This is a really great place to train. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and always willing to offer help or advice and this is very much a reflection on the head coach, Alex.

Highly recommend Alexandre Fitness Jiu-Jitsu academy! The teachers are fantastic, patient and so encouraging with the kids. The academy is extremely well run, welcoming and has such a lovely atmosphere. Our son Theo enjoys going and especially loves practising his moves at home! It’s brilliant seeing his confidence grow while learning new skills, discipline and respect. We’re delighted we found such a great academy ⭐️

Nothing but good things to say about Alex, his staff and the facilities. I was made to feel welcome from day one. Alex and his team are patient, friendly and always happy to help, which makes a big difference when you're starting out. If you're thinking of giving jiu-jitsu a go, I'd highly recommend starting here!

Great academy with an amazing atmosphere. Alexandre and the other coaches really care about every student and give everyone the attention they need, especially the kids. They do a great job teaching respect, discipline, and good values, not just Jiu-Jitsu. The team is also fantastic. Everyone helps each other, trains with respect, and creates a safe, supportive environment where you can keep improving. I highly recommend this academy to anyone looking for quality training and a great community.

Alexandre’s gym is hands down the best place I’ve ever trained, and the only gym where my entire family truly feels at home. From the very first visit, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and genuine. I don’t know how Alexandre has done it, but he has built something truly special, a real community that feels like family. Everyone is supportive, humble, and motivated. The mats are filled with people of all ages and levels who lift each other up, both literally and figuratively. What makes this place stand out the most is how safe, polite, and respectful the environment is. It’s the perfect space for the whole family from kids, teens, adults, and even parents training together. I’ve never felt more comfortable bringing my loved ones to a martial arts gym. The culture of respect is lived every single day, not just talked about. My only regret is that we didn’t find Alexandre sooner. We’ve already grown so much in skill, confidence, and friendships and we’re just getting started. If you’re looking for a BJJ gym that’s more than just technique, a place that builds character, community, and lifelong bonds look no further. Thank you, Alexandre, for creating this beautiful home on the mats.

I would like to thank Sensei Alexandre for having me and my family at his dojo. We are trainning Mixed Martial Arts in private sessions so I can bring my kids on our own time and because of this we are able to go regurlaly. When I go by self, it is hard core because Sensei Alexandre push my limits. I really appreciate the professionalism and the kind enviroment built up with a great professional team and other dedicated Jiu Jistsu sudents and friends.

Started training here two months ago and I’ve really been enjoying it. The coaches at Alexandre Fitness are great, the atmosphere is very welcoming, and the training quality is excellent. I’ve already noticed a big improvement in my development and confidence since starting. Definitely a great place for anyone thinking about getting into jiu jitsu.

Fantastic academy and an amazing place to train. I train here myself and also enrolled my son, who is almost 5 years old, and he absolutely loves it. The kids’ classes are fun, well structured, and perfectly tailored for young children, while still teaching them real jiu-jitsu fundamentals in a great environment. Coach Alex is an outstanding coach — extremely knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to give extra time to anyone who wants it. You can really see how invested he is in each person’s progress. The atmosphere in the academy is friendly, respectful, and motivating, with a great mix of beginners and experienced practitioners. Classes are technical, well run, and challenging in the best way. Highly recommend to anyone looking to train BJJ themselves or introduce their kids to it. Brilliant gym and great people.

Alex is an outstanding instructor with a deep understanding of the art. His teaching methods are clear, structured, and incredibly effective, making it easy to grasp even the most complex techniques. The atmosphere at Alexandre Fitness is fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The gym is always spotless, which speaks to the pride the team takes in maintaining a top-notch environment for training. Despite being new to Jiu Jitsu, I already feel confident in my decision to stay here for the long haul. If you’re looking for a place to train where both the instruction and the community are exceptional, I highly recommend Alexandre Fitness.

I Couldn’t recommend Alex and the lads enough. Having started BJJ in Abu Dhabi a few month’s ago, I moved back to Ireland when I began to train with the team. The lads have made it so easy for me to join the and grow along with the rest of the group. Alex has created an amazing atmosphere where newcomers are welcome and people of all ages and skill level can grow simultaneously. The classes are very regular and are designed to be both educational and competitive with the right balance. If you are thinking about joining and feeling anyway apprehensive, no need to worry as there is a such a welcoming vibe.

Cannot recommend Alex and the team at De La Riva highly enough! Everyone is so helpful, you can see how passionate they are about what they do. The environment in the gym is great, everyone is so helpful and supportive and make you feel like part of the family right away. No matter what age you are, what level you’re at, or what goals you want to achieve, this is the place for you!🙏

Great club for kids to learn BJJ. The instructors are so great in understanding the need and creating the exercises making it fun and engaging for kids. My son loves going there and enjoys all activities. The place is neat, atmosphere is welcoming and the facilities are great. Kids attending the facility are so well behaved too. In all, a totally awesome club for fun exercise and learning BJJ! Highly recommended.

I went to Alex for Strength and Conditioning private sessions for 4 weeks without any prior experience with weight lifting. Alex explained things very clearly and was extremely attentive during the sessions. Alex was very respectful and made me feel very comfortable in a new environment. Great value and experience over all. I would definitely recommend Alex for anyone who is looking to improve their fitness no matter what the goals may be. I've continued following the detailed Alex made for me at the start of the course and have seen improvements.
