Such an amazing project experience!! Everyone was super friendly! They had separate areas for newer people and more advanced people. The facility was spacious and beautiful! ... Read More 10/10! If you wanna be the best, you gotta train with the best!

I’ve been training at Alliance HQ for the past 3 years since relocating from Colorado, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. With over... Read More 9 years of experience training at various schools, I can attest to the exceptional quality of instruction at Alliance HQ. Professor Leo is a true master of his craft. His attention to detail and dedication to his students’ progress are remarkable, as evidenced by the many world champions he has trained. The other instructors, including Rick, Yusuf, DJ, and Doc, are equally committed and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure everyone understands the techniques. One of the highlights of my week is the Saturday noon class. It’s rare to find such a large and skilled group, with up to 20 black belts on the mats at times, making for both tough and incredibly rewarding training sessions. If you’re looking for high-level jiu-jitsu instruction, Alliance HQ is the place to be!

I have to start by saying that this review pertains only to membership maintenance and billing, not to the trainers at Alliance. In fact, I am extremely grateful for the... Read More introduction to Jiu Jitsu. I've learned a lot, especially from Doug, who is very patient with us beginners. It was a wonderful learning experience for both me and my husband. However, if the owner or manager is reading this, I implore you to hire someone specifically to manage membership and facilitate communication between your members and your billing company. When we signed the contracts, Corey, the main salesperson we spoke with, mentioned that we could pause the membership for a month if our schedule changed. When I needed to pause due to a medical procedure, I was informed that I had to notify him at least a week before the next billing cycle. This was inconvenient as I couldn't manage it myself online; everything had to go through him. I let that slide. A few months later, I had a follow-up procedure and made sure to text Corey early. I received no response or confirmation and was still billed that month. I dismissed it, thinking of it as a contribution to the trainers. The problem intensified after my contract ended. I continued to see charges. When I contacted Corey, he claimed the contract was extended by a month because I had paused it, even though he never confirmed the pause, and I had seen the charges anyway. He said he would look into it but never followed up. Now a few months after our contracts have ended, we've received calls from the billing company threatening to send our account to collections. I've texted Corey again and left voicemails with no response. Having moved out of Georgia, we can't visit the studio in person to locate the right person for escalation. At this point, I am so desperate that I am leaving a Google review in hopes of drawing some attention to this issue. Please apply the discipline you teach in class to other aspects of your business. This situation is ridiculous and nobody should have to endure such issues. I urge the management to immediately address these concerns and implement a more efficient system for handling membership management. Failing to resolve these billing discrepancies not only affects us but also reflects poorly on your otherwise reputable establishment. I am currently considering legal advice to protect our credit, and I hope it won’t be necessary with your prompt attention to this matter. I left a voice mail again just now, please call us back!
