    A-OK... I am between 3 or 4 stars. I will complete the 20…read moreclasses I bought through groupon but I am extremely disappointed in the fact that they pressure you into buying a pair of gloves. The groupon deal said that it is a $40 for 20 classes that is awesome but the catch is you must buy a $25 pair of gloves from the site itself which is "half-off" because you're a newbie due to liability issues. It doesn't make any sense because I signed a waiver form saying they are not responsible for any damages to my own body -- i.e. if I injure myself. They said gloves are not covered by their insurance which I thought was a little uhh okay. I brought my own gloves that were exactly the same, though smaller and fit my hands better. I didn't have a choice because I want to complete the 20 classes! argh!! So I ended up dropping $65 for 1 - 2 months of classes! The class itself is taught by one of two teachers -- Master Paul and Carlos. Carlos had some great workout routines and I was sweating my ass off for the hour in class (but it was also like, 80,000 degrees in there). Have yet to attend Paul's class. This is NOT a place to go if you want to really learn to do kickboxing and are in serious shape. Master Paul let me know that this was a martial arts school that offers kickboxing as a fitness class. Form and technique aren't really taught here unless you're taking a class with M. Paul. This is a basic course for people who need to pay money to have someone push you into working out for a good hour (like me at the moment because I like to lie around my house and eat chips). Go For It Kickboxing is a GREAT STARTER course if you are not in shape or a SUPPLEMENTARY course if you're lifting without cardio (i hate cardiooo). My ex was a workout freak, inspired me to do general kickboxing for a year, switched to muay thai for 2 where I worked out for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week. Fast-forward to now and haven't sweat seriously for a year, and now need to tone and gain weight since I'm 110lbs of skin and bone. GO FOR IT! They are a fab team and you meet some friendly people. You def will lose weight and tone up!

    Horrible! I purchased a package of 30 classes and told me I can used them any time no explanation…read more Paid $500! I had an accident and after I recovered I try to go back and the owner told me they were closing and had to file bankruptcy. I asked for my money back and he refused. They just told me to talk to other locations which one is ozone park (which I can't travel all the way there) and beg them to take me there. I hope they never NEVER open this place and if you decide to go to another location be carful do not pay at front any package. I'm disgusted for this behavior.

    Such an awesome gym! I trained here regularly for about 1.5 years all together. Every class you are…read morepushed to your edge in intensity. You constantly work on new skills and techniques. Every class is different. No two are really the same. Even when I would attend two on the same day, what would be worked on would vary. I got to meet some really great people during my time there. You bond over your time on the mats together and there is a connection that is felt between all (at least that is my take on it). Even though it went unstated; it was there. Even between those whom I hadn't really interacted much with. . . The common thread of Sitan gym had woven us all together. Aziz has to have some of the best energy I've encountered. He is always quick to smile and slow to frown. He would bring his daughters in often (and his wife trains in the classes as well). This really made for a beautiful feeling of family that spread outwards. I learned so much when I was there. Got to train with those who had never thrown a punch before - all the way up to true fighters. All the while watching my own abilities increase exponentially. . . When I started there I was in the former group, with little martial arts experience before. By the time I was about to move from the area I had quite a few others ask me if I was thinking of fighting myself.

Along side some friends and with the help of Kalus I was able to feel comfortable in my own skin again. Pao's class will having you wish you never had that donut or pizza! Hahah CFC is a small, clean, high energy, latin owned gym that helped me every step of the way. Love this place! Only thing I hate is how far they are from me..you need to open up a gym in Manhattan!!!! I am looking forward to returning once my newborn is a little older.

    **TRIGGER WARNING**…read more I had PT at courage fitness for a year. It wasn't until a few months in that Klaus sexually assaulted me. In the bathroom, alone in the building he told me to pull my pants down, he said "oh look you got a banana" which he used to describe the bend under my butt. He had measured me in my underwear before, it was kept professional in the past and I didn't feel uncomfortable. I trusted him, he was my trainer for a year and he monitored how my body was changing. This time was different though. This time he asked "Can I spread your butt cheeks?" Shocked, I immediately responded "absolutely not!" Still unsure if he was kidding and I just didn't get the joke. He wasn't. I felt him suddenly jerk my butt cheeks apart as I screamed louder "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO " and felt him lick me. I turned around abruptly and he said "I'm hard do you want to see?" I said NO! and pushed my way out. I was in complete shock. I STILL stayed and finished my work out. Something that will haunt me for the rest of my life. I'll never understand why I was more concerned about making him feel rejected then I was for my self (something that he used when pleading not guilty.) He clenched his fists together and begged me not to tell my friend, who also went to him. Not "don't tell the cops" not "don't tell my fiancé who owns the place", don't tell my friend... In retrospect it's very obvious he was planning to do the same to her. It's easy to say why would you go alone in the bathroom with a man and pull your pants down... but I didn't think of it that way. Looking back the signs were all there. Inching past me and rubbing his dick against my leg, which I always thought was a result of the tight quarters of the gym. Holding my body to "help" me with my push ups. I recall him actually texting my friend "I'm going to lick your ass this week" instead of "kick" which we all laughed off as a result of auto correct. You can call me dumb, you can call me naïve or too trusting but this isn't about me this is about what HE did when he heard me screaming NO! I was yelling "no no no no no no no" like a doctor was about to give me a shot, I wasn't prepared for. The feeling and shock of wetness between my butt. The confusion and self hatred that followed. The feeling I was always going to bump into him in my neighborhood. Always trying to look ahead to make sure we weren't on the same block, in the same restaurant. Having to break my lease and move away from my friends. I drove past the gym sometimes and would feel like I was going to vomit, seeing the lights on, knowing there were still women alone with him in there and there was nothing I could do. Not even a yelp review. The DA said if I did, it could affect the trial. I went on my honeymoon shortly after, looking back on the pictures I recall how crushed I was as a person and how desperately I tried to live in the moment. My husband slapped my butt while I walked up the stairs, while we were there, and it resulted in me having a panic attack. Whaling in hysterics with my face buried in a pillow. I felt like I couldn't breathe, the unfriendly reminder of feeling touched and not seeing it, jolted me back to that place. I'm still not over it. He had the nerve to plead not guilty and every month at my new job I had to tell them I might have to use my "vacation days" bc I didn't want to say I had to testify at my own sexual assault trial. The fear of facing a jury who didn't believe me, when I have no reason to lie. There was no money, I didn't need to look bad at a new job, I didn't want to break my lease and move all my things. All I wanted was one thing and that was for him to not be alone with women, so this wouldn't happen to anyone else. The trial is over now, he finally pled guilty and I can "move on" but I know I'm not alone. If you're reading this I enCOURAGE you to go to the police and tell your story. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

    I highly recommend Unlimited Body NY, especially Danny's massage therapy and strength-training…read moreclasses. I had a leg injury and visited a chiropractor several times, but my progress was very slow. After only three deep-tissue massage sessions with Danny, I noticed a significant improvement and was able to gradually return to my normal activities. I have also had a great experience with Danny's strength classes. In the past, I attended Orangetheory and was injured several times because the trainers were not always able to notice or correct improper form. Danny gives each person individual attention and takes the time to correct posture and technique. Since training with him, I have been able to build strength without getting injured. His training also improves mobility, balance, and the movements we use in everyday life. The singing class is another great addition. The instructor is very dedicated, patient, and genuinely invested in helping each student improve. I'm also very excited that the studio is now offering Pilates reformer classes at an affordable price. It is wonderful to have access to so many high-quality fitness and wellness services in one welcoming place. Danny and his team are knowledgeable, attentive, and truly care about their clients.

    Unlimited Body has been part of my fitness journey since 2018. I love the variety of classes…read more Zumba, barre, mat pilates, step, Hit classes, yoga, hip hop and more. The owner Daniel creates a warm and friendly environment. All the instructors are experienced and truly great! Teresa's barre and pilates classes are #1. Talia's zumba class is fun! If you love zumba you must try it! Amanda, the receptionist is always there to assist everyone. She is sweet and polite. We appreciate everything she does for us!

This is going to be an excellent review, but before I tell you why I hold this place in high esteem, let me give you some background. I'm in my 30s, overweight, sedentary, and not used to being around "workout culture", if you know what I mean. I was nervous that I wouldn't really fit in, that I would be left behind in the dust of others who are physically fitter than I, and didn't really know what to expect. However, everyone here is extremely friendly and supportive - not just the staff, who are amazing and knowledgeable, but also the students. The instructors are patient, personable and provide great motivation without shaming you. The workouts are fun and well thought-out. This is more expensive than a gym membership, but it is also so much more rewarding. You really feel like you're part of a family when you train here, and, as for me, I am motivated to keep coming back! They also have classes for kids, and from what I've seen (I'm not a parent but have caught the tail end of some classes before my workout), the kids look like they're having an awesome time!

    Really expensive, $180 per month (if you don't want to commit to thousands by purchasing 300…read morelessons) plus $4 for boards to break once a week. Then add the tournaments @ $50-70 a pop, plus boards again. Once you get over the $$$, and it's hard... The school is wonderful! Best money I could have ever spent!

    Dishonest: They try to keep their exorbitant tuition a secret until you take a bunch of lessons…read more The school is located in a basement by the N train Ditmars stop. I was greeted by a nice girl who agreed to let me watch the lesson in session. She refused to answer my question regarding the cost for classes, and insisted I would be provided with this information after I take 2 trial classes, so they can asses my abilities and assign me to the "right program". The class I watched had three students and two instructors, both black belt dan 2 (that's relatively low compared to other places). The students definitely got personal attention, but the instructors level/forms were not impressive. Maybe they were having a bad day. On the way out, the girl at the front desk asked if I want to sign up for the trial class. I was interested, but wanted to know what the tuition would be. I explained that I don't want to come for two trial classes if the tuition is beyond my budget. All she would say is that it would cost somewhere between $110-150/ month. When I asked how the tuition is calculated she repeated her whole spiel about the trial classes assessing what "program" I need. she could not explain what programs exist nor what the differences between them are. I started to loose my patients. I was sensing a scam. It became clear to me that she wouldn't give the prices for a reason. I asked her if I can speak with the owners, since I don't think they would want to loose a client just because she wouldn't tell the prices. The girl behind the counter gave up at this point and summoned her co-worker who was overhearing the conversation. The second girl was more helpful, but still would not provide prices. Only after I told her I'd walk out if they don't cut the bull, the truth came out. Two lessons a week, cost $180/ month in a month by month payment plan! No wonder they were so fanatical about keeping this exorbitant price a secret. Who in their right mind would pay $180 at this place?!
