From the reviews
Coach Gabe is super respectful to all of his students and does a great job teaching moves to beginners! Highly recommend you come down for a class if you are thinking about it.
Love training here! Regardless of your skill level, age or athletic level it’s a wonderful place to train. World class head instructor.
I can’t say enough about the incredible environment at Squarred. From the moment you step on the mats, you’re met with a sensei and trainers who truly care about your growth—meeting you where you are while challenging you to improve with patience, skill, and respect. The community here is just as amazing.
Great atmosphere and Coach Ronnie has been wonderful. All the coaches make my daughter look forward to class and have enthusiastically helped her to learn the discipline, techniques, and confidence that will live with her throughout her life.
New to BJJ? Start at Squared BJJ Leominster
Squared BJJ Leominster 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 Squared BJJ Leominster
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.
