Vanguard Gym

Fantastic experience: Great staff and everyone is very welcoming. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Great BJJ/Muy Thai/Crossfit gym with awesome coaches, top level instruction and the best people to train with! Could not be happier that I found this place!

Fantastic experience: Tons of mat space + lots of classes available = small class sizes and personal attention. The later classes are great for busy work days working past 6PM. 30-day trial is much longer than other gyms. They have an organized method of teaching jiu jitsu consistent across instructors that builds on itself over weeks/months, not just a random move of the day. Felt very welcome as a beginner. Strong focus on safety and injury prevention, big selling point for the 30+ crowd. Pricing is a great value - BJJ is not cheap, esp. in DMV but Vanguard is very reasonable. You won't find a better deal in the area, I shopped around and came back to Vanguard. High ceilings and good ventilation are big perk vs other BJJ gyms. Does not get stinky and gross like basement gyms. Thanks Doug, Christian, Mike and others, I will be back!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing BJJ at vanguard gym for about 2 years now and I just started CrossFit as well. I can’t tell you how outstanding this place is, the coaches are so inspirational and motivating and the atmosphere is amazing. My first and current job is at the gym because I wanted to be more involved. Overall if you want a place to train Martial arts or crossFit this is the place.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the family atmosphere, the principles the coaching staff adheres to and the goal-oriented approach the head coach encourages all members to have. The positive attitudes are contagious! Definitely worth checking out.
