Renzo Gracie Bayside

"This gym encapsulates the phrase “we’re all family here.” The welcoming energy of the coaches and staff really makes you feel like you’re not only welcomed here but you’re a part of the family and it doesn’t just stop at the coaches and the staff, even the people attending classes. I’ve been attending this gym since may and I’m so happy I decided to sign up. My fellow students from the moment I walked in made me feel welcomed and accepted. Coach Joey is as likable as they come and strives to connect to as many students on a personal level as he can. Coach Jeremy is a funny charismatic coach and loves engaging in banter with his students while teaching. I can’t say praise this gym enough and if my opinion matters to anyone reading this place that may be on the fence on whether or not they should join I leave you with this, do it. Do it because you won’t regret it."

"Renzo Gracie Bayside is the best program in the area. I have sent my kids to many different sports/activities, but we stick with Renzo. We attend the class 2-3 times a week. My daughter and son had so much fun all the time. They are learning skills and manner, training them not only physically but mentally. They made very good friends there. They practice together and respect each other. And the membership fee is very reasonable. We will continue to attend probably for years."

"Definitely one of the best MMA gyms in NYC. Instructors are professional and knowledgeable, environment is clean and well maintained. Would recommend!"

"Been going for two weeks and I'm very happy with how clean the facility is and how supportive the coaches and other members are considering how new I am. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to dive in muay thai or BJJ."

"Really nice training staff and coaches, but does make people uncomfortable in the current pandemic that the staff aren't wearing masks, they're not requiring parents to wear masks, and they're not requiring students to wear mask. Also they don't disinfect between every session, which is kinda disgusting if you think about it since everyone's on the mat"
