What a great gym! Nice new location, friendly staff and an incredible team. I’ve known some of the coaches here for a long time and would suggest this gym to any individual looking to begin or add to their martial arts/fitness journey. SBG is where it’s at!

I have had a wonderful experience with SBG Buford. It's a welcoming and supportive culture that extends beyond the facility. There is an expansive class schedule allowing anyone to workout and improve mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Whether you are looking to have some fun while working out, lose some weight, acquire some self-defense skills, or look to compete with some enjoyable people, I would recommend that you check out SBG Buford. Men, women, kids, young or masters adults, it's a quality environment that will help you reach your personal goals. More...

Been going here for about a year and absolutely love it! ALL the coaches are amazing and knowledgeable. I can not say enough about the one on one sessions with the coaches. I have had sessions with Coach Pat in Muay Thai and Coach Woo in Jujitsu and have gotten so much out of each of them. If you have any inkling of trying martial arts... SBG Buford is the place to go!!!!! More...

I have been to many gyms in the area. I decided on SBG for a 3 reasons. First and foremost, the quality of the trainers and staff. They are knowledge, friendly and motivating. Everyone I have met is a class act and seem to really care. After joining and speaking with members, they reinforce what I mention above. Secondly, the class times are frequent and flexible as well as the ability to schedule foundations classes with a trainer at a time of my convenience.

Lastly, the cost structure is fair and transparent with many payment options.

If you want to experience something that is exciting, challenging and rewarding all at the same time while being in good hands through the process, you have many options here. I expect to be a member here for a very long time! An easy 5 out of 5. More...

Straight Blast Gym is the best!!! … it's SO much more than just a gym! I’ve never been to a place that is MORE welcoming, supportive, dynamic, and encouraging than SBG. And it’s all because of the atmosphere, culture, and camaraderie that the coaches have created there; a welcoming family and tribe for ALL levels.

The cardio kickboxing classes are a BLAST… an intense, different, and fun workout every time! And I recently started Jiu Jitsu and completely fell in love with it. As a 32 y.o. female just beginning BJJ, it is incredibly empowering - and challenges you both mentally and physically. Never would have discovered how much fun it is without the support and encouragement of all of the coaches at SBG to try something new…. And specifically Coach Phillipe!! What better way to learn than from a seasoned and well-accomplished black belt, who has the innate ability to break down the complex movements into easy to absorb fundamentals.

All of the coaches and programs are incredible. You wont be disappointed! More...

If you’re looking for a gym that truly cares about you getting where you want to be, a place where everybody is awesome and supportive, and an all around great atmosphere, I promise, this is the place for you. SBG is more than just a gym. They truly believe in a specific mentality that I have yet to find anywhere else. I never realized how important it was to not feel judged every time you stepped into the place. No one cares how much experience you have or where you start. All they want is for you to try. So, I implore you, try SBG. You won’t be disappointed. More...

I have been going for 3 weeks now and it has been wonderful. The staff is great, the energy is high, and the cardio kickboxing classes are a lot of fun. They work you out but you're having a great time doing it. I love that it's not repetitive and boring. Definitely check them out if you are in the area! More...

Ive been going to this gym for almost 2 years now. After getting out the of the military this gym has helped me out in some of the worst times. I still remember the first classes I went to, with Sean Coleman at the helm. Ill tell you what the man knows his stuff and very easy to talk to. Years later we have become friends. Same goes for the rest of the coaches. These guys and this gym is top of the line. The members I consider a second family. I just love this place!!!! More...
