Straight Blast Gym Buford

SBG is the best gym I have ever been to. They offer so much and everyone is so friendly and the coaches are the best they make sure you get the best workout and have a great time doing it. So if you haven’t stopped by you should definitely check it out.

I’ve been doing Crossfit for 2 ½ years and recently started at SBG. The workouts are great, varied, challenging, and fun, but not like some of the crazy programming you see at other gyms. The coaches are knowledgeable and positive. I have learned even new things from them since switching. Coach Sean taught me to string double unders in one class which no other coach has been able to do. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and I love going to class. So happy I made the decision to join SBG.

Best Gym. Of my life. Excellent coaches that compete in their own competitions. They are super professional and still crazy fun to be around. Definitely an inviting environment.
I mostly train in Muay Thai with Eddie Walker, who is amazing. He gives constructive criticism and never pushes you past your limit. He will push you to do your very best, and always knows exactly what you need to work on to improve. He demonstrates and even walks around to help everyone while we train. Seriously, this place is the best of the best.

SBG Buford is an awesome place to get some really good training and meet some really good people. The staff is very friendly and will answer any question you may have. I have been training at SBG for a little over three months now, and have really seen improvements in myself. Couldn’t ask for better coaches!!! They take their time to make sure everyone understands what is going on, while at the same time keeping it fun while learning. Also the people are respectful of others and don’t carry that so called chip on their shoulder. Overall this is one of the best gyms around for whatever shape your in or skill level, it will challenge you.

This is a gem of a gym! Phillipe is training world-​class athletes while providing a friendly, fun, and safe environment that welcomes everyone. These guys are very quick to be inclusive and one can’t help but get sucked into the camaraderie.
The BJJ training here is really top-​notch. Phillipe and his guys will push and challenge you but never at the cost of skipping over details. This is evident in the technical delivery by the instructors as well as the students. It is also why I feel so comfortable rolling and practicing with the folks here. I travel frequently and take my BJJ training with me while I visit various gyms. This place ranks very high in quality of instruction and is definitely one of my favorites.

Gentry’s has been wonderful for our family. I wanted to find the right martial arts school for my kids and I succeeded.
I used to take submission wrestling approximately 20 years ago. I was never great at it, but I know enough to recognize a good school when I see one. As a kid I also took a few martial arts that would be less than effective in a real self-​defense situation, so I know how to recognize ineffective martial arts when I see them.
I wanted to find a style and school that my kids would enjoy, that would teach them life skills as well as self defense, and that would be effective if they ever have to protect themselves.
Gentry’s meets my requirements perfectly. The instructors are really great with kids (even my 7-​year-​old son who is a roving engine of destruction). The coaches are also very talented. I know because I have grappled with some of them and it is obvious how technically superb they are. Over the last year i have taken enormous pleasure in watching my kids’ skills grow quickly. I have also been pleased to see both of them developing improved sportsmanship.
I recommend putting kids in their BJJ program. Bjj is a sport but it is also effective for real-​world grappling. If a BJJ-​trained kid gets attacked on the school yard, that kid is likely to just hold down the attacker until an adult breaks up the fight. That is much better than having a kid smash some other kid’s face in.
My kids love it so much that they get very upset with me if we have to skip a class for some reason.
Oh — and they provide free wifi for parents like me who need to study or work while their kids work out.

Ive been coming to this gym for about three months now and it doesnt compete with any of the other gyms ive been to. The kickboxing classes is what got me interested but I got addicted to coming to gentrys I decided to try out fitx classes and was not disappointed. I love coming here its like my second home.

I have been training here for almost 7 months. So far so good. I mainly do BJJ so I can speak for that and the circuit training fitness class. The BJJ training is AWESOME. I am female and they even have women’s only classes. The ladies are SO supportive of each other. I also do the co-​ed classes and the folks are nice there. This is not Jim Bob’s School of BJJ. This is a legit BJJ school from the world renown Alliance team who are multiple world champions.
When people think MMA gym, they think a bunch of tough guys. They try really hard to keep things friendly. I feel very safe there as a female and I regularly hear others talk about liking the atmosphere.
The circuit training is similar to Crossfit and you do cardio plus weights. Gentry’s also has cardio kickboxing, Muay Thai, yoga and kids BJJ. It’s a lot of stuff for the money. Check it out.

I’ve been training with Phillipe and his staff for years. You will not find a more dedicated and positive group fitness environment anywhere.
I primarily train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu — they are affiliated with the World Champion Alliance jiu jitsu team, and if you are serious about BJJ, there’s not much point in going elsewhere in this part of the city.
Although grappling is my main focus, I have taken many of the other classes just for fun. The coaching environment is very positive and the class camaraderie is great. A real positive group of people to work out and even socialize with.
