I've been going to Spartan for about 2 years now. I can say that I've had a great experience there. Coach Tom is incredibly professional and knowledgeable.
The gym is very clean. It's even cleaned between classes. An important point for any visitors wishing to stop in: make sure your shoes are off and placed in the rack near each entrance.
Everyone there is welcoming to any experience level. You don't need to have any experience whatsoever to start.

Spartan has a very welcoming atmosphere, from the coaches down to the students. I came in out of shape and knowing nothing. Everyone is encouraging and patient. I've been going almost 2 months now. The scale is decreasing and I'm finding my movement and conditioning are much better. I recommend this to anyone, regardless of size, wanting to learn a martial art and get in better shape.

I came in from out of town and wanted to do some Jiu Jitsu while up in the St Paul area. The instructor here was very kind and knowledgeable, and everyone else was very welcoming as well. The facility was very clean and spacious too. 10/10 would recommend!

My husband and all three of my sons attend classes at Spartan and we are so happy! Coach Tom and Coach Kelly and the rest of the crew are so welcoming and knowledgeable and generous; they run the gym with a balance of discipline - there is enough discipline to let students know what is expected of them, without being intimidating or instilling fear. The gym is spacious and clean with a variety of class times to fit everybody's schedules. My family highly recommends Spartan!!

I started to take classes a month ago and I can honestly say, that the gym has become a place for me I want to come back again and again. Spartan has unique atmosphere of great coaching and so helpful, respectful teammates. BJJ classes with coach Tom are so interesting, structured and disciplined. If I don't understand something, he always helps me and with his approach of leading the classes, I want to continue to learn. Of course, I would like to mention fitness and kickboxing classes with coach Van. It gives me so much energy! Each class is different, involving physical exercises and martial

I have been really impressed with Spartan. It is difficult to find a gym that combines elite coaching with a small gym approachable (non corporate) feel, but Spartan does just that. My husband appreciates the high level classes and expertise coaching for himself, and we both really appreciate the awesome kids classes for our son. The kids coaches are fantastic at teaching them skills, but more importantly they are just generally really really good with the kids (great for my high energy boy!). The gym is incredibly warm, inclusive, and diverse, allowing for even spectators like me and my younger

From the day I walked in to Spartan in May of 2014 to current I have the same feeling, that this gym is all about the team no one person is above another its all about learning to be and get better. Top notch instructors nothing but pure respect and it trickles right down to the students. I’m glad I literally stumbled into this gym, not only do I consider these guys and girls my teammates many of them I consider my friends. Props and many thanks to ALL the instructors.

Amazing place. I started out going to Spartan for a college PE credit doing bjj in fall 2017. Coach Tom was nice enough to let me attend any class at the gym for the duration of my time at Spartan for school. I attended a few of the morning Muay Thai classes and quickly discovered kickboxing to be one of the most enjoyable/exciting things I’d ever done and I’ve been going as often as possible since.
Coach Tom’s evening and Van’s morning MT classes are both awesome. When I am at Spartan there is no place else I would rather be and I always look forward to my next visit.
