People here are very respectful and mindful of others, which is really important. There are classes Monday-Saturday. Legit the best workout ever (I've done crossfit, powerlifting, hiit, yoga, etc). It works your core, your overall strength, upper body, lower body, and also your mind. The gym helped me make become better in other things too outside the gym (eating habits, running more, etc!!) They do other activities too - beach trips, conditioning in parks, etc!!

I'm beginning to find, as I get older, that experiences that have the ability to completely…read moretransform your life become more rare. When you are young, you are constantly trying and learning new things, figuring out for yourself what you love to do and eliminating those you don't. You start to find a passion for things like soccer or piano, and stick with them, loving to play. Then you grow up, responsibilities kick in, and time becomes more limited. Most of the time, I find myself trying to recreate the fun I had as a kid by re-experiencing situations with new people or joining an adult sports league with random people, which is not at all the same feeling you get from being on a real, dedicated team. The art of Muay Thai is one of the only sports or activities that has unexpectedly thrilled me in a way that is brand new, and leaves me craving more and more. The only other sport that does it for me is scuba diving. There are some similarities between the two: family, fear facing, fitness, and fun. 1. FAMILY: When you join 8 Venoms Muay Thai, you become a family. You are there to support and help each other. You may find that if you sign up for a free trial that you become addicted in more ways than one, to the class and to the people. Your new teammates will be the ones asking if they'll see you next class, and part of the reason you say yes is because you don't want to disappoint them, and it happens in that split second after they ask the question when their face is bright with pure joy from the class and the suspense for your answer. You can't make new friends like this in a typical gym atmosphere and you sure as hell will never find the strength of a family like 8 Venoms Muay Thai. 2. FEAR FACING: "Do one thing every day that scares you." - Eleanor Roosevelt Muay Thai is a fighting sport. You will hit and get hit. 8 Venoms gets its name because Muay Thai is known as the Art of 8 Limbs: 2 fists, 2 elbows, 2 knees, and 2 shins. You will learn to use all of them. I'm a fear facer and a big believer in it. Do I get nervous? Yes. But that's the only way to get stronger. 3. FITNESS: One aspect of Muay Thai among many that you can't get from a regular gym is that it's both a mental and physical exercise. I consider myself a forever student. If I'm not constantly learning something new, I start to get bored. I never would have dreamed that discovering Muay Thai would have been the absolute best gift I could have given myself for my recent birthday (Thanks Skylar B. who turned me onto it). I have been to many gyms: oldschool average joe's gyms, giant gym chains, boxing gyms, etc. Before this class, I considered myself to be healthy, very active, and pretty athletic, but damn, did I get a wake up call. The class starts with jump roping... Who knew that jump roping could be so hard?! I thought I was going to die the first few times. My legs were sore as hell. I guess lifting just can't get you there. Then there's cardio, core, and flexibility, which is awesome. I'm not too too bad on the cardio and core front, but I def. struggle and need improvement. I honestly thought I was a flexible human until now...wooweee, not so much. I think part of the reason I have trouble doing certain skills sometimes is because my hips are not at all used to turning over in such a way while the balls of my feet do something else and my arm is outstretched at the same time. I swear, at the least, Muay Thai will keep my body from getting old and decrepit. Then there's the lessons on different Muay Thai skills and techniques: boxing, kicks, defense, etc, which is really... 4. FUN: Omg it's so much fun. Instructor Gian is extremely knowledgeable and cares about his students. His analogies and descriptions make everything really easy to understand. I partner with my sister sometimes and we have laughing fits. It's just fun to learn something new, practice it, and eventually get it right. I guess I should say it's funnier when you get it wrong and more rewarding when you get it right. I find myself even daydreaming about it, replaying skills I've learned in my head, and hoping that by thinking about it my body will react how I want it to (so far it doesn't, but I'm trying!). All skill levels are welcome. I am a giant newb right now. I hate it lol, and I'm determined to get better. There was a little kid in the class too and he could really hang with the rest of us. Then, there are also those who are really advanced. 8 Venoms is located in the FMA Center and the storefront is really deceiving. If you enter in the front, you go down the stairs and the place is huge. There's the front desk area, and a large viewing room, for anyone there who needs to wait. If you park in the back lot, you can enter that way and walk past the koi fish tank. The actual training space is very large with ample space to move around, and the 7:30 pm class times are also really convenient for me to make after work w/the option of the 1 class on Sat. Try it!

After a decade of being overweight since college and having tried numerous times myself, I decided to get serious and get a trainer. Within 5 months of working with Gil, I reached my goal weight and dropped 45 lbs! On top of that, strength grew tremendously. Went from getting exhausted at the thought of a pull up to doing 10 pull ups in a row with ease. Muscle definition and size has grown quite a bit and clothes fit much better now. Dropped 5 waist sizes on my pants and when from a size L/XL to a S/M. It feels good trying on slim fit clothes and they fit well. All my friend and family has been commenting on how much weight I lost and how much better I look. Highly recommend Gil and have been recommending him to everyone.

When I joined NBI Fitness, my goals were to learn the best way to tone and maintain after reaching…read moremy desired weight. While I enjoy the gym, I needed to work with a trainer to establish routines that were effective and that would help me to meet my goals. From the time I reached out to get more information, I was extremely pleased with Gilbert's immediate response and in his attention to detail when working through my regimen with me. He is a professional who obviously cares a lot about the work he does and about his clients. I have the pleasure of working out with Trinnie. She is fantastic! I learn something from her during every single workout. She is extremely knowledgeable and shares a lot of information on nutrition and fitness. She makes excellent recommendations and has given me so many new ideas on how to frame nutrition/workouts, etc. What I first considered to be an indulgence (I've been a gym member and I've worked with trainers - I could have tried on my own) turned out to be the best investment I could have made in my health and fitness.

I've now taken over 50 classes and feel I can leave an honest review. The GM, Drew, and the rest of…read morethe staff are all very welcoming. When I arrived on my first day, I wasn't exactly sure what I'd be stepping into. I wasn't familiar with Rumble's style of training that has your trainer also working as a DJ in a dark-ish room. Thought I wasn't exactly sold to start the class, the amount of calories I burned in just 45 minutes was amazing. I've been hooked to Rumble Boxing ever since and have attended nearly 20 classes this month alone. As someone who has worked out all their life but still appreciates some structure, Rumble has been excellent. Kay, Kwest, Steph and Zeke are all great at what they do. The only coaches I haven't had the pleasure of working out with is Drew himself, and the newest addition, Keith. I've never gotten through a class that felt like a waste of time. My apple watch normally reflects between 550-750 calories burned during our 45 minute sessions -- I highly recommend RBE!

Here and there I will take a spin class and I found out about Zing thru a friend of mine who taught here. The owners are super friendly and the facility is spotless. I will say it's a trek coming from Hackensack but heck, I used to spin at a cycling studio in Montclair-lol. I can now only spin maybe once or twice a month but I think I received some email about a special with barre. I do know there is a Pilates place inside the facility so maybe there is some sort of partnering of classes. I must check my email for the notice again. I even told my daughter about Zing and she and one of her college friends went to a class. They also said the people were very nice, class was challenging, and they did not feel uncomfortable with being the newbie. I plan to return to Zing soon and to take class on a Sunday with Hannah. I like Hannah. The other instructors are great too but I'm always supporting to tall woman. Hannah is a tall young lady like me . I will admit that I'm not that young though but I am young at heart-lol. Anyhow, try Zing Cycle out; you will not be sorry. I am super happy that I no longer need to travel to Montclair. You say but I can spin at a regular gym and take other classes and it will be cheaper. Yes, you're right; but, here's the thing. I've belonged to numerous big box gym chains and I was what you call the gym rat. Over the past 4 yrs since going to classes at boutique specialty gyms, I like the experience so much better! If you are the serious workout person, try a boutique studio like Zing. I guarantee that You will not be sorry

He gives daily 1-1 feedback on food choices that you've made throughout the day and will also help you reach your weight goal without having it feel like torture. The daily feedback is a unique system that I haven't really heard of with any other trainer. I was never able to lose weight on my own...from so many failed diets and exercise routines, it felt impossible. I was really in a slump and was not happy with my health or my eating habits. But luckily, after finding Gilbert and this gym, I've been able to lose 7 pounds so far and it's only been a little over a month! (This might not seem like a big deal but is a great feat for me as I do love my cheat meals here and there :) ) I feel a difference in my body, my fitness level, and my overall approach to eating and exercising. Not to mention, their private gym is really nice and follows great COVID measures (temperature taken at door, masks required and sanitizers available throughout) and there are never that many people. I've learned a lot of different exercises (including kickboxing even!) and feel a lot more confident at the gym and in myself. I'm so glad I made this investment for my health. Thanks for everything Gilbert and Trinny!
