I have been going to Endevour for almost 4 years now and it’s an amazing gym! Not only do they have amazing coach’s there everyday they bring in some of the best coaches trainers in the world! The fight side offers a little of bit of everything, and no matter your skill level will help you feel comfortable with what’s going on! The fitness side is a great place no matter your skill level the coach’s are there to help not tell you what to do! If you are in the areas and want to get fit make friends and experience a great community this is the place to try!

Joining this BJJ gym has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt like part of a family. The atmosphere is welcoming, supportive, and filled with people who genuinely care about each other’s growth—on and off the mats. This gym has become more than just a place to train; it’s a second home. The coaches are not only incredibly skilled but also passionate about helping everyone—from beginners to advanced—build confidence, discipline, and real-world strength. Whether you’re looking to get in shape, learn self-defense, or just find a strong community, this is the place. I’ve grown so much here, physically and mentally, and I can’t imagine my life without it. If you’re considering starting BJJ, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won’t regret it!

Joining any gym in your 50’s is intimidating, especially if you’ve been away for a while. Endeavor provides several options for getting involved and the coaches strike a strong balance between challenging you and understanding your needs. I give it two thumbs up, though one of my thumbs is sore from the 6 am class. This gym is great in its offer, its coaching, and its culture.

Took my daughter to her first jiu jitsu class ever, and they did an amazing job. She wants to keep learning and training which was the hope. They did a fantastic job bringing BJJ skills down to a kids level so she can build the fundamentals while making it fun. We will be joining this gym after having such a positive experience.

Got the opportunity for Aaron Jannetti to train with me and my team and it was an outstanding experience. Shared great knowledge and extremely personable. I recommend training with him anywhere he is teaching.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Endeavor Defense & Fitness. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Endeavor Defense & Fitness welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Endeavor Defense & Fitness train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
