Straight Blast Gym Buford

I could not recommend this gym enough. I started training MMA in Lynchburg, VA where I went to college. Coming home to Georgia for the summer typically meant training at home, but this past summer I was determined to find a good local gym. After trying multiple gyms in the area, I did the free trial at SBG Buford and was immediately drawn to it and its culture. After explaining my current position and future aspirations, it only took 2 classes for me to have full access to all the classes I needed to make my dreams a reality. That dream being, the opportunity to compete in my first kickboxing fight. Lucky for me, multiple fighters at the time were preparing for the local IKF fight in Atlanta. Fast forward to the day of the fight, it was such an amazing experience. I ended up winning the fight, but beyond that, the coaches truly made me feel like a professional fighter. This experience is something that I will remember forever and will always be extremely thankful for! All of that to say, if you are in the Buford area and are looking for a high-level gym with high character people, check out SBG Buford!

I couldn't be happier with my decision to join SBG. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff and fellow members. The trainers here are top-notch, and their expertise is evident in every class.The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything I need for my workouts. Whether I'm looking to improve my ground game in jiujitsu, build strength and endurance through performance, or refine my striking skills in Muay Thai, SBG has it all under one roof.What truly sets SBG apart is the sense of community that the Tribe has. I've made great friends here who push me to be my best and support me on my journey. It's not just a gym; it's a family.I highly recommend SBG to anyone looking to improve their fitness, learn valuable self-defense skills, and be part of an incredible community.

I decided to join SBG about a year and a half ago and its been one of the best choices I’ve made because it has improved my life in many ways. If you want to improve your confidence, make connections with like minded people and pick up a new skill this is the place!All of the coaches are super knowledgeable and experienced and make you feel welcomed.Thank you to all the SBG coaches, staff, and all of my hard working partners for making this such a great experience!

Everything about this gym is amazing. Great coaches. Carmen kills it in kickboxing.I don’t understand how someone so sweet can be that ruthless (in the best way possible)but we love her for it. Alex is a phenomenal Muay Thai coach and great teacher. And James in performance will not hesitate to step in and correct your form so you can get the most out of your workout and is hands down one of the most knowledgeable trainers I’ve ever worked with. The over all feeling of this gym is a huge sense of belonging. My son started years ago and after watching him bloom in self confidence under the leadership of this incredible team of coaches I joined shortly after. Not only are the workout spaces always clean but the bathrooms and showers are also and always well stocked. Highly recommend checking it out

Reviewing the Muay Thai classes as those are the only ones im taking. Instructors are fun and good at giving constructive criticism on technique. They are all also legit MMA fighters if that concerns you, so they know their stuff. All of the students are nice and welcoming, and will also help you with technique. Classes are a great workout and great stress relief. They also play Tame Impala from time to time over the gym speakers which is great.

This isn’t just another gym, this is a second family. From the coaches to training partners, everyone cares for each other and surrounded by positive vibes. I originally joined this gym for kickboxing and weight lifting but after a little while I ventured out of my comfort zone and picked up Jiu Jitsu and recently this year Muay Thai. My only regret is not doing this sooner. Not only is this a fun hobby for me, but a great outlet at the end of each day. No matter the type of day I had, all of my coaches and friends make my evenings better and I always feel great leaving the gym. Their motto is One Tribe One Vibe and that’s truly what it is. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to start a new fun hobby/hobbies or the beginning of their fitness journey.

We love SBG! The staff is amazing, and the culture is great. Montana is awesome and has such a great way with kids. Going to SBG has given my kids such confidence.

Great classes, awesome staff, and overall wonderful training environment.

Learning and training techniques under Coach Alex and Coach Patrick is always a good time. Both have good vibes and attention to detail when giving tips!

Honestly if you're looking for real discipline, a gym family, and you're ready to push your limits this is the gym for you. If you want to get started Fitness Kickboxing w/ Coach Carmen is hands down a great way to get started and get you right.
