I was here for the summer for an internship and looking for a gym. Amazing atmosphere. Never busy. Also, the trainers are so kind. I came over this summer and was immediately welcomed, which was very differnt from any private gym that I had been to previously. I saw previous reviews that people would leave stuff on the benches, etc. But honestly did not find that to be true and found the people to be very courteous. Would love to come again and highly recommend. read more

I like this gym but one thing I don't like is the weekend hours as they close pretty early. Also the lockers in the women's room are being taken over with people bringing their own locks and leaving it on the lockers so no one else can use it for multiple days. They need to cut them off read more

The people are there to train, not take videos or snap photos for social media. They are respectful of sharing machines and I do see people wipe down all the time. It is rugged. The plates are made of metal, and they don't have every single machine that I wish they had, but for the price of membership I can't complain when I really like the gym culture there. I wish they didn't have such a tight weekend schedule because I work weekends and it's hard to get in before 2pm on a Saturday sometimes. I'll miss this gym when I have to move to another place read more

I had a personal training session with Pedro this morning that was awesome. After an initial conversation last week regarding my general health, physical issues, and my goals, we started with stretches and a few exercises so that he could assess my strengths and weaknesses, after Pedro gave me a tour of the facility. We eventually moved on to some of the machines and weights. I could tell that Pedro was being easy on me lol and insisted that he not be for the next session. He has a laid-back style, but he absolutely points out which muscles are being worked, as well as he notices everything about your physicality as he moves you through each exercise. I am really excited to start this journey at Green Fitness with Pedro! The equipment all seems up to date, the gym is very spacious, and esthetically pleasing to the eye. FYI: This gym is a bit of a trip for me, as Blink Fitness is up the street from me but I don't like the vibe at Blink and visually it's a blank. Also, Jason and the young lady at the front desk were very pleasant. read more

I had a six-month membership but had to cancel one month in but Green Fitness Studio would not credit any prorated portion of that amount back to me. What's most frustrating is that I was entirely ignored by the owner. I sent two emails on the topic with a clear request but just never heard back. So they didn't even have the decency to tell me what was going on. My advice is to avoid this gym and rest assured that if you ever need to cancel your membership, they will simply ignore you. read more

Ok gym because there are no crowds, so workouts are good. Service is pretty unprofessional though. Trainers don't unrack weights from their clients and leave their personal belongings on top of in demand benches and machines. People leave locks on lockers for months at a time and are no where to be found, management was aware and left signs threatening to cut them off, and they didn't ever cut them off. There are barely any lockers available for gym-goers to use. Invest more in service. read more

I checked out the other gyms in the area (Blink, S&S, Absolute Power) before deciding on Green and for me, this was the right choice. Blink is generic. S&S is tiny. Absolute is absolutely crowded with younger folks and tubs of N.O. XPLODE. As a guy in his early 30s, this is THE gym for those looking for both a serious, uninterrupted workout and/or space to do your own thing like boxing, yoga, mobility, etc. The classes are seriously great and the people/instructors/trainers are so friendly. For me, this was a total win. read more

Update. The gym is now threatening to sue me!!!!! This is over a $70 charge that the owner finally agreed to refund. Oh and BTW they are still trying to charge me each month. This is absolutely unbelievable! read more

Green Fitness Studio - Boxing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Solid, no frills gym. Never super crowded and a lot of space. Happy I found this gym in Bushwick

worst customer service ever. went over there to sign up and the two girls didnt even acknowledge me. Gossiping and talking about their personal lives. After a few minutes i tried to catch their attention and was told they would be with me shortly and continued with their personal conversation. 15 minutes later a decided to leave. wouldnt give them my money even if they were the last gym on the planet. awful service. read more

i loved this gym but they have a trainer Lenny who made me and my friends very uncomfortable multiple times and hurt my friend. None of us feel safe returning. The man also refused to return my belongings after being confronted. He regularly trained me while drunk and it was common knowledge that he does this. No one does anything about it or his inappropriate behavior. UPDATE: owner of the gym is awful and called me to yell at and berate me for posting this. No apology just used the fact that I haven't returned since they closed for the pandemic to invalidate this having anything to do with the gym. Never mind that this is the reason why I do not feel safe returning. To be clear, it is IMPOSSIBLE to be in that gym and not be subject to coach Lenny as you cannot be anywhere in the gym without hearing him obnoxiously shout all day long. If you are a young woman and new to the gym I can guarantee that he will approach you and even train you for free if you cannot afford his rates, something he claims to do because of his love for promoting women's self-defense. If he does not read you as a young woman you can also bet he won't approach you. It is disgusting how he uses his position to lure people into trusting him only to take advantage of them later. It is also disgusting how the owner of the gym doesn't care at all about our safety. read more

This is the best gym I have ever been to! From the outside, it doesn't seem like much, which in my opinion is great - keep this place a secret. Once inside, it's a green oasis! My boyfriend and I were quite hesitant when we walked in. We had been going to Blink in Bushwick prior to Covid and it was always packed, there was no way I would be going back there during Covid. The membership fee for Green is $70 a month, a great deal considering how large and empty the gym is. The receptionist (completely forget her name - sorry girl!) was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and gave us a tour of the facility. We were amazed at the cleanliness and adherence to Covid protocols. All the machines were separated by hanging plexi-glass barriers. There are separate areas for free weights, a boxing ring, punching bags, a yoga room, and and aikido dojo. We purchased our membership right away and came back right after having some lunch. We had a great first experience. There was everything you could ask for, and were also informed that once Covid regulations eased up and exercise classes were once again permitted, these sessions would be included with our membership fee - amazing! Our first workout session was on a Thursday, I just went back again on Sunday and I was concerned that it would be busier on the weekend. But once again, it was practically empty and I felt I had the place to myself. Green Fitness is a great choice for an all-around amazing fitness experience, especially during Covid. read more

All the bad reviews are because the gym is overpriced, among other things, but fortunately for me, I visit this gym using Class Pass so their prices don't affect me. PROS: - Huge space, outdoor area for working out in the summer, lots of machines. - Bathrooms are clean but outdated. They need a reno but at least they're sanitary. - No need to bring locks. Their lockers have key pad locks. Hallelujah. - Smoothie hut serves up delicious protein shakes. Perfect for a post workout treat. - Diverse crowd. This is a plus for me. I didn't want to see a bunch of skinny hipsters walking around. The diverse group (weight, race, ethnicity) just keeps the gym environment varied and REAL. Two somewhat bad experiences: First time I came here for a yoga class, I arrived super early and waited and waited and noticed no one was in the studio except me. I ask front desk what's up and they say the instructors on her way. I wait and only one guy comes in and he thinks I'm the instructor. 10 mins into the class - no one showed up. No instructor and no one else. I ended up doing 1 hour of gym time to make up for it, but was super annoyed I wasted time waiting and the fact the staff had no clue where she was. Second time I came, I took the Rock n' Roll yoga class. The instructor arrived on time and ready to go. The issue was her style of instructing. She was way too soft spoken to the point where I didn't hear a word she was saying over the music (not rock and roll btw). She dictated the poses with no transitional flow whatsoever. So it was like "downward dog" "ok now stand". Even though I know how to flow through the poses, it would've been nice to hear it flow smoothly. She also didn't even out the poses. We'd do something with our left and skip the right side altogether. Just strange. Overall, I would definitely return. It's one of the few gyms in the area that's easily accessible by train and participates in Class Pass. read more

SCAM OF A GYM and a piece of crap facility. Everything is old and broken. Save your $70! GO TO BLINK! Have attended this gym for years, was always on good standing until wanting to leave then the tables turn..... 1. copy of contract w the separate page of "signature' - SUPER SHADY 2. The conversation w the employee saying all good w me leaving - then get slammed w "telling an employee doesn't count" 3. The lack of communication to all my queries, which is buying them time to continue to bill me month after month and indefinitely (left sept and still getting billed) 3. The 'damage your credit letter' and efits statement that they don't report to credit bureaus - FRAUDULENT AND THREATENING 4. The lifetime commitment to a contract i never legally signed - TIL DEATH is what their contract reads. WHAT??? Is that a joke??? SIMPLE WARNING- STAY AWAY FROM THIS PIECE OF CRAP UNPROFESSIONAL GYM read more

Everyone has headphones in, why do you blast the radio? Other than that, decent gym. But seriously, we are all listening to our own music. No reason to play the radio at a gym. read more

wonderful facilities and variety of classes/programs. lots of space to train and a lovely outdoor patio! also a very cool mix of people from the Bushwick area read more

This is my favorite gym in NYC. The staff is super friendly, they have a great cause and the atmosphere is nice. They even have a boxing ring! The classes are incredible and you can get a very fair rate if you use Popin. My favorite classes are the boxing and TRX classes. The variety of the juice bar is great and very affordable. I think there are free tea and coffee too! No more excuses not to get that summer body:) read more

PLEASE VACUMM THE HAIRS ON THE STUDIOS!!!! Coach Lenny is the best the gym has! Machines are little old but functional.. overall it's an ok gym. read more

I don't trust this place. At first, I was really excited at the prospect of a "green gym" opening in the neighborhood, but since they've opened, it's become obvious that the owner doesn't care at ALL about being eco-friendly. I think it's just a publicity stunt. They use Clorox/Windex cleaning products, they have petroleum-based/unnatural/multinational-owned/tested-on-animal products in the bathroom, they used non-recycled toilet paper, and they don't even recycle. Seriously????? They are NOT eco-friendly. The staff is definitely nice, and I've taken some great yoga classes there, but I refuse to join a gym that professes to be green as a publicity stunt. Also, while the pricing is on par with other NYC gyms, it's WAY over-priced for the neighborhood so the membership base is almost exclusively 20-something white kids, leaving out the majority of the neighborhood. Booooo! read more

It's my last week in the neighborhood, and last week at the gym. I just asked the guy at the front desk if he could turn the stereo down a little bit, since I couldn't hear my own audio through my headphones. He essentially told me no, that "this is how we always have the music." So much for customer service. Fuck you, Green Fitness. I hope your gym remains as empty as it is right now. read more

After reading all these negative reviews, I hesitated to even check it out, but I must say, after going for almost a year, it's actually pretty great... If using your credit card makes you uncomfortable, just pay cash. Problem solved. It's really no big deal. Break down: Is this place actually "green"? --In paint color only. They print their schedules on paper and it doesn't seem properly insulated. Is it crowded? --Never. The place is huge. The most "crowded" it gets is in the back room when boxers are training. Otherwise, there's always space to get your stuff done. Is it expensive? -- I don't think so. Sure, it's not Planet Fitness prices, but if you want to pay 20 bucks for an overcrowded shitty gym - I'm not one to stop you. This place is $80 a month if you go month-to-month. And if you do even just one or two classes a month on top of regular gym workout - you've got your money's worth. Is it worth it? --100%. They have all sorts of classes - yoga, insanity, boxing, strength training - at ideal times (for me anyway). And it's all included. Is it convenient? --Yeah, it's two short blocks from the Morgan stop. They have code-locked lockers so you don't need your own lock. They have showers and towels. They have protein shakes. Are classes reliable? --The regular instructors are reliable. There are a few times some new instructors do a no-call/no-show...but the regulars are always there. I make a habit of calling ahead so there are no surprises. How about the staff? --One of the desk clerks, though very friendly, is a bit of an airhead. But everyone else - the instructors, the other clerks, the manager - is very helpful. No one is condescending. No one makes you feel stupid. Downsides? --The sauna never works. But if you're at the gym for the sauna, you're being a pansy and you should probably focus more on the workout there, champ. read more

I live in the neighborhood and need a gym for the winter months. Not much for running in the cold. That said, I checked out this gym and Absolute Power on Grand. Green Fitness was spacious, had several sets of weights, and had great natural light. Aesthetics aside, it had all the machines I would normally use. The downside: they say they are catering to the mix of the neighborhood, reserving 10pm to 1am as "men's" hours for the Hasids. This is the only way they are catering to the neighborhood. The sign up fee is $150 whether you go month to month, or a yearly membership. The cost prices out most people from this neighborhood, actually--$99 per month for month to month, and $79 for membership. Obviously, they want you to buy the full membership. That said, if I do pay for it, then I should be able to go when it is open, not just on "secular" hours. They guy who walked me around said they used to have women's hours for Hasidic women, but said they stopped it because "women don't drive." Lastly, I am wondering if they can institute Atheist hours??? While I was there, there were several hasidic men working out, thus why the need for "men's" hours, and why is this accommodation made? If it's about "inclusion" then religious preferences should be left at the door. read more

So, I went and tried out green fitness studio, a gym that is further from me than planet fitness and Ritchie's, but I figured I can afford an expensive ish gym, and the facilities looked clean on the website, also the idea of spending my workouts on a roof sounded great.. I inquired about membership prices through email, because they don't list on their website, I figured because maybe if I haggled with them they would give me a better rate. So I went in early afternoon, and it was pretty dead. I was greated at the front desk by a weird smell, and no attendant. I found the attendant and immediately understood the smell. (I would normally not mention this, because its kinda personal, but I feel like at least the managers should know) the attendants breath was the strongest bad breath I've ever experienced. Like everytime I asked a question I had to back up a few feet and hold my breath. I could not even dream to haggle with this man, and I would never willingly spend the five minutes it might take to sign up for said membership. The prices... Yah, everyone has talked about it. It's insane and for that price I expect a lot more, like No cobwebs in the corners A sauna that works A door on the women's locker room (is this a public pool) Mirrors.... Waaaaaaaay more mirrors. A space for women to lift free weights. Like a spot where the weights are and people can stand and use them, not have to find a 2 foot mirror on a random wall by the stairs 20 feet away from different weights. More treadmills.. They weren't busy at the time, but I imagine if I was there at 6 on a weekday... And I don't really want to run next to someone. I want an option to run 2 treadmills away from the other. Ritchie's and absolute fitness and I imagine planet fitness all have this. Uh, cute guys? (A little motivation never hurt anyone) seems to be the same man/boy crowd at every other gym. An indoor track A large room with mirrors. There were also no classes going on at any times I would want to work out, which was one of the draws to this studio. The gym set up Is more focused on machine weights which I find annoying, because I don't think those work, for women at least... They are not the most effective tools for women to lose weight or tone their body. Also this gym is basically 150 a month with no contract. Which is 140 more than a membership at planet fitness, the only thingthey don't have is classes, but if I really need a good yoga class I can pay 10-15 bucks at either of the awesome yoga studios right next to green fitness. And then go get a green juice at mr kiwi for 4 bucks, and I'm still no where near green fitness prices..... And remember that idealic roof? Remember also that it rains all the time in the summer or its really hot and humid.. Or it's really windy... And that you don't actually live in a place where that would be a good thing. I don't see the point, but I'd recommend anyone looking to use their free day pass for possible members to see for your self. read more

I "relocated" here temporarily after Sandy flooded my gym. It's clean, airy, plenty of treadmills (no time limit, no sign-ups!), never too crowded. Friendly staff, decent size lockers with code locks (yay, no need to carry your own lock!!!), clean showers, towels provided. Love the windows, they make space more open. read more

As others have mentioned, they are running some sort of scam with credit cards. I spoke to their manager over and over again to cancel my membership when I moved out of the neighborhood, and my card is still being charged. It's a great gym until it turns into a shady illegal credit card scam. I am not going to stop until I get my money back but this is a pain in the ass that kind of negates what good the gym did for me. read more

Have been using this gym now on and off for about a year. My observations of this gym are as follows: Although there appears to be nothing truly eco-green at this gym, I do see that this gym is trying to find its identity and meeting the needs of the community. The gym is currently expanding and it is giving greater emphasis on boxing which includes more boxing equipment and sanctioned Boxing matches. With this in mind, I would highly recommend taking personal boxing classes, the coached are all highly experienced and in this gym. You have the opportunity to train the way pros train as well as spare with another person. Other then Boxing, which I rate: excellent & spinning which I would rate as OK (Took better ones), I Have not taken any other classes hence I cannot comment on the quality of the classes. With respect to the gym: Pros: 1- Clean gym; The cleaning guy works diligently to keep it so. 2- Can watch Netflix while on the treadmill or visa versa 3- The water fountain has a filter. 4- New Spinning Bikes 5- Hot Yoga 6- Outdoor Patio. Cons: 1- Member ship fees are rather high BUT, I notice that the gym is becoming more flexible. 2- Weight Room could use more equipment improvements nevertheless for all the talk I read on yelp about this gym's weight-equipment...I see rather few folks using said equipment. In conclusion, as I stated before this gym is still trying to find itself, let's hope that the folks in charge are nimble and creative enough to make it a cool please to go to. read more

It takes forever to repair the machines and the men locker room is just awful. Constantly hot, average 90F, and smelling pee and sh*t. They are lucky to be the only gym in the neighborhood. Not talking about the leaks in the middle of the gym or the notice saying that we should not get worried about the filter issues in the water fountain. read more

Green Fitness Studio - 91F in the men locker room, every day.. - Boxing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Can't really decide how I feel about this gym. On the one hand it's kind of ridiculous with the superficial green gimmick and the Manhattan prices. On the other hand it's scrappy and kind of endearing. Plus you don't have many other options. I still have yet to see what is "green" about this place, well besides the paint. Fixing a bunch of shitty old machines and using energy saving windows isn't exactly revolutionary. I've seen the tire floor thing and self powered machines in other gyms. The whole place seems unfinished and built on the cheap. If this gym was cheap I'd be more excited to embrace it as a lovable "work in progress." But $80 a month of a year commitment (with a $150 initiation fee) or $99 month to month is totally insane. Price gauging to the extreme. Looks like all serious athletes near the Morgan ave L stop will have to take a train or pony up the cash. The location is key and it's better than the dirt cheap ghetto gyms deeper in Bushwick. But the place is nothing really that special, and has kind of crappy hours (sat-sun close at 6pm!). It's got 90% of what you want but for this much $$$ a bunch of small, easily correctable things will piss you off a little. The scale that's not calibrated, the broken hand dryer, the 2 or 3 machines missing from the gyms arsenal, and the dress code (or lack there of). The "sauna" is a 2 person 5' tall box with clear front literally right next to the lockers and showers=creepy human fish bowl. You feel like a mega perv casually chillin' in this well lit box while other people are awkwardly bending over and changing 2 feet from your face. As for equipment it's okay, only 1 set of everything. But because it's a 20 something white hipster gym the clientele doesn't hog the weights or machines too much. It sucks that this isn't a super serious weight lifting gym but I can get by due to the lack of other gym rats competing for the equipment. While some of the machines are uncomfortable (lower quality design) they are all very well maintained and operate perfectly. Would also say that cleanliness is slightly below average for the price point. They do have someone cleaning throughout the day but patrons never wipe down the equipment. Winter=muddy wet shoe prints everywhere. On the plus side the cleaners they have are actually very friendly and seem happy, which is a first for a gym. They recently opened up the large back room which is awesome. Finally space for explosive exercises! When there aren't classes the place feels plenty spacious. The massive expanse of windows are a real treat if you come in during the day. Unfortunately there is still no warm room dedicated for stretching. The two small yoga rooms are chilly in the winter, especially when the sun isn't out. That's the downside to all the pretty windows. if they turned up the heat in one of the yoga studios all the time I would add a star. The other cool thing is they do outreach to the Hasidic community, they have special late night hours for the men and during the day a few times a week they rope off the back area for women only. This neighborhood is going through rapid, extreme gentrification and any attempt to get the loft dwelling kids to interact with the traditional local communities I see as a healthy thing. read more

It might be very tempting to give them your credit card to auto pay. DO NOT DO THIS. Normally, a company is legally allowed to use your credit card whenever you authorize them to do so, and cannot use it when you deauthorize it. I had lost my credit card was issued a new one, and they kept charging the old card. They use a "third party" company that charges you. This company is authorized to call you demanding payment, authorized to charge a payment on your card, but for some reason, they claim they CAN'T take a card off their system, can't stop charging you, that you have to talk to the green fitness itself. This is a company that I never even heard of, let alone chose to do business with. But they have my credit card info and can charge it, but can't stop charging it. When I called green fitness, they said they see that credit card on the bill, but can't remove it either, that I have to contact their manager. But he conveniently happened to be unavailable. So the card remains on there, they still try to charge it, and they can't stop charging it, and every time they do, and it fails, they hit me with a $30 return charge. Imagine that. ************************** I did speak to the people at efit financial as a possible customer for their billing services and they said that they CAN have their representatives remove a credit card if it is requested by the gym members, so it must be a specific collusion between green fitness and efit financial to prevent a customer from being able to request that they stop charging a cancelled card. ************************** Pros: It is close, often empty when i need to use it (middle of the day) Cons: Technically illegal distribution and usage of credit information. Go ahead and use them, but pay in cash read more

I'm so frustrated with this gym! it is so OVERPRICED! It does look nice but there is so much green paint everywhere! and they charge to put your membership on hold if you out of town. I am away for full months all the time and shouldn't have to pay anything for not using you at all. for what they charge you are better off joining a nicer gym that is open LATE! only problem is there are not that many gyms in this area. I'm going to have to continue my membership to Richies gym and hope this gym wises up and realizes there membership should only be about $40-50 a month for what they provide. They should be helping make fitness available to the community and not charge Manhattan prices in Bushwick. VERY DISAPPOINTED... I really hope someone builds another gym in this area with reasonable prices.... a much bigger sauna and a steam room would also be nice! read more

I'm rating this gym 1 star, not because I hate it, I actually enjoyed working out there, but for the owner to realise he can not fool his customers. Air conditionning blowing ice cold air with all the windows open ? Lights on at daytime ? No contract printed on paper, though the class shedule with the full menu of their restaurant printed on hundreds of sheets every month ? Come on. As it was mentioned before, it's extremely expensive for what you get. It's never open late at night (we're in NYC, 8pm or 10pm is NOT late), they use old refurbished equipment (obviously more for the sake of saving money than to really save the planet) and only a handful of classes are good. I read customers complaining about it being crammed and too busy, well it's not the case anymore :) I'm often ALL ALONE working out at daytime lately. read more

This gym seems to still be in the process of getting set up, and things sometimes seem disorganized. When I signed up they offered a signup special that includes a consultation with one of their nutritionists, a fitness expert, and 15 min massage. So far I met with the nutritionist, which was just alright. I was told I would be contacted by a fitness expert, and that never happened. Fellow Yelper jess l mentioned having issues with their charges, which I have encountered as well. They have been charging a credit card twice (4 days apart) for my month to month membership. Lucky I noticed, I would definitely watch you credit card charges. Also they do charge $15 for each month you want to put your monthly membership on hold, which I was not told when I signed up (but it probably...hopefully in the fine print of the membership agreement). I gave this place two stars because its alright, and I believe eventually it could be great, but they need to work out some problematic organizational quirks. read more

OK so yelp removed my review without any notification? Perhaps Green Fitness wasnt comfortable with being exposed in such a blunt manner? Short version: Cons: There is nothing eco friendly about this gym. Its just a ploy to sell, pretty much just like any corporate culture fronting to be environmentally conscious or part of the green movement. They did at least paint the place green and have pictures of leaves in the logo. This gym is hideously expensive. Its crammed, has too many members, poor (refurbished) equipment, poor selection of equipment, and is about of the quality of any gym youd see in a hotel while traveling. Rec centers around the city are of the same quality, and cost in an entire year what Green Fitness costs in a single month. I had over 6 years of professional level bodybuilding experience when joining this fitness center. In my career, Ive used somewhere around 20 or so gyms and fitness centers, and have personal training experience of my own. GFS is in the bottom 3 (worst) facilities Ive ever used. Im ecstatic my membership has only a few days left on it. Pros: Clean, very clean (although its ridiculous that members cant clean their own equipment, have to wait for cleaning guy to do it 2x a day...). Showers, towels, diversity of equipment, location, design, atmosphere are very nice. read more

Been with these guys for a year now and I've loved it. The gym has the right equipment, they have great, friendly staff and they also have amazing Peanut butter milkshakes. Usually I bring my own music but most of the time the music that they play in the workout area is great anyways. The classes are included in the package so I got to take advantage of some awesome boxing and yoga sessions. All in all, a great experience. read more

WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!! The space itself is airy and light with lots of large windows. It seems like it would be a nice place to work out and take classes, of which they have a decent selection.. But it's... W A Y T O O E X P E N S I V E ! ! ! ! (seriously, I mean it costs more than my manhattan gym and it's in Bushwick-are they kidding?!) read more

I've now been a member at Green Fitness for a year and it couldn't feel more like a family. Every time I go, I'm greeted by Ester and Genaro with a welcoming smile. Benny, Orlando, Deborah and Juan are the most consistent class instructors I've ever had. They motivate me to keep coming back and continue to get stronger and stay in shape. All these dedicated staff members contribute to a warm and welcoming atmosphere that is truly unique. I couldn't recommend this gym more. Edit: And Lucky! How could I forget Lucky! Best all-around handyman extraordinaire! read more

Went here for a yoga class and walked away promising myself I'd never walk through those doors again. The place is an eyesore, painted in this weird neon-y shade of green (questionable how "green" it is in other than the most literal respect) and their yoga studio seemed wildly claustrophobic. As I was leaving, the owner tried to hard-sell me on a membership package, and when I wasn't biting, he started to hardcore badmouth the gym I usually go to. It felt gross and desperate. My gym might not be emitting neon rays of green, but it's friendly, charming and CHEAP. ($30 a month! Richie's Gym!!) The new Verde Yogurt Shoppe just next door (we get it, you folks love the play on the word "green") is equally awful-looking and overpriced. Seems like a bad harbinger for what's to come in Bushwick... Let's hope these places get the hint and quietly takes their prices and poor taste elsewhere. read more

Just went to Green Fitness Studio for the first time today, and its great! For a place that just opened up, they have a lot of equipment and a really nice, helpful staff. Dude answered all of my questions and then had a personal trainer show me all of the equipment. He even gave me some workout pointers, which was very necessary. Very excited for the juice bar to open up! read more

Dunno anything about working out there, but do know that it's a cool ass place to watch a boxing match. I wish it wasnt so far from where I lived, but it was definitely interesting to see fights in a greenhouse. read more
