Where do I begin? First and foremost I've never been one to review anything in my life. As a matter…read moreof fact this might be my first and last review! If something sucked I would just never go back or if I loved it I would just rave about it, but this is totally different! It's life changing so I just had to! I'm sorry for the length but you have to read this until the end! Weight has always been a sensitive topic for me! I've never been that "skinny girl" even though I've played sports and even lifted weights in high school. But last year was it for me. I turned 34 and hit my ultimate high of 203lbs standing at a mere 4'11" inches tall. Needless to say I looked like a meatball. I was borderline liver cirrhosis and I had a ton of other issues that are no longer. I was depressed and knew I had to do something! Slowly but surely I tried and lost a bit of weight but plateaued immediately and became discouraged! One day as I was getting the inspection of my car done at Jerry and Sons on Bronxdale I decided to walk around the block for "cardio" and saw my cousin who I hadn't seen in years working out. I said hi and realized she looked so different. Her body was changing. All of a sudden Thomas steps out and introduces himself! He told me to come to the gym and try it out and he guaranteed that I wouldn't regret it and boy I have to say and I'll put it in bold letter just for him "THOMAS M. YOU WERE RIGHT!" Every since my journey at Untamed Studio began on July 4th, of this year I've laughed, I've cried, and have all types of emotions! But you Thomas M. are an absolute God sent, a blessing, and a life changer!!!! I cannot begin to explain the appreciation and gratitude I have for you, YOU SIR HAVE changed my life! It's amazing because through the much hated burpees, the kettle bell swings, and pull-ups you have been much more than a personal trainer, you've been a motivator, and one of the key elements to my accomplishments! I will forever be indebted to you! I plan to keep you around forever or as long as you can tolerate me! Thomas M. my life will never be the same because of you! Thank you for being selfless, following your dreams, and thank you for caring as much as you do! To the others who have been part of my journey at Untamed Studio, John G. (Co-founder) and Ardi N., I also want to thank you for being such amazing people! I urge anyone who is sick and tired of living a poor quality of life to take a step into the Untamed Studio, I guarantee you your life will never be the same!

I began training at Untamed Studio on July 4th at my friends urging. To say that I was reluctant…read more(and scared) would be an understatement. However, I found myself there at 8am, looking in the mirror and wondering how I had gotten there. How had I let my body take over control to the point where I no longer recognized the person looking back at me? The hard work began that very day and I have not looked back since.   While I have encountered a few of the trainers over the past two months, this review is specifically for our personal trainer, Thomas M. (also co-founder and owner of the Studio). He has been a source of strength for me and I will forever be grateful to him for his tough love in the gym but also for his words of encouragement on days that I felt that I could no longer move forward. He constantly stays by our side during our workouts, fixes our form and makes sure we are doing the exercises correctly to limit the chance of injury.   The gym has a plethora of classes and trainers to satisfy anyone no matter what your physical goal. There are personal training opportunities as well as group bootcamp classes. Alongside Thomas, John G. is the other co-founder and owner of the Studio. He is an added layer of support and serves as very needed comedic relief. Another trainer we were introduced to was Ardi N. who covered one of Thomas' sessions. He didn't skip a beat and trained us as if we were his own, regular clients. The degree of care behind keeping a client on schedule speaks to the professionalism and commitment of the Untamed team. Your body and your mind will be pushed to places it has never been before. There are days when you feel damn proud of yourself and there are days when you want to drop your equipment and walk out. However, the one consistent thing is the unwavering support from the trainers at this gym.  It's remarkable what a little squeeze of the shoulder and a simple, "come on, you got this" will do for you.   If you are genuinely ready to change your life, leave your ego at the door and put in hard work, sweat and the occasional tears, this is the place for you. Thank you Untamed Studio and specifically Thomas M. for helping me find the strength I never knew I had and quite simply, for changing my life mentally and physically.

Have you ever wanted to lift weights and not know how to or where to start? Ever thought of having…read morea "gym" family? Well...here's the place where not only will you know what to do and improve but, you'll have great team of members supporting and chanting for you! I walked in these doors not knowing what I signed up too and I am so happy I took a chance and put my fears to the side and challenged my body both physically and mentally. I really love this place and I mean it. The coaches are experienced, supportive and encouraging. Serge is the reason why I am still a member! He makes it worthy and believes in you and that is the driving fuel you'll need.

I started 1 year ago with a row class with coach Ian. Almost passed out (I was sitting 220lbs gaining 60 being pregnant.) I only took the clsss 3x a week. I slowly added mash up classes and weights. One year later and friends later I'm 149 and stronger than ever. They have the best coaches that'll make you laugh cry, push you and challenge you.

This is hands down my favorite Better Body Bootcamp location. The trainers here are some of the…read morebest I've ever worked with. The classes are challenging in the right way, the music is loud and high-energy, and the overall environment is genuinely supportive. No toxic vibes here just people focused on putting in work and getting better. Coach Salim and Coach Carlos are incredible. They know how to push you, they care about the members, and they consistently deliver results. I'm genuinely happy to see them step into ownership, and I'm excited to see where they take the brand next. Also great to have Devante back he brings a strong presence and good energy to the gym. If you want tough workouts, great coaching, and a positive culture, this location sets the standard.

I love this place! This is my second time trying BBB, the first time I wasn't ready to commit. This…read moretime around I was ready and I'm so happy I stayed, I've tried many gyms and classes but so far this is my favorite. I don't know what to do when I go to the gym but at BBB you follow the instructor, there is videos for you to follow. Smaller groups so it's easier to pay attention to others while they do it as well, plus the people here are so nice and they tell you if you are doing it wrong and motivate you pick up heavier and to push yourself. I lost a few lbs in the first couple of weeks and they are helping me with my weight loss process. The place is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Every time I leave, I feel extremely accomplished like I got a week's worth of workouts done in just one hour. I've already brought at least four friends with me because I'm such a fan. If the package prices were a little more affordable, I would definitely sign up for a monthly membership. For now, I'm happy attending once a week through ClassPass, but I truly love the energy, intensity, and overall vibe of this studio.

He's an amazing person with great energy , so motivating . The workout was great , 1 hour full body strength training .

I'm really happy I met him and I'm looking forward to training with him on the regular , also has very unique boot camp classes . The gym is really a vibe , you walk in and you just get in the mood to F*** shxt up (Emil voice) If you're looking for motivation or simply bored of the same ole gym routine , come down here and try out one of the classes or a 1 on 1 with Emil, he will change your whole prospective on things , I promise !!!

I love all the staff they are all very friendly and willing to help you with anything that you may need. They are all educated and trained in what they teach and i feel that to be very important. Its great that they offer a variety of classes from yoga to bootcamp and everything in between. I myself do the kickboxing and bootcamp 4 days a week with an occasionaly yoga class when i have time and i have seen amazing results. Leon is a great trainer and he pushes you to do your best because he wants results!! Ambria's Zogalaties class makes u sweat as well and is great for toning. I have referred many people here because i truly believe its an amazing place to work out and to make friends. its only 10 dollars a class or 100 for the month so you really cant go wrong, i would recommend this place to everyone!!

Bayside is the BEST SIDE babiii…read more People work out for different reasons. Some need that endorphin rush. Some have pent up anger. Some wanna look hot, whatever that means to them. I started going to BBB because if I ever got into a fight at a bar, I wanted to feel confident kicking someone's ass. Plain and simple. I'm 5'1 so... Napoleonic Complex I guess? I LOVE BBB at Bayside because well first of all there is actual parking next door for it. Parking for a classes-only gym... In QUEENS?? Unheard of. But more importantly, everyone is serious about fitness and works really hard exercising, but no one takes themSELVES too seriously. It's not a popularity contest. It's mostly young professionals who are there to do their thing, hype you up if necessary, and peace out. The music pumps you up, and like my favorite instructor Carlos says, this place encourages you to "Eat something healthy and don't be a jerk".

Pros: + Great instructors…read more+ Lots of motivation to continue with fitness + Discounts from signing up for a long term contract. Cons: - Pricey - Limited Parking - Limited changing rooms - HUGE CON for me, because it makes it difficult to go to work after working out - No water fountains - They do sell water bottles, but I think it's super silly to have a gym/bootcamp, but limited access to water.
