Signed up for an intro class online for a Saturday at 1pm. Arrived 10 minutes early like the instructions suggested and had time to sign the waiver and use the restroom (note it's located on the second floor in another part of the gym). Gym was clean, neat and organized and there were two people working out independently in the zone. Met Coach Will that bc of his professionalism and knowledge (and maybe his dimples) made me join the gym. I truly hope the owners and staff have resolved some of the issues that I read from the previous post bc if I sense any shenanigans I'm out! Until then let's build these baby delts! read more

It had been years since I'd done Crossfit and I was reluctant to go back. A friend recommended this place and said they're very accommodating and offer a free trial class. Isabelle and Nazar made it so easy for me to get back in the groove. I've since joined and have been going twice a week. As for the gym as a whole, the other members are cool and it definitely feels like everyone tries to support one another. read more

Have lost ten pounds in 6 weeks - so it works! Meeting new people, especially during the partner workouts and with an intro question of the day. I'm a bit scared of barbells, but they give me modifications with dumbbells and kettlebells. Oh, and the hyrox event was awesome! read more

Speaking about their Bushwick location...Avoid at all costs. This may be the most annoying gym I've ever been a member at. I have the 24/7 gym membership and this is a huge space that always has room to workout. If you sign up for a time but then forget to sign in again from your phone they fine you $15 because they claim it's for your safety to sign in. If you choose to just come in and not sign up for a slot to avoid the ridiculous sign up process for an open gym they also then fine you $15. Furthermore whomever emails about handling these fines is highly rude and condescending. Most of the coaches are nice and amenable to you using the space when they have class but some coaches are flat out rude and disrespectful to open gym members. So glad I am canceling and switching gyms after my last month. read more

Signed up for 24/7 access under the impression that I could walk in and use gym whenever. What's not communicated is that there's a limit of 2 PEOPLE for open workout during times when any class is in session. Those times happen to be 6-9 pm lol, directly after normal hours. Also another annoyance, minor but still frustrating, you cannot just walk up scan a fob and get in, you have to pre-register on an app to "sign up" for open access working out. When I brought this up they were condescending and tried - as all profit hungry businesses do - to make it my fault for reading some small print that doesn't exist. read more

The gym is nice and clean - the instructors are great. Their customer service policies are horrible and exploitative to the point where it doesn't make sense to do business with them. I was out of town and I had my wallet stolen - BK Fit continued to try to charge a cancelled credit card for 3 months before cancelling my membership, then referred the 3 months of payments (in which I never used the gym - I was out of town) to a debt collections agency. Why not just call me? If at any point BK Fit had called me and made me aware of their continued attempts to charge a cancelled credit card I could have paused my membership and updated my payment method for when I returned. Instead they continued to attempt to charge a cancelled card then referred it to collections - all without a phone call. They're even now unwilling to discuss any of this with me via phone because of "policies". Their written (via email) excuse for greedily continuing to attempt to charge a cancelled credit card is, "As our members are all adults, they are fully equipped to exercise their ability to cancel their accounts when necessary." This is a poor excuse for bad customer service from a local gym. The gym is owned by Adam Sturm and Shimi Litkowski. The owners should consider whether they want their business to act like a friendly local gym or a soulless corporation that places money above all else. read more

Folx, gather 'round: it's STORY TIME. Now before we dive in, please know that every statement made here has receipts to back them up, and I will *joyfully* upload them here should I need to #TryJesusNotMe Well first off, I can say all of these things with utter confidence because I was an active and founding member of their Bed Stuy location for over 2 years. Let me break down what I saw and experienced: a.) Horrendous ethics! At the start of the pandemic when gyms were mandated to close, the owners of BK Fit thought that it was appropriate to keep charging members FULL MEMBERSHIP despite no one being able to use the gym. Why, you ask? "...Point of view is that it will keep money flowing into the business, and avoid [them] shutting down or going out of business." The members (self-included) literally had to rally together and send "WTF?!" emails to the owners to get them to finally recognize themselves for the dicks they are. But here's the real question: why did it even take all of that? b.) Treat their employees like shit! I was told first-hand how their coaches were severely underpaid compared to industry standards, the owners had absolutely NO boundaries and contacted their staff at all hours of the night (and often for the dumbest, most non-urgent, most "are you fucking serious right now?!" reasons), and when the pandemic caused gyms to close, they *unceremoniously* laid off some of their most dedicated coaches. Emphasis on "unceremoniously", because I guess it's too much to ask to treat your team with dignity and like the human beings they are. c.) Utter lack of respect and concern for their customers! A leisure peruse through Google, Yelp, etc. reviews will tell you all the ways they've conned people out of money, so I won't spend time there. But don't let the paid positive reviews fool ya (cause yes, they begged us to write reviews in exchange for free t-shirts) - all of those negative reviews can't be lies...even a broken clock is right twice a day. What I can say is that the Bed Stuy members often felt ignored and forgotten. We literally had to BEG for the owners to order a set of 30 lb. dumbbells. Dumbbells ya'll. One set. At a gym. Where we're paying $200+ month in fees. Make it make sense!!! So here's where it gets racial: the Bed Stuy location was the largest membership-wise, most profitable, and - it's important to note here - MOST of the Bed Stuy members were BIPOC. I identify as BIPOC. However, take another leisure stroll through their social media and website and what do you see? Why blatantly ignore a significant aspect of your community just so you can try to portray and appeal to a traditional CrossFit aesthetic? And you have the nerve to operate in one of the BLACKEST neighborhoods in Brooklyn?! #makeitsense So what that tells me is I don't matter to you, but you'll happily take my money because IT does. However in the grand scheme of things, their social media wasn't a hill for me to die on, but I DID decide to throw my entire body in flames down a mountain over their blatant silence when global BLM protests over George Floyd, etc. murders erupted last summer. The same black coaches who they unceremoniously laid off, the same black coaches who were still showing up despite what they were personally dealing with, and the same black members who supported them from Day 1 and were largely contributing to revenue were hurting...and these clowns kept right on posting tone-deaf content (and oh yeah, of mainly white members). No emails of support to the membership. So again, the mighty members had to hop back on their "WTF?!" horses and call the owners out. Instead of accepting responsibility, they asked a BIPOC member (yes, MEMBER) to ghostwrite the messages for them (b/c they of course couldn't be bothered). Then once the weeks-late social media post finally appeared, some people were rightfully disappointed. I was one of them and said as much publicly. This resulted in one of the owners DMing me upset that I *gasp* had the nerve to express myself publicly...because it was ok that I gave them a glowing public review, but I guess it was wrong to give them an honest, accountability-calling public comment as well right? GTFOHWTBS. Then in true performative fashion, he said they were "listening and learning" and wanted to know how to do better going forward, but when I gave honest feedback, it was met with defensiveness, gaslighting, and a whole lot of other fuckery. I don't play with children, so I promptly ended my membership. Fast forward to today, these heauxs have the audacity to use my unauthorized image on sponsored ads. I *respectfully* asked them to not do this in the future, and they blocked me (guess so I could no longer see them violating my rights). But what's important to note here is that they only use images of their BIPOC community to promote "diversity" when they're trying to generate money #panderforprofit. These people are TRASH, CLOWNS, AND DON'T DESERVE YOUR $$! read more

The coaches are phenomenal! However, their contract/pricing leaves a lot to be desired. 1) You can only pause your membership once for 14 days and every day after that there's a fee. 2) If you want to cancel your membership you have to, in effect, do it two months in advance. 3) Fees on fees on fees. The pricing on their pricing page is not actually what you'll be charged. On top of taxes, there's a monthly renewal fee of $20 plus another $7 fee for using a credit card. 4) Despite their strict policies, classes are either closed and/or abridged for the holidays, which they most certainly should. However, if they're going to have such strict billing/membership policies they should themselves to the same standard and credit members for those missed days. 5) During the height of Omicron, I asked for a pause/extension on my membership as I did not feel comfortable going to the gym. This courtesy was not extended and I was told there was no transmission at the gym. Out of caution, I stopped going shortly before I happened to test positive. I've been a member at a variety of locally-owned gym/fitness clubs around the city and this is the only time I've ever felt like I was being extracted for every last dollar. read more

I really enjoy the power lifting classes, which has been a surprise! I'm never lifted heavy weights before, but Anthony is a great coach for beginners and people of all ages. You get lots of personal attention, even in a full class. I'm new to New York and it's been a good way to meet people from the neighborhood. I signed up for my first power lifting competition this spring! read more

My and my partner's time at BK Fit Clinton Hill was one of the BEST CrossFit experiences ever!!!!! I am fairly new to CrossFit and I still remember one of the instructors, Shimi, introducing himself to me, and making me feel comfortable my first day in class! Shimi and all of the instructors truly helped make a safe space for me and my partner to truly be ourselves, to reach our fitness goals, and just to feel good in our bodies!!! They truly cared about our experience and helped us modify any exercises we needed!!! Also, the instructors were SUPER fun each with their own individuality and take on the different workouts! It was exciting to see what new exercise I was going to learn and I truly pushed myself in the best way and was challenged in all the ways I needed to be too!!!! THANK YOU SHIMI AND ALL THE INSTRUCTORS for making this one of the BEST gym experiences ever!! I can't wait to come back!!!! read more

I've never left bad reviews on yelp because if I didn't like the business I just don't go back there again. Most bad yelp reviewers will always give bad reviews. However if I loved them I'd definitely give them a shout out. I have been coming here for 4 months now. I started off with 3 days week and now 5 days/week. Coach Rich and coach Jay are fun to train with. They do care about your improvements and forms. You can get hurt by doing CrossFit if you are not careful just like sleeping on the wrong pillow Lol. I love everything about it but you gotta give CrossFit a chance. Why? Because it'll kick your ass on the first time you tried it especially when you are out of shape. I almost didn't come back but good thing I did. I have no more back pain from sitting all day. Thanks to CrossFit. I love bedstuy location the most. They have 2 showers, Water fountain and closest to my house. It's free to try your first session so why not? read more

Avoid!! VERY DISHONEST AND EXPLOITATIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES. BETTER PUT - GREEDY, UNSCRUPULOUS ASSHOLES. I have apparently been subject to a Mid-Covid Rip-OFF! Charges ($743.17) I was unaware of have been sent to a collection agency (despite my email cancelling membership in March). POTENTIALLY DAMAGING MY CREDIT, MID-COVID, AND WITHOUT EVEN A FRACTION OF THEIR SERVICES AVAILABLE, and no notification of charges prior to a surprise collections letter. When trying to discuss with the business (347-696-7060), I was met with a phone conversation in which the person fielding my call refused to offer any consideration and also refused to provide her name (female "customer service rep" - 1/13/21 @ 1:20). EMAILS TO THE OWNERS, ADAM AND SHIMI, HAVE GONE UNANSWERED. Although an email was sent by BK Fit on 3/26/20, announcing the closing of the facilitie(s), and asking customers to maintain memberships (a 30-day hold was offered), they, at some point, decided to continue billing me without notice, and despite the fact that I sent an email cancelling. Perhaps the most egregious part is the fact that they NEVER (still to this day) continued offering the services I signed up for when I agreed to the contract in 2019. Outdoor facilities that are a 30 min. drive away, and/or online classes seem to have become a loophole for this greedy establishment to continue to serptitiously charge people for services. I get the impression I'm not the only one in this posoition. DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC! The first inkling I received of these "charges" was a letter from a collection agency dated 12/22/20. AVOID! read more

Stay away from this gym! I don't write reviews often but this place is too terrible not to warn others about. Staff shakeups, shower facilities had to be shut down for questionable reasons, etc. Numerous people I know who used to go experienced account payment issues. I did too. All around just a horrible, very overpriced gym. So many better options in the area, like Strength For All, an inclusive gym close by. read more

I was apprehensive to try a CrossFit gym for the first time but this gym is unlike anything I expected. They make everyone feel welcome, regardless of ability. I feel like the coaches care about me and my progress, and are very supportive. The different types of classes are also great - I'm a big fan of the ones with more cardio. My sole complaint is that the max class size is 16 and that can feel crowded if people aren't sure where to go or what to do, but some coaches manage a group of 16 very well. Most classes I've been to are 6-10 people. It's an expensive membership, but I think it's absolutely worth it, and I've been coming back for months. read more

I echo what another reviewer said. I strongly feel this gym is all about making $ and not about creating a great gym. Right after you do your trial class, they swindle you into a membership making it sound like there are no strings attached. Cut to trying to cancel that membership because the gym is nothing like you expected (not enough equipment for the whole class). I signed up for a 6 month membership. After 3 weeks I realized I did not want to be a member. They automatically deducted from my checking account the full 6 months and refused to let me cancel my membership. This is actually unlawful, but not worth taking to court. Because so many people complained, they did change their policy, but I was never reimbursed. It has bothered me for months, so i decided to finally leave a review. read more

I was a little apprehensive to try Crossfit, but My partner and I have been going to this location about 3x a week for almost 5 months and I love it. The workouts can be super hard, yes, but all of the coaches are supportive and no one forces you to do anything you aren't comfortable with. The sense of community here is really welcoming, from the regulars to the coaches, and I was pleasantly surprised at how many coaches and members are lgbtq. Rich and Jay met with us soon after we joined, and have been responsive and helpful to any questions I had about payment, workouts, etc. all in all, can't recommend it enough, and if you are apprehensive, just try one class - it's free and there's basically nothing to lose (but weight!) read more

First I want to say the coaches and the members by in large are incredible. You will be able to get a great work out in and build a community there if you'd like. This complaint is purely based off my interactions with the owner and staff. I took an opportunity to let them know what I thought about their gym via email after they fired two of their best coaches for terrible reasons. One of those coaches was black and they fired him for posting a one star google review, and described the action to me as "publicly disparaging". They also revoked my membership for leaving a review on google, and also for the back and forth (email) interaction, in which I vocalized my opinion on their non inclusivity. If you see most of their negative reviews online, it all comes back to one of the owners in particular, Adam. They have a history of not treating their coaches fairly, they over pack classes to get more money, and have not replaced their equipment in sometime. Please be aware of this gym read more

I recently joined a month ago, and I'm impressed with the progress I'm making already. Great class structure and great equipment. I I have only taken classes with Coach Rich and Coach Jay; they are awesome teachers and motivators. The gym is super welcoming to all (lots of LGBT and POC). Im feeling more excited about the summer already. read more

I went into this very skeptical and even more so nervous. We've all heard the rumors and horror stories about CrossFit. We've seen the articles about how it's easy to injure yourself. We've heard the jabs how it's very cult-like and while injuries do happen, I can honestly say it's about the coaches, the location and what you put into it. (Also, what fitness trend, fad, lifestyle, or otherwise, isn't like a cult? Life is just one big cult, tbh). I woke up at the crack of dawn to get to a 6am class and, while I was tired as heck, the intimate crowd and the energy woke me right up. It's nice to be in an atmosphere where everyone is present and supporting one another. It's also a smaller gym. A smaller community and everyone is super focused - but not only on themselves but you as well. You can get a lot done when you're not listening to your headphones or distracted by your phone. CrossFit may not be for you but it's worth a try. Glad this was my introduction to it. Looking forward to continuing to be part of this community. read more

Amazing Crossfit gym! Excellent instructors and equipment. I've been to other gyms in the past and had subpar experiences especially when it comes to safety and technique but all the coaches here make sure you are doing things properly. Bonus: there's a lovely community of people. Couldn't recommend it more. read more

To the owner of the location on bedstuy your associates have bad customer services I have attended to find info about gym and the so called employee completely ignored me while I was trying to seek information about your establishment. It's not first nor second times 4 times read more

Out of all the CrossFit boxes in Brooklyn, this is my all time favorite one. The manager Rich is very kind, funny, and super attentive. The coaches like Jay and Adele are amazing. They remember your name, they care and push you. Additionally, the music here is the besttttttt. Love them ! Join and visit this box. Lastly, they are super punctual and care about your stretches in the end. read more

I have been a member of various boxes and this one is nothing close to a crossfit. This is more of a regular gym calling themselves crossfit. Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

I wasn't sure about CrossFit in the beginning but this is the best gym I have ever joined. Trainers are awesome and encourage you. Great gym

This place has ultimately become my home. I walked in not knowing anything about the sport and was welcomed with open arms. I have met the majority of the people in my life that I consider to be good friends here. The class instruction is great, and they make a point to ensure that every person gets the attention they need regardless of skill level. They have helped me out and been understanding in the face of my financial struggles, always willing to work with me. I enjoy coming here everyday, and have had to remind myself many times that I have my own apartment that I should probably spend some time in as well. read more

Awesome staff and friendly members! No reason to fear Crossfit at all! If you're new, workouts can be tailored to any skill level and to any injuries. All feel welcome and highly recommend dropping by for a trial class. read more

I had been a member of this gym for nearly 6 months (which amounts to paying them $1200 at their exorbitant prices). I decided I want to give Aerial Yoga a try one day, and to my dismay the trainer (who I will at least have the decency to not name directly, unlike her) was the rudest woman I met in my life. I approached her before the class and let her know that I was new to the class and requested a spot in the back so that I wouldn't distract the more seasoned aerialists. Instead of being accommodating, she made an announcement to the entire class and brought me up front where she proceeded to squeeze my love handles and call me names such as "Titty Boy" and "Ms. Piggy". What I thought would be a new type of bodyweight exercise actually turned into a 30 minute exhibition in some kind of hazing, as the instructor allowed each member of the class spit on me while I was made to crawl around on my hands and knees dressed as some sort of large baby. What was the most surprising, however, was the fact that no aerial yoga was actually done. The only solace I found was that the instructor became distracted halfway through the ritualized abuse of me to yell at a vertically challenged man who was trying to use the squat rack on the other side of the gym. While I don't agree with the number of slurs that the mustached gentleman used while arguing with the instructor, I did find his exaggerated impression of a Chinese man to be quite charming. The instructor did not handle this interaction professionally and began to stomp her feet before calling the owner of the gym to report the miniature mustachioed man who was simply trying to do his squats in peace. This man was a hero, in my eyes, as it was during this confrontation that I managed to remove the wrist bindings and ball gag that had been put on me (albeit at my own request) and slip out the back door so that I could wash off the spit and shame that I was subjected to during the aerial yoga class. Overall, I do not recommend this gym if you like to workout on your own, or if you prefer your masochism to be more private and intimate. 2/5 stars read more
