Inverted Gear Academy

I've been training for about 12 years and sadly had to leave my home gym due to moving across the state. I had heard good things about Inverted Gear and decided to check them out. The first class I attended was a women's class and I immediately felt at home. Hillary and Nelson have worked hard at creating a great culture where I feel safe and respected. Beyond that, the training is top notch!

A perfect place for all to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at. Classes 6 days a week and a 2 hour open mat on Sundays. Tired of your kid playing fortnite after doing his homework after school? There's kid classes! There's also a women's only class on Saturday mornings! Great instructors great peers to be around. Higher belts adopt you and you learn something new from their experiences as well as the phenomenal classes given. Nelson and Hilary are experts of this sport. Alex is also a great instructor as well! They know anything and everything about. I've been coming since November and have seen a large amount of improvement in confidence athleticism and endurance. Want to find a place where you can learn self defense skills and reach your fitness and or weight loss goals? Inverted Gear Academy is the cream of the crop in the Lehigh Valley

After training for 5 months, Inverted Gear has become my daughter's home away from home and a supportive extended family. Hillary and Nelson, owners and instructors, have helped guide us through the last months, answering questions and guiding us through the jiu jitsu world. The unlimited membership options has allowed our family the space to tailor our daughters training schedule to her goals. The curriculum builds through the weekly classes allowing for our daughter to practice the skill set through the week. A great bonus is the comradery amongst the women. They all work to be the best they can be, but it goes so far beyond that, encouraging each other to best they can be. The women that my daughter works with don't see her age (she's the youngest), but rather her potential. The biggest thing that stands out is that every person who walks in to class is there to learn, to push themselves, to be their best self, to help those who are struggling, watching out for each other. No one is there just for themself. The positivity can be felt. I think that is the family and Academy that Nelson and Hillary have built.

From the moment my son took the trial class, it just felt right. We love the flexible schedule for kids class (M-F, come any day) that really works well for us. They recommended at least 2 classes a week which is very easy. All the coaches are encouraging, kind, friendly and they also reinforce discipline, respect and resilience. My son loves all the coaches and though some evenings are rough for him because it’s at end of the day and he’s tired but I can see the changes in his level of confidence & resilience. I like that Jiu Jitsu teaches body movement, self control, close-range defense and pinning opponents down instead of striking. If your kid loves martial arts and enjoys activities after school, this may be the right class. Everyone here is friendly and helpful including other parents. It’s a great community here and the owner, coach Nelson is always around to listen or answer any questions.

I'm a black belt, and recently moved to the area. Great jiujitsu but that's secondary to the amazing culture that Nelson and Hillary have built here. Come train, I know what I'm talking about, and this is a good gym.
