I have been coming to this gym almost three years and I can't imagine going anyplace else. The…read moreinstructors each have a different style, which keeps the classes interesting and ensures you don't get bored. There are people in all different stages of fitness at each class and the classes are designed so that you can push yourself more or less, depending on your ability. The classes are always hard, but the difference over time is how much more you can push yourself in each class! When the new owners took over, I really felt a shift: the gym used to be a great and friendly place to workout, now it feels more like a community. All the instructors and the owners really care about the members - they motivate us to work hard, cheer us on when we are doing well, and encourage us when we are not. When there was an influx of members because of a promotion, the management increased the number of classes to match the demand and reserved some of the best classes for those who have long-term memberships. It is such a fun gym, and such a great workout! Thank you Addy and CKO!

My workout here was great, Kwame is a fun and encouraging instructor who organized and ran a fine,…read morechallenging class. The workout room seems clean and well-kept with good equipment and ample bags with adequate spacing for a good sized session. It does feel a bit as if the place is run on the fly or in a casual manner though, I must admit. I signed up for a 7:10 Monday evening class and there was just no one there--doors locked, no explanation, no notice or indication that there was a class listed online that was not taking place. And their website feels a bit wonky and not up to date, so I ultimately had to go in in person to get refunded for the session that I booked and didn't take place and change my password. However, I did eventually get a refund and get to try out a class, which I enjoyed. They have a $10 intro class offer which is a great deal to try it out and see if it's for you. Feels to me like it's perhaps best for Uber local folks who want to make it a primary spot than for drop in classes, fwiw.

While the classes can be challenging, I've found them here to be a mixed bag as far as difficulty…read morelevel. I will say a huge focus at p.volve is technique/form, which I really appreciate. Instructors typically won't hesitate to form correct or assist if you need. Classes involve some unusual equipment including a mat, which takes some getting used to, but I know for some people, this method of exercise works really well for them and I can see that. Try it out for yourself! They usually have good discounts/deals, especially for new students.

This is a nice facility (although they have no showers) but they get an F in terms of newbies to…read morethe class. I was told to arrive 15 minutes early so the trainer could introduce herself and I assumed walk me through the equipment, ask if I have any injuries or issues, and make sure I understand how to use the equipment. none of this happened. I walked in with everybody else - I might as well have been doing it for the 50th time for all she knew. it's very hard to see or hear the instructor bc it's so dark, loud and crowded in there. The equipment is not self-explanatory. She never checked my form once and as a result, I'm sitting here with a very painful wrist, inner left knee and ankle. Hopefully it's just tendinitis or irritated ligaments, but who knows? they make you sign a liability waiver (I see why, now). All of this could've been avoided if I had just gotten a little attention in the class and been shown some modifications for some of the moves. they really need an all beginners class or reserve spots upfront for beginners. at one point I had two sliders under 1 foot which probably contributed to my injury, but I couldn't tell in the dark whether it was one or two. also the weights you lift are soft wrist and ankle weights, and it was very hard to get a good grip on them. They really should have 3lb dumbbells as well.

You pad around barefooted at Epic, with plush mats covering the floor, recalling martial arts…read moreclassrooms. I don't actually know why they make this choice but I really like it. It puts me in touch with my more animalistic self--jumping, rolling and crawling around without footwear is pretty liberating. I've taken dozens and dozens of classes here, and it's a challenging and thoughtful workout every single time. Everytime I come the circuit is different and also very difficult. How does the instructor come up with so many different moves? She's also positive, provides helpful and encouraging form corrections, and keeps our minds occupied while we countdown the seconds until the next exercise. I'm always totally spent by the end of the hour. The playlist is always fire, motivating me to push myself as hard as I can to the tempo of the epic music. I might just become a full fledged member of this gym, it's that great. Thank you Epic for being a part of my fitness journey I look forward to the most.

Pros: Fantastic workout, awesome coach, good people to workout with…read more Cons: I can't walk today and the AC is awful in the studio. Anytime I visit NYC I stop in for a class and every time I remember how great of a workout this is when it kicks my butt. A great mix of exercise, a good emphasis on warmup/cooldown, and the coach is great. I hope they get the ac issue fixed, the studio really gets hit with a ton of people. Will definitely be back when I've recovered from this great workout.

I took the Saturday noon circuit session with Tania. It was my first time and she came over at…read moreevery exercise and reminded me what it was and helped me make sure I was doing it correctly. The circuit class had six stations so after every change, I forgot what the exercise was but she was there to quickly run through it with me. She was also very encouraging. At the end of the class she mentioned of a competition day that was open to everyone. The space has nothing but a water fountain, lockers, bathroom, sanitizer and cleaning wipes for the machine, no towels, shower or amenities. I enjoy Metcon (5min exercise - 1min rest) and the variety of it all. The class went quickly and id definitely do the class again. It was my first time working out in a while and i could keep up. Would give it 5 stars but lack of amenities is a big bummer.

Part of the challenge is to speak to a nutritionist, that breaks appointments. This way they don't have to pay you because you did not speak to the nutritionist, even though their nutritionist broke the appointment. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS 16 WEEK CHALLENGE!!!!! When i canceled my membership they decided to hit me $1,000 cancelation. No one to speak to and nobody really cares. STAY AWAY!!! can't say it enough.

I've been to two boot camps this year in NYC. The first one, I injured myself to the point that I…read moream STILL visiting the chiropractor for adjustments. The other one was so light that I barely feel like I worked out at all. Phoenyx Fitness has been THE BEST one I have attended so far. For one, this truly is a "at your own pace" workout. My biggest grips with previous classes is that they either killed you and if you weren't prepared too damn bad, no pain no gain. The other was just you can work at your own pace but the instructor set such a low pace that it wasn't very challenging . You definitely get your money's worth with Malenna and the awesome instructors at Phoenyx (I've had most exposure with Kaelynn - sp?). I also started this in the summer so the classes are outdoors. The bad news is - it's rain or shine. the good news is, the classes keep you on your toes with differentiating workouts AND parks. I love when they are held on the UWS for selfish reasons (ha ha). The class runs by so quickly that before you know it, the hour is up. I especially love the 6 am classes - by 7 am you are completely done for the day. That is totally cool.

Bought a 6-week challenge through Groupon and had amazing results. I not only lost 12 pounds, but I…read morealso became stronger. I started to lose fat in areas not only in areas around my back and arms but most importantly my muffin top. Needless to say, Kenny and his team are incredible. Not only was the trainers motivating and yet tough love to push you to your very best, but the other class-takers were also encouraging. A great community of people who treated each other like family to cheer you on! The bootcamps and personalized group training classes are only 30 minutes long, so by the time they kick your butt, the class is over and you don't have time to hate it. Every class is different, but engage every part of your body. Shoutout to Eric for creating that nice booty and showing me exercises that I normally would be afraid of at the gym (i.e. assisted pull-up, barbell squat)! Shoutout to Kenny who was 110% with you throughout the whole process from observing your daily food logs to challenging you as you progress.

Kenny strictly adheres to corona best practices. We work out in a large space and are socially distant. We wear masks and wipe everything down. I feel safe and am so grateful I can exercise without worrying about this. I've never been great at working out and I've learned how to do things I'd only previously watched men do that the gym. In 2 months, I've seen excellent results. I am strong (lifting more weight than I ever thought I could!!) and have lost weight. This is just 2 months in and I'm so excited to see where I'll be in 6. Lastly, Kenny makes these workouts I never thought I could do easy. Somehow, when he's coaching you, you forget the pain of what you're doing. No workout is ever the same and it's always kept interesting. He's got a gift and my body is benefitting from it big time!
