    Watch before you sign anything with them. Their front desk 'Manger' would give tall tales on how flexible the membership is and would tell you it can be cancelled anytime. Later they will introduce another Manager who comes in during cancellation and say our contracts mentions long term one & it can be only cancelled after paying cancellation fees. Long story short, you would have to pay hefty amounts as cancellation. Lesson learnt, gym or insurance always read your contract, dont rely on trust or face value(especially if you get to see different Manager).✌️

    I would stay away from this gym, there are reasons why many 1 star ratings are liked and found helpful. Similar to other reviews, I also did not feel comfortable with overly aggressive sales speech of "you need to commit and pay for the full year or else". From the start when I called in and they were hiding the prices it seemed a bit sketchy but went in for a free trial class and as expected was forced to pay afterwards for borrowing equipment as I did not agree to sign up at that moment. I do not see why you need to hide the price on the website if you are insisting the prices are affordable... The attitude and the mindset of the guy trying to sell memberships simply comes across as a con artist trying gaslight potential customers. Upon reading other reviews, I am glad I did not provide my payment information to a disorganized and unprofessional organization.

    Took advantage of the promotion of a free class over the summer. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth when I was told I’d need to purchase boxing gloves and wraps before my first class and they had no loners to offer me to use for the one class. This was not communicated to me until I showed up for class. Ultimately I did make the purchase, but the equipment was definitely overpriced. At class time, the instructor was told I was a first timer and they paid a little more attention to me, but hardly any coaching/feedback was given to me on my technique. If you are strong/athletic enough to keep up with their classes and require little to no coaching, then these big group classes would be the right fit for you. For beginners, I’d strongly recommend going elsewhere. I now use the gloves and wraps I purchased at a different kickboxing gym.

    I now see why the 1 star reviews are so heavily liked. If you are a boxer/mma fighter looking to compete at any level I would stay away from this gym. Their prices are higher than most mma gyms in the GTA and they do not give monthly’s, so you’d think for the price you're paying and the long-term membership your committing to you will be able to get quality training, but yet it is far from that. The so-called “Advanced” boxing classes are dominantly made up of beginners with zero fight experience. A lot of the time you will be partnered with someone who cannot even hold pads correctly, forcing you to either train at a low pace (waste your time), or you’ll injure yourself. I injured my shoulder here multiple times because my partner could not even simply catch my punch with the hand-pads. After feeling frustrated about this countless times, I brought it up to one of the boxing coaches but still nothing changed. I was paying a maximum of what most mma gyms charge for unlimited access, but yet here I got limited visits, 0 sparring days, 0 padwork and on top of that I was told I am no longer allowed to even train on my own outside of the class, and am only allowed to attend class when coming to the gym. What a joke, in a situation like this you’d think the so-called “advanced” class is probably top-tier and worth it, but it couldn’t be further from that. Majority of the time I felt like I was wasting my time in the so-called “advanced” class. This gym also does not have sparring days, so that right there is a massive minus here if you plan on training to compete. If you value your time and money, there are many high level boxing/mma gyms in the GTA that will actually build you for competition and give you your money's worth from training in group classes with experienced fighters on a daily basis that you can learn from and get quality training/padwork/sparring with, unlike here. Response to owner’s reply: I asked for my membership to be terminated after being told that attending the gym in the day and/or outside of a class is prohibited (when already being disappointed with the quality of the class). Even then the manager was trying to persuade me to stay and follow through with the remaining time of my membership, but I was hesitant that I did not want to. I’m not sure why I was never told of this policy during orientation and sign-up or anytime within the 3 months of January/February/March (in which I only attended the gym to train outside of class), especially if it causes a “perpetual disturbance”. In fact I had even asked the manager once what time the gym opens so I can finish my workout earliest as possible, and even then he did not mention this policy to me. Had I been simply told of this policy during orientation I would not have chose to become a member, but telling me well after full payment was made, made me feel like I had been purely gaslighted. And the reasoning for the policy by the manger did not make any sense. He said to me, “would you let someone come your house whenever they want?”. 1. My house is not a gym, so that doesn’t make any sense 2. What an unprofessional explanation.

    Class and coach are great, but the only sad news is when you sign the membership, they calculate the whole year price and say you can pay a monthly basis as financing. The point is if you don't want to continue to membership, you have to pay the whole year amount without any advantage for you, and they didn't tell you at the first. This is ridiculous and means you are stuck in there. I really don't recommend people put themselves in this situation.

    This place is nothing but a scam! No free trial or nothing and on top they make their members sign year long contracts as they don't like to do things month to month since they know no one will continue! A fitness center at best and nowhere near being a real mma gym! Their kickboxing classes are a joke and they have all their classes at the same time with too many people so it's hard to learn! Changing rooms are also very tiny as well! Their head salesperson Chris seems very shady and when I forgot my things one time and called he refused to even check! They don't even have a water fountain as they are too cheap! Horrible place that I am grateful to be done with!

    I have been a member for a year where my daughter and I are Jiu Jitsu students. The teachers are patient, courteous and supportive. As beginners of this sport we always feel safe and challenged each class. I would recommend anyone who wants to try it out and see the facilities for themselves.

    I did not feel welcome with regard to their sales tour/pitch. I definitely did not feel comfortable making any financial commitment. The attitude at this gym feels off. Now that I'm reading other reviews my concerns seem valid. Good luck.

    I’ve had bad experiences at other places for trial lessons. Some places are unorganized. Others only care about signing you up. REVMMA is different. Administrative team is amazing, well organized and friendly. The facilities are clean and welcoming. Arthur and Joel are amazing instructors. They’re both very charismatic and great at creating a safe and fun environment for learning. It really help students feel like they are a part of a community.

    Talented staff of trainers that empower and challenge you to do your best (Julius and Charles you rock!!), and front desk employees that always make you feel welcomed. Two months ago, I was hesitant to commit to any workout facility - now I can't imagine my life without Muay Thai/Kickboxing at this place. Chris eased my tension during his walk through and challenged me to make a commitment - I am grateful to him because in two months, I have seen significant improvements in my self-confidence, physical strength and fitness, and I have even made a few new friends!

    This place is absolutely the worst came here before covid started and loved it. Until the trainer I was working named Alex the owner forced him out of the gym by the owner. I attended one class when they reopened and I felt that it was unsafe classes with too many people. Not spaced out properly and the trainers didn't seem to really care the new trainer didn't seem to know too much about boxing either. I don't feel safe being here I wanted to cancel my membership and they billed me my entire thing what a scam. They definitely will be hearing from my lawyer since they can't bill me my entire membership when I do not feel comfortable during covid especially when I know that they cancel other people's memberships without going on. The owner seems to play favorites well he can favor my lawyer LOL

    I've been to a lot MMA gyms, in Toronto, Ajax, Calgary, Regina etc because I travel quite a bit. Rev is probably one of the best MMA gyms out there. Professional, clean and just well ran. However cancelling after being there for two years was a bit of a hassle. Nuzlee guy kept trying to get me to pay for months after I moved. Kept asking for proof which I don't think it's any of his business.

    Initially I was in search of a martial arts school for my son, that is when I discovered REV MMA. Without any previous expectations, I soon learned that they have a very unique kids program called the Gracie “Bullyproof”. This program teaches children to stand up against bullies, being assertive, and establish control through the arts of Jiu Jitsu. Parents does not need to worry about their children eventually getting into fights in school and/or public by throwing punches and kicks. Jiu Jitsu teaches children the art of submission and compliance. I believe the most important lessons that the children will learn are developing self confidence and being courteous, not fighting! I also found REV MMA to be a family friendly environment. I also started to join the Jiu Jitsu and boxing classes. There are many like myself who join REV MMA with the purpose to help their child, but ended up joining the program too. The class schedules are very accommodating. For example, many parents would join a boxing class while their children are in the Jiu Jitsu class. REV MMA offers boxing, kickboxing (Muay Thai), Krav Maga, and Gracie Jiu Jitsu classes. When enrolled in the Gracie Jiu Jitsu program, your membership includes full access to Gracie University online, where students can review their lessons through videos and notes. If travelling, the membership also gives you access to train in other Gracie Certified Training Centres around the world, free of charge. For those that has limited flexibility with their schedule, REV MMA also offers private one-to-one lessons for all discipline with their highly qualified instructors. Based on my own experience, by the end of one-hour private lesson you will be amazed with how much you have learned and the great cardio exercise along with it. REV MMA contradicts the stereotype of martial arts school/dojo that new comers are intimidate and coerce by the senior students, which generally can be seen from various popular culture. On the contrary, at REV MMA everyone would clap and welcome new students on their first class. Instructors would even spend quality time to assist students to integrate into the class and senior/experiences students would be more than happy to work with new students. This is definitely the place to be for those seeking to learn martial arts, gaining strength, losing weight, and above all keeping a healthy mental and spiritual health.

    I have been attending this facility for around 4 years now and will continue to always be a member! The coaches are very well experienced. They make everyone feel welcome and you always leave the gym having learnt something new. I am currently training with Muay Thai coach Julius and I love the way he breaks down the techniques, and teaches us how to be efficient in our tools of Muay Thai. I am always excited to come train Monday and Wednesday evenings! This gym deserves all the credit for having me fall in love with martial arts and I can never stop recommending people to try it for themselves, it really is life changing!

    I usually train at another Gracie Jiu-Jitsu school but recently visited here to attend a class while traveling. Joel, his staff, and the students I met were all so welcoming and wonderful! Clean facilities, with locker rooms and showers. Such a great experience and I look forward to my next visit.

    Amazing staff, amazing instructors, and a great environment to work out in! Everyone is so friendly and the quality of the lessons are really high! I am very picky with martial arts gyms since it can be dangerous and the people in the classes can be very aggressive, but at REV MMA, safety was never an issue since the instructors were amazing and everyone in the classes were very respectful. It was honestly an honor to be a member of such a gym and will definitely return if I get the chance to!

    One of the greatest gyms in the city hands down. All of the staff are super friendly, great classes and the whole gym is very clean. The instructors, especially Jax are super passionate about what they do, and genuinely love to see their students learn more, which makes their classes feel like home. I can’t recommend this gym enough to anyone who wishes to give mma a chance

    I joined back in August 2019 specifically for kickboxing and never regretted this decision. REV coaches are very attentive to everyone, regardless of your experience level. I’m a beginner myself but I always feel safe and supported. At the same time I see the same coaches provide great training for advanced level students. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to try out MMA and isn’t sure where to begin! You’ll feel welcome from the get-go!

    I am a visiting student from another school. From the moment I entered REV MMA I received a very warm welcome, both from the instructor and the other students. Joel has an excellent eye for details and is clear and concise when teaching. He makes everyone feel welcome, supported and takes an interest in all his students. I had an excellent time and am looking forward to many more classes at Rev MMA. Thank you!

    Couldn’t recommend this gym enough, they make it so easy as a first timer to feel comfortable and safe practicing a wide variety of martial arts. Personally speaking the Gracie combative jiu jitsu program is astounding, patient instructors that take their time explaining techniques thoroughly. Having done many classes with Jax I’m always impressed by the level of enthusiasm, and excitement he brings to his classes and that really inspired me to stick with the program. Fantastic gym, even better people, Can’t say enough good things.

    I've been training at Rev for 6+ years and have had both my kids in the Munchkin program. World-class instruction, amazing (and clean!) facility and wonderful training partners. I can't recommend this place highly enough and drive past several other quality gyms to keep training here.

    Pros: I signed up for a two week trial and loved it. The instructors are great, knowledgable, supportive, and friendly. Great guys! I'd highly recommend this gym. Cons: Parking is a bit full and sometimes people don't know how to park. Mats could be a lot cleaner and should be cleaned more often.

    Been training BJJ at Rev for a year and I really enjoy it. Joel and Arthur are great instructors who take the time to explain technique and come around to assist. Classes are big enough to have a variety of training partners but not too big where you feel like you are just another face on the mats. The advanced class has a solid group of training partners who are respectful and want you to get better. Rev is a great gym and worth the commute no matter where you are travelling from.

  • 5/5 Jad B. 4 months ago on Google • 5 reviews

    Our experience at REVMMA was great. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the friendly staff. The facility is clean and spacious and the children’s classes are both fun and educational. They emphasize discipline, respect, and teamwork, instilling valuable life lessons along with martial arts techniques. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a top-notch jujitsu program for their child!

  • 5/5 Bernadette-Victoria G. 1 year ago on Google
    I like the gym it is clean and family friendly, BJJ instructors are amazing especially Mr. Joel Gerson. They made sure that it would be a great place to train SAFELY. Unfortunately i have to leave the gym due to medical reasons. i wanna give a shoutout to Chris ( with such a good customer service), they weren't just here to rip my money off. Thank you for your help 🙏.

  • 5/5 Christian T. 10 months ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of joining RevMMA, and it has been an incredible journey of self-discovery and growth. Chris, the welcoming face at the front desk, played a pivotal role in helping me choose the perfect mixed martial arts discipline that best suited my interests and goals. Chris's expertise and genuine interest in each individual's my aspirations were evident during our initial consultation. He took care and time to explain the various classes offered at RevMMA. The atmosphere at RevMMA is incredibly friendly and welcoming. No one hesitates to offer a helping hand or share tips to enhance our training experience. This sense of camaraderie is something truly special and sets RevMMA apart from other martial arts gyms I have considered. Special thanks to Coach Julius for his great mentoring. I recommend RevMMA to anyone interested in mixed martial arts and personal discipline. Ask to talk to Chris at the front desk and i'm sure he'll be as of much help to you as he was to me.

  • 5/5 Judith T. 1 year ago on Google
    My sister and I first joined Rev back in 2015 and renewed our membership this year too! We have such a fun time attending, it has a great atmosphere and community, and the coaches are so passionate to teach and help us learn! We absolutely love the classes, they're action-packed and pushes our body's limit in a healthy way. We have grown to be stronger and more energized from taking the Combat Fitness and Boxing classes 3 times a week! This is definitely the best choice we've made to become healthier and connect more with our community!

  • 5/5 Tilly P. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a fantastic place to learn. I started with the Gracie Beginner BJJ course at the start of the year being a bit nervous, but the instructors and the crew at the gym are great and I can't say enough good things about the place. It's been an absolute blast and I'm glad to see them growing every week

  • 5/5 Fred K. 10 months ago on Google
    A Gem in the Jiu-Jitsu World! Joining Rev MMA in December was the best decision I've made. As a beginner in martial arts, the Gracie Combative program, led by amazing instructors Joel and Arther, offers the perfect, structured learning path. It's unique in that every in-class lesson is paired with a video lesson, accelerating the learning process. Rev MMA's community is also a highlight. Every member I've met has been friendly and supportive, creating a wholly positive vibe that permeates throughout the club. The front desk team, especially Chris, have been incredibly helpful and accommodating, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Plus, they're the only Gracie Combative certified club in Toronto, which is a testament to their quality. If you're considering exploring Jiu-Jitsu, look no further. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not signing up at Rev MMA. It’s not just a Jiu-Jitsu club, it’s a transformative journey into a healthier, stronger, and more resilient version of yourself. I can't recommend it highly enough.

  • 5/5 Troy T. 2 years ago on Google
    A recent incident threatened the safety of my family. In our local pharmacy. On a Sunday afternoon. Completely unprovoked. Learning how to survive an attack and protect myself and my loved ones became a priority. The elite level of instructions from each coach. The community of trust and respect from every classmate. The outstanding attention and support in private sessions. The growing confidence. All reasons why Revmma is the best of the best. 5 stars plus!

  • 5/5 Marius C. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down, this is the best MMA Gym facility in GTA with amazing skilled coaches that are warm and patient when teaching and fair when assessing students skills. This is a place where you need to learn martial arts and prove it during classes in order to get your belt. My son was first in the junior MMA program and he is now in the advanced MMA program. He has classes 3 times per week and he loves it. During the lockdown, Joel continued the training on Zoom with online classes, which were very helpful. Parents can also join different classes if they want to, so it is also a family oriented training facility. Highly recommended for all ages!

  • 5/5 Eddie G. 2 years ago on Google
    We've been with RevMMA since 2019, my two eldest children are doing the teen boxing and BJJ, and I'm doing the BJJ/ Gracie Combatives. My teens are more confident and are developing practical life lasting skills for self-defense. These should be considered "life-saving" skills which every person should learn, like swimming. My children are taekwondo black belts, but it's the BJJ and boxing which gives me confidence in their self-defense abilities. I can't recommend it enough. For myself, I was apprehensive to start BJJ as I was "old", but better late than never. BJJ has been personally transformative, in that it motivates me to do regular stretching, and other core excercises - I'm overall better now than before I started training. It's a common theme to meet people in the club who have reformed themselves physically. Each person improves themselves from the day before - regardless from where they start. Thank you to the club and coaches!

    Around a year ago I was looking for Jiu jitsu gyms and between all the options I had, I chose to join REV and I have not regret my decision once. Amazing instructors with a very positive environment. I highly recommend Rev MMA, specially if you are new to Jiu Jitsu and don't know where to begin. You can't ask for better Instructors than Joel and Arthur.

    I have been training at RevMMA for the better part of two years. I also have three children in the junior MMA programs (nine-year-old twins and a six-year-old). My children train about three times a week and I currently train about 5 to 6 times a week. In regards to my children I would have to say that RevMMA has by far the best children’s program in Toronto. Not only are the staff kind and knowledgeable, but the head owner and instructor Joel Gerson, along with his talented team, are excellent at keeping our children motivated, healthy, and confident. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, where our children had to train for many months via online zoom sessions, Joel was able to maintain their optimism, and enthusiasm for jujitsu and striking in a way that not many other gyms were able to do. My children have gained confidence in themselves and in their abilities to defend themselves in difficult situations and they have also gained a myriad of friends at the dojo who share the same passion for martial arts. In regards to myself, jujitsu has literally transformed my life. When I joined I was 38 years old, 360 pounds and incapable of even performing the most basic warm up drills. The Rev staff were kind, supportive, and encouraging in helping me re-orient my life towards healthy living, determination, and positive self-image. Now, almost 2 years later, I have lost over 60 pounds, I am training 5 to 6 times a week, feel much more energized, flexible, clearheaded, and determined. But perhaps the most important benefit has been the humility that comes with the practicing of jujitsu and the deep friendships that are formed both on and off the mats in the community of RevMMA. I highly recommend RevMMA to anyone who’s looking to get healthy, explore different martial arts (whether it be Brazilian jujitsu, Muaythai, boxing, Krav Maga or general fitness classes), Or looking for a place for their children to become active within a loving and supportive environment. Thank you RevMMA!

    Very nice gym, but overcrowded particularly for beginners classes for kids. Classes are easily 50 kids a class and with several helpers it's still not much attention. Most of time kids sit out watching. Only until 9 yrs of age do you begin to learn, until then it's confidence building through games. Update changed from 3 to 4 star: it's been roughly 1.5 months since I posted and we have seen improvement after speaking to the owner. The owner has been responsive to feedback and has checked-in to see how the adjustments have fared out. Class sizes are smaller as the hump of new school yr enrollees has settled. Depending on your kid's ability in class/skill level achieved/whether the teacher thinks your kid is ready, you can ask to be moved up to the older class.

    The staff are friendly and helpful. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and work closely with students to ensure they are grasping the fundamentals and honing their skills. REV MMA/Gracie Toronto is a great gym to begin your bjj journey or continue on. Would recommend!

😠 Facilities are great! Very clean, approachable staff, delicious smoothies. During the first lockdown, my credit card expired. Upon re-opening, I had forgotten completely about the gym. They charged my account from June-October without notifying me what was happening. This resulted in over $300 in...
