This is the place you want to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from. I trained with Brett and The Lab for over a year before I had to move out of Dedham, and my experience there was nothing short of stellar. The vibe, talent, and people at The Lab are all equally fantastic. I only trained BJJ there, but if you want to learn striking or strength and conditioning training, Brett has ALL the toys. If you are looking for a place to train or learn BJJ in the Dedham area, in my opinion there is no other option. I’d still be there if I hadn’t moved.

Awesome gym! Brett is a great teacher and very patient with all students, regardless of age and experience. Both my kids (4 and 6) are in the kids training program and I am in the adult program. Highly recommended!

I joined the Lab about 7 months ago after trying different gyms all around. It was the best decision i made for myself. The strength and conditioning classes here are amazing, in just a few months i feel the difference and am 100% happier with myself. I feel stronger and can see the improvements. Something ive always wanted in a gym. The trainers here are amazing always making sure im working out properly and keeping me motivated! I was not able to go for the last 10 days due to personal reasons and went back today, im feeling fantastic again! (During the 10 days i was out the owner Brett checked in on me to be sure i was ok , that speaks volumes! ) I love being a part of the Lab. I highly recommend joining!

The head coach of the Lab Brett Oteri is very friendly and welcoming to all people no matter experience level. I have noticed he makes sure to address the concerns of all his students from the lower ranks- higher ranks equally. He genuinely want to see all of his students succeed not only in martial arts but in life.

This place is great! I signed my two sons up for these classes and they absolutely love it. The coaches are amazing and work well with the kids. It is very family oriented, the parents are allowed to sit and watch their children for the entire class. And the prices are very affordable and reasonable! I would definitely recommend to any parent looking to keep their child busy and moving around and also have fun while doing so!

I have been doing BJJ/MMA for 4 years and it is my favorite past time. I’ve been to other gyms in the past, but when I joined The Lab 1 year ago I finally felt at home. Brett and Kristen go above and beyond to make The Lab a safe, clean, educational, and welcoming gym. Brett takes each and every persons needs into account, revamping the schedule as needed, building classes and forming relationships with other gyms, and the list goes on. Bret is beyond attentive to each students needs and learning strategies. If you are looking for a BJJ/MMA gym in the Norfolk county area The Lab is the place to be.

I looked around for BJJ gyms for over a month and had none call me back. The ones that did wanted outrageous prices to start. One email to professor Brett Oteri at the Lab and there was an immediate response. I came in for a free first session and I was hooked. Since joining I’ve got my wife to join, we both go 3-4 times a week. All the experienced members are very willing to help out the newbies. If you are looking for hobby with your significant other or a great place for kids to learn self defense, bring them to the lab!
