We have designed this facility to promote healthy lifestyles and an integrated community by helping individuals like you discover your most excellent self. We believe that Judo is an exceptional vehicle to achieve this aim, but we also offer classes in tai chi, yoga, kids' fitness and nutrition and personal weight training and sports-specific weight training.

                     

Our goal is to create a micro community based on health and fitness for ages 6 to 106. Because exercise is hard work, we strive to create class offerings that are FUN, to keep you looking forward to coming back to visit us. To help you reward yourself and your hard working muscles, we also offer an Infrared sauna and massage therapy. Changing rooms and a shower help usher you back into the civilized world.

                       
To supplement your physical education, a media center is available with books and DVDs set in our comfortable lounge, to absorb or simply to unwind. Grass Valley Judo & Fitness limits the number of its members and classes sizes in order to provide a comfortable atmosphere and provide the individual attention you deserve. 

Our organization aims to remove some of the boundaries to a healthy lifestyle by making our memberships affordable. We don't have hidden fees, sign-up fees or mandatory contracts.  Our non-profit organization Judo America Foundation is set up to help families that are truly in need. Half of the profits from Grass Valley Judo & Fitness go directly to Judo America Foundation. 

Our facility offers:

We welcome book requests; just drop your suggestion in our suggestion box. Our selection of Judo DVDs includes instructional and competition videos, including footage from the 1964 Olympics when Judo first became an Olympic sport. In addition, high speed internet is available for your use.

Workout Area Our 1200+ square foot mat area includes genuine tatami Swain mats and a built in crash pad. A raised platform floor allows additional cushioning for Judo falls. When the mat cover is on, wrestling or work-out shoes are allowed on the mat.

InfraRed Sauna Our far infrared sauna is available for member use, which works by penetrating the body to create heat and increase blood flow to the muscles, delivering more oxygen, which helps heal and prevent injuries. This type of sauna is known for its health benefits through detoxification and is especially important for the elderly, who may have conditions preventing sweating through more rigorous exercise.

Massage Therapy Our on-call massage therapists offer on-site chair massages.  We also have a private massage room for full body massages - by appointment only.
