I highly recommend Lu Strength & Therapy. It's an incredible facility with a great range of strength training equipment that is put to good use by a talented, knowledgeable, and friendly team of providers who are also incredibly active in a number of sports. I had also wanted to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for years, but with several previous injuries, was hesitant. However, I decided to give the beginner program a try; one of the selling points for me was knowing most of the team are also practitioners. I have been impressed with the carefully designed curriculum and a great group of students they have cultivated - everyone is careful with each other, but also train sincerely. Truly, one of the most unique locations for BJJ, strength training and conditioning, and also prehab/assessment/rehab needs, all under one roof!
Really enjoying BJJ classes at Lu Strength! James is a great coach. He is supportive, attentive and always helping me discover my own strength. The welcoming community he’s built has made it easy to feel comfortable as a beginner. Highly recommend!
Had a great experience working with James and his team! They're super knowledgeable, take the time to understand what’s going on, and explain everything clearly. I also really appreciate that they understand the demands of BJJ and tailor the treatment around getting me back to training and feeling good. Would definitely recommend James and the team to anyone looking for a great physio!
Amazing service, timely, and very friendly. Super helpful rehab exercises and timeline for recovery. Could not recommend enough!
Had a really good experience at Lu Strength BJJ. Everyone was super welcoming and friendly, especially as a beginner, the coaches are very knowledgeable and actually take the time to explain things without making you feel lost. Everyone I trained with was really nice and went at my pace, which made it really easy to get comfortable. Definitely a great place for anyone looking to start BJJ, regardless of experience level. Would definitely recommend!
I have trained at a few different gyms, so I came in with a pretty good idea of what I like in a BJJ Gym. I really enjoyed training at Lu Strength. The culture stood out right away. Everyone was welcoming, respectful, and easy to train with, but the room still had a good level of intensity. I also really liked the training style and how the classes were structured. The coaching was a big positive for me as well. The instruction was detailed without being overcomplicated, and you can tell there’s a lot of thought behind how techniques are taught and how people are expected to train. It feels like it's a place where you can train hard, learn, and still take care of your body long term. Definitely a gym I’d recommend to both newer people and experienced practitioners looking for a good room and a solid group of people to train with.
I had a great experience at Lu Strength & Therapy. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my recovery. They took the time to explain everything clearly and created a treatment plan that was tailored to my needs. The clinic has a welcoming atmosphere, and I always felt supported throughout my appointments. I highly recommend James or anyone of his practitioners as his team provides high-quality treatment and excellent patient care. Look forward to continue working with James and his team in the future!
James and team are amazing coaches. From sports physio, recovery to BJJ. Good for beginners and learned professionals to work on their workout styles. They have options of individual and group training (up to15 people) giving attention to every single individual for the BJJ training.
Lu Strength is a great place to start Jiu Jitsu, especially for beginners. I came here because I heard they were very beginner-friendly, and that proved to be absolutely true. The head coach is very knowledgeable, attentive, and also offers physiotherapy which makes it even more unique. During class, the coach was very informative and paid close attention to each student. They were patient in breaking down every step and made sure everyone understood the techniques before moving on. The environment felt welcoming, supportive, and encouraging for anyone new to Jiu Jitsu. I feel that these are great character qualities that I can trust to be my physiotherapist as well. I would highly recommend Lu Strength to anyone looking for a great physiotherapist and a beginner-friendly place to get into the world of Jiu Jitsu.
