Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu And Fitness Libertyville

The best gym within 100 miles. I was a beginner looking for a gym to start out at and they made me feel very welcome. All the coaches and professors take a personal interest in every one of one of their members. Well worth my money and time.

I started training here a few months ago and it has been terrific! Professor Jamil, Professor John, and Coach Scott are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The students have a wide variety of ages and skill levels and I can learn, be pushed, be challenged, and be encouraged depending on how the day on the mats goes. I can’t recommend this gym highly enough!!

Not just Gracie name. This school is great for me. I've been to 3 other schools during my training. This has been the best fit for me. Great structure, very much a family. All of the professors are great they listen and have really helped me with my game. Love this place and look to get my kids started here soon.

Initially i was excited to try out jiu jitsu for the first time so I gave this place a shot. Came in and tried out the facility for 1 day and decided to join. I paid $156 for the first month and they said that it's a 1 year commitment but that I can cancel anytime... That seemed sketchy to me but I wanted to try out a new sport so I signed anyways... Should have listened to my gut. On my first week, I suffered an ankle injury there and was unable to put any pressure on it. So I did what any logical person would do and canceled to not waste my money. I was nice enough to not even ask for a refund for the initial $156 since I was only there for a week and I got injured. All I asked was for my account to be canceled and no more charges obviously. I trusted them. Well the next month I see that I got charged another $156... So that's $312 for getting injured in their facility. I thought, hmm maybe this was a mistake and they can just refund the extra $156 they weren't supposed to Charge. WRONG. They refused to give me the other $156 back. They don't care if you get injured or if you have to move or if you decide you don't have time. When you sign, they're going to take your money if you like it or not. I will not be suprised if they do it again to me next month. Lastly I would like to say that professor Jamil and all the other trainers there were awesome and nice people. This was not something they did but rather the billing company. If you don't plan on being there for a year however, save yourself the time, stress and money. Don't make the same mistake I made.

Fine Gym I suppose, but they will get you stuck in a contract. Was a member for half a year. Due to an injury and life events, couldn't participate much and still billed me extra months after cancelling. Not cool. I would avoid doing business here. Plenty of other great locations in the area.

Professor Jamil and Instructor Stevan have a wealth of Jiu Jitsu knowledge that you won't find anywhere else. I have learned so much from these two guys over years. I am really excited for the future of this school. Their mat space is clean, cushioned and huge besides college wrestling rooms I don't remember ever seeing a facility this expansive. I look forward to getting in some awesome training here.....Osss!!!!

Thank You!
