The Fhitting Room

I’m obsessed with this place, and wish I could afford to go more than my monthly Classpass membership allows!
I’m a spin junkie and was hesitant the first time I tried Fhitting Room and could barely do a squat. This place is amazing. The instructors are always on point, encouraging and funny and friendly, and while I’m not one of the regulars I always feel welcome and involved.
Worth checking out!

Now I know why it’s so hard to get a spot here on ClassPass!
Fhitting Room blew me away, honestly. I felt wimpy coming in but the trainers Faruk and another guy (forgot his name) were fun, encouraging, and demonstrated all the movements. The experience was fun and the atmosphere was friendly but not aggressive or competitive, which is very important to me.
Signature FHIX is basically HIIT style circuits with TRX, boxes (can jump or step), body weight exercises, rowers, kettlebells, squats (different types), etc. Everything was challenging but felt doable for me – someone who works out 3x a week.
The studio is beautiful and clean. I would take off half a star for the lack of showers, though. I would consider buying a package here because I am frequently in this neighborhood but I really need to shower before moving on with my day so that I can look presentable. I will be back occasionally for more classes though!

5 stars for workout but 4 stars for the price. I’ve decided to change up my routine and purchased classes at The Fhitting Room. Already had 3 classes and loved it! Every class was different. I had no idea what type of exercise to expect and in which order and it made the class fly by. I do kickboxing (2 years) as my main form of exercise and thought the class would be a breeze. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Classes were challenging in the cardio department. Have to mention that another reason I joined was because I felt like I needed more work with weights. I hate weight lifting but the use of kettlebells and free weights during classes made me feel like I’m actually doing weight training that was not tedious but fun. Trainers are friendly and my form was corrected a few times. Would have loved more personal attention and encouragement though. I’m definitely an attention whore when it comes to trainers. LOL And place is super clean. I loved that! Note: They have an option to purchase 2 classes for the price of one. I did that before committing to a package deal. It it pricey? Yes. Wish classes were 1 hour in stead of 50min.

The Fhitting Room is the best fitness studio. The classes are hard, but so addicting, you have to come back for more. I have never experienced a group of fitness instructors that are simply the best. Daury, Eric, Simon, Julia, Amanda, Dennys and Dara are just so fun and helpful that the class goes by so quickly! Starting my day with The Fhitting room is a must! I have met great friends during my classes which makes it so much fun! Great vibe!

Was my first time trying a crossfit studio– really liked the setup and was an excellent workout! Also the studio is nicely air conditioned and very clean. The only reason i give it 4 stars is bc at that price point I’d expect it to have showers.

Sadly, I feel this place has gone downhill since my review. Once the 80^th Street location closed this one has had packed classes of 25 people and the vibe is now totally changed. Even with 2 instructors there is little individual attention given in a class of 25. There are numbered spots so you know where to stand in the room but still feels cramped.
No showers here and they just raised their rate to a $ 38/​class which I feel is no longer reasonable. This makes it one of the most expensive in NYC and it’s not even a full hour class. This studio has become too much of a «factory» which makes me sad.

Took a class with Carlos /​Julia. Great workout, funny instructors. There are no showers in this location.

Quite possibly my favorite workout in NYC, and I bounce around quite a bit. The workouts are impeccably designed, always the right amount of variety and a good amount of difficulty (kicks my as* every time, but isn’t so impossible that I dread going). The music is solid and loud enough to motivate. The tools — kettlebells, rowers, ski ergs, bikes, TRX, weights, etc. — are top notch. But, I really think it is the instructors that put it over the top. Every single instructor is motivating, friendly, has great form, and seems overall awesome. There are many other studios I love in the city, but I can’t say that any other has such consistently wonderful instructors. If you like interval training, HIIT, bootcamps, etc., give this a try!

Was looking for a cross training routine from my yoga classes, and a friend recommended The Fhitting Room. Great recommendation!
Trainers here are energetic, fun, motivating. They don’t scream for you to push harder but they do encourage you to go past your comfort zone. The exercises are always varied. Muscles that are frequently forgotten are put to work in these classes. The strength training has definitely helped improved my yoga practice.

This is the most intense workout I’ve come across, and I’ve tried most of the boutique fitness studios across the city. I work out several times per week and consider myself in decent shape however, I was STRUGGLING through my first workout! I have a feeling it gets easier once you keep coming back and are more familiar with the exercises they utilize and correct form. I must say, the staff was helpful and Dennys was EXCELLENT. I was clearly overwhelmed and needed a little guidance and his warm smile, jokes and pointed tips put me at ease right away. For that reason alone I would come back. Because unfortunately, I don’t know if I just came on an off day, the rest of my classmates had a major attitude problem (thought they were training olympic athletes?). The workout was challenging and I’m definitely sore– I’ll be back!

Fantastic workout — I first checked it out via ClassPass about a year ago and had been turned off by a class I took with Java at their now-​closed E.80^th location. I finally started signing up for classes again this month and have loved it. I took one class with Simon and Eric, and another with Julia and Daury — both combos of instructors were awesome and attentive to form, which I really appreciated. We were constantly moving in HIIT circuits and doing as many reps as possible within a certain period of time. The classes are constantly changing and the routines so far have been different each time. Looking forward to getting my next Fhix soon!
Tips: Bring a water bottle as they have a fountain, or you can buy one there. Also, they provide a small towel, and their lockers are digital, so no lock necessary. No showers though.

I can’t say enough good things about The Fhitting Room. I’ve been going there a couple of times a week (on average) for just under 6 months and have seen great results. I thought I was in decent shape from a lot of cycling/​spinning when I went the first time, but still found it tortuously hard. after 3 – 5 classes though, I noticed I was starting to get better at things and that’s when it became an enjoyable a**-kicking that leaves you feeling accomplished at the end. I was hooked from seeing results. Since then, I’ve lost weight, gotten stronger all over, and absolutely LOVE the instructors. They’re all consistently great and the facility couldn’t be better (I live closest to the Penthouse location, but its also my favorite). But they’re wecloming too, so don’t be scared to give it a try just because its hard. Definitely recommend going, and going back after you limp out the first time!
