If you live downtown, there's no more convenient a place to train than OpenMat's location only steps from Wellesley Station. Head instructor, founder and BJJ black belt Elliott Bayev prides himself on creating a positive and enthusiastic energy for every class. With 2500 square feet of mat space, there's plenty of room to roll or strike. It has fully padded walls, heavy bags, boxing equipment and a full weightlifting facility. The wall inside the gym says, “We're here to make the world a better place” – a motto that perfectly encapsulates the vibe. Wheelchair Accessible: No.
