My son took the trial classes for Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and was hooked. ECMMA has given my son the confidence, mindset, and skills that most people do not even possess. Then, my wife started taking Sparring classes and Kickboxing where fitness and health became her daily routine. Soon, my youngest son and I followed by taking BJJ classes, along with my daughter who took the same classes with her mom. All the instructors/coaches are dedicated in helping every member to achieve their growth and development, and reach their full potential through fitness and confidence, which is priceless. ECMMA is a family oriented gym, yet also produces competitive home grown athletes from surrounding local schools. ECMMA also added 6am BJJ classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Once in a while, ECMMA also invites instructors and athletes from different gyms as guests to give tutorials. The facility has two open mat areas, shower, and a weight room that is located in the basement. If I can start learning BJJ at 43 years old, then everyone can - it's all due to the support and guidance of each instructors. Our family have planted our flag here in ECMMA and we invite everyone to experience the positive vibes and energy, while building a better version of yourself through fitness and health.

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.

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.

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! The fellow students are extremely friendly and respectful to each other and that seems to be the focus of the training, makes it so easy to learn while having fun. Even though I am just a yellow belt, I see myself continuing my self improvement here along with my two children. Great school!

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 child was recently hired for a summer lifeguard position at Life Time, and unfortunately the…read moreonboarding experience has been extremely disappointing. She is currently a high school senior balancing final exams, end-of-year sports commitments, concerts, and other school obligations she has committed to through graduation. Throughout communication with the manager she would be reporting to, she provided the days and times she was available based on her school schedule and activities. However, no specific onboarding or training dates were clearly communicated upfront, such as mandatory dates for the team. After a misunderstanding regarding "next week" versus the week after Memorial Day -- when she actually has days off from school -- she received a message stating that more availability was expected from her. Shortly after, he informed her that he would have to let her go because of this. What was also concerning was the expectation of ongoing text communication during the school day. In New York, students are not permitted to be using their phones during school hours, yet she felt pressured to respond. Students and parents should be aware of this lack of communication and understanding when dealing with high school applicants. Clear onboarding expectations and schedules should be communicated upfront, especially when hiring students who are still actively in school. A little professionalism and respect for academics would have gone a long way here.

It can get a bit crowded at certain times of the day and since its a really small gym youll be waiting a bit to use your preferred machine. The staff are all well mannered people and have never given any issues. HOWEVER........ The one major drawback to this place is that it almost never has any running hot water. Every month seems to be an issue (and im not exaggerating). Im not sure if they are having trouble paying the bills here or if someone is turning the hot water valve off for days at a time but it is a constant issue. Me personally I work out before i head straight to work so a shower is needed after a hard hour or two sweating bullets. Just this morning I walked to the locker room after working out and one of the guys who frequents this place said to me "hey the water is luke warm today" and this is the running gag with everyone here, being delighted just for luke warm shower water. Litterally everyone in the locker complains about it every month. Anywho I step in the shower and put it on max heat but instead was drenched in water from antarctica. I did find some comic relief in it though, as others who stepped in there showers looking forward to the "luke warm" rumor but were disappointed, and then it became a symphony of complaints and anguish LOL. Theres something very funny about grown men just in agony about not having hot water. Men of all ages young and old getting together in a gym locker room and throwing a fit. I was told that blink was bought out and now owned by a company called PURE FITNESS. Well pure fitness, how about some pure hot water? Seriously though, the only reason i still come here is because its literally right by my job and also because its been so hot that the below zero water isnt so bad once you step outside in that 90 plus degree heat. Yet winter will be upon us soon and i dont know if i can survive bathing in arctic water without turning into a chocolate freezy pop. The one thing I do appreciate is that when you walk in they now have a sign that stands by the desk letting you know that theres no hot water. The thing is the sign is standing for weeks at a time. Seriously, in june there was no hot water for almost 3 straight weeks. I mean i cant understand whats going on at this place. We had hot water all last week and then i walk in this morning and its cold again. I just realized that it is the end of the month and I know now that liberty utilities doesnt play about that money.....

The gym isn't super big, but it wasn't massively overcrowded either so I didn't have to wait for any machine at all. All of the machines were in working order so I got to use what I wanted to use, the weight racks were actually well put together and not scattered all over the place...I'm guessing since this is a Long Island area, people have better manners. I'm giving this place a 5 and it's a generous one. Staff seemed pretty nonexistent and I had to get their attention to greet them, but I'll let it slide because they do take care of the gym or at least make sure the other gym goers not mess it up. It was a good day here.
