I have been studying at Yee's Hung Ga for almost a decade, and have no plans to stop anytime soon…read more I am almost 40 and am in the best shape of my life. But what I have gained from Yee's goes deeper than just physical fitness. It has improved my coordination, my self-discipline, my drive and my general well-being. Sifu Joseph Demundo encourages his students to push themselves, with patience and the understanding that each learns at his or her own pace. The emphasis is not on rank and advancement, but on learning an ancient art on progressively deeper levels. Don't' go expecting to get your "black belt" in a couple of years. Do expect to learn an ancient art in a friendly, family environment. And expect to sweat!

3 reasons I train at the Dogpound every time I visit New York:…read more1. The vibe here is unique! It's a family and it's a baddass one 2. Trainers are extremely knowledgeable. I learn something new every time I go and that's priceless if you are really interested in improving your performance. 3. Equipment selection is just perfect! Wouldn't change a single thing. If you are serious about your fitness game, this is where you should be working out! Try it out and thank me later.

These guys and girls just know how to kick you butt. Aside for that, they motivate you to want to…read morekick your own butt. They, above all others will make you feel like the change will take place by "smashing it" not alone, but together...they will be there for you, they will drive you, they will push you, but ultimately make you want to take yourself to that next level. They will 1000% push you harder than you have ever been pushed. But also, they will joke with you, they will focus on you, they will make you feel like you can break through a wall. In addition, they will be able to do any and all exercises that they ask you to do and they could prob each do it 100 times, perfectly. That, in and of itself, will make you want to do it and do it right. They are some of the nicest, most driven, down to earth people...expert trainers...motivators...friends, in the business. Go here.

I spent a month training at SoHo strength lab while visited NYC and loved all the trainers there!…read moreThe vibe is so relaxed/chill and everyone is so friendly. I learned so much and had the opportunity to work with three different trainers which exposed me to so many different exercises and approaches. Will definitely be back whenever I return to NYC.

INCREDIBLE WORKOUT!!!…read more Went there this weekend on a Saturday for the sweat class. This was my first time going to a group workout. I run about 20 miles a week, so I am by no means in amazing shape. The class was about 10 people, it was very challenging but not impossible. Andy the instructor was amazing at giving you pointers for making the circuits harder or easier depending on your level of fitness. I will definitely be going back, it is an awesome way to break up the monotony of a workout routine, i.e. running. Also if your a fitness maniac, there were some people training there who were in ridiculous shape.

Scam alert! I wish I…read moreread these reviews prior to signing up for the 6 week challenge. I was motivated and hopeful, especially due to prior positive crossfit experiences at other gyms and learned a big lesson about reading reviews first. To be clear: The 6 week challenge which is falsely advertised as free costs $632. If you lose 25 pounds they say you get your money back. Doing the math, this type of program endorses disordered exercise and eating. It's not healthy to lose that amount of weight in 6 weeks They exploit those that have unrealistic goals, financially. Personally, I am writing because I was supposed to start the 6 week challenge right before COVID and they continued to bill be throughout the gym closures. I explained that I would be willing to transfer the money I already paid into a regular membership following COVID and they refused. I called my credit card company since it is illegal to charge for a gym that is closed due to COVID. The credit card company advised to file a claim. They responded by calling collections. I am confident that the credit card company will handle this for me, but am sickened by these practices overall. Mostly, I am genuinely worried about the mental health of potential consumers in the future. The actual classes are extremely variable since the staff are not well trained. The staff themselves told me that they are not treated properly and that there are is little, inconsistent communication with management. It shows in the classes, and the workouts are not as effective as other crossfit programs I have done as a result.

I have mixed feelings about this. The staff is great, classes are good, great accountability…read morecoaches and awesome community. However, management is awful. They are scammers. Joe ( who refused to provide his last name and direct number) is the most horrible and greedy person I ever encounter. I take he is one of the owners. After the pandemic broke, I reached out to one of the coaches and asked for my membership to be cancelled, the reason being: no longer living in the city and financial hardships. I got an "ok" text message. Months later, I get a charge on my credit card. I was connected to Joe, who wanted to charge me for another month as a cancelation fee, which clearly is not part of the contract, and refused to give me credit for the month charged. After many back and forth emails, he finally understood and agreed a proper notice was given and no extra charges were to be charged to my account. I have on an email with his own words agreeing to this. They stole my money, he is a thief. I had to call my credit company to dispute the charge. They settled to give me a refund, which I was happy. But later, they send me to collections???? For something he agreed and settled?? Talk about ethics. Stay away from this gym, there are far better gyms with better customer service and honesty than WillyB. They are scammers, and as much as I hate to say this: they deserve to close for their terrible customer service ethics.

I purchased WTF's $97/unlimited promo & while I've only taken 2 classes, it's been freaking…read moreawesome. The gym is nice, spacious, and clean. (The locker room and showers are hella nice too. I usually stay away from showering at the gym but you don't have to worry about that here) First day I run in with 2 minutes to spare, find my name, check in. Being a newbie, Mike helped me wrap my hands (thank you!!), passed me a pair of gloves (wraps & rentals come with the promo) and off I went. I thought "It's been a while since I've went to the gym & im out of shape but hey, the muscle memory will kick in. #lightwerk" BRUH. The class is held in a group setting, super fast paced and you just keep going at it. First warm ups and then you start practicing your punches. I was struggling but Greg walked me through how to do everything - the whole time the pace of the workout never stopped. Then came the glorious 5 minutes where we rested as he set up the room and explained how to do the different exercises - circuit style. You won't get bored because there's literally no time to be bored. My second class was with the fierce af Sonia and she also came around and walked me through proper form, never slowing down the pace of the class. Her arm workouts are crazy but maybe my traps and triceps will finally come out of hiding. My shirt was drenched after her 7am class. (I am NOTTTTTT a morning person but her class is worth waking up for) Honestly the best thing is that the instructors don't make you feel like crap when you struggle or need to fix something multiple times. They pay attention, step in when you need it, and definitely motivate/push you. I don't write reviews (this is my first one) but WTF is seriously dope af so go try it out It's been 2 days & my body is sore in places I didn't know could be sore AND IT HURTS SO GOOD SO YOULL DEFINITELY WANT TO COME BACK.

This place is the real deal. I only came here because I had purchased a bloomspot for fitness…read moreclasses. The staff is nice and the class was intense. I need a real job so that I can actually afford boxing here because the guys that work here are ohh yeah! The other day I saw them on Empire Girls so people get to this place before they get too hollywood and wanna start raising prices!

I found Simmy on ClassPass and was impressed by his 5-star review, so I thought I'd give his class…read morea try. So glad I did! Simmy meets you where you're at. He gave useful tips - everything from stance to eye contact. His class was intentionally designed to have a max of 3-4 students so he could give more individual attention to everyone, which I really liked. The class takes place out of a very convenient location: Bout Fight Club on Fulton St. After class, Simmy stayed on to give me more pointers given my body injuries. Overall, I found his attentiveness, skill and class to be well worth the find! I highly recommend trying a class!

As best as they come. Athanasios is a great boxing trainer and makes boxing fun and a great cardio…read moreworkout. He has incredible professional boxing experience and a lot of experience training professional boxers, but he is able to adjust his training to everyone's level. I am nearly 70 years old and describe myself as a recreational boxer at the beginning/intermediate level, and Athanasios was able to structure my training sessions to be challenging, but achievable. His sessions were a fantastic cardio workout! My boxing skills improved a great deal while I trained with him weekly for more than one year. Sadly, Athanasios moved away to live in New York City so I can't train with him anymore, but if you have the opportunity to train with him, DO IT! No matter which level of boxing experience you are at, I guarantee that you will have fun, learn a lot, and have a great cardio workout with Athanasios.

[This review is specifically for their downtown Brooklyn location]…read more This gym does not provide a safe environment for women. In the locker room, there are chairs directly facing the changing area. This invites patrons to sit on the couch, with phones in their face, directly facing members who are changing. Three separate times I have turned around, while unclothed, and seen members using phones that are pointing directly at me (including being on FaceTime). While most members would put their phone when asked, some won't, claiming that photography is not allowed, but phone usage is permitted. To be clear: A person holding a phone up in a locker room creates a reasonable fear of recording, regardless of what they claim to be doing. This is such an egregious violation of privacy, and honestly displays a lack of common sense from management. Further, it should not be the job of members to police one another; it should be the job of management to provide a safe place for changing before and after workouts. Management has so far ignored my messages about this complete lack of respect for privacy.

Loved this place! I lived in NYC for a little over a year from 2022-2023 and was an Equinox member…read moreuntil I moved to somewhere where EQX didn't have a location. I visit NYC every so often for business trips, and have always struggled to find a gym I like that supports guest passes. I can happily say my search is finally over -- I'll definitely be coming back to GYM NYC every time I'm visiting the city! They sell 1-week passes for about $170, and day passes for $40. For me, it worked out better to get 4 day passes compared to the 1-week pass, but for those who would be visiting for a week and need to go 5+ sessions, that 1-week pass would be for you. Compared to EQX, the gym is way less crowded (even though it's smaller) and has all the equipment you need! The equipment is modern and plentiful: there are 2 flat bench press setups, one incline bench press, 3 deadlift platforms, and 4 squat racks. For accessory work there's also 3 adjustable flat benches and plenty of dumbbells. I usually go around 7am, which gets pretty crowded at EQX -- but this morning even by 7:30 there were still only a few other people in the gym. Amazing!
