I’ve been attending this kickboxing school for over a year now, and it has become the best work out decision I’ve ever made. I used to go to the gym 5 – 7 days a week and even hired a personal trainer, but didn’t receive the results that I have achieved at
. Yes, their monthly fee is more than any New York Sports club and is comparable to an Equinox monthly membership. I have come to the conclusion that every single penny of my monthly membership is completely worth it. The instructors are great, get you pumped up and will encourage you to challenge yourself. I have made wonderful friends while taking classes here and I love how everyone keeps each other motivated to keep pushing through the class. I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight taking classes here; gained muscle tone and become more defined. My 5+ years with a regular gym membership hadn’t done what these classes have done in just a few months.

I have been taking classes here for about 4 months and always look forward to my next workout. The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. The classes are fun and the workouts are challenging but not difficult for a new student. I recommend these classes for anyone looking to get in shape and have fun doing it while accomplishing your personal fitness goals.

This month marks my one year anniversary at this
location. Joining was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I love the workouts and instructors. Both keep me motivated, my mind and body is being challenged at each workout. As someone who has been active most of my life, kickboxing has changed my life and how I work out. It helped with my anxiety and depression. I love the structure and intensity of workouts, other members became great friends. Each instructor has something different to offer and I enjoy working with every single one of them. I leave each class with a big smile!
Location couldn’t be better for me since I love one block away.
Couple of improvements I would suggest: the place needs more new bags ! Also, sometimes classes get way too packed.
Overall, kickboxing is a fantastic workout and staff at this location makes it fun and challenging.

I bought a package on Groupon to try kickboxing and loved it after one class. I’ve been going to classes for a month and have already noticed a difference in how I feel. The staff is great, the classes are fun and the workouts are intense.

I just started kickboxing here a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! I started out just by buying the 3 classes and free gloves deal, but after the first class I knew right away this was something I wanted to continue. I’m a member now and look forward to classes every week! It’s a workout not only physically but also mentally. You feel so much exhilaration and freedom afterwards, like you just did something great for you! The teachers at this school really keep you motivated and make sure you leave satisfied with the class. They’ll come by to you individually and mentor you so that you don’t develop bad habits. They make you feel good about being there!

Best kickboxing school in the world !!!
Amazing high energy classes that will get u into the best shape of ur life !

This class was my introduction to the power of group workout whilst also embedding yourself with a useful muscle memory that may aid you if you ever get jumped. On a good day the workouts are amazing and you develop a sense of family with those members chugging alongside you. It feels great to come in to see smiling faces that make you look forward to working out (a tremendously difficult task).
There are however quite a few cons to this place. The facility itself is marginal even with their expanded room. It is carpeted and retains a muggy smell. No matter how much spray they attempt it will not diminish it. The bags are old and you can sometimes injure yourself if you hit it in a specific spot (which they sometimes mark with an X) You always have 2 people working per bag and sometimes even 3. 2 is acceptable but 3 is most certainly not. Having 2 ppl on a bag does diminish your workout a bit and reduces the benefits that you gain if you were alone on a bag. Endurance will not improve at the rate it should since you constantly rest for your partner to go.
The instructors are usually good. However they lack consistency. You can go one day and have an amazing intense workout and the next you feel like you did nothing. They vary the workouts and some are better than others. Usually corrections are not made till you have already developed a bad habit and then you have to try to break it. This is due to a lack of attention paid to each student. Students can very often be overlooked.
They maintain their record keeping in the most prehistoric way. A card check. Their entire admin system needs a boost into the future. In this age things need to be alot more efficient. I could not even obtain a copy of my contract electronically after asking on numerous occasions. The staff will help when they can and they are generally ok to deal with.
I have had issues where on my recommendation of the place my friend who became a member was turned away from a workout because of tardiness which was not made aware to anyone. This matter was poorly handled and made both my friend and I rethink this facility.
There are many problems associated with this place but there are also many advantages. The location is prime for all the Forest Hillians. The workouts are fun and enjoyable. They cater to more advanced students and mix things up for them. The people are always friendly and you get used to a fun environment with your workout pals.
If you have another location close to you check it out but if not, this place isn’t half bad even with the cons.

I bought a groupon for $ 50 and it came with 10 classes and a free pair of gloves. I was a tad bit disappointed that I didn’t receive my free gloves on the first day, but they told me that I would get my gloves the next time I came in, which was true. They stuck a post it with my name on the gloves. That’s great customer service right there.
Also, after my first and second class I honestly expected them to ask me to sign up for one of their class packages and try to pressure me into buying a package which I’d probably regret. But I have to say, they actually told me to try it a little bit more before they talked to me about feedback and any packages. Perhaps the previous comments on Unilocal did pay off. For those that are scared to join a gym for that reason, just don’t bring any form of payment and nobody can pressure you into buying anything no matter how enticing it may sound.
The classes and instructors are fun and challenging. There seems to be one instructor and 1 – 2 other people that work there walk around to assist you with form and your breathing technique. After each intense workout, they make you feel welcomed by giving a fist bump. The instructor in both of my classes go around and ask everyone individually how they like the class.
I’m honestly blown away from the niceness of the staff there. A+ overall.
Each class starts on time and lasts for exactly 1 hour.

I bought this class from Groupon. First class was easy because I’m new. Hell started when I finished the class. The instructor came to push me HARD to sell membership. If you don’t buy membership, they do this
* I had to call to register a class (yes, you have to call), they refused to put me in weekends class because class is full.
* if you registered a class finally, they pushed you to come the classes 2 – 3,4 times a week and pushed over and over again. They are like money hungry gym and treat big different members and non members.
* Then you had to confirm the class you registered (yes non members had to confirm) but they NEVER pick up your phone and no answering machine.
I’ve been many Gyms around NY, this is the worst worst gym ever.

I just recently started taking kickboxing classes here and absolutely love it! The workouts are awesome and really push you to the max. The staff/​instructors are all great … super friendly, encouraging, motivating, and helpful. Class times are convenient and frequent. I definitely recommend.

Sensei Bill and his staff teach an excellent class. Sensei provides positive words and instructions. I received a very good work out and felt a sense of accomplishment upon completion. I recommend this class for those who want to let off some steam, refocus or just shed some excess water weight.

This place has been great for me. I’m 61 and not in the best shape, but the instructors here have been extremely helpful and supportive. If I’m unable to perform an exercise as shown, they also give me a way to modify it. There are all levels that attend the afternoon session, which can be very motivating. It’s given me more stamina, confidence and strength. Thank you.

I take kickboxing here and the staff have become my family’s mentors. I’ve lost weight and in better shape now! My son takes both karate and kickboxing. He can’t wait to come to class! That motivation and discipline spills over into other aspects of his life.
All levels can participate without feeling as if one is behind or lacking. Come and join!

I really loved the kickboxing classes, great workout, extremely fun, with blood pumping music which makes exercising super fun. Most of the class exercises focuses on cardio combinations, which really helped me lose weight without boring myself to death.
The instructors really spread out and pay close attention to each student throughout the class, making sure you’re using the correct form and encouraging you to class as you’re breaking a sweat. Oh and you get free boxing gloves when you register.
Why we stopped going? Since my friend bought me 10 classes through Groupon, they did try to push me for a membership. I understand that businesses need to survive, but they really went hard on guilt tripping us to commit outside of class. We felt quite pressured to enroll on the spot and we eventually stopped coming for the remainder 3 sessions because we felt like we were judged as freeloaders.
Regardless, if you attend class you’ll enjoy the workout. Its small, but honestly, you’ll appreciate how much smaller classes provide higher quality.
