From the reviews
I have been a member of Rounders Since 2016. I have trained In their Boxing, Muay Thai, Cardio kickboxing, Wrestling and Jujutsu classes in the almost 10 years I have been a member. I have even competed for the gym on from time to time.
Best gym ever❣ lots of classes with coaches who care and can explain things in multiple ways. Clean well kept gym. Friendly staff, and GREAT training partners. Expert or newbie, Rounders has you covered👍
Stopped by for Muay Thai class. The instructors were very knowledgeable and put us through a challenging workout. Everyone was very welcoming. Will definitely be signing up.
Easily the best boxing gym I’ve trained at. All the coaches here are dedicated in helping you grow, whether you’re a beginner or a fighter. The atmosphere in the gym is amazing, I was really nervous and quite shy when I first came to the gym thinking everyone would judge me or would make fun of me but everyone is…
New to BJJ? Start at Rounders MMA & Boxing Jiu-Jitsu
Rounders MMA & Boxing Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Rounders MMA & Boxing Jiu-Jitsu
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 when you call. 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.
