This place is the real deal!! I found Blitz Krav Maga through a Groupon deal and have really…read moreenjoyed my experience here so far. The facilities are clean and supplied with a lot of equipment. But most importantly, the instructors are excellent at teaching very practical self defense skills that are applicable to real world situations. They create an environment that feels safe for learning, even for a total beginner, with just the right amount of challenge. If you're looking for a place to train Krav Maga in Long Island, I'd highly recommend Blitz.

I am in favor of having Blitz Krav Maga expand to different states and countries. Thank you.

Pros: - Dariel or D is the owner of the place and the main instructor for Krav and Fitness Bootcamp, and he is amazing! He knows when to push you for bootcamp (expect some yelling) but he doesn't overdo it. Overall, he is just a great instructor - explains everything in detail and does it slowly so you can grasp the concept he is trying to teach - Krav Maga classes - amazing group of people to work with - everyone is super friendly and is eager to help each other learn (the seniors are grouped in with the beginners which is great bc you learn the techniques faster and more accurately); I go every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday for Krav so I can keep learning new techniques; I am terrible at coordination but Krav is definitely helping me get better at it and making me stronger; besides self defense you learn how to act when there is a gun involved - Fitness Bootcamp classes - each class is different; D actually spends the time and makes sure each class is different so you can work on a different group of muscles and he also makes it fun bc you don't know what to expect; now that the weather is warmer we are running outside which is nice; I go every Wednesday and Sunday to stay fit bc it's a great workout (you get what you put in) and you won't get bored - Martial Blade Concept (MBC) classes - great class to learn about how to act when you're confronted with knives situations - Facility is clean and doesn't smell - Close to the LIRR station - you can easily walk from the LIRR station to here Cons: - No lockers - 1 year commitment

I bring my son here to learn Taekwondo and I've waited a while before writing a review because I…read moredidn't want to be overzealous too soon. This business is absolutely incredible and if you haven't brought yourself or your child here yet then what the heck are you waiting for?? The discipline, exercise, and demand for perfection from the students is not only above average but top tier. This is the third martial arts studio (if that's the right word) that I've brought my son to in 4 years and this is the first place that actually demands perfection to earn belts- this is not a belt factory or a social club like the other places I've brought him to. The other two places I brought him to simply gave tips and belts based on the number of classes attended which is ridiculous. If you want to graduate you have to pass the class, right? Instructor John is incredibly polite, stern and professional. I wish I knew about this place sooner. Also, this is a black belt academy that participates in local and national tournaments so it's not just an after school activity. Facility is immaculate, parking is fantastic despite what I initially feared because there's an entire parking lot of substantial size on the end of the shopping strip, easy to get out and back on the road as well, and pricing is incredible for the value of the education and exercise my son is receiving. Instructor John is awesome with the kids and has a pow wow with each one of them as they exit the mat. No snowflakes here! And if my son cries, oh well! The world is a tough place and Instructor John gets them ready for it! My son will be a student for life as far as I'm concerned.

Terrible teacher, we came in today for the first time for my 3 yo son. The teacher asked my son to…read morehave a class with another 6 yo child who has been there over 6 months. He asked the same to my son and the other older child, and very impatient, and finally the teacher pissed me off because he pull my son's collar and hurt his neck, my son cried badly, keeping saying neck pain. I ask the teacher to apologize to my son for his rudeness but he refused at first, and said I did nothing. Finally I called 911, he said sorry. I don't recommend this place for younger child, even though they said they are for 3-5 children, but they give zero patient to young children. Can't imagine how could this place keep running as the teacher is such rude and impatient.

The instructors are very clear and one can really take the discipline to all levels, casual to competitor. This school actually has a travel team. The quality of this school shows with the competitions it has won in the past. Master Jung Jin Kim, is really very clear in his instructions. Instructor Anna is really great with the children, not only that she is highly skilled and a powerful kicker. Her discipline seems flawless. Instructor Matthew is a great young role model and Instructor Joseph is also great to work with. Most of all, instructor Matthew raises the standards and really keeps this place from being a typical black belt factory. You better know your form, kicking, and self defense here when working with him!

In 2 months, my daughters focus, discipline, academics, soccer, and maturity have all improved tremendously. The school is caring, and they make sure to keep the family involved as your child embarks on their journey. She made yellow belt in 2 months, and will be graduating to it next month. She was promoted into the black belt academy program with her white belt. The foundation and structure they provide is a great blue print which you can enact at home to keep consistency. If you're on the fence about registering, I would encourage you to do it. They have been extremely flexible with me, and to me the cost of the school vs investing into my daughter is a non-consideration as I believe this program will allow my daughter to grow into the person we see : loving, caring, hardworking, smart, and dedicated. Thank you Go For It for helping us develop our daughter into a leader.

My brother in law has been talking about Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym for years. "The top body…read morebuilders from all over train here!" I'm told. I mentioned for Father's Day, lets treat ourselves and work out at the Powerhouse Gym! What's great about this gym, they offer a daily rate. So we all agree to meet Saturday morning at Powerhouse Gym in Syosset. A very nice man greets us at the counter. He takes our information and scans each one of us into the system. We all start talking about "Bev Francis", Powerlifting champion of the 80s who broke more than 40 world Powerlifting records as well as the first woman to bench press over 300lbs. I'm diggin' the spot already! We're racking up the plates and ready to start our work out. A few regular members start talking to us, one guy tells me: There is equipment here from the 1970s! I'm not talking about old, junky stuff. There are certain tried and true weight lifting equipment that will never be out of fashion to use. Now I start looking at the other members. There are quite a few, just insane members that are lifting some serious weight. After working out I notice something I'm taking away from the gym: Old guys. That's right. When I was a kid in Brooklyn, my dads friends thought they were tough like Sonny Coleone. Not these guys. They were a few years older than me, but all in great shape. I watched them working out, just throwing weights around and having a good time. This isn't Planet Fitness where you have folks "resting" after each set. All of the members are a serious bunch of folks with serious goals. It was a pleasure to work out at Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym. I live in Stony Brook, otherwise I'd be here working out on the weekends

I was visiting family in the area and needed a place to workout. I had already tried a local Planet…read moreFitness on their free day pass a few days earlier, which was fine...I suppose, but I needed something better. I'm not from NY and was not previously familiar with Bev Francis' Powerhouse Gym. What an experience! First, this place is enormous. Largest square footage of pure lifting equipment I've ever seen, and even more so, the largest variety of machines. Some contraptions so esoteric, it's not even clear what muscles they work from looking at them. The place is like the Smithsonian of weight machines. But there were a few things I discovered that I really loved and wished my own local gym had something similar. Second, this place is crowded. I was there mid-morning Saturday, and it was packed. I didn't need to wait for machines since I wasn't following a specific program, but if I had gone with a very specific set of exercises and order in mind, it would have been frustrating. The equipment condition varied depending on their age. Some was great, some seemed like they should have been retired a decade ago. Be aware that the gym caters more to elite bodybuilding than elite powerlifting. It won't make a difference for 99% of people, but as one example, there was a relative paucity of squat racks and benches for a place this large. If you are worried about being intimidated by the clientele, that may be a reasonable concern. I'm one of the biggest guys in most gyms, and I was only about average among the 100+ guys that were there. Having said that, there were only 1-2 freakishly large dudes (i.e. probable pro-bodybuilders), and the handful of people I interacted with seemed all relatively friendly. But it's not a place for beginners. Tiny annoyance: they have 2 scales which differed by 7 pounds (despite zeroing the ancient balance scale)

Prices are a bit steep but it gets better if you go on a family plan. They also provide a lot of gym amenities to make the pricetag worth it. From pickleball courts to rock climbing. Basketball courts as well. There are so many things to do at the facility beyond normal gym and fitness. They also have an indoor and outdoor pool. Both of them are very large and spacious. The outdoor one also has waterslides and a poolside bar and grill. It really feels like a resort. The indoor amenities are good as well. You can relax in the hot tub or sit in a sauna/steam room. There are also cold plunge pools. I love the unlimited studio classes. Xtreme intervals and maxout upper/lower body are my favorites. The instructors are energetic and motivating. They always keep me on my toes while keeping the overall class still fun and entertaining. If you're looking for more than just a basic gym, Life Time is the place to be. Highly recommend--it's transformed my fitness routine!
