I’m an American on a working travel visa and was looking for a good gym to drop into. Ryan hooked me up and was super inviting. Alberto was also very inviting and helpful with details. Recommend for locals and travelers 🙌
Training at Osmosis has been an incredible experience. The instruction is top notch-clear, detailed and always delivered with patience and encouragement. Ryan is a fantastic coach, not just in skill but but also in creating a welcoming and respectful environment. As a woman, I really appreciate how mindful everyone is about size and strength differences. The culture at Osmosis can only be described as as uplifting, respectful, and seriously addictive. It’s the kind of place where everyone supports each other, there’s no ego, and you’re always learning—not just techniques, but how to trust your training partners, bounce back after tough rolls, and have a good laugh even when you’re getting totally outmatched. I always leave class feeling more confident, challenged, and part of a real community!!
Starting my BJJ journey at Osmosis was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I first joined when they introduced women‑only classes, and since my partner had already been training there since the start, I decided to give it a try. I haven’t regretted it for a single moment. From day one, the team was incredibly welcoming. They make you feel comfortable no matter your age, size, or background, and that supportive environment helped my confidence grow quickly. After a couple of months, I felt ready to join the fundamentals classes and eventually the mixed classes too. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. Their teaching style strikes the perfect balance between technical guidance and encouragement, creating an ideal place to train and grow. Osmosis is truly a gym where you feel supported, challenged, and part of a community.
Wicked gym, despite getting rolled by Wink. Great session in general. 5/5
Came for an intro class, really welcoming team, amazing coaching looking forward to continuing don’t be shy to come on your own as a woman they will make you feel welcome and safe!
Training at Osmosis BJJ with Ryan has been an incredible experience. Ryan is an outstanding coach—knowledgeable, approachable, and deeply committed to his students' progress. He breaks down techniques clearly, encourages questions, and fosters an inclusive, ego-free environment where everyone feels welcome. Whether you're new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or looking to sharpen your skills, this is the place to be. The community is friendly and supportive, and the vibe on the mats is always positive and respectful. Highly recommend Osmosis BJJ for anyone in Auckland looking for top-tier training and a great team culture
Best Jiu Jitsu gym. Couldnt ask more from the instructors. Classes are well structured, informative and always fun. No egos in this team, everyone is friendly and the place feels like a second home. Wouldn't want to train anywhere else. Highly recommend
I've been training with Ryan for sometime now, when I learned he was starting Osmosis I was really excited to train under him. He is very knowledgeable and explains things very well. He has passed on these good traits to the other instructors too. The crew that go are great and friendly and the more experienced members are always willing to help with advice and showing how things should be done. Highly recommended.
