I joined RGN in May this year and it has been nothing but a positive experience. I switched over as someone that has already trained at a different gym for over 2 years so I did not know what to expect when I first walked in, but Professor Matheus made me feel welcome on my first day. Very rarely do you have a head Professor roll with you on your first day visiting, this immediately showed me the kind of positive vibe that this gym has. On top of that, the training partners I have found at RGN not only pushed me but have become role models and friends in my life. If you are looking for high level training, a family environment, or even just a good workout; RGN is the place for you.
Great place to train! Very friendly instructors & members as well as an awesome mat space. Very good technique & safe training partners. I found parking very easy.
Honestly one of the best gyms around. The owner Matheus is one of the coolest dudes, he’s always very welcoming and friendly to everyone that walks in. The room is a great, people are really cool. Really good training, Matheus is very knowledgeable with the technique he teaches. Definitely recommend stopping by to check out a class.

The coaches are great with children, balancing discipline with fun, and making sure they learn and progress while enjoying themselves.
