Tiger Schulmann’s Mixed Martial Arts

Tsk in nanuet, NY is amazing. Joshu has changed this branch drastically from last year. He works tirelessly to not only train, but also instil confidence and discipline in his students. I’m so glad that my son went back to Tsk.

i gained a multitude of weight due to being allergic to medicine and thought, ‘hey, this is a small space. i can hide from prying eyes and lose weight actually doing something instead the latter.’. i went in for the free trial. at first, i was hesitant, and missed my initial sign up day. the owner ended up privately texting my number that i left for the online submit form and continued to do so when i fell sick. i thought two things: it’s nice he cares, and the opposite, he should have emailed me, not texted me personally and directly. i took the class and it consisted of the same. punches in rotation, several kicks. i was winded because i have severe asthma and took a bunch of breaks. there were three things that IMMENSELEY bothered me throughout the one hour work out. number one: the director and owner is nowhere near fit. he preaches he lost weight thanks to this program, but he’s more overweight than every day men i see unless they’re fifty something with three children. that is NOT motivational. two: he couldn’t STOP talking about how he knows the CEO, how he likes to play fight with the founders, how close he is to all of them and what a sense of family he has. i felt like i was in a AA meeting and someone was boasting about his sponsers. it was irritating and i even watched several students roll their eyes because it was annoying to hear over and over and over. i want to be motivated to look and feel good, talk about strength and mental power, not whom you’ve schmoozed with in your life. three: the prices. before i was consulted with the initial fee’s, the director was already shoving a ‘raffle’ of $ 25 down our throats and it made the class awkward. this raffle was for his CEO’s wife that has cancer, etc, WHAT does that have to do with fitness? it made me feel pressured to hand in those $ 25 because i’d be working amongst him. moments later, he brings up a 90-​day challenge for $ 30, where he supplies nutritional facts. something you’d THINK would be included in the upcoming, crazy fee’s. here’s my largest problem out of ALL of this. $ 191 a month to work out for one hour, twice a week. you pay additional for their atrocious looking costume which amounts to an initial $ 241 up front. for two days a week. for an hour each. he tells me he needs a ONE YEAR commitment and i informed him that i cannot, i plan on relocating within less than five months. he looked like he was slapped with a fish and started to sweat. his resolution was that he was going to increase my classes from two times a day, to an eventual three, to four, to five, etc. at first, i thought this was an awesome idea. THEN i found out three classes a week instead of two is $ 234. from $ 191 for two days to $ 234 for three days. when we hit four days a week, that will be what, $ 350? a month? minimum. NOT COMING BACK. there are top of the line brand new gyms right nearby that offer unlimited cycle, zumba classes, yoga, at multiple hours throughout the day and night, open 24/​7, whenever you feel like it. that costs $ 44 a month. i can go unlimited AND bring a friend. not an eventual $ 400+ a month to sweat around horrible music and in an outfit that looks like a cross of an adult diaper and a hospital gown. i don’t need ‘discipline’, i’m not paying all this money for a guy with a napoleon complex to make me bow to him, do as he says, while he never works out with or beside his students for motivation — which would clearly benefit his physique. for all that wasted money i can afford a ripped personal trainer that has a full gym in their own space, doesn’t require me to wear cult outfits, works at my pace with my asthma, and lets me listen to my music. now i understand why i never enrolled on Tiger’s as a child — it’s a sham. their powerpoint presentation made by a five year old on the world’s oldest computer is all to make you constantly dish out cash. more and more cash. if you don’t come in for a class (which is a loss of money for the place), the director will text you and harass you to come in. the ‘only’ excuse not to come in is if you’re sick, not if you’re tired and need a rest. i have a life. i have appointments i can’t miss. with my asthma and my anxiety, i’m taking my plump ass elsewhere. i’m not being demeaned by someone who’s dating someone a decade younger than him — someone my age. his previous instructors class and face looked like she’d slit a throat to end class and go home. i find everything about this place unprofessional and ridiculous. such an incredible sham. i don’t know how they operate besides the little man constantly shoving down your throat that you will lose weight whilst he is nowhere near a role model for my weight loss. never coming here again.
