From the reviews
I have been doing their 30 day free MMA trial and I have to say, it is great. I've tried a few different gyms around town, and this one was by far the best yet. I'm not fit, so in many of the other gyms they would push me to the point that I never wanted to come back, but at Teamquest I didn't feel like a chubby loser.
Hey, they won’t judge you here. I always struggle with my weight and they make me feel really good when I come to exercise. I do boxing, kickboxing, etc. For me, is about being healthy for my kids.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Team Quest MMA Gym! As a family, we’ve seen incredible growth in our three kids, not just in their physical abilities, but in their confidence and humility as well.
We love team quest! Very professional, very friendly, and the coaches are great with the kids. My son is actually learning something and looks forward to coming everyday. We will continue to come here for years to come. Thanks for all you do guys!
New to BJJ? Start at Team Quest MMA
Team Quest MMA 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 Team Quest MMA
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.
