Element Gym - Barossa

Negative experience: I wouldn't recommend this place. I, my partner and 4 weeks old baby, went to this business yesterday at 730pm to see what the place is like because we wanted to sign 4 people from our family. I had a correspondence via email with Tom GERLACH (Owner) 2 weeks ago if I can come and see the gym and train, Yesterday I decided to go and I emailed him, he didn't reply so I decided to go at 730 pm for beginners jujitsu class. As I got there, the head coach said to me that it's okay to bring your partner and the baby in, and he said he could check with the owner if you could train today. He texted the owner. At the mean time I asked the head coach that do you want us to leave or stay we can come back some other time, he said to me and my partner you're most welcome to stay and watch as if I get some conformation from the owner. After a few minutes, the owner walked in and said to me and my partner, "You're in private property and trespassing. You need to leave now ." In front of the class. And then he said " It was my day off you've dragged me back to work and have put pressure on my coach, and the he said we get all there weird people walk in and Im protective of my property and also you've come out of business hours, ". And also pointing at a sign in a dark place saying that the board says "no visitors" He can clearly see there is a 4 weeks old baby and my partner can't really see what much of a threat that would be, secondly place says open at 730 pm for classes so it clearly not out of working hours, clearly I didn't see the sign because it's in a dark place and no where in his emails it says you can't walk in or on his website. The coach was really nice and initially said you could stay, but the owner had no manners how to talk to people. Nobody wants to be talked to and their partner rudely, especially when you're holding a 4 weeks old baby. People can just be nice and say sorry. Today is not the right time. Please come back on a certain day . We would've left. I do not recommend this place. If you're looking for a good gym where you'd be respected, go to Cardio Flex or CCMA.

Fantastic experience: Element Jiu Jitsu Barossa is one if not the best place to learn and practice Jiu Jitsu. Great family vibe, friendly and helpful students, great kids program, super educated coaches. Jiu Jitsu is probably the best martial art to learn for self defense, health and fitness in both body and mind, and confidence. Also they have classes in Muay Thai and mma if you want that extra bit of training. Fantastic training facilities. A must place to train
