I started at Meraki about 11 months ago and could not be happier. I've visited a few gyms and none compares to quality of Meraki. Jason and team's attention to detail from the aesthetics to the training/teaching really set the tone for the club. There's a high emphasis on hygiene and cleanliness and the amenities are always well kept and clean. The staff/professors/coaches are all really friendly and make a point to help new members learn the art.

This is a great academy for learning BJJ, I've been here for about 8 months as a noob white belt. The instructors and fellow students are great, while most are hobbyists, they still train hard without being overly aggressive. Some of the professors have over 20 years of experience in BJJ, and many have background in other styles also, making them well-versed warriors.

Joining has been hands down, the best choice I’ve made to help improve my physical fitness and Jiu Jitsu technique. The training staff and team is very friendly and knowledgable and make me want to train as much as I can. I look forward to walking through the doors and always feel amazing when I leave.
