Not exaggerating when I say that this place has changed my life! I have often found it difficult to make time to exercise, or to stick with a workout plan once I've started it. However, a few years ago I signed up for one of the Park Fitness boot camps (first thing in the morning, three days a week) and the rest is history. I genuinely enjoy going to classes here and have noticed serious differences in my strength, stamina, and energy. The classes I've attended have been welcoming to a wide range of ages and fitness levels -- often, you'll be working with your own individual weights, so you have the opportunity to choose something heavier or lighter depending on how much you want to push yourself, or make adaptations to exercises if need be. The instructors and staff members are all super enthusiastic and supportive, and it really feels like a community. Facilities are always clean, neat, and well organized -- much nicer than many other gyms and fitness studios I've been to. I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance, but if I ever move, I suspect I will find myself traveling farther so I can continue to come here. It's absolutely worth it. read more

The classes at the studio are great and the instructors are wonderful! I've been going to the studio for close to a year. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming. It makes me want to come back every time and helps motivate me to workout. You also get a kick-ass workout! I love the classes and feel like I've grown stronger and see an improvement in my body since I've joined. The instructors have such great energy and always make the classes fun even when it gets challenging. Thank you to everyone at Park Fitness Gym! read more

I love this place! I have weird/bad feelings and experiences with gym-like spaces as a not-thin woman. But this space is body positive and fun! There's no body negative focus on losing weight, weighing yourself, measuring your muscles, or getting "in shape" as a mandate to determine success. It's really about doing what your body can do, and sweating and smiling while doing it! Janine (the owner) leads awesome boot camps (I've only done the beginner one, and it was very challenging for me), and she does a great job of getting diverse, nice, down-to-earth instructors. I LOVE Lizette and her energy! I also really enjoy yoga with David. Overall, the "feel" of the space is welcoming and warm. I feel good supporting a local, woman-owned business, AND I feel good, body and mind, from being active! read more

I love Park Fitness BK! Been working out there weekly with personal trainer, Rich, for almost a year now and the changes I've seen in myself are amazing. I've gotten physically stronger and healthier. I'm also de-stressing and I've seen improvements in my work-life balance. Park Fitness is a wonderful place to train. In addition to personal training, they also offer a TON of classes (lots of different and rotating types: bootcamps, yoga, etc.), which are also highly recommended. This gym/studio is extremely clean and the staff are very warm and welcoming. The prices are totally reasonable and worth every penny given the positive results you'll see. read more

This is an excellent neighborhood training gym, with a really great "bootcamp" program. Janine is really dedicated to improving your fitness level, whatever it may be. She takes the time to explain moves to beginners, and focuses on form with the more advanced participants. The pace of the bootcamp is great, providing a quality workout for people of all levels. If I were a beginner in the world of working out, I could see being very comfortable (and happy!) having Janine get me acquainted. And as a longtime fitness person, I love the attention to detail that she gives, helping me find little tweaks to improve my performance. Overall: solid gym with new and varied equipment, very clean, friendly vibe, and GREAT music! Check it out!! read more

I recently returned to the gym after about a two year long hiatus. I joined bootcamp at 630am three times a week. Janine (the owner/instructor) always comes in with a smile and pleasant attitude. She is really upbeat and positive. For me, vibe and motivation is really important as I am not a big fan of working out. I also really like the fact that there is a lot of personal attention, despite the fact that it's a group class. The workouts really count because Janine is amazing at teaching proper form. I've been doing some exercises for years and just realized now that I've been doing them improperly. I sometimes feel sore in muscles I didn't know I had. I also take spinning classes about twice a week. Lisette is a great instructor because she pushes you to the limit, but at the same time knows exactly when to slow down the pace for a breather. She definitely knows how to strike the right balance with timing and intensity. I really enjoy the class. Overall the instructors and atmosphere are amazing. Pricing is also very reasonable and they offer packages for unlimited classes. Very importantly, the place is super clean. Nothing is ever sticky or dusty like I've seen before in other gyms. When I first started, I couldn't even do a push-up. Now I'm able to do 15. In all, I've lost about 12 lbs and gained a lot muscle since joining about 2 months ago. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking to get in shape! read more

Park Fitness BK is one of my favorite studios! They have a variety of classes, from spin to Zumba to bootcamp to yoga -- anything to fit your mood and workout regimen. The instructors are energetic, supportive and friendly -- it's very easy to quickly feel part of the community. If you go more than once, the staff will know your name! read more

Awesome fitness studio. The owner and all instructors are super nice and friendly. Very convenient location and hours for.

Great place where the staff takes the time to get to know you and learn your name! Fun but challenging classes to help you achieve your fitness goal! My favorite class is Strength & Conditioning with Lizette - she has the best energy and designs the most effective total body workouts. I also had the pleasure of having Bianca as my personal trainer for a few weeks and I can only say positive things about her - we build great rapport and I felt that she was genuinely invested in my health. Overall, I highly recommend Park Fitness BK to all due to their attentive client service and fantastic classes. read more

My fiancé and I moved to the neighborhood a little over a year ago and were on the hunt for a good gym. We happened to walk by Park Fitness Brooklyn and signed up for the beginner bootcamp. What an amazing experience. Janine is the best, really patient and provides personal attention even in a group environment. I've done the beginner bootcamp twice and now go regularly to the Strength and Conditioning classes that Lizette teaches. Lizette is amazing too, a total badass, she's definitely tough but will make you so strong. Lastly, the best part about this gym - super body positive. Women and men of all shapes, sizes and ages. Really a great community environment. read more

I have been going to this gym for almost 2 months. Not everyday and mostly spinning and fit camp yet I have seen a change. Even though its on the pricier side I choose it because it is small, super clean, the instructors are great and everybody is super nice. The classes are small which I find to be wonderful because you dont get lost between all the people. The instructors really pay attention and make sure you get the best workout. Lizette is amazing truly amazing, Erin is killer in spinning and the guy that does fit camp (cant remeber his name) works you to the bone. Regardless of the fact its on Coney Island ave I always find parking. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is because I wish they had more clases at an earlier time. read more

I was looking for a gym with early/late classes which was located in an area with parking. This gym definitely has parking right outside and classes that start as early as 630 am. I did a cycling class, which was great and a total body work out class. Right as i joined they had a beginner bootcamp for 2 weeks, which was challenging and amazing at the same time. Janine really took her time to explain every move and the correct form. After the 2 week beginner bootcamp i signed up for 4 week bootcamp class. Bootcamp was exactly what it sound like, it was fast, challenging and worth every ache and drop of sweat. I felt really challenged and pushed but in a good way. I will admit that i was the slowest from the entire group but tried not to give up and Janine encouraged me every step of the way. Im very happy that i found this place and i am continuing with another beginner bootcamp. read more

This place is awesome. With its familial vibe and energetic instructors, it takes the intimidation out of group fitness classes. Every time I walk in I feel good about my choice to buy the monthly membership--which is a great deal, ps. It really is great to have it here in the neighborhood. read more

Janine is the best personal trainer! I trained in Brooklyn with her before my wedding and she helped me transform my body and mindset. She works with the whole person -- mentally and physically. Because of her efforts, I am stronger and more flexible, I have better balance and most importantly, working out has become fun. read more

Of all the gyms I have ever been to, Park Fitness BK is my favorite! Janine Labriola is the owner and her classes are amazing: she finds the perfect balance between challenging and fun, and her energy is infectious and just what you need to get going at 6:30 in the morning. She's also so kind and genuine -- she makes a connection with all her students, cares if you have injuries, and suggests modifications to make everything accessible. I also love that Janine and studio as a whole truly affirm everyone: if your goal is to lose weight she supports that, but it's not the guiding principle of the place. Thank you, Janine and team, for creating this space to be healthy, achieve goals, and have fun! read more

I never enjoyed going to the gym until I started taking classes at Park Fitness BK. Lizette is the best instructor I've ever had. She will get you to push yourself to the limits, maximizing the benefits of each class. Her wealth of positive energy and enthusiasm help you overcome the mental hurdle of a tough workout. The other classes and instructors are also great: Kwasi will kick your butt, and the spin and pilates classes are a nice reprieve from the strength training classes. I feel 100x more fit and healthy when I regularly attend classes. I highly recommend you do the same. read more

Park Fitness BK is a safe space to get fit! I've never felt so welcome, accepted, and supported as I do at Park Fitness BK. If you've ever been intimidated by gym culture or felt like your body didn't "belong" in a gym or fitness class, Park Fitness BK is the place for you. Not only does the staff cultivate an atmosphere of being a safe space for all, at every place on your fitness journey, but the people who attend classes reflect back that positivity and spirit. YES you will get your butt kicked in Total Body Fitness classes or the Abs and Stretch class or a spin class or a yoga class (all of which I go to regularly for my health AND sanity!) but you will also find community. Specifically Lizette and Julia have made me love exercising again; Shanay's yoga class is like detox for my week; Jessica and Janine radiate welcoming energy. PLUS supporting Park Fitness BK is supporting a gym operated by women and women of color!!! read more

Park Fitness BK is a real find. I'm so happy it's in my neighborhood, but I would gladly travel to take classes with Lizette. No matter your level of fitness, these classes meet you where you are and lovingly encourage you to go a little further. Class sizes are small, the instructors really care, and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming (to newcomers and regulars alike). I've never had so much fun sweating so hard. It's a real community -- but not at all clique-y. I started off as a total newbie to kickboxing -- now I hate to miss a week! Empowering, effective, and most of all, super fun. read more

I'm a Classpass user who attended Fit camp with Kwasi every Sunday morning. This is an awesome class with great energy. I decided to try this gym out for a week unlimited in order to make a permanent switch. I've realized that Lizette's classes are also great. She's extremely positive and makes connections with every member. The class is as challenging as you want it to be and she will make you excited to come back. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful gym with great classes in my neighborhood. The icing on the cake is that the owner Janine is open to adding classes you suggest and is very nice. I can't wait to see how this gym continues to grow and expand :) Thank you. read more

I've been coming to Park Fitness BK for yoga since it opened. David has a special place in my heart (he's highly skilled plus plays fabulous, varied music), but all the teachers are excellent. They also accommodate a wide range of bodies and abilities (I'm 63). Janine, the owner, is warm and friendly, as many other people have said. i highly recommend this place! read more

I can't say enough good things about Park Fitness BK. From my first call with the owner Janine, to working with personal trainer Rich Joseph, to the variety of classes with top-notch instructors, this place has made me look forward to working out each week! There is truly something for everyone. I'm not someone who wants to commit to just a spinning package or a yoga studio. If you want to mix it up and see results, definitely try out this gym. Such a great addition to the neighborhood!! read more

I've been searching for the perfect workout community for myself and found it at Park a Fitness BK. After months of trying different workouts I found something that works for me and has me coming back continuously. Janine the owner is delightful and has a way of selecting only the most positive instructors. So glad to have such a great place in the neighborhood to continue my fitness journey around such uplifting people. 5 stars for group fitness at Park Fitness BK! read more

Great place! You can tell the owner Janine has put tons of effort into making Park Fitness BK into a friendly, comfortable and positive place to work out. I'm doing personal training with Rich, who is fantastic and motivating, and hope to do some group classes soon, too. This is the first time I've walked into a fitness center and actually wanted to come back! read more

Janine has changed my life. I feel like I'm learning from the best. I've done personal training, group training, and beginner boot camp with her, and it's given me a completely new perspective on my abilities and general outlook. I've never worked out like this, nor had to be accountable to anyone else. I thought long walks, regular walking-commutes and all-day bike rides were what it meant by "being active." But, while good, they pale in comparison to aerobic and strength training that's so efficiently integrated you feel the effects immediately. And you can practice everything at home! Janine listens to every word, and never misses even a nuance. She remembers so much about you and your needs, including the important stuff. She's not a hard sell, and she's a small business owner putting in whatever it takes to help people, and now that business seems to be thriving! So get in with her while you can, and feel the love (for yourself, your body, your new routine). You'll find that it's worth every (lost) ounce of effort and every minute of time. Namaste, Janine. read more

I was visiting a friend in the neighborhood and, like I always do while out of town, searched for a fitness studio to take a few classes. I found Park Fitness and chose it without visiting it because of the availability of classes, the proximity of the location and the overall feel of the pics I saw online. Upon arriving, I was greeted with a warm welcome and a nice cool and clean studio space. My instructor was Lizette and boy was she a firecracker. She was basically born to be a fitness instructor. She was great at coaching all of us despite our various fitness levels and had and infectious energy that kept the class encouraged and sweaty. I had such a good time, that I came back for another class taught by Janine, the owner. Once again, I was very impressed. Janine has a wonderful eye for form and gave us a perfectly balanced workout that made me sore in all the right places. She too had a great energy and encouraged us to work together. Overall, I felt a sense of community there at Park Fitness. I can tell that the owner of the studio really loves what she does and takes care of it as well as her members. It was so nice to be able to feel at home even though I was 3,000 miles away. 5 stars for the studio, the instructors, the ambiance, the workout, the price. I'll be back for sure! read more

Park Fitness offers a variety of challenging classes that have made me stronger and more confident. The owner and instructors are highly committed to their students and foster a sense of community at Park Fitness, which makes coming back to each session all the more worthwhile! read more

I'm a 29-year old male who currently takes cycling and strength/conditioning classes at Park Fitness BK. I've been using the unlimited pass this month and doing about 7-8 classes a week. Janine somehow knows all her clients and creates such a wonderful environment. Lizette and Erin are my favorite instructors but be prepared to work really hard. You get something different each week and they always provide plenty of modifications. Classes are small (8-10 for cycling and 12-15 for strength/conditioning) so you get personalized attention which is rare. read more

Park fitness offers a variety of some of the best fitness classes in Brooklyn. The energy and enthusiasm in this place challenges you both physically and mentally. The instructors are down to earth, dedicated, and cater to each individual. I've tried classes, the bootcamp and personal training and all I can say is -Janine changes lives. read more

A Great workout coupled with fantastic results has been my experience at park fitness bk thus far. I signed up for a class package and a personal fitness package also. I am working with Daquan currently and enjoy a challenging and always interesting sequence of boxing and full body training and exercise. The equipment is high functioning and all new, very clean. I can not say enough good about the friendly and knowledgeable staff of trainers and instructors. I guess you just have to go and see for yourself. read more

I started going to Park Fitness a couple months ago and Im totally addicted. The vibe is open, friendly and relaxed so people of all fitness levels will feel comfortable. Im getting back into exercise after a few years so its nice not to feel intimidated. The instructors will show you modifications if you need the low impact option. I take three very different classes a week, each instructor is awesome and I can feel that Im getting a great workout. Im really glad this place opened, you can't always find a gym with so many class options. And it's very clean! read more

PFBK was sorely needed in the neighborhood, and Janine being my (excellent/thorough) personal trainer from another gym did a great job in making it happen. It's a clean, new, well lit and spacious gym for either one on one training or for the multiple classes given on their weekly calendar. I've been doing the wknd classes and they definitely deliver, you'll come away feeling spent, in a good way. Next up Yoga... ;-) read more

Had a great yoga session at this clean, sunny, bright new fitness venue.. Friendly, professional, positive attitude...all so good! T

A wonderful addition to the Ditmas Park neighborhood! Janine, Lizette, and the other trainers/instructors are friendly and encouraging. Janine makes an effort to get to know everyone who walks through the door. I've taken several classes, including the Boot Camp, and I'm always glad I went. The classes are challenging, but the encouragement from the instructors and team mentality make it the workout more enjoyable. read more

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am far from a "morning person". I came to Park Fitness BK a few months ago for a Saturday Zumba class. The class was awesome and after, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Janine. That was when she told me about her boot camp series. I was intrigued so I ran home and signed up for the next round. I was so excited to get started. I love being a part of these boot camp classes. The 3 morning a week commitment is exactly what I need to kick start my day (and I have never missed a class!) I am now in my second series and I couldn't be happier. I happen to live around the corner, but even if I didn't, I would travel far and wide to attend Janine's classes. My fitness level improves each week. When I started, I could barely touch my toes or hold both squat and lunge positions. Her studio is clean, the staff is professional, the other classes rock, and the studio is well stocked with all kinds of equipment, including, but not limited to, a TRX, Bosu balls, yoga mats and free weights. Janine inspires me to be my best self every day. I always feel welcomed by her and the rest of the community. It is a perfect addition to the Ditmas Park/ Kensington neighborhood. Stepping in there for the first time was one of the best decisions I've ever made. read more
