My family and I've been members since 2015. My daughter has been in the Kid's BJJ program since she was 8 years old and now she is 16. We love all the programs and the culture there, especially Performance and Fitness Kick Boxing. I stayed strong and in shape through out these years because of their amazing fitness programs. I had the opportunity to jump into Carmen's Fitness kick boxing class today and I have to say that I enjoyed it. The energy and the intensity of her class was fun, but also tough. It made me sweat and cry at the same time (in a good way, lol). Her workout had me constantly moving. It helps burns all the extra calories which is exactly what I needed. What a great 1 hour workout. I am coming back for more.

I could not recommend this gym enough. I started training MMA in Lynchburg, VA where I went to college. Coming home to Georgia for the summer typically meant training at home, but this past summer I was determined to find a good local gym. After trying multiple gyms in the area, I did the free trial at SBG Buford and was immediately drawn to it and its culture. After explaining my current position and future aspirations, it only took 2 classes for me to have full access to all the classes I needed to make my dreams a reality. That dream being, the opportunity to compete in my first kickboxing fight. Lucky for me, multiple fighters at the time were preparing for the local IKF fight in Atlanta. Fast forward to the day of the fight, it was such an amazing experience. I ended up winning the fight, but beyond that, the coaches truly made me feel like a professional fighter. This experience is something that I will remember forever and will always be extremely thankful for! All of that to say, if you are in the Buford area and are looking for a high-level gym with high character people, check out SBG Buford!

Everything about this gym is amazing. Great coaches. Carmen kills it in kickboxing.I don’t understand how someone so sweet can be that ruthless (in the best way possible)but we love her for it. Alex is a phenomenal Muay Thai coach and great teacher. And James in performance will not hesitate to step in and correct your form so you can get the most out of your workout and is hands down one of the most knowledgeable trainers I’ve ever worked with. The over all feeling of this gym is a huge sense of belonging. My son started years ago and after watching him bloom in self confidence under the leadership of this incredible team of coaches I joined shortly after. Not only are the workout spaces always clean but the bathrooms and showers are also and always well stocked. Highly recommend checking it out

This is a wonderful gym! My 7 year old daughter has been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over 2 years, and has come so far with all the amazing coaches. They care deeply for their work, training, and ethics, and it shows in how they coach the kids classes. Coach Montana, Carmen, Paul, and Drew…..they are awesome!! We love this place!

I started going to SBG Buford in January for a new challenge. Wanted to get out of my comfort zone and try something different. Goal was to cut weight as much as possible and I went from 290 lbs to 265. And I’ve been achieving my goals with the help of the Coaches there.First I started with Muay Thai and Coach Alex and Coach Montana help me learn the fundamentals and mechanics. In a couple of months I got bumped up to Intermediate. Then I started doing Performance class with Coach James and Coach Amanda and showed me different weight lifting techniques and resistance training.Then I started Fitness Kickboxing conditioning class, which in my opinion is the best class just because it’s a little more fast pace and pushes you beyond your limits. Coach Alex, Coach Montana and Coach Carmen keep you guessing on what the exercises will be. It’s always different never the same.I haven’t try Jujitsu yet but I do know Coach Woo a little bit and he’s a good dude. All of the Coaches have helped me on achieving my fitness goals and don’t have any thing but good things to say about all of them.I highly recommended SBG Buford to anyone who is looking to get into MMA, Muay Thai, Jijitsu or is just trying to get into shape. You will meet good hard working people. Coaches will answer any questions you have with the best of their knowledge.

I’ve been with SBG Atlanta for over a year now and can confidently say it would be hard to find another gym with more motivated, experienced, and genuinely caring coaches than SBG’s staff. Their involvement with the gym and students have created a community of people looking to better themselves while developing the skills to protect themselves and the people they care about. The community they’ve created is made up of people from all walks of life showing that no matter what you’re looking for in a gym, you can find it at SBG.

SBG is by far the best gym I’ve ever been at! I take kickboxing classes with Coach Carmen and Performance with Coach James and they are the reason I stay at this gym. I come every morning to the 9:30 class and it’s perfect, I get my workout in and then I’m ready for the day. You know when you walk in your better be ready for a good workout and you’re definitely gonna feel it when walking out. I have pushed myself further than I would have working out by myself and I credit that to the awesome coaching staff that they have. You will never find a better gym than Straight Blast Gym.

The slogan “one tribe, one vibe” could not ring more true. This gym has become a second family to our family. The coaches are amazing and truly care about their students as individuals. Coach Montana does an awesome job with the kids. Our son has grown into a skilled fighter and grown in character and self confidence as a result of his training at SBG.

SBG is an amazing gym with a great vibe! It is the first gym where I have actually been able to truly see noticeable results from all the work that I put in. The kickboxing classes taught by Coach Carmen and the weight training classes taught by Coach James are both awesome classes!They have both motivated and helped me achieve goals that I didn’t even know were possible! If you want to see real results and have fun while doing it, I highly recommend checking them out!!

I have been training at SBG Buford for 3 years. I participate in the Muay Thai program and I’ve even competed in tournaments too! This gym has a vibe like no other and I love the community of people I get to see everyday. Everyone is there trying to get better and help others get better as well. The coaches are awesome. Coach Pat and Coach Alex, the Muay Thai coaches, are very knowledgeable and really care about their students development. I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to do a Muay Thai, BJJ, MMA, or fitness program!

The instructors are very fun, knowledgeable and get the most out everyone. Coach Alex is does a great job coaching the Muay Thai classes as well as the kickboxing classes. Since I’ve started I have learned so much and become much more disciplined in my fitness regimen.
