The actual gym experience sounds great based on other reviews but I'm really disappointed in Triumph Gym as a member of our community in this residential neighborhood. They just paved their huge parking which is situated between several homes (including with small children/babies) with coal tar. Coal tar contains well documented cancer causing agents and as anyone who's been near a driveway or parking lot coated with the stuff knows, it smells REALLY bad and REALLY strong. I'm sitting at my kitchen table and it's all I can smell. Alternatives to coal tar exist and many states, cities, and counties (including many within Michigan) have banned coal tar with lots more on the way. Neighbors were not notified or consulted prior to Triumph Gym doing this. I'm really sad and disappointed I'll be smelling it and experiencing the associated increased risk of cancer for many years if it's not remediated. Again, this is not a review of the gym itself--this is a comment on their action and the effect it has on their neighbors in this residential neighborhood.

I must begin by saying that I highly recommend Triumph MMA to anyone looking for a place to train and participate in fellowship. The coaches and the people here make this place special. The community atmosphere that exists here makes me happy to go train and learn with each session. I feel that it's especially easy for newcomers to transition into a routine here as it feels very inviting. Thank you to all involved!
Triumph is an amazingly welcoming gym with great coaches and training partners. I have been going for 6 months and I feel like everyone there is family. Highly recommend stopping in for a great workout and training sesh. No judgement here ever. All skills levels welcomed. I was brand new at BJJ walking into the gym and now I can confidently say that I am way better than I was 6 months ago. Do it for your body and your mind. Shout out to Coach Dan and John for being amazing coaches. First week is even free! See ya there.
I've had a great experience here. When you come to classes frequently, you can make some great friends. It's a very welcoming atmosphere and everyone helps each other out if they're struggling with a certain technique, etc. The instructors really know what they're talking about and are very helpful.
I travel a lot for work so have gotten the chance to visit a larger number of schools than most. Dan and his team are a great example of what the jiu jitsu culture is. Warm, inviting, and instructive while still keeping that competitive edge. Give Triumph a try, you won't regret it.
