I love this gym. I started by attending their open mats on Sundays. The rolls and people in attendance were always next level. I've recently addended their women's only, 301 competition and wrestling classes. I really enjoy the teaching style and all the coaches. I feel safe while training there and look forward to continuing my progress at Jay Pages.
Posted 4 months agoJay Pages is hands down the best BJJ gym in the valley. It’s a great community and everyone is really there to help you grow! Shout out to the 5 am open mat crew, and all the 6 am class training partners! As one with limited time, I appreciate the schedule so much for how many choices there are!
Posted 4 months agoMy son attended this gym for a short time last year. We decided to switch gyms for a few reasons. One of those being that we felt as though the teachers/coaches tended to group the children, of all ages, into the same class and teach them the same thing. We felt as though this doesn't really work with our 5/6 year old, as he was being taught the same thing, in the same way, as the 12, 14, 16 year olds in the class. They also didn't make the learning fun for them (in our opinion), and we saw our son struggling to follow along as he was a beginner and they weren't teaching him as though he was. They'd use terms he wasn't familiar with and expect him to just know what it meant. We found ourselves feeling the need to shout out to him an explanation of whatever the coach had directed him to do. The other, more minor but still significant, reason is they let it get extremely hot in their gym. Especially during the summer. I'm not sure how children can be expected to learn and perform their best in such a hot and humid environment. It's probably fine (although uncomfortable) for grown adults, but I don't think it's good for kids. Even I was struggling to focus on the coaches because of how hot and uncomfortable I was. They do have large (very loud) fans, but they don't cool it down enough. Those fans also make it incredibly difficult for my son to hear what the coach was saying. I'm giving more stars than I normally would, only because I can see how the gym is beneficial for older children and adults. My husband also trained there for a short time, and he had a decent time there and felt like he was taught basic things. I just don't believe this gym is right for young children. We found another place that is wonderful for young kids and teaches them in a fun and easy way for them to understand.
Posted 3 months agoI can't give this place enough stars. I started BJJ a little over a year ago and I had tried out 4 other gyms before deciding this was where to start my Jiu Jitsu journey. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. The coaching is top tier and it shows through all the athlete and team titles/championships. I can't say enough about Jay and his staff. Whether you are just starting out or a veteran in the game, the Jay Pages family is there to help you reach and surpass your goals.
Posted 4 months agoGreat people, great gym, huge space! Jay’s an excellent instructor, and the schedule has a ton of options to accommodate busy professionals. The mats are always clean, there’s a ton of mat space available, and there’s a gym if you want to get a lift in as well.
