Companion — the member app for modern gyms

New Product

Companion

The member app we built and run every day at The Grapple Mill — now available for other gyms that want the same operating rhythm without bolting together five different tools.

Members book classes, follow the weekly syllabus, manage Stripe memberships, and get push reminders from their phone. Coaches approve members, take attendance, publish curriculum, and run the floor from one place. Installable as a PWA, with passkeys after first sign-in.

Built on the mats. Ready for gyms like yours.

Michael Pixley seminar postponed announcement

Seminar Update

Michael Pixley Seminar Postponed

It is with genuine disappointment that we announce Michael Pixley's seminar, scheduled for Tuesday 16th June, has unfortunately been postponed.

Due to unforeseen personal circumstances, Michael has had to cancel his entire UK trip, including a number of seminars and super fights.

Out of respect for his privacy, we won't be discussing the details — but what we will say is that this is a difficult situation for him both personally and professionally. For many athletes at Michael's level, competing, teaching seminars and travelling are not hobbies; they are their livelihood. Everyone at The Grapple Mill is incredibly grateful for Michael's professionalism throughout this process, and we want to publicly wish him and his family all the very best.

New date secured: Monday 21st September.

Real feedback from The Grapple Mill community.

★★★★★

"Absolutely lovely people. Josh is brilliant. Lovely place with plenty of space. My son started from opening and is having an absolute ball. For the money it is outstanding and the kids are so well looked after. I would definitely encourage kids to attend. My son is very picky and does not seem to last anywhere, but he absolutely loves this place. Thanks so much Josh, you're the best."

"Great place, the atmosphere is great and the mat space is huge. I am a beginner and they have been really accommodating. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough. Great place for learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling."

"This gym has become family. No one cares more about Jiu-Jitsu or the well-being of their students more than Josh!"
