Couldn't have been more happier with my decision to sign my son up to karate. But not just…read moreanywhere, here specifically. Who would've thought that a child of then 5 would have such a rough year for their first real school experience with bullying. My son did, and it was really affecting his behavior in school and then eventually at home. I knew that he needed a positive place to release the stress a young 5 year old can feel. Within 3 months I've noticed such a big change in his behavior, he was walking around with a smile and less aggravated to attend school. He is in his 8th month this December and in first grade now and I no longer pick up an angry child from school. He is more confident, self assured and although it has gotten tougher for him he has stuck it through and made some friends he can hopefully build long lasting relationships with. What makes this place great besides the beautiful space and well kept dojo and bathrooms are the Senseis. Both Sensei Luis and Sensei Rahul are amazing with the kids. Disciple, structure and respect will be learned here and they demand it. They are serious and tough on the young ones, pushing them to their full potential. And on the other hand they are very playful and loving and give the kids a break with occasional games when they are deserving. The children really show interest to be here, they are ready in line and excited. I have seen some amazing students that they have molded in this dojo and only hope that Noel will also follow their footsteps. Glad to be apart of the BX Martial Arts family. I truly am grateful for my sons Senseis and have an immense amount of respect and love for what they do for our children. Keep it up!

Highly recommended for fitness enthusiasts, martial arts amateurs and people wanting to take their skills to the next level.

I have been doing a parent-child Muay Thai class with Coach Nawin for the last couple of months and…read moreit's been a fantastic experience. My almost-5-year-old loves it and I'm enjoying learning a new skill. Coach Nawin is definitely well credentialed, having trained and competed in Muay Thai for decades. More importantly, though, he's an excellent and patient teacher, able to switch seamlessly between instructing my daughter and myself and keeping her engaged. Teaching is as much a skill as fighting and Coach Nawin is very gifted in both areas. This is what you want if you're looking to learn from any starting skill level. I can't recommend MobileThaiBoxing and Coach Nawin highly enough. On top of that, he'll come to you! If you're on the fence, take a class. You'll be glad you did.

Words cannot describe the experience I had with HDT and how grateful I am for my results. I found…read moreHDT through a Groupon and tried its unlimited month pass. I usually find it hard to stick with fitness classes, as I need to feel comfortable within a given environment and around the attendees. Angel made me feel like I was part of the family and still managed to give me personal attention even with a class full of people. He has this relationship with everyone, not to mention the support I received from the other members. Angel's classes are setup with HIIT circuits with cool downs that actually produce results. I struggled for years with push-ups and managed to build enough strength to get them done. My clothes got loose and my family and friends raved about my progress. I was so relieved, as I have struggled with my weight since I was a child and finally received results. You definitely should try HDT out and see for yourself!

Interesting gym, and depending on who you are, what you're looking for, what your goals are and…read morewhat "needs" you want met, then you're either going to love or hate this place. You're either going to either feel out of place, intimidated, overwhelmed or embrace its grittiness and appreciate the atmosphere. Daro's Extreme Fitness isn't a gym for everyone. It's gritty, it's ugly, its no frills its more for people who just want to get in there, do their work and then get the heck out. Basically, it's a gym for the "hardcore". For the people who want to work out then scram. For the bodybuilders, for the athletes, for the ones who can embrace hard work in an ugly environment. Personally, I don't have a problem with this but if you're someone who needs tanning, towel service, flat screen t.v.'s, Zumba classes, who needs to be accommodated with more "finer things", then this isn't the place for you. Equipment: This place has all the bare essential needs for your weight lifting pump. The machines are great, work well and there's several types of machines for every part of your body. Some of the dumbbells might look rusty and old but they serve their purpose as much as any brand new dumbbells, and personally, I like thay they look like that. In addition to the machines and weights, there's a little fitness bar/jungle gym in the middle of this place for all your body weight exercises. There's a boxing bag and kick boxing bag, and towards the back, there's a pro-wrestling gym. Yes, pro -wrestlers get trained here. Of course there's treadmills, bikes, and all the good stuff for your cardio needs. Facility: Okay, this place is ugly like I mentioned before. There's nothing pretty about this place at all. Its dark, dim, industrial and grimy looking. It looks like they are trying to fix the place up more or they were trying but just put down all the home improvement tools and finished halfway. Its medium sized, so you won't feel cramped and the place doesn't seem to ever get too packed even during the busiest of hours. The locker room is spacious enough to change but my gripe is the bathroom. Like I said, I don't mind the grittiness but the bathroom is ridiculous. Its very small, very cramped and looks all shoddy. The toilet and sink work but the shower has no curtain....So yeah, I don't know how to go about that. The bathroom is good just for one person, its VERY, VERY small. I don't got to the gym for the music but like almost any gym these days, get prepared to hear top 40 crap and if a lot of Dominicans are in the house, they'll pump up some of that crappy bachata-merengue mixes.This is not important to me for I block out the music but if it is to you, bring your headphones, MP3 and own music. There's also a small lounge area if you're waiting for someone, with a pool table. Staff/People: This is one of the things I really enjoyed about the gym. The people who worked here were super nice and made me feel like I was apart of a great group of friends and answered all the questions I asked with no problem. They definitely try to make you feel welcomed and comfortable, so that means a lot to me. And the people who come to this gym seem cool. Yeah, its a "real gym" but no one really tries to be the king of the hill. No ego's here. Pricing: I was able to get information on membership cost before I get to that, if you just want to come in for a day and workout, its 5 dollars, NOT BAD! And if you want to do some pro wrestling training, its 10 dollars. Here's the membership fees (the numbers are the cost). 1 month=$35, 2 months=$60, 3 months=$90, 6 months=$120. There's 2 one year memberships but its goes like this, 1=$75 dollars BUT you have to pay a dollar every time you come to workout instead of 5 dollars a day for if you were to do a walk in. 1 year=249 dollars and covers everything. In essence, if you live in the Bronx and close to the area, and just want to workout somewhere that's not expensive, if you're the type of person that goes to a gym just to workout, then this is the place for you. If you want a tan, spa, towel service, oil body rubs, flat screen t.v. pristine, shiny sparkly place, classes and many more, then this place won't do you justice. Overall, its a good gym, good atmosphere and it can more than get the job done. NOTE: Until the Yelp team changes some of the business info, here is the actual address: 1123 Close Ave, Bronx, N.Y, 10472 And the nearest train to the location is the 6 train to Elder Ave and walk 2 blocks to Close ave or you can take the 2 or 5 train to Simpson street and walk straight down on Westchester till you get to Close Ave (about 5-10 minutes walk). Hours: Sun=7Am-4PM, M=7AM-12AM, T-F=7AM-12AM, S=7AM 6PM.
