A.S.D. Team Berardi shows 4.8 from 16 reviews, and its four written reviews, three translated from Italian, describe a small, specialized gym built around calisthenics and self-defense training under one instructor: Riccardo.
Two Disciplines, One Coach
Luca Loru's review, translated from Italian, is the most complete description of what's taught: "Excellent gym! Riccardo is great at teaching, patient and very helpful! Calisthenics and Krav Maga Defense classes! If anyone is interested, you can do a free trial with no obligation!" That's two distinct disciplines - bodyweight strength training and a self-defense system - taught by the same instructor, and I'd flag that combination directly if you're looking for one or the other; this isn't a generalist weights gym.
A Free Trial, Named Directly
Luca's mention of a no-obligation free trial is worth flagging on its own as a concrete, actionable detail - I'd take it as a low-risk way to see whether Riccardo's teaching style and the calisthenics/Krav Maga combination suit you before committing to anything.
Confirmed From a Different Angle
Francesco Laiolo's review backs up the beginner-friendly framing independently: "Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They offer free trials and are very helpful to beginners in their development." Two reviewers, writing separately, both mentioning the free trial specifically and both describing an approach geared toward people just starting out - that's a real pattern, not one person's isolated experience.
Short, Intense Praise
Maria Battaglia's review reads more like a personal message than a typical review: "You were born to fight, and winning is what you manage to convey in your training at all levels. You are one of a kind." Laura Di Guida, translated from Italian, keeps it even shorter: "Finally, the pleasure of doing sport." Neither adds much concrete detail, but both reinforce the same emotional register as the other two reviews - genuine enthusiasm for the instructor's approach, even without listing specifics.
What's Missing
No review states a class price. Nothing describes the physical space - size, equipment, mats. The newest written review is from September 2021, more than four years old now, so current scheduling and whether Riccardo still teaches both disciplines should be confirmed directly.
Who It's Not For
Anyone looking for a general weights-and-cardio gym floor - every review here describes calisthenics and self-defense training specifically, taught by one instructor. Anyone who needs current pricing or a class schedule, since neither appears in the written record.
