Awesome adult and kids classes!! All the coaches are very knowledgeable and friendly. Ive been coming here for years and I love the place. I recently started taking my 6 and 13 year old boys and they love it. The gym has a family friendly vibe . A lot of the kids seem to compete and place, which is a plus. My kids are beginners, one want to compete and one doesnt. Which is fine, the classes are geared to both of the kids wants and needs. Coach Gus has a belt system for kids to get them more involved and wanting to do better. Everyone wants to get stripes and belt up. I strongly recommend

My experience here at 10th Planet Riverside has always been a great one. I started here in 2013 so I have been here for awhile. Ive seen all of the changes over the years to where it has settled now. Great family environment, wonderful place to workout, and a gym just filled with down to earth men and women. Classes are run smoothly and every minute in class is used wisely. Gus is a great instructor and his passion for Jiu Jitsu definitely shines in any class that you take with him. There are classes from 6 in the morning to 6 in the evening as well as other martial arts that include Muay Thai

I may be moving to Riverside soon so I decided to check out 10th Planet Riverside. I attended two classes and was absolutely blown away. Gus the instructor was very friendly and had great instruction. Very attention to detail. The guys on the team were super nice, no egos in the building. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. I tried a few other gyms in the area with good results but 10th Planet Riverside was my favorite.
