- it’s VERY reasonable compared to EVERYTHING you get. World class coaching. World class people. -Josh
I trained at this gym for well over a year (unfortunately have since moved) and I couldn’t be more impressed! The sense of community here is outstanding. The coach is not only knowledgeable but also super funny and easy to get along with, making every class enjoyable while still pushing you to improve. The gym itself is spotless, which is always a huge plus. There’s a strong women’s team that’s incredibly close-knit, and it’s great to see such a positive, empowering atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to compete or just get better, this is the perfect place to train. I couldn’t be more great full for my experience at this gym and can not wait to come back because I have so much love for it. They also prioritize recovery with an ice bath, a sauna, and occasional visits from physical therapist, massage therapists and more for some extra charge.
Sooo pulled up fat out of shape and out of practice for over 3 years. Peter gave me hope I can get back into shape and learn to excel in the sport. I lost over 50 lbs met some great friends and have something to look forward to in life. Pull up man you won’t regret It
Trained here as a visitor, welcoming crew and very nice facility.
Awesome place to drop in and train, especially if youre 10th planet fam! I was in town for a week and stopped by for a few days of great training. The gym is huge and there was a ton of people to roll with, good vibes all around.
Man I love this gym! Can’t wait to get back after I heal up from an accident :)
Great place to learn. Very well structured. Good emphasis on drilling and actually learning the technique of a move properly.
One of the nicest gyms I've been too, definitely can tell it was a labor of love to build.
Huge training mats! Very welcoming, great training environment and an amazing instructor.
Great gym. I visited from out of town. Owners are awesome, and the classes were fun. I had a great experience. Plus they have lots of cool merch.
The best gym I've attended. Tons of mat space, great community, and a fun and safe gym culture. If all 10th planet gyms are like this one I can't imagine going back to any other gym.
I’ve trained at a few gyms and typically all have been pretty good. What separates 10p St Pete Is the leadership and environment Peter Di has created. A lot of fun but no nonsense when it comes to keeping it safe for others in all aspects of jiu jitsu. It’s a very refreshing feeling to be in the presence of someone who is a genuinely good person not just worried about making a profit. Instruction is top notch and he will answer all your questions the best he can. Really glad I found 10p st Pete.
I had the pleasure of training at 10th Planet St. Pete for approximately five months, in 2022. No matter how busy he was, Peter always made time for me; whether it was answering my question about a technique, coaching me while I competed or just chatting about life. Peter treats all of his students like family and has a tremendous work ethic as a coach. If you’re interested in starting jiu jitsu for the first time or you’re looking to join a new gym, 10P St. Pete is a must. The facility, team environment and coaching is nothing short of amazing.
I travel for a living and I have visited gyms all across the country. 10th Planet St. Pete's is one of my favorite BJJ gyms that I have come across during my travels. Peter, the head instructor, is absolutely awesome. His in-depth classes and ability to set a great tone for the gym's culture make it an incredible place to train. The variety and abundance of classes offered here are second to none, allowing me to explore different aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and meet my specific training needs. The facility and equipment are top-notch, providing an elite training environment. If you're looking for a BJJ gym with knowledgeable instruction, a positive culture, and excellent facilities, I highly recommend 10th Planet St. Pete's.
such a great school. vibes are great! we headed up for the Nate Orchard Seminar and they did such a wonderful job hosting us! Lots of great people in the gym and we had great rolls! check them outtttt!
This gym is an amazing place to learn and train. The community is awesome and full of great people. Definitely check it out!
6 months ago I started here. My husband said I might enjoy it since I love puzzles. The benefits of the sport weren’t lost on me even if early comprehension was (sorry Peter). Two months in I found myself in better shape at 38 than 28. My reach and posture improved immediately and that was from minimal participation, but I didn’t really glean anything until I started rolling with brutally reciprocal results. It’s a wonderful and humbling experience. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been in my life and I’m reminded daily of how little I know comparatively. Not long ago I got in a bad accident, Tboned by a drunk driver in a stolen car, and was completely unscathed. Rattled but fine, minimally sore the second day. I’m not saying jiujitsu will make you a Superman, but I’m a better stronger version of me versus me 6 months ago. I started initially for the work out since our previous Muay Thai gym was gone, but the mental benefit is what sold me for life. And these are the nicest ladies you could ever hope to be taken by.
I started training here in January (6 months ago) . Peter is an amazing instructor and promotes and incredibly accepting and wonderful Gym culture. James and Chris run a wonderfully paced and technically specific beginners (methods) class. The Gym is fantastic with plenty of Mat space and classes all throughout the day. 10th planet Saint Pete has changed my life ! I can’t say enough good about this place. If you are thinking of joining just do it! Come and train with us!
I visited from out of town and was welcomed with open arms. The gym was clean with a ton of mat space and Pete showed us some great details during class. Highly recommend!
I had an awesome time these last 2 days. Peter and Sarah were so welcoming! Peter is a great instructor and you can tell that he loves what he does. The facility is one of the best 10th Planets I’ve visited. Great space, clean, great gear & even a nice cat that roams around. 3 fans blowing that keep you cool. If I lived near here I would definitely join.
Visiting from out of town, so I tried their 2-day vacation pass. Very clean environment, and high-quality instruction in an informal, relaxed space. Very inclusive club, seeing as there were about the same amount of men and women on the mats, of various ages. Great air conditioning too, seeing as the Florida heat is a bit strong for me. If you're visiting from out of town, or looking to start grappling in a friendly environment that is not intimidating (the club prides itself on being Members First), then 10th Planet St. Pete is the club for you!
Such a great gym. Thanks to Peter and his team. I recommend it to anyone
10th Planet St. Pete is a great gym. Peter is an amazing instructor that I have learn under at his 10th planet Royal Oak location in Michigan.
This is a high quality professional jiujitsu gym. I spent time training with Peter and his students and had an outstanding experience. After 7 years of jiujitsu and a lifetime of martial arts experience I have a lot of gyms to compare it to- this is a high end school. Peter has invested a lot in creating a high end facility with modern equipment and fitness capital as well. They were also notably clean and very disciplined about good hygiene. This is the jiujitsu gym 5-star hotel equivalent. The instruction is top notch, and the students have a good culture of friendliness, discipline, and community. If you are looking to try jiujitsu, or if you’re a more experienced practitioner focusing on competition, this is a great environment for modern BJJ. I recommend anyone in the area visit this gym.
Dropped in from indy. First class coaching, first class atmosphere, and first class training partners. Highly recommend.
When I joined 10th planet it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Peter the instructor is knowledgeable and helpful, and makes sure that everyone is comfortable and safe while learning. The atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming, and there is always someone willing to help you out if you are having trouble. The classes are challenging but rewarding and the motivation from Peter and other members helps me stay driven to keep training. I highly recommend this jiu jitsu gym to anyone looking for a great way to train, stay in shape, and build a family.
Had a great time training at 10th Planet St Pete! Was lucky enough to visit for a few days and felt so welcomed, learned some awesome technique from Coach Peter, and got to meet some wonderful people! Great atmosphere all around :) Definitely recommend training here if you are in the area!
I started training with Peter when he ran 10th Planet Royal Oak in Michigan just before covid started. I was looking for a team atmosphere and to compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He quickly became one of my best friends and a huge influence in my life on and off of the mats. He inspired me to begin running and since then I’ve run 7 half marathons and have gotten in the best shape of my life. When 10th Planet St Pete was finished I didn’t hesitate to move to St Petersburg and train full time under him. He has honestly changed the trajectory of my life and I am super grateful for him! I’ve met a bunch of amazing people training here and the facility is top notch. If you are looking to change your life for the better look no further. I’ll see you on the mats!
10th Planet St. Pete & Peter Di are providing the best instruction and gym environment in the area 100%. The excitement and energy in the gym for every class is electric and truly special. I cant recommend this gym enough regardless of your experience.
Amazing atmosphere, good training, good teammates, and an awesome coach! You really can't go wrong if you wanna train here.
High level jiu-jitsu and cool people. I am brand new to grappling so it’s a bit overwhelming, but the more experienced students are super helpful and encouraging. Great community!
Been training here for 9 months. I lost 20lbs, I’m in the best shape of my life and I’m learning techniques you see in high level grappling matches. Great coaching. Great facility. I’ve brought friends here to join too.
10p has been very welcoming to me despite having no prior bjj experience. Coach Peter makes every class fresh, fun, & challenging- I am glad I started my martial arts journey here #chillindude
I joined about a month ago and am loving it! Plenty of classes spread throughout the day and the numbers are only growing!
10P is the best gym in Florida hands down! Top not facility, CLEAN, and most importantly, a coach who cares and a coach who is obsessed with YOUR PROGRESS. Peter is so selfless and inspiring. I love learning under him and before I joined this gym, my passion for jiu jitsu was waning because I was missing my home gym and the first gym I tried in St. Pete wasn’t a fit for me. But under Peter, under the 10th Planet banner, my passion has been invigorated. Peter is passionate, knowledgeable, and promotes a healthy gym culture.
Coach Peter is a great coach. He keeps a great vibe in the gym and finds a way to keep it competitive and friendly at the same time. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train in the Tampa Bay Area. 5/5 stars
10th Planet St. Pete is next level. Very welcoming environment, everyone is there to have fun, but also compete. Master Peter Di is one of the best around. He puts emphasis on cultivating a friendly and CLEAN environment, while also pushing your limits to get better. Would recommend this gym to anyone to get into the community.
Just started a few months ago and it has been a great decision. This is a fantastic gym full of a bunch of people who push you to get better. Peter is an awesome instructor who obviously walks the walk. He’s super patient and you can tell his enthusiasm for Jiu Jitsu. If you’ve been thinking about starting, just do it, you won’t regret it.
This is an amazing gym that I definitely recommend going to! Coach Pete does a great job at explaining and providing constructive feedback. It's a fun, chill, and nonjudgmental environment. This is the perfect place whether you're new or have been practicing for a while
Man am I glad I found this place! Awesome classes, awesome staff, awesome people, awesome time! The mat space is massive and you never feel like you are on top of one another like you do at some smaller gyms. The head coach Pete was very welcoming and made sure to answer any of the questions on had on and off the mat. I will definitely be returning as a full fledged member of the 10th Planet St. Pete team. Check it out!
I gave my son a year of jiu jitsu as a graduation gift and I can honestly say it’s changed his life! Lee has dropped 20 pounds and his confidence is through the roof! Thank you Pete and 10P!!!!
Really impressed with this place. Wanted to try the 10th planet system because I heard all about it on JRE and was not disappointed. The way Pete broke down the system’s fundamentals like rubberguard has made massive improvements in my game. Highly recommend!
Pete is legendary. Not only is he a natural coach, he welcomes us all like his own family. This gym has grown so much and EVERYONE is better because of it. Thank you 10p!
I dropped in to see what the hype was all about and was really surprised with this place! Clean, amazing staff, awesome amenities (showers and ice bath), not to mention that Pete runs a tight ship! I see this place taking home a lot of tournament golds in the near future!
Didn’t realize the art of Jiu Jitsu could be so intense, addicting and fun! 10th planet in St Pete’s is super-rewarding.
I train at 10P SD and I dropped in here during my layover to the Dominican Republic and gracias a Dios I did because I was able to not miss a single day of training while away from home besides of course when I got to DR (Best they had was a shack with some cardboard on the floor!) Not Pete! He's got all the gadgets you'd expect from an avid JRE enthusiastic including an ice bath! Do yourself a favor when you're in the last free state of Florida and hit up 10P SP!
Love this place because of Nick “Who Put The Fuzz On The Peaches” Trillo
If your looking for a place to mold you into shape this place is where you need to be I’ve seen first hand how much impact they’ve had on there trainers lives and how much progress they’ve made in a short time
Nick Trillo a member of this gym has been encouraged me to try Jiu Jitsu. I’m glad I listened to him because the information and teaching process employed here is second to none
I started out jiu Jitsu at Gracie Barra doing only gi training. I grew up there and the people there became my family and watched me grow up. I moved to St Pete for college and was looking for a gym with a similar family vibe that I had back home. I’ve tried gyms a ton of places around the area but none of them have been a better fit than 10th planet st. pete. The owners, off the bat, made me feel very welcomed. The community they have created there is incredible. They have done an outstanding job of creating an environment where you can both better your Jiu Jitsu and meet amazing and kind people. I have enjoyed every second of being there and every day they push me to be better.
I've been training for 12 years and I started here after moving to the area. Thanks to the great coaching my game has improved tremendously since I started training with Peter. I see my teammates of a skill levels improving too. Guarantee this is the best gym in the area.
Everyone is friendly. The gym has a cool aesthetic and it’s super clean. Peter is incredibly knowledgeable. The gym has me excited about training again.
I drove over an hour and half to train here when I was visiting Florida and it did not disappoint, it was completely worth the trip, (I’ve trained at a variety of both gi and no gi gyms over the years) Hands down the best jiu jitsu gym to train at in St. Petersburg and the entire Tampa area 12/10 stars- I will absolutely be back next time I am in town. Some key highlights below — — Peter the instructor was super knowledgeable, friendly, and ran excellently structured classes — all training partners were very welcoming — the gym is clean, has great vibes, and overall just dope environment
I got my blue belt while training in Taiwan. I heard a few horror stories of competitive gyms constantly hurting their members and became a bit anxious of the atomosphere I would be returning to. All of that was erased when I met Coach Peter and the club. From the first rounds to the end every person had the intention to improve their Jiu Jitsu and have a great time while doing it. I found varying levels of technique, experience and styles from the familiar to exotic. Peter has established a vibe that is infectious, which promotes a training level that is a pleasure to sweat through!
I’m a blue belt from Virginia who just moved to St. Petersburg. Showed up my first day here and immediately knew this was the gym I wanted to join. Very inviting and great team mindset.
Wish I found this place earlier, I’m new to the sport and Peter has been a great coach. Don’t look anywhere else, just join here!
I've been training jiu jitsu for six years and this is absolutely one of the best schools. The atmosphere is very welcoming. A great place for new students and seasoned ones alike. Coach Peter puts his time into each of his students and promotes a positive atmosphere. We're all there to make each other better and if you give him your time, he will make you better. 🤙
If you wanna do the best jiu Jitsu around look no further. It’s impossible to not get good under peter d! Great guy great coach n even better person! Thank you 🙏
Awesome gym. Coach Peter and all the students want each other to succeed and become better each day. Peter will go out of his way after class is over to help students when they are confused about a move or have questions.
Peter is a great instructor and keeps the environment fun while still emphasizing hard work and technique. From those just starting their bjj journey to those trying to take their game to the next level, 10th planet st Pete should be your first spot to check out. You definitely won’t regret it!
Awesome new gym, very fun and inviting. Great vibe and Coach Peter is the best. 10/10 highly recommend 10th Planet in St Pete!
Brand new gym in the heart of St. Pete. Friendly and competitive environment with a true expert at the helm in coach Peter. I urge you to check this place out .
Coming from another 10P I was skeptical of this place 🤔BUT BOY WAS I WRONG! Coach Pete made me feel extremely welcomed and he makes sure you get the attention to detail you need to perfect your game, whatever that may be. If you are coming from a jiu jitsu background and are interested in the 10th Planet System, you’re trying jiu jitsu for the first time, or you just want a fun way to stay in shape and make some lifelong friends! Come on down!
Refreshing Jiujitsu. Coach Peter is amazing… I’m learning a bunch. Great training partners… hard sparing rounds after class. Slick new BIG gym.
An elite level jiujitsu education, in a friendly fun-loving atmosphere. Cannot recommend this gym enough, get ready to embark on an incredible journey.
Been going for about a week now. Great gym, Peter Di is an awesome coach! No pressure atmosphere, THE spot to learn jiu jitsu!
Tried a few different places before coming to 10th Planet St.Pete and there’s nothing like it. Very welcoming and whether you’re brand new or you’ve been doing jiu jitsu for years Coach Peter will help you grow.
Love this place! I started with 10th planet in ATX before moving to St Pete. The coaching is on point, facilities are top notch and the vibe is chill. Big emphasis on community too, which is great since this city is pretty much all transplants
10th Planet is awesome for a few reasons. 1. the facility & equipment is brand new and super clean - everything from the mats to the small details feels like an upscale, well-maintained training gym. 2. The coach, Peter, is one of the most motivated coaches and gym owners I've ever met, and his focus is genuinely on making people better rather than turning a quick buck. He places a huge emphasis on keeping the vibe great and gym's atmosphere open. 3. The quality of people training here is super high– everyone I've met is looking to get better, checks their ego at the door, and is willing to teach and learn. The place so new and is only going to keep improving.
I’m a purple belt , been training for 7 years now , Peter’s Jiu-Jitsu is on another level, he lives and breathes the art and you can tell when you’re training with him
Peter is a great coach who explains things in great detail while keeping it light and fun. His gym is in a great location and has tons of mat space. I can say I’ve never seen more mat space than he has. You can see his passion for the sport and his welcoming atmosphere makes you feel like part of a team. Hands down best gym in town.
10th Planet St. Pete is a beautiful new gym that offers classes every day of the week. Peter Di is the head instructor here and does a great job of balancing thorough and modern jiu jitsu instruction with a fun atmosphere. If you are looking to learn jiu jitsu from a top tier instructor and have a great time learning then look no further than 10th Planet St. Pete!
What makes 10p stand out is that the focus is on Jiu Jitsu, not on "Cuddle Kata" (patent pending). Techniques make sense, and you put them to use. If you want to DO Jiu Jitsu this is the place and you learn by doing. Not withstanding, all the people i've met here have been extremely nice and welcoming. Highly recommended!
10th planet st pete is truly a gem stone! Coach Peter will go above and beyond for his guys and the environment he created here is one of a kind. I 100% recommended this gym if you are truly looking to find a gym that will make you grow as an athlete and person.
Peter is a great coach and helps build your jiu jitsu to the highest level
I met coach Peter back when I lived in Michigan and he helped me fall in love with this sport. Full disclosure, Peter’s a bit of a psycho but he’s only that way so he can push you to be the best you that you can possibly be. He’s created a super welcoming gym and a great team that became like a second family to me. I’m excited to continue training with Peter and I’m proud to call him my coach and my friend.
Tried jui jujitsu for the first time here. Very welcoming and knowledgeable. Peter coached and you tell how passionate he is for the sport. Everyone else in the class were giving me pointers as well. Overall a great experience don’t hesitate to try this place out!
