I had a very moving experience with my 5-year-old granddaughter at Garcia Barra. The team was professional, the reception and check-in were just magnificent. The coaches are angels and so patient with the little ones, given their age, it's not easy to guide them. The room is very clean and you have the opportunity to watch your little ones during their training. They also offer a very chic uniform depending on the gender of the staff. They also encourage new or potential members to register with free trials. I thank you for your help and for this superb experience. Lilya's mom

The Gracie Barra team is amazing! We just moved to the area from out of state and seeking a place where we could train and found it! Everyone was so nice to my kids and I. The gym is super clean and the staff are unbelievably nice. I would highly recommend them! The owners are great and truly make you feel supported with any questions you might have while making you feel apart of the community. 10/10!

Signed our son up for the trial class, while he’s more on the shy side, I was very surprised at the interaction he got once we entered thes door. From Lisa, greeting us and quickly getting him into a Gi. To professor Scott taking a few minutes to say hello as well. We started class, well He started class and the kids and coaches were all amazing with him. As impressed as I was with the staff and felllw students- I was shocked to see our son, join them as if he’s been attending the gym like is wasn’t his first day. He had a amazing first class. Once it was over, I asked him if 1- he had fun? 2- If this is something he’d like to continue doing? He said yes to both. With that being said, walked over to Lisa and she helped us get signed up, went over pricing and expectations and fitted him for his very first Gi. He is so excited to go back next week. Thank you Lisa, Professor Scott and the team at GB Meridian.
