When I was out in Latrobe for a week working, I stopped in to pay a visit at Ground Zero. Jeremy was a great guy very hospitable. I went to the striking Yogi and classes. All were exemplary with a very friendly and open attitude.

This place is a vibe for sure. I had a great time stopping in, they treated me like I was one of their own and everyone was really kind. The owner and instructor were cool, definitely a great place to train. :)

Gotta come here if you live in the Greensburg/Latrobe area! Went today for a trial/drop in class since I am home for thanksgiving. Everyone was incredibly kind and instruction was great. Had a few great rolls as well. Also the facilities were incredibly clean. Great place!

I was traveling from out of town and needed a place to train. Everyone at Ground Zero was very welcoming and willing to help out in every way. Great gym and great people. I will definitely come back next time I’m in town.

This is the best place to learn different styles of martial arts regardless of your experience level. I really enjoy the boxing, kick boxing, wrestling, and jujitsu classes. In addition, coach Jeremy makes sure to keep everyone engaged with different exercises and helpful advice each session. Check it out you will love it!

Wonderful family environment. Very knowledgeable coaches. I have seen an increase in technique in all the forms taught. I have also seen an increase physical performance (i.e. cardio and muscular strength and endurance).

We absolutely love this gym. Our daughter does MMA and it's very clean, safe, and has amazing coaches. The owner is very personable and great with children. Professional in how they treat people and conduct themselves and their business. I feel apart of a new family. I recommend them 100%.

I have been going to Ground Zero Pittsburgh for 3.5 years and have absolutely loved it from day one! I recommend it highly to anyone looking for a great workout and to learn something that is not only great for health, but for self confidence! The coaches are wonderful and the atmosphere is like family.

This is a great well rounded gym. They offer so many different types of classes. The coaches are amazing and my daughter has excelled beyond what we ever imagined. As a 16 year old who has only been training with them for less than a year, she beat adult women in her 1st tournament from other gyms who have been at it for years. Ground zero is phenomenal!

Both myself and my oldest train here. Ground Zero is a great well rounded gym overall with a no BS atmosphere that has the tools for self defense growth in multiple areas. They've been taking the Covid-19 protocols seriously and shutting the gym down even when a case occurs for cleaning. There was no outbreak (2 cases isn't an outbreak) as previously stated and no such person as Pete Niece attended this gym. It is a shame to see other academies in the area posting pseudo reviews for their own benefit.

This is the best gym I’ve ever joined…GZ coaches are so knowledgeable and their willingness to train and help you improve is phenomenal. Great environment to learn for all ages. From day one they make you feel welcomed and part of the family.

This is a great place to learn. It truly is a family atmosphere. I wrestled under many good coaches but I can’t say enough about the talent GZ’s coaches have and the willingness to teach. They really take pride in helping you improve.

I was worried about training again after a laundry list of past health problems. But they were welcoming and understanding! Definitely a top tier gym with alot of knowledge and know how. Wouldn't train anywhere else.

Ground Zero Pittsburgh was where I began my jiu jitsu journey, and they're one of the big reasons I'm still practicing. It's a great gym with a great family atmosphere. I moved out of state a couple years ago, but still keep in touch with the friends I made there. That says a lot. If you're looking to learn boxing, kickboxing or jiu jitsu, you really can't go wrong with this knowledgeable, top-tier group of people. Stop by and get training.

This is one of the best gyms I know of. I started my son here years ago and he has thrived as a young man. The coaches are phenomenal. I would recommend this to any parent or person looking to be apart of a great environment. The coaches go above and beyond.

This gym is fantastic! Owner and coaches want to help you for your own martial arts journey whether it’s learning, competing, or just exercise. One of the best gyms I’ve been involved with.

My oldest son and I joined the gym when it opened October 2017 and began attending the kickboxing classes and have loved it from day one! Since then, my younger two boys were in Lil’ Brutes and I’ve also began jiu jitsu and can’t praise this gym enough for the camaraderie amongst everyone and strong coaching staff. Coaches and students have come and gone but what remains consistent is the atmosphere welcoming everyone, regardless of experience level. Some gyms tend to have a pretentious vibe, pretentious owners but Ground Zero Pittsburgh welcomes all and treats everyone like family.

Amazing school. From the first contact to know more information about the place I could already tell that I was dealing with great people and it's even better once you meet everybody in person. Very welcoming environment and even as a new student you feel like you're part of the team.

I was very curious and interested in Brazilian Jiujitsu, I have a friend in York that introduced me to the sport gave me some of the ins and out of what to expect and what to look for in a good gym. #1 Cleanliness #2 having a positive family like atmosphere and #3 knowledgeable instructors Ground Zero Pittsburgh has an abundance of that! The facility is always clean, comfortable, and even a little section for the kiddos. You feel welcomed from day one, they make it so easy for you to try it out without any guilt trips or intimidation to become a member or if it’s not your thing, they understand that too, at least you tried something new! You’re not just a number, or a monthly gym fee at this place, it is 100% a family and home away from home. No one is singled out because they’re new or just starting their fitness journey. The owner and instructors strive for a welcoming feeling for all their members. I tried a few gyms before finding GZP and it was a night and day difference in a positive way lol This is a forever gym in my opinion!

I love Ground Zero. From the first moment I walked in and took a class, I felt at home. The Ladies Only cardio kickboxing class Quik Kix is one fantastic and fun class! Every session is different!

Besides not having enough time, and moving to Myrtle Beach this place is definitely missed in my book. You cannot ask for better coaches. Fridge, Alex, Joe, and Dave are hands down the best in the area. This place is good for children, women and men. For my short time there I have seen teens with zero self esteem being built up to the great young adults. This isn’t the big meathead gym that’s looking to knock you out or choke you out. These guys are here to teach a great skill and care about you. I have been to other gyms in the area, where the owner/coach doesn’t even know your name. For them it’s all about the money. Give Ground Zero Pittsburgh a shot, it will be well worth it.

Walked in and walked out, read the business reviews. Owner posted about someones felonious past? (NOT LEGAL & petty AF) From what i experienced, not impressive at all. Then again, im not looking for a "child friendly" atmosphere. Im looking for some actual facilities. Or an employee who does not blast private information online. 🤔
