    Found this gym while looking for a place to get my son into BJJ. This place is a treasure! Best deal on kids martial arts around, instructors are top notch, and my son loves it!
    I joined the gym side to workout out while my son is doing his class, and what a great idea. It may seem imposing at first, but it is a clean, welcoming environment. There is plenty of space and it's rarely full. Those that are there, are there to work and get better. I've never really been part of a gym like this before, but I really like it. The staff greet you each time you enter and wish you well when you leave. Kosta is awesome and will always take the time to chat with you.
    Can't recommend this place enough.

    Great gym for beginners and advanced lifters. They have everything — powerlifting room, regular gym, BJJ, sauna, massage therapy, chiropractic, and physical therapy. It’s a one stop shop. It’s also a great community.

    My son has been going here for Jiu Jitsu and Judo training for quite a while. The groups aren't too big and the kids get a lot of focused attention. They're also big on sportsmanship and making sure the kids have a little fun too.

    Bull and Bear is the perfect place to workout for that late Gen Xer or early millennial who enjoy loud crazy music and people doing jiu jitsu. There's a level of very comfortable professionalism that felt natural and easy

    Looking back 7 years now: Finding this gym was one of the best things to happen in my life. It is the most real gym I have ever been a member of. This reflects the character of the owner; who has the wild audacity to be uniquely genuine in a world filled with people who do not know themselves. Come here and build a 600 lbs squat, perfect your front double biceps or master jujitsu. The people you find here are not your cookie-cutter-gym-goers, but you might “find yourself” working out amongst them, striving for more - together.

    Have been a regular for few months. Serious gym with a good vibe and good equipment. Music is great and always see others sincerely working out.
    An excellent local gym with good ethos.

    I've been a member since October '23. Fantastic gym. It is by far the best gym I've been a member of or trained at. Everything you need is there, as well as stuff you didn't even know you needed. The staff is AMAZING! I've been a member of other gyms and never even know the desk people's name because they were only on the phone. Even my kids know all the staff. Jiu-jitsu and Judo programs are great, too! The other members either do their thing and go, or will chat you up a little while. Nobody is just standing around a machine, taking up space talking.
