    I rarely leave reviews for gyms but I felt that it was necessary here because it was really a…read moresubpar experience. I tried this gym out for 1 day with my bf after seeing a Groupon online for $60/one month unlimited. It's been a while since I've actively done Xfit and I thought it would be a great idea for my bf to try it as well even for just a month. I reached out to Coach Lloyd on 7/29 offering to pay directly at the gym (I try to do this to help business owners out because I know Groupon tends to take a big cut). Coach Lloyd responded that he prefers me to pay at the gym. I was completely fine with that. We show up on 7/30 as the class was starting and we were already warming up so we signed a few waivers and just started working out. We had a fun class, people were nice, and the WOD was whatever to be honest (not sure if it was programmed that way for Friday) - simple movements, no real rep cadence. Coach Lloyd was nice then and friendly and tried to help my bf with his toes to bar. I did note that they had no public chalk, which I thought was interesting because the bars were pretty slippery and could be a safety hazard. We leave and come back on Monday of the following week for another class. I only realized when I returned to the gym that we did not pay Friday because I didn't see a charge on my card. I assumed that Coach Lloyd had charged my BF because he had gotten to the 7/30 class earlier than I did. So I approached Coach Lloyd and asked to pay. He then proceeded to try and charge us the full price under the guise that since we did not pay last Friday. I was very confused since he didn't charge us Friday and let us work out without even a reminder to pay even though we had clear email communication. He then responded that "you forgot to pay and that groupon was for July, it's now august". (Wrong by the way, because the Groupon was still LIVE at that time...) I genuinely thought he was joking at this point since we have an email FROM HIM dated 7/29 confirming the price to be paid, and we showed up at 7/30 (before the groupon was over) and Coach Lloyd never once asked us to pay on 7/30. (Would you let people shop in your store and leave without paying? Is it more the buyer or the seller's responsibility here?) But he was serious about charging us the full price. (There's a huge difference between $60 and almost $200 for full price membership) Coach Lloyd, then begrudgingly (you can tell he was not happy about it) offered the groupon deal after we shared the facts. I then tried to add my card on zen planner over the weekend and it kept rejecting it so I ended up emailing Coach Lloyd again and he said due to new mask mandates that they can't accept new members anymore..... (does that even make sense? We had an agreement on the price and membership and all of a sudden, you can't join anymore). I bet if we were paying full price, they would have no problem with that. My friend Amber reached out to Coach Lloyd on Sunday and of course, Lloyd responded happily to have her join....(she showed me the email).... Lol, if you're going to straight up lie and use the pandemic as a guise for not accepting new members ... what horrible business practice here....cmon dude. He never responded to my email about having card issues. It just became very clear that he did not want us to join the gym. I'm pretty disappointed because I really wanted to give Xfit a shot again but this is not the place, not to mention, the train walk there is pretty scary from Atlantic Ave, even in broad daylight. I know it's tough to be a gym owner but this is not how you build loyalty, especially straight up lying to people. Please do not put a Groupon online if you don't want people to get that price... just feels pointless to do that and I would rather not be treated that way. I was pretty disappointed after this experience. I hope the gym owner takes this feedback to heart. (Everything I said above can be proven with emails and documentation so if you want to reach out to me, I can provide proof of everything.)

No pressure, no judge, good vibes only! Coach is always in control of your technique and ready to answer all your questions. I was surprised how hard I can work in the group when everybody doesn't give up This energy is endless motivation! It's so much fun to do different workouts every time. Got the best form I have ever had after 3 months of regular training. Even feel the health improvement! Grateful for the atmosphere It means a lot, really Such a cool community! Also, convenient to book your spot in the app, usually street parking is easy to find. All Equipment sanitized before and after the workout Thank you guys for all the fun and support. You're working hard for our results and I appreciate it!

The first session was simply a conversation with the trainer solely for the purposes of learning what was important to me so they could tailor not just the workouts, but also ways to help me feel inspired as a whole person. That made me feel so special. The trainers were sure to respect and be mindful of what could seemingly be small details but were important me. That for me is priceless! The physical space itself is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It was designed with so much intentionality that it made the workout sessions even more enjoyable. The small group sessions are lovely. They aren't overstimulating and that was key for me. Every workout session left me feeling inspired, encouraged and renewed not just physically but mentally & emotionally. Lastly, Dani, the owner and founder, is an absolute PLEASURE to do business with and her passion for mind and body fitness is evident. She wants every client to get what they need to feel empowered. She makes herself accessible and easy to communicate with either by phone, email or text. As a nurse leader, I am deeply appreciative of what she has created at Very Personal Training and will continue to do support her business not only with my own personal training but also with group training events that I will host for my clinical team and friends. This place is truly one of a kind!

My trainer, Paola, has been absolutely amazing from day one -- she's knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about helping her clients succeed. What stood out most to me was how comfortable and supported I felt during every session. Paola has this incredible way of pushing you just enough to challenge yourself, without ever making you feel overwhelmed or out of place. Each workout was different and thoughtfully planned, keeping things both fun and engaging. No two sessions were the same -- one day we'd focus on strength and toning, and the next, core stability or endurance. Beyond her expertise, Paola's warm personality really sets the tone. She's encouraging, professional, and always explains proper form so you know exactly what you're doing (and why). I've learned so much about fitness and confidence in my own body through her guidance. The gym itself is clean, welcoming, and designed with women's comfort in mind -- it feels like a safe, positive environment to focus on your goals.

    It is a bare bones gym that skips any bs & sticks to the basics which is totally cool. It is a…read morevery small space to work out in so be prepared for sharing machines & weights that are limited. I had paid for a training package with one particular trainer who was recommended to me by a friend. He seemed like a cool guy, and he knew what he was doing for sure. By my second appointment I learned that one-on-one training wasn't true here: that walking off to go train someone across the room who isn't there for a training session seemed really odd. People/clients could easily see this as unprofessional & inconsiderate after paying for personal one on one training in full to only have 3/4 of their attention. That is absurd. Whether you're a newbie or a professional body builder- your paid training sessions is YOUR paid TIME. In all of my years of utilizing personal trainers I had never experienced such a thing at any other gym. I was confused, and asked about it. He told me that's how he rolls. He was not only late several times for my training sessions, but he didn't make up the time on the back end. The he stopped showing up. Seriously. He owed me two more sessions that were paid for in full. At $80 per session that's $160 that he stole essentially. Travis was his name. I don't know if he still trains there, but I had asked my friend what heck was going on with this trainer whom he highly recommended to me. My friend said that I apparently demasculated him by asking about the dual training with others that he just didn't want to train with me anymore. The guy's the size of a man truck but my inquiry over shared training time that was not a part of my package cut his ego so deeply that he resorted to such petty thievery by essentially stealing money by skipping services paid for. How gross. Incapable of a professional and mature discussion so instead he ghosted me and took my money. Fact. I would never recommend going here or training with someone so uncool, unprofessional, petty, and definitely immature. It was a shitty experience for someone who's friendly to a fault! I was nothing but kind to the guy, and was always friendly. It's what made his treatment of me so shocking. The experience was several years ago! This gym popped up in my Yelp search for training, and I am only just writing this up now! ?

Not only are they following COVID guidelines, they are going ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure the cleanliness at this facility. They disinfect every night. EVERY NIGHT! I know because they post it on social media! If that's still not enough for you, there are disinfectant sprays available for members to use, in every direction you turn. People are mindful of spacing and are kind enough to say Hello. Everyone wears an actual mask and temperature is taken when you enter the doors. Working out is not a hobby, it's a part of living a healthy lifestyle. With all the motivating quotes posted on the walls and the positive energy coming from the Small Business owner, this has now become my happy place. They also contribute to many local businesses and are currently helping with ToysforTots, by gathering as many toy donations to give to kids. This is the kind of place I want to be in during these times of uncertainty. This is where I can interact safely with people and have fun taking care of my mental, emotional and PHYSICAL health. Thank you Burn Fitness.

    I'm going to say this without hyperbole: This gym and the people in it have changed my life. My…read morebody and mind have gone through dramatic shifts in just over 3 months; from the darkest depths of depression, self-doubt, weakness, and laziness, to camaraderie, purpose, strength, and positivity. This is the type of gym you come to to learn and work at. The mirrors here are for technique, not flexing. The ring is for work, not Instagram. You don't want to waste a single minute of your time here, because any time this gym offers you is limited time that you need to value. And if you don't, you're stealing from the next person in line who cares more than you do. There is an air of machismo that permeates the space, but that doesn't imply sexism - it's something different. It's something that anyone of any gender can appreciate and use as a tool to advance their craft. It's something hard, smart, vicious - it feels revived and repurposed from days past, and it's something you may not even know you need. I did. And if you're reading this, you might too. Try to get a spot here. Sign up for just one class. It's not going to be for everyone, but you'll know right away if it's for you. And if it is, you're going to find exactly what you needed. Thank God this spot is here. I don't know what I'd do without it.

    A great place to learn Boxing without breaking the bank. The setup is very much like a college gym…read morethat is: the workout of the day is written on the board, you do it to the best of your ability followed by bag work, pad work and coaching advice on your boxing technique. Overall I think that this gym offers a great Bang For The Buck considering that most Manhattan style Boxing gym's Segment and Monetize individual activities such as one on one coaching, pad-work or even the opportunity to spar. This gym, however, does it more or less as a complete package and at a reasonable rate. Including, if you can make it, Boxing/Boot Camp style classes in the morning, instructed by the owner. Like most boxing gyms in NYC, this GYM is somewhat rough around the edges. But when you get to know the people that work here and the trainers you will soon see you made a good discussion joining this gym, if your intentions are to get in shape and learn the art of pugilism. In a Nutshell, ... A TOTAL PACKAGE ....it's a good place to learn the sweet science without burning a big hole in your wallet.
