The classes they run
“I reached out to the owners to try out a free class for me (50) and my son (24).”
“I also like the fact that it's a no-gi gym-- to me it feels like it's more useful in real situations.”
“He's a data scientist so he's also a super-intelligent guy and he invited us to come watch him compete in an actual jiu jitsu cage match, which was awesome!”
“Classes are of reasonable size making it easy to get one on one attention.”
“The "Beginners" classes are just as good, which I also attend (despite not being a 'beginner') -- a lot of nice details that you might not get introduced to at other academies.”

From the reviews
I recently moved to Leverage as my primary home gym. My experience over the last month has been nothing short of exceptional and I am grateful for making the change. I’m a 125lbs woman with 1 year of aggressive / consistent training and competing. The coaching team at Leverage is top tier.
I did a lot of research into jiu jitsu gyms before choosing Leverage. Most of them aren't transparent about their prices, but Leverage was-- very clear and straightforward. I also like the fact that it's a no-gi gym-- to me it feels like it's more useful in real situations.
Leverage Jiu Jitsu is an awesome place to train. HIGH level instructors and a really fun environment to a part of. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Classes are of reasonable size making it easy to get one on one attention. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to train and better themselves!
This is a great school, with good people. Not only are the owners, Fabiana and Robert, *really* good at their craft...but they are able to break down everything to very understandable steps and don't skip anything. It's never overwhelming (big plus for me), and the two teach a lot of the all-levels classes.
New to BJJ? Start at Leverage Jiu Jitsu Colorado/10th Planet Superior
Leverage Jiu Jitsu Colorado/10th Planet Superior comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Leverage Jiu Jitsu Colorado/10th Planet Superior
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
