Such a beautiful facility with the friendliest staff and awesome trainers! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Our family has been part of this gym community for nearly 5 years. It has been a phenomenal journey for us. From watching my husband hit the mats, to my kids joining BJJ, me becoming a coach and leading the WOD, my daughter getting her first job there, and now all of us on the mats together! This is not just a gym you go to in order to get fit. It is a gym you join to fill gaps in your life. Whether it be improving your fitness, trying a new sport, or needing community… BMA has it all! Once you dig in you become family and you truly find friendship in the Rodeman family and the members. This family has a passion for serving the community and growing a positive gym environment. You can feel the energy the first time you walk through the doors. The positivity engulfs you!! I cannot say enough amazing things about BMA and about the whole Rodeman family. If you want to get into a gym, martial arts, or group fitness this is the place you, and your family, need to be.
Love BMA! I can’t say enough great things about the environment and group of AWESOME people. BMA is 100% family and community focused supportive for all ages and abilities. BMA has become a home away from home. I can’t recommend them enough. BMA is SO much more than a regular, generic gym; They are a family!
Battle Ground Martial Arts Academy offers more than just physical training; it fosters an encouraging community where members uplift each other to reach their full potential. The atmosphere exudes empowerment, as students not only learn self-defense techniques but also gain confidence and self-assurance. The instructors impart valuable lessons in discipline, teaching students the importance of dedication and perseverance both on and off the mat. It has been such a pleasure to become part of the community they have built.
A fun and safe place for the entire family, to learn and grow in a diverse martial arts, weights, cardio curriculum that promotes community and healthy competition. All ages welcome you are never to old start. Is today day 1 or 1 day?
Our family loves Battle Ground Martial Arts Academy! We have been coming here for over 3 years and to see the progress our children have made on and off the mats is amazing. The coaches are hands down the best around, teaching not only jiu-jitsu technique but also character building, self discipline and accountability. The friendships that have come from being apart of this community are ones that will last a life time and I am so thankful that our kids have a positive outlet to grow both physically and mentally.
The owners of BMA Academy are top-notch people with a rare blend of expertise and humility. They have a phenomenal Kids Jiu Jitsu program that our three oldest sons have been a part of for two years. Their level of development during these two years has been impressive. We love this place!
Phenomenal gym. Everything you could need to get a solid workout. The community is amazing and the class selections are off the chart. Cannot say enough good things about this facility and the family that keeps it running. Huge blessing to the community.
Been going here for close to a year now and love this little gym. Pretty small space but never too many people and just about all the equipment you’ll ever need. The people have always been chill and friendly, with staff being very helpful.
BMA is not just any gym it’s a gym that becomes like home. A place you feel comfortable and always welcomed. Jeremiah and Nathan are awesome people and are so inviting! Family oriented people! Come check out the gym it’s worth it!
A great place to be. I never realized just how important this place became to me until I started going. Friendships I’ve gain and the support I feel. It feels like a second home. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. If you are thinking about taking a chance on this place just do it. You won’t regret it.
Glad I’m apart of this Gym! It seems like they’re always getting new/different attachments for the machines and most equipment they have you won’t see in most commercial gyms. Everything from HIIT workout options to Strength training. I personally only use the equipment they have there but from what I can see they have great kickboxing & jujitsu classes always going on as well. Prices are low too. Hit em up! 💪🏼
If you are looking for a gym that allows you to diversify your style of staying healthy BMA is the place for you! I originally joined with intentions of just being able to broaden my horizons of using different equipment, but I quickly was immersed into a community and family atmosphere that opened my eyes to much more than I bargained for. Along with standard equipment you see in most gyms, they also offer many different martial arts classes, CrossFit style group work outs, and private training. Also since they are open 24-7 it allows you to train at any hour that fits your schedule. This place is top-notch!
This place is perfect for anybody looking to get in shape. They offer kick boxing and Muy Thai training along with a full selection of weight training and cardio machines. Staff is friendly and always willing to help. Very welcoming atmosphere.
Best gym in the area! The community and staff here are amazing. I’ve been doing personal training here with coach Michael and have seen amazing results! If you’re looking for a new gym, this is the place for you!
As someone who has been going to different gyms/health clubs since the late 80’s, I can tell you that this is a great gym to be a member at. They have great owners, great members, great hours, while offering a wide variety of both machine and free weights. They also offer personal training, kick-boxing, and Jiu-jitsu classes for both the young and older folks😁. Great place for the family to get in shape or stay in shape at!
BMA is more than just a gym! Its family! Sure there are other gyms, but none like BMA. There’s something for everyone! Personal trainers, kickboxing for both kids and adults, Jiu jitsu for both kids and adults, and kids wrestling. All of the coaches are motivated and driven to help you succeed! The atmosphere the Rodeman family has built there is absolutely phenomenal, come experience it for yourself!
Very cool gym. This place has a very good vibe. Positive clean music.. family feel. People are friendly and welcoming. I can safely say the motivation I get from the people around me has me in the best shape I've been in since wrestling days many many years ago!
I train BJJ here and I use the gym occasionally. The gym is always clean, has a great assortment of machines, dumbbells, etc. Owners are friendly too and so are the regulars. The BJJ classes are taught by guys who definitely know what they're doing, and are good at teaching. Very friendly and welcoming if you're thinking of signing up
I can’t recommend this gym enough. The classes are great, the people that go are friendly, and it has everything I need to get a good workout in. They have knowledgeable instructors, a ton of equipment, and a wonderful community within the gym walls :)
I just moved here a couple of months ago and naturally wanted to find a place to train since I've been doing Jiu Jitsu for a few years now. In my short tenure here, I've met a lot of amazing people and the instruction is top notch! Whether you are a beginner or have some experience, you will find quality instructors who are passionate about the art and will make you better.
Excellent place. Family focus and awesome Jiu-Jitsu. Jeremy Rodeman is. N excellent instructor. Reminds me a lot of Universal. Only 9 miles away and excellent gym open 24 hours. “ No Excuses”.
The BMA academy is a great place for beginners and high level grapplers. The environment is extremely inviting and willing to help with any activity whether it’s lifting, jiu jitsu, kick boxing, wrestling, etc. I personally started participating in their jiu jitsu program and have loved every second of it! Their wrestling coach Eric Gonzales and their jiu jitsu coach/owner Jeremiah Rodeman are extremely qualified, patient, and invested in their athletes. Highly recommend!
Both Jeremiah and Virginia are fantastic to work with! They are people of integrity committed to helping their community learn BJJ and meet their health and fitness goals. I highly recommend BGMAA!
In a time when we need this facility the most, Rodefit came through. Excellent, friendly service and great Men & Women all around. Very convenient, to go workout the hours I wanted. I recommend this gym to anyone looking to get fit or simply just wanting a good workout.
From the moment I walked in their I was brought in as well as many of my friends with open arms from EVERYONE. Even the new members and all the new faces I’ve seen are amazing and it’s just an awesome family atmosphere 24:7 in their. Everyone cares for one another and wants to see each other succeed. I got into a bad wreck a few months back and I’ve felt nothing but never ending support from Nathan and Jeremiah especially and many many more! It has truly truly been the hugest blessing ever to be able to be apart of the BMA family!
This has been such an amazing place for our whole family. From the weights, WOD, cardio kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu my family is utilizing all the options. We all get our fitness needs met. The staff is out of this world, so friendly, able to answer all of our fitness questions and the list goes on. The environment is so inviting and family friendly. We can’t stop telling people about this place, it’s so healthy all the way around (pun intended 😂.)
BMA is the best gym!!! I love to workout to here, everyone is so friendly. I have created a lot of good friendships. The owners Jeremiah and Nate are very welcoming and kind. They create a super fun and motivating environment.
5 stars without a doubt, best gym community I’ve ever experienced, when it’s go time it’s go time , none of that sitting at the station on your phone type of mess that you would see at 24 hour or la fitness. . The energy you will experience here is what makes this gym different from any other..
I was really missing working out without a mask on and I also missed smiling at people and seeing their smiles. This place allows for both of those amenities and so much more! The people are friendly and kind, the owners have their members best interest in mind and their communication skills are great! They’re expanding and getting more and more equipment, come and experience an inspiring, loving, family oriented gym environment with us!
Awesome atmosphere and training facility. High quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction and great people. Huge selection and variety of gym equipment. An extremely clean and well maintained facility.
I love this gym!! Great people even better atmosphere.. Ive tried every gym in vancouver i swear. Nothing has competed with the comradery here. its like family and not showing up makes you feel like you have let them down in some way. Always a positive place. Domt friggin change
This place is awsome. All the staff and gym patrons are really nice and helpful. The martial arts classes whether it be muay thai or jiu-jitsu are really fun and a great work out. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to practice MMA or are just wanting to get in shape and meet some awsome people.
This is the most incredible place to train. They have a huge variety of equipment, amazing staff, great music and the environment is top notch. I’ve trained at powerlifting gyms and many commercial gyms in Battle Ground and Vancouver but this place beats them all.
Best gym I’ve been to in a long time. They’ve got a wide range of equipment and they’re very helpful with everything they do. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get a good lift in or even take the classes they provide there.
Love this gym! Very friendly and helpful staff here and it’s super easy to feel right at home. Great Jiu Jitsu classes and workout equipment as well.
I found this gym from a friend of mine about two months ago and I am very very impressed. Not only with the staff and the owners but with their up to date equipment. Truly outstanding equipment and clean facility. I highly recommend joining this gym for the weights or any of the classes that they hold as well. They have it all. Check them out!
I really enjoy coming into this gym. The Positive energy of the staff and the members that train there all have amazing attitudes. I have been in the gym many times where Nathan the owner would be in the middle of his workout and will stop to show a new member how to use the equipment or answer questions, and does it with enthusiasm. Nathan and his 2 brothers give off amazing energy and make it feel like a family atmosphere while everyone is working out. If you want a great gym, awesome atmosphere and positive vibes, this is the place to be. Spirit young
What drew me in initially was the equipment I had read about in an article and on the website. I brought my son with me to check it out and we joined right away. The classes are awesome and the energy is amazing!! Trainers are super helpful, knowledgeable, encouraging and fun! Some of the equipment you see in a big box gym, but some is different and perfect for functional training, body building, strength training or Olympic Training! ❤️👊💪🏋️♂️
My husband and i signed up just a few weeks ago but we both really enjoy working out there. They have great equipment, and awesome people. The owners Nathan, Michael and Jeremiah are very welcoming and friendly. You dont just feel like you go to a gym to get a good workout but you feel apart of community.
Amazing Place! The owners have done a great job creating a culture and a community within the atmosphere of their facility! They have everything you would need in terms of equipment and knowledge to facilitate you in achieving your goals. The brothers were extremely friendly and nice to answer any of my questions that I had.
Great gym! Equipment is all high quality and they have a lot of different unique pieces as well. The environment is very motivating, as there are members in all different stages in their fitness journey. Owners/employees are professional and personable... always willing to answer questions or provide fitness routine ideas. I do not participate in the fitness classes or martial arts but they look really fun.
My new favorite gym in town. The atmosphere, owners, and members are all great. I was first drawn to the range of equipment. BMA has the equipment that I’ve noticed commercial gyms lack, GHD machines, belt squat machine, reverse hyper-extension, and Sleds - to name a few. You don’t have petty rules or aisles of cardio machines, and there’s 24/7 access.
BMA is operated by three very welcoming, professional, all around great guys. And they so happen to be brothers. Family owned, family feel type of gym. I've worked out for years at BIG gyms where you're pretty much just another gym member. These guys make you feel like part of the family. Weight resistance and cardio equipment, cardio kickboxing, small group boot camp training, and BJJ classes. ALL the tools to get in shape with NO EXCUSES!!
This is by far the best gym I’ve been apart of. Any building can have workout equipment and call it a gym, BMA and what the Rodeman brothers have built is a culture of helping others and obtaining your own goals in a family type of environment. Workouts designed for any level of fitness and a wide range of martial arts, kickboxing and grueling wod’s to kick off post quarantine life. Highly recommend this awesome place.
I regularly attend the WOD classes. The instructors are great and the workouts can be modified for all skill levels. The gym is a family friendly environment and everyone is welcoming and supportive.
I would just like to start off by saying that this is by far the best gym I have been to. I have been to about five different gyms in my life and this gym pushes me to work out and also has new and fresh equipment. They have kickboxing classes workout classes and martial arts classes all that one gym. There are not many gyms that have this many things to do. The staff is very friendly and very encouraging. The workouts are very fun and are always something new to do. 10/10 experience and would recommend to any friends or family.
I originally joined BMA for jujitsu classes. They are great my instructor Jeremiah is very knowledgeable in jujitsu ( he is a black belt )and is a great instructor. Not only are there jujitsu classes seven days a week there’s a huge gym that is open for me to use.There’s all sorts of new equipment that I’ve never been exposed to that I’ve been taking advantage of using. Such as a Bulgarian bag ,medicine balls ,row machines etc etc! The other two instructors that are there are Nathan and Michael and they are so helpful when you’re in the gym showing you The right way to use the equipment.I truly can say the Jujitsu and joining this gym is making my life better in such a positive way. To see all three of the coaches with smiles on their face ready to help every individual in there to be better is truly a joy !
We have been coming here since they opened and live this gym and their staff! Coaches are amazing at what they do but also as human beings! They are a loving family with the great compassion for everyone and overall when you come to the gym you feel like you are part of the family. I would recommend this gym kids for Jui Jitsu, my son has developed confidence and discipline since he has been coming here and I have started working out while practice so it’s so very convenient and at my own pace. This is a wonderful place to belong :)
At 44 years old I started putting on weight (it happens). I ballooned up to 296lbs from 175lbs over a 4 year period. Obviously, my health took a beating and I realized I had 2 choices, do something about it or die. I began a simple diet and walking 45 minutes a day. I was successful and lost 70 lbs over 12 months but soon plateaued. I knew I needed more... enter BG Martial Arts Academy. The minute I walked in I knew this was the place for me. I have been to A LOT of gyms over my life and instantly knew this was like no other gym I've been in before. Nate, Jeremiah and Michael are phenomenal!!! The energy, motivation, genuine passion for helping those who seek a healthy lifestyle and knowledge are absolutely amazing. These guys genuinely care about every client. Accountability and motivation on a daily basis is what these guys are all about. No matter your fitness level these guys are here to help. I've been to several gyms where they could care less if you showed up or not and if you did you'd be lucky if they acknowledged your presence. You can't step foot into BMAA without some sort of positive acknowledgement or sincere greeting "What are you working on today?". I was having an "off" day and not feeling very motivated. Nate immediately recognized it and grabbed me to hop into the WOD (Workout of the Day) which was EXACTLY what I needed. By the end I was smoked but felt so much better than when I walked in. I am telling you, these guys are LEGIT!!! All the equipment is top notch!!! The other clients are all friendly and supportive without that creepy "meat market" feel some gyms have. I have suggested this place to quite a few people and that is not something I normally do. Check it out....you won't be sorry. You have to do the work, but I promise if you put in the effort Nate, Jeremiah and Michael will get you the results you are looking for. Whether it is personal training, the multiple classes they offer or just motivation you have no excuses not to succeed.
Love this gym! If you’re looking for overall health and fitness, and a great environment to train in, this is your place! I purchased the open gym part only, as I’m more into bodybuilding/ CrossFit/powerlifting style. They have many different specialty bars to choose from, bumper plates , T bar row station, along with a reverse hyperextension machine and a belt squat (plate loaded). A few squat racks as well of course. I’ve met two of the owners (Jeremiah and Nathan), both very enthusiastic, positive, and humble individuals. As for the martial arts side of the gym, I haven’t trained in that area. I have seen others training though, and I will say it looks very intense, and fun! I’ll go to this gym when my target is setting massive PR’s, and getting INTENSE!
The best part of this gym are the coaches and staff. They lead some highly engaging, challenging, and accessible classes no matter your current fitness level and take the time to get to know the members. I've tried quite a few gyms in the Vancouver area and this is easily the best. Class times are convenient and adaptable to all fitness levels. I highly recommend trying the cardio kickboxing with Michael if you're just getting started!
The staff here are amazing! They truly take an interest and care about their clients, they treat you like family. I am truly excited about my journey with them. Thank you Jeremiah & Nathan & the Battle Ground MAA family
This gym is great! You name it, they have it. I do personal training three days a week and have completely transformed my energy and the way I feel about my body. Great group of people helping other people out!
I absolutely love BGMAA! Everyone is so friendly! I have been training there only for a few months and can already feel how much stronger and fitter I am. 45 minutes of kickboxing is the recipe to sweat my stress out and build ultimate self-confidence. Thank you, Jeremiah and Mickey for helping me get there! Thank you, Nathan, for ensuring business side of things runs smoothly. You guys are awesome!
Awesome place to work out and train bjj. I'm brand new to bjj and everyone at bma made it very easy and fun to start. Over all I'm super happy I chose this gym and would reccomend it to any one.
I am a 33 y.o. woman with no martial arts experience. I walked in curious about jiu-jitsu and they welcomed me with no reservations. The classes are fun, a great workout, and productive, and the trainers and other students are good people too. This is a very supportive atmosphere and I feel confident in myself and BMA bringing me to my fitness and martial arts goals.
This place has changed my life for the better!! It makes all the difference when you have people so engaged and enthusiastic as the team at BMA. I haven't felt this good about myself since high school. You can tell they take pride in their gym. They keep it very clean and the equipment is brand new. If you're considering joining please take the leap you will not regret it. Thank you to Jeremiah, Virginia, Nathan and mikey. You guys are beyond awesome.
I’ve trained with these guys back In the days when they were in San Diego and they are the real deal. When it comes to shredding the fat you need lose and working on perfect form & technique Jeremiah & coach mike definitely know the art to reach your goals. These guys have been perfecting this art for years & definitely seasoned in the game. You won’t regret it, you’ll thank this post later haha check it out!
Super clean gym and a great atmosphere! The staff is super personable and friendly. I’ve done a couple personal training sessions with Nathan and it’s great to have someone push you and build motivation to hit your goals!👍
I signed up for personal training sessions this month and am excited to begin seeing results! The gym is clean and full of new equipment, everything you need for a full work out experience. I’m so pleased with the excellent customer service! Jeremiah really pushes and helps you find motivation/determination when you thought you had none left! That’s the kind of trainer I appreciate because sometimes I find myself wanting to give up, but Jeremiah and the other staff are there to remind me I can do it 💪🏽💪🏽
BMA is a great place to train and is the first and only Jiu Jitsu/MMA gym in the north Clark county area. Jeremiah, Nathan, Scott and the rest of the training staff at BMA treat you like family when you walk in the door. Jeremiah creates a learning atmosphere for all experience levels and the training is well planned and organized. Whether you’re brand new or have been training for years this is a great place to train for self defense or to get in shape. They also have a great selection of high quality fitness equipment if you want to incorporate weight lifting into your training routine. All in all this is a great place to train and workout for all ages and experience levels.
Love the kickboxing class! The instructor is always pushing me, even when I’m at the end of my energy reserve (though anyone who knows me would tell you that isn’t possible). It’s definitely a challenge on the cardio level and my calves are always screaming. Nathan is pretty funny and the facility is nice as well. Glad to have this in BG and thankful for the 5:30 class time. 😁
I started the cardio kickboxing class about 2 weeks ago and love it. It is a great workout with a very knowledgeable instructor! All the staff are super friendly and make everyone feel very welcome.
Battle ground martial art academy is an amazing gym! The coaches and staff are excellent! They help you reach your Fitness goal! They are very supportive! This gym has changed my life more than words can express! Everybody's friendly it's more like a family! I'm truly blessed to be around such amazing people at this gym!! If you are looking to change your life to better yourself, Battle ground martial art academy is the place to go!!
I've been training here for a little over a month now and it has been a phenomenal experience to say the least. The coaches are knowledgeable and the workouts are fulfilling. After a longtime of searching for a place to train, I can say I have found that place at BMA.
I joined BMA when they first opened and I couldn't be more happy! I was looking to get back into kickboxing, since I have previous experience, but also wanted a good workout and that is exactly what Jeremiah gave me. He's been so good at easing me back into the techniques that used to be second nature and teaching me new techniques I've never used before. Everyone at BMA is super encouraging and friendly too which makes going to work out so much fun! Love this place!
Battleground Martial Arts Academy (BMA) is a great gym for training both physical fitness and martial arts at an affordable rate. The equipment is clean and the environment is very friendly. The owners/proprietors are some of the very best people I have ever known. BMA is a great place for both beginners and advanced practitioners as BMA is home to several high-level martial arts instructors. Bjj peeps, if you want to get good, come train here. Bjj out-of-towners, come visit and train here.
Has been an amazing experience for my daughter! Instructors do a great job helping her learn and installing confidence. She is really blossoming in class. Can’t say enough good stuff amazing gym and super great people! Would highly recommend!
This establishment is amazing! I love the equipment they have available. The kid’s class is awesome, my son loves it! He’s been learning new techniques he never experienced with other martial arts classes. The people who run the gym treat you like family, not a customer. If you’re curious, check it out!
Everybody is very knowledgeable there and from the moment I first came to this gym I realize that I didn’t feel like it was just a normal gym. I felt like I was going to a family gym where they would hold me accountable every single day and I’m honestly starting to feel some of the results already I’ve also got plenty of compliments from other people saying about how your physique is gotten so much better over the last two months. Thank you Nathan for opening this gem and inviting us into your home.
This place is a second home to me. The best training in town! Very great atmosphere with great and respectful students. The talent of the instructors is next level, and have grown a lot in the short time I have trained here. The place is clean and very accepting. Sometimes gyms can have a lot of cliques which can be hard for new people to feel at home, that is not the case here. Get in here!
Very disappointed to learn that this martial arts academy is discriminatory and not inclusive. Be mindful before signing your kiddos up of the type of folks "teaching" them things.
