Excellent and very thorough training with Professor Dante!! Overall the place was very clean and organized, scheduling was very easy and thorough. I was very engaged in class and it made learning fun!
The most supportive, motivating and instructional environment for my 15 yr old, who is learning life lessons along with Jiu Jitsu at Fit Club Jiu Jitsu.
After being away from the mats for over 3 years, I was rusty and way out of shape. I tried a few places before Fit Club and none felt right. First class I walked in, everyone was great and welcoming. If you are looking to start training or get back into it, this is the place.
I've been a member of Fit Club BJJ since I was 7 years old. After taking a 4-year break, I recently returned and was welcomed back as if I'd only been away for a week. The community here is truly a family; the people are wonderful and incredibly supportive.
The technique and training at Fit Club BJJ are unmatched. The coaches are highly skilled and dedicated to helping everyone improve, whether you're training for competition or just want to learn for fun or self-defense. The location is fantastic, with a lounge upstairs that provides a great place to relax and socialize.
One of the standout aspects of Fit Club BJJ is the support system. The members and coaches help me prepare for competitions and even come out to support me when I compete. The environment is great for all ages and skill levels, making it perfect whether you want to compete or simply want to learn.
Fit Club BJJ is also an excellent choice for women. The high-level women's training is both rigorous and supportive, and the female members are incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend Fit Club BJJ to anyone looking for top-notch training, a supportive community, and a great place to learn and grow.
Great facilities, friendly and knowledgeable staff. A place for the whole family that will teach you self defense or get you competition ready depending on your goals.
Absolute best gym a person could hope for. Unmatched friendly culture with top talent—there were seven black belts on the mat tonight! Highly recommend. Sarah and Joe are as good as they come,
Fit Club is fantastic! My daughter and I started together brand new in April, everyone was so welcoming, helpful, knowledgeable and patient! Absolutely recommend coming and getting started!
It’s hard to find a gym that has it all. Fit club jiu jitsu is that place. The community, curriculum and training is unmatched. There is no ego in this gym just a group of really awesome people who all want to work hard and have fun.
Greatest family gym ever! I didn't start BJJ until my mid 30s, and nearly a decade later, my whole family does it and loves it. Joe and Sarah are the best, and the instructors are consummate professionals.
If you want the highest level Jiu Jitsu in CT, this is the place to be. Unmatched environment, attentive coaches, helping everyone work towards their goals!
The family atmosphere combine with the top notch second to none instructors is why I have been a member for more than 12 years. Joe and Sarah are the best! Love them and Fit Club.
Fit Club BJJ is my home away from home! Everyone at Fit Club is family and I'm so glad I found this place!! It's right downtown Fairfield so it's so easy to get to and convenient. Highly recommend
The coaching staff is fantastic. They are patient and helped my sometimes shy child get on the mats. As someone who has been in many academies over the years I am super impressed with the
program here. If you live in Fairfield, definitely check them out
Fitclub has welcomed me with open arms and provided me with some new challenges I had experienced at other gyms. Joe is an amazing coach that really values personal connections with his students and attention to detail overall. I live a couple towns away but knowing the experience I have at fitclub makes the trips worth it. Pricing is very reasonable and the community has been great so far. Check this gym out!
The best gym ever! Coach Joe and Sarah are beyond incredible and forever family. Whether you’re a competitor looking for high level training or just looking to try BJJ and get in shape, this gym has it all. Fantastic location, people, and management make this place the best gym around. Don’t be afraid and come join us!
15 years of grappling experience, this gym is my favorite. An A-team of professors with great competition experience, excellent team based training, and family like compassion.
Amazing location, half a block walk from the Fairfield Train station.
I can’t rate my experience at Fit Club Jiu Jitsu highly enough! The quality of coaches is exceptional, and the head coach, Joe, takes time with each student to tailor his BJJ advice to one’s age, athleticism, skill levels, general abilities, and goals (e.g., to compete or to just train as a hobby). There are several students at each belt level, so no matter your skill level, you’ll find training partners that will push you and help you to improve. Joe is a top tier black belt who has competed and won at the highest levels of BJJ. He has a breadth and depth of knowledge that takes a lifetime to acquire and has even trained elite UFC fighters. In a matter of classes, I was able to take my Jiu Jitsu to the next level under Joe.
The family environment is second to none, as Joe develops personal, warm, fun, and friendly relationships with each student. You get the sense that he truly cares for your well being and he checks up with you every class. If you’re looking for top tier coaching, several students at your skill level, and an enjoyable, fun, and friendly environment, Fit Club Jiu Jitsu is the place for you!
This place means business. Serious competent patient experienced instructors. Incredible pedigree. Would train and have drink with these folks any day. Giddy up boys!
Great gym for all skill levels and ages- I love seeing how much fun the kids have in classes with Professor Joe and Maya. They are both caring and professional, and provide an incredibly high level of instruction for everyone
This is a well-run family business that is welcoming to everyone. Joe, Sarah & Company attracts people and families who want to train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a fun and safe environment. Many people who train here have come from other schools because of the great Vibe, welcoming people, and excellent instruction.
Not only is Fit Club BJJ great for Kids, but it is also fantastic for adults who want to stay fit, learn great art and have a lot of fun.
Joe and Sarah have created such a wonderful community for the kids. Our 6 year old son has a LOT of energy, and Joe and the coaches are incredibly patient and kind. We are so grateful for this very special place!
I’ve been training here for about a year now, and I feel right at home! I’ve learned so much in such a short period of time! I competed for the first time and brought home a gold medal, which was very rewarding! Aside from the physical aspect, it’s very much therapy for me mentally! The Coaches are great, and there’s a ton of talent to roll with! I would highly recommend this Jiujitsu school to any one at any age and at any skill level!!!
Coach Joe has created a very welcoming environment in the gym. Everyone feels like family. Not to mention the level of skill there is on the mats at any given time!
Awesome place, awesome inviting atmosphere. Coach Joe is one of a kind. Other coaches are simply a blast and know how to teach at every level. Best Jiu-jitsu gym in the tri-state area for sure. I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to learn self-defense, train for Jiu Jitsu, or just keep the body active on a daily basis.
Words would not express enough the merits of Fit Club BJJ and the Oppedisano family. Joe (PROFESOR) is a great coach that has been developing and strengthening the Fairfield Sports community for over 15 years through Ju-Jitsu and martial arts. He is well known in the education system of Fairfield, and over the years has branded a great tradition of instilling true values of Ju-jitsu in the gym and community; Respect, Honor, Humility, Hard-work are the fundamentals that one learns in the classes of this club. My kids did and I get reminded of it every day (especially the humility part)!!! The club connects many walks of life in one spot to learn a Brazilian martial art from the best black belts in the sport. The diversity of the club members make a strong fabric for long lasting friendships and quality relationships, which can only be found in the Ju-jitsu community. All of it tied together through great coaching. I highly recommend this club. Learn from the best and join the ju-jitsu family!!
I have 3 children that started in February and absolutely love it! I have a 9 year old boy, 7 year old boy and 5 year old girl. All 3 have different personalities but have found a common activity to bond over. I can’t say enough good things about Coach Joe and Sarah!! The gym is family oriented and a very fun/welcoming atmosphere.
If you interested in learning jiu jitsu there is no better place in town. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or someone who has been training for years, Fitclub BJJ offers a welcoming environment. Professor Joe Oppedisano has created a fun culture for adults and kids.
Fitclub BJJ in fairfield just has the “it” factor that most places do not. Their BJJ is second to none, but the most important thing to me is the family atmosphere! Brother nookie monster
Fit Club BJJ is a completely amazing experience and community of great people. Everyone there treats each other as family. I would recommend this place to everyone at every level
I have my 9 year old daughter and 6 year old son enrolled here. I've known Coach Joe for over 28 years. I couldn't imagine anyone who I trust more to teach my children how to defend themselves, to be kind and respectful to everyone, and to build their confidence. Always amazed at how Coach Joe is able to control a class of 4-11 year olds that come in with so much energy. The kids have learned they can run around and have fun but when it's time to train they are ready and eager to learn. Strongly suggest coming down to check it out.
I can’t say enough about coach Joe. My son has trained and competed for coach Joe for over 4 years; however, when my son first started I was skeptical and almost took him out of class. At that time, a parent, that I trusted, said give it 6 months and you will see how coach Joe’s process works (physically and mentally). So I did and it was one of the best things I have done for my son. He is now better equipped to handle (physical and mental) situations and, more importantly, to help others that can’t help themselves. Every kid should be taking his classes.

This is an amazing place to learn and practice jiujitsu. My two sons started about 3 years ago. This year they competed in 7 tournaments and won 6 of them. More importantly though, coach Joe has created an environment that is fun and safe for all kids as they learn the sport. My wife and I recently started training too. The teaching and training we have received has been phenomenal, and safety continues to be a high priority. Today I would say that coach Joe and Sarah, as well as many of the other parents, coaches, and athletes have become like a second family to us. You will undoubtedly learn jiujitsu at the highest level here, but you will get a lot more than that too.
Absolutely love Coach Joe and the entire team. My daughter started to go to the club at age 3-4 years old to BJJ and she just absolutely loves it! My daughter was super shy and Coach Joe created a wonderful atmosphere and now my daughter is outgoing and has a lot of confidence. I love the life lessons Coach Joe teaches the kids. We really feel at home here and everyone is supportive. Thank You Coach Joe and Sarah for making us feel so welcomed!
My 4 year old son just started Jiu Jitsu training at Fit Club and he absolutely loves it. Joe does a great job keeping him engaged and focused. I give him 2 years until I have to start watching my back.
I have three children- a 10 yr old boy, 7 yr old girl and 5 yr old boy - all with very different athletic skills. They all take class at fit club and all love it. I am so happy to have an activity that they can all participate in together but more than that Fit Club has instantly become a home away from home. They are so incredibly welcoming and Coach Joe is such a special person. He really understands how to motivate kids and how to share his love for Jui-Jitsu. This place has been such a gift for our family. Run don’t walk to try a class.
Our family loves FIT Club BJJ, coach Joe & Sarah both are awesome to all the kids. You want your kids to be discipline, respect plus fun then you in the right place.
My kids are 9 and 11, and really needed a physical activity they could do together. They both started in Sept last year and ever since have enthusiastically gone twice a week. They come out sweating and in great spirits. Coach Joe is extraordinary in his ability to keep a room full of kids engaged, respectful and enthusiastic. Their progress is night and day since they started, from timid wall hugging to determined engagement. It's the only place I've seen all genders learn together and compete with each other, which is so healthy. Sarah is efficient and kind. A great family business, highly recommend.
We love fit club BJJ!! Our boys have been training here for 3 years and we just started the adult classes. Coach Joe is amazing with the kids and our boys have made some lifelong friends ❤️. Hands down the best BJJ in the area!
