    The instructor is very encouraging and motivating. I have noticed tremendous results after only 1 month. Dania has made me fall in love with the gym and I truly look forward to every session. The workouts are intense and difficult but Dania manages to make the experience amazing. Clean gym, very spacious. Trainer gives attention to every single person and was a great asset to helping me achieve my goals at the gym. I love this gym and will continue to attend regularly. I recommend signing up for the all women’s gym because it is truly an uplifting and empowering experience.

    If you’re looking for a BJJ gym Arctic is the place to train! Arctic offers a Super friendly environment for all ages and skill levels!! Alex, Dania, Angelo, Rudy, and Mike are all very knowledgeable coaches that will help you develop and get better after every class!!! Walking into a gym for the first time can be super nerve racking but the genuinely kind people at Arctic will make you feel comfortable and at home at day 1!! You won’t regret training at Arctic!!!

    Of the several things I am committed to in my life, having the pleasure of training at Arctic Training Center is amongst my most valued commitments. The facility itself has everything you need and more, the coaches possess years of high caliber experience and deliver instruction that stimulates development towards your goals. I give my highest recommendation to anyone interested in joining the Wolf Pack.

Dania is an excellent trainer and helps you learn all different ways to keep your body motivated and healthy! I have been at all different kinds of gyms and this is by far the best workout I have done in my entire life! It’s hard but she also makes it fun!!!! And this is exactly what I need!!!!!

    I love the women’s Ramadan camp, especially the rotation of workouts. Additionally, I like that each workout is versatile and just as intense as the previous one. The trainers are amazing; they are always available to support me if needed. Most of all, I feel great after every workout. I highly recommend this place. You will not regret it!

    Hands down the best martial arts training in the area. The kids program is top notch. Discipline respect and technique are taught here. No coddling. It's been such a positive experience for my son. I've been so inspired by what I've seen that I've joined the adult classes. The owners and the instructors are doing what they love and it shows.

    I have been to many gyms before Arctic, and Arctic by far and away is the best. They offer a unique family environment and excellent coaching/mentorship in their kids, youth, and adult programs. They also have unique women's only fitness and BJJ programs that my wife has been enjoying for several months now. I would highly recommend for all ages.

    The environment is fun, structured, and respectful. Coaches Alex and Dania, along with Coach Angelo provide elite level technical instruction and focus on the details. Their scheduling provides a wide array of ways people from different walks of life can find the opportunity to get their training in. Top it all off, the kids classes are run efficient with nearly a handful of coaches making the student to coach ratio favorable for the child's learning environment. The prices are also favorable in comparison to most BJJ academies in the area. HIGH RECOMMEND!

    If you live in the southwest suburbs of Chicago and looking for a family oriented, clean, well-managed, and well maintained fitness facility for you and your kids, then Arctic training center is the place to be! My kids love coming to train with professional coaches during Jiu jitsu, and I especially look forward to training hard and meeting my fitness goals during the all women’s workout program customized to strengthen your mind and body! I highly recommend!

    Arctic Training Center is a great gym!! Dania is super nice and takes an interest in you no matter what fitness level you’re at. I really like how she gives me tips and tricks to get the most out of every workout. I’ve been going for a little bit and am already seeing a big change in my energy levels and body. It’s great! Hands down, best choice I’ve made training at Arctic Training Center. look forward to walking through the doors and always feel amazing when I leave.

    This is a great gym for anyone looking to learn or continue their training in BJJ. Gym is clean and well maintained, has very skilled and helpful coaches, and is welcoming to all experience levels. Above all this gym has a great community of BJJ practitioners that look to motivate and help each other improve their skill level.

    Where do I start… this gym is what I think about when I think of the perfect gym. I was looking for a place that offered ALL WOMEN classes. This hidden gem has the best trainers. Dania and Emily definitely know how to train you and get results! The energy and knowledge that you get from the trainers here, they are eager to help and will to take time with you. Also they understand what you are striving for and they WILL get you there and further, while having fun. The classes are intense for every level athlete, and you will love the diverse workout combinations. Definitely recommended

    Gym has friendly staff and is very clean! They make it a point to clean all the equipment between every class. I enjoy working out in Dania’s classes. She is one of the few classroom setting trainers that will take the time to walk around and correct your form. She is very attentive and asks if you’re doing ok during work outs. Dania will push you and motivate you to work hard for results!

    I have Been here for a year and a half and I can say the coaches truly care about their students, program and facility. Coach Dania, Alex ,Khalid,rudy and Angelo do a great job. My daughter and son are also in the little wolves class and there are always plenty of coaches watching all the kids. The facility is extremely clean and the staff is organized. Look no further if you are interested in Brazilian jiujitsu, striking , youth programs or women’s only programs. The prices are extremely reasonable .

    If you’re looking to get in shape at a pace that’s right for you, the Arctic Womens classes are amazing. All of the instructors are motivating, fun, and have great expertise. I joined for the Ramadan fitness camp from being pretty much sedentary, and I feel great!

    My son is in the youth jiujitsu program and loves it! It really is helping build his confidence! I also workout in the women’s only classes and love the guided workouts and kick boxing we do. All the trainers are motivating and encouraging and it’s never intimidating. Great place to be!

    Love ATC! I’m not a social person at all but Dania makes you feel comfortable in a room full of strangers and before you know it you’re part of the community. She always keeps pushing you. Doesn’t let up. Pushes you to surpass your limits! Been few weeks and feel the difference already. Can’t wait to see in the upcoming months.

    Just wanted to take a moment and give a special thanks to ALL the amazing trainers and staff at Arctic Training Center for all their dedication and hard work to make the most of each class for us during this last camp. The facility is always clean, trainers and staff are welcoming and classes are enjoyable! Special thanks to Dania & Emily for the constant words of encouragement and for taking extra time to show new skills and techniques for the long run. Sincerely appreciated you all for always empowering women to strive to make the impossible a possibility! Angelo my guy : ) it was nice randomly running into you…I know you’re doing what you do best! Thanks again for a great camp!

    PLEASE READ: I have been Training with Alex, Rudy, Dania, and Angelo for about 4 months a ATC now. I just want to say (I have trained all over Chicagoland, and other states) and Arctic is hands down the best gym in the area! Alex Seaver completely refined my game, his teaching is bar none the best ! in the short time I have been there he has taught me lessons that will mold my game forever. The kids program is hands down the best in the area, and they have incorporated Judo classes (Coach Angelo is a black belt in judo) and Striking classes. Not only did they welcome me with open arms but also are make sure everyone feels welcome not matter age, belt, experience, etc. If you are thinking about training here PLEASE sign up, this is the place you need to be!

    I've been to many all women's gyms/centers. Artic by far has the most intense workouts out there. If you want to get in shape and challenge yourself this is the place to be! Husband and son does BJJ- an intimidating sport/art but they make you feel so inclusive and part of the pack right away. It's done wonders for my son's confidence and skills. Can't wait until the baby is old enough (3yrs) to join the wolf pack.

    Been training with the Seavers for almost 5 years. The dedication they put into their students, classes, facility etc ever continues to grow stronger. Not only Arctic has top notch coaches but the teammates I’ve met through here are one of the best communities you can get to know and involved in. Give ‘em a shot if you so please ;)

    If you’re looking to start your fitness journey ATC is the place to be! The gym has a variety of classes such as Jiujitsu, Striking, Women’s Only, and Youth classes! Everybody is very welcoming from staff to members, and the gym is clean! The coaches are very passionate about what they do and helping their students thrive! I love training here where it’s always good vibes and good people 🙂

    5 Stars! I can’t say enough good things about this gym, but I’m sure going to try in this review. When I first started training with Alex, I was a short, balding, sorry excuse of a man. My Mom would ask every day “Little Colin, when are you moving out?!” It has been through the teachings of Alex and my commitment to Pajama Battling, that I have since moved out of my mother’s basement, found a job as a Taco Bell Security Guard, started growing hair on top of my head, and I’ve grown 7 inches. I owe all of this to Alex, and Dania gets some credit too. If you’re looking to improve your confidence and get in a good workout, this is the gym for you!

    If you want a great work out that’s a lot of fun you have to join the women’s only classes. Dania is an amazing trainer and coach. Not only do you work out every muscle in your body, but you laugh and have fun while you’re doing it. The one hour class goes by so fast and there is no way you will leave without breaking a sweat and feeling energized and refreshed! I highly recommend Arctic training Center. There are different varieties of classes for different age groups as well! Try it out! You won’t regret it! This is my second month joining and not only do I feel more energized and healthy, but I am also in a better mood. I look forward to going every evening! Thank you Dania! You’re the best!

    My husband and I were looking for a good gym for our 2 boys for quite some time. We came to Arctic after bouncing from gym to gym and they offered us a one week free trial. It took us just a day or two to realize this was the one! My boys have been in their Jiu Jitsu program for 6 months now and I can honestly say this gym is the best! The coaches are amazing, their tough when they need to be and can still make it a fun place for the kids to practice!! I highly recommend this gym !

    I join the women’s class and my son, the kid’s class when were in town visiting. The facility is clean, the staff is professional, and the members are welcoming. The classes are very well structured and effective. (I use a heart rate monitor and burn so many calories in the hour class). My son loved it so much, he joined a BJJ gym at home so he can continue to learn & roll. Dania and Alex are so amazing and really care about their memebr’s well being, health and growth. They extend their support and encouragement. They truly are rock star coaches! I would strongly recommend Arctic Training to anyone! You’ll become part of a great family! You won’t regret it.

    Best gym experience I’ve ever had! I attend the women’s only classes and trainer Dania is very attentive to each individual’s needs no matter what fitness level you’re at. I’ve never tried kick boxing before but Dania teaches you all you need to know to succeed. I joined less than 2 months ago and already feel stronger and more toned. The overall workout experience is fun and challenging! Gym is always clean and the music always hypes you up! Highly recommend!

    My kids have been training here and all I can say is all the coaches at Arctic Training Center are the best! Dania and Alex put allot of time and effort into their craft. They are very dedicated to all the students and do a amazing job coaching, the kids have fun but also learn a very useful skill that will benefit them throughout their lives. I Would definitely recommend this gym to anyone regardless of age or skill level.

    I have been going to ATC for almost 3 months now and I am OBSESSED with the idea of going to workout now. I’ve never had such great communication, service, attention, and care as a member of a gym as much as I’ve had at Arctic. The woman’s only classes with Dania are awesome. The positive and motivating energy, well instructed workouts, the variety of workouts on the daily, and the well kept and sanitized equipment/area. 1000/10 would recommend!

    I absolutely love training at Arctic Training Center. The instructors are knowledgeable and passionate about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and the facilities are top-notch. I always feel challenged and motivated during class, and the sense of community among my fellow training partners is amazing. I truly look forward to every training session and highly recommend Arctic Training Center to anyone looking to improve their skills and have fun doing it!

  • 4/5 Mike J. 9 months ago on Google
    I went to the Carlson Gracie Jr. Seminar at ATC and it was incredible. The instructors and facility are amazing and offer a great environment to learn jiu jitsu. It has a wide variety of students and classes that anyone can appreciate. Great location and overall fantastic experience. Would recommend to anyone wanting to compete or learn a martial art

  • 5/5 Matt A. 6 months ago on Google
    I started training with Alex and Dania in July 2021. Coming from another school that closed after being there almost 10 years, I felt lost without a home base . Thankfully Alex, Dania and the rest of the wolf pack welcomed me in with open guards 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 arms I mean open arms. This is a great team with deep rooted knowledge and top quality professionalism. Arctic is equipped for all ages having a full adult and kids program even a women's only program! If you’re looking for a new home base or even a good open mat. Look no further. ❤️🐺🥋

  • 5/5 Rudyna A. 6 months ago on Google
    I took a carry and conceal class and the instructor was extremely patient with all of us! He answered all the questions we had and was very knowledgeable! Dania was there helping us as well and she's the sweetest person you'll ever meet! I highly recommend Arctic!

  • 5/5 Bryn 7 months ago on Google
    Structured yet free flowing gym. The atmosphere in regards to the instructors and students is encouraging, to say the least. Instructor Seaver(s) and their team have cultivated an environment that allows comprehensive progress at a rate thay may surprise you. White belts to Black belts alike are beyond interested in seeing the improvement of anyone who takes their Mma/Bjj classes. Also very competitively priced.

  • 5/5 George D. 8 months ago on Google
    The one thing I feel that truly sets Arctic apart from other gyms is how rapidly students progress in Jiujitsu. I have been at Arctic for a few years now and consistently see new people coming through the doors and next thing you know they are demonstrating a sound grasp of BJJ. It is easy to see Arctic has a great faculty and pays close attention to keeping it clean, there is also a tremendous amount of classes to fit anybody’s schedule. However, what separates Arctic from other gyms is where the pavement meets the road, and what I mean by that is the performance of its members, and how they excel at the sport. The gym has a culture that is hard to articulate but is dedicated to quality Jiujitsu in a positive team atmosphere . The culture is sustained by top rate instructors who truly have a love for jujitsu and a team that wants to see you grown and succeed!!!!
