Absolutely love the welcoming environment, instruction and facilities of this place. After a week trial we knew we wanted to join this gym. I joined, and my 9 year old joined. The fact that he actually smiles and has fun here, tells me all I need to know about this place. Excellent instructors, who genuinely care about their students. If you are on the fence about trying them out, give the week trial a shot. No commitment. I promise you it will be worth it.

The Mount is a safe place for those that want to train Jiu-jitsu or MMA. The coaches are patient, kind, they really have the passion to teach and they want to be sure you are truly understanding the class teachings without feeling rushed or flustered! My daughter has been training with Coach Jim for a couple years, she feels extremely comfortable and safe around him! He has helped her gain a lot of confidence in sparring as well! She is the reason I started the BJJ and MMA classes. The Mount offers Women's only classes that is actually taught by a woman! She is a black belt which is freaking amazing! She is a beast at her craft but she is also so great at teaching it!

The Mount offers morning classes as well that actually allows me to get some training in since most weekday evenings I am not able to make classes!

If you are looking for a forever home gym this is the place!!!
