Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu And Fitness Libertyville — Local services in Green Oaks

Initially i was excited to try out jiu jitsu for the first time so I gave this place a shot. Came in and tried out the facility for 1 day and decided to join. I paid $156 for the first month and they said that it's a 1 year commitment but that I can cancel anytime... That seemed sketchy to me but I wanted to try out a new sport so I signed anyways... Should have listened to my gut. On my first week, I suffered an ankle injury there and was unable to put any pressure on it. So I did what any logical person would do and canceled to not waste my money. I was nice enough to not even ask for a refund for the initial $156 since I was only there for a week and I got injured. All I asked was for my account to be canceled and no more charges obviously. I trusted them. Well the next month I see that I got charged another $156... So that's $312 for getting injured in their facility. I thought, hmm maybe this was a mistake and they can just refund the extra $156 they weren't supposed to Charge. WRONG. They refused to give me the other $156 back. They don't care if you get injured or if you have to move or if you decide you don't have time. When you sign, they're going to take your money if you like it or not. I will not be suprised if they do it again to me next month. Lastly I would like to say that professor Jamil and all the other trainers there were awesome and nice people. This was not something they did but rather the billing company. If you don't plan on being there for a year however, save yourself the time, stress and money. Don't make the same...

I’ve been around Jiu Jitsu in Northern IL since 2012, the instruction and facility at GB Libertyville are the best I’ve seen. Professors Jamil, Sergio, and Scott demonstrate a commitment to excellence that goes beyond the mat. Their instruction is top-notch, and what sets them apart is their willingness to go the extra mile for their students. They demonstrate a genuine desire to see their students not only excel in Jiu Jitsu but also thrive in life. Beyond regular class hours, they willingly invest extra time to refine techniques and strategize, pushing students beyond their limits. Their generosity and knowledge are a big reason I’ve made this my Jiu-Jitsu home.

The gym culture is exceptional. From the front desk to the mats, there is sense community and a strong team environment where everyone is encouraged to push their limits during training. The facility at GB Libertyville is unlike any other in the area. HUGE mat space, a professional-level weight room with everything you need, from rowing machines to climbing ropes, sleds, racks, and kettlebells. The male and female locker rooms are spacious and always clean. The showers are convenient for those, like me, who squeeze in training during lunch breaks.

This is the ideal space for anyone looking to train Jiu Jitsu, whether it’s your first class or you’re a competitor seeking to sharpen your skills among like-minded...

If you are thinking of trying classes here, just go ahead and schedule a class.

This place is a real gem! I began going to learn some Jiu Jutsu and as a woman, I can say that I have never felt out of place even when I am the only woman there. Prof. Jamil is easy to understand and ensures that your are safe and learning while in his classes. I have learned so much since I started and am actually making friends with class mates (which is nice since I am not from the area originally).

Kelly has now started holding Barre classes here also, and they will kick your butt in a good way! She is an excellent teacher who makes sure you have good form in order to get the most out of your class. On top of that, she’s just a very nice person.

The facilities are amazing! The mats and restrooms are always clean. The bathroom facilities here are huge with changing areas inside each and showers! I love being able to go to Jiu jitsu and roll around on mats, shower, change back into my day clothes and resume my busy life outside the gym doors as if I hadn’t even sweated that day.

I am also told there is still more to come! Since they are brand new, they are still rennovating a space to make a weight room and will soon...
