The classes are super intense, during 1 hour we had a chance to catch our breath only for couple minutes and went back to the exercises.

But it will definitely be sooner then later!

I've achieved a 27-pound weight loss, and now I know how to fight. I couldn't have done this without Coach Terry and BKMMA.

Unfortunately, my 3 year old daughter was not ready to start classes with them yet…read more Despite that, I would like to thank instructor Doras for being so patient with her. It usually takes my daughter quite some time to warm up to people and the environment but she was already acting silly in no time (unfortunately failed at following instructions though lol). She suggested for me to bring my daughter over to observe their toddler classes during the week just so she can get an idea of what she could be learning and get used to the environment. I hope we can be back for official classes in maybe 6 months to a years time.

People were extremely friendly, encouraging, and supportive. Instructors remembers your name after one class and corrects your form if it's not accurate so you don't hurt yourself and teaches you how to kick/punch better. Even the students there were so helpful as it was my first time and was willing to spend a few minutes here and there to correct my form. Scheduling classes was easy as there is an app to shows the schedule of various classes. Also, the place is clean is because there are no shoes on the mats. One thing I didn't like was that there are no lockers in the changing room and it's just a place to change and store your belongings. However, it was safe to leave your belongings there as you are working out. Would love to go back again!

I was recently trying to rejoin the world of martial arts after a long time of being out of the…read moreloop. I had zero grappling experience and felt like Bjj was the absolute perfect art to fill said gap. I reached out via email and got a quick reply by voicemail and then by text. They were willing to answer all of my questions, even questions about the rates, contract, fees etc. They answered ALL of my questions AT the initial point of contact, which I very much appreciated and showed a stellar level of customer service on their part. So I showed up for my first introductory class, and as someone who's got plenty of experience in martial arts, I was looking for things that might be worth making note off: the equipment (such as the standing body-bags that the kickboxing class use for training) appeared to be in good shape, the mats weren't dusty or with any obvious debris and the place seemed generally to be very clean from the mats to the lockerrooms and bathroom. The instructers were all very kind to work with me and help me to develop my technique and understanding of what it is I'm getting myself into. It was a good class with great people, no doubt. The only thing I didn't like is the hard-sale strategy to sign the contract. That was why I couldn't continue, even though I really wanted to. Had I been presented with the contract differently, it's quite possible I'd be fully enrolled into my first month's classes right now. But they pitch HARD... for example, I wanted to take at LEAST two introductory classes before making a final decision, and I wanted to sleep on it. A 7 month contract (and that's just the ENTRY LEVEL contract which you are likely going to be asked to renew to a year contract in a few months once you're ready for advanced classes) is a big commitment when you're spending $219 a month, which they state is completely inflexible, regardless of income or situation and must be paid EVERY MONTH... no... matter... what... sick? Doesn't matter. Injured for under 6 months? Doesn't matter. You gotta pay). There are ways to get out of the contract, but ultimately, I was given the vibe of "but if you have an issue you will just call the company that handles our payments... they deal with that stuff" Still, this wasn't enough for me to rule me out. I still wanted it and could "kind of" afford it. The issue was that hard-sell. I am a salesman for a living and I can tell when someone is trying too hard to sell something. I see it everyday from my own coworkers and I respect them for it. Honestly I respect them for it here also. They need money. They are a business. It makes sense and there is nothing wrong whatsoever with that. The only issue though it is was the wrong approach for me and I felt like they should've felt my energy on that. I told them I was uncomfortable and wanted to take a second class and make a decision. Rather than saying something along the lines of "go... take the second class... and let me know what you think. If you need more time, that's okay. When you're ready, we'll be here and we'll be happy to have you as a part of the community "(what probably would've had me come back for AT LEAST a month trial). But what actually happened when I said this, is the gentleman seemed slightly disappointed and even slightly frustrated. He then replied, "... cool okay, but if you do this, I would REALLY need you to get back here right after so we can go over paperwork." It wasn't even subtle. It seemed too desperate. I kept replaying this in my mind, as a salesperson, thinking "man they really as desperate to get the sale..." I've seen it hundreds of times. The face when one of my collegues or even I can't close a sale... the emotion behind the reaction. It was all there and it was clear. No denying it. He wanted that paperwork SIGNED and I get why. It's a business, and businesses need money in order to operate. ... but I had to take a star for that... I was not comfortable and was even a little nervous specifically and only because the person working with me had too hard of a sales pitch. It made me decide that maybe this isn't the right choice for me right now and it unfortunately lead to me asking for cancellation before a single business day had passed. But on the plus side... these are all good people. They are trying to run a good business and have a good culture. I'd be happy to be a part of their community and would even recommend these guys if anyone asks. Everything seemed almost perfect about that place. The only thing that didn't work for me was the sales-pitch and the contract inflexibility. I probably woudln'tve noticed any of this stuff if I wasn't a salesperson myself so don't let my words make you look down on these guys. The world needs as much truth as possible these days, though which is why I had to write this review. Gave me some free gear, treated me with respect and gave me a good lesson; give em a shot

Don't be offended ,please , other places I really don't want to try anybody else. As soon as you enter the place, everyone greets you like you're family. You can book your classes any time, no pressure for packages, but buying packages is much cheaper and you save. I personally tried stopa, Eskandar. So professional and caring about your body. If they see you are tired they let you relax a little. So far I finished two packages and love my results. The new package I will continue with Yulya because we have so much friends together and sometimes we go out together. Yulya AMAZING as well as her colleagues. Love how she teach me to protect myself in unpleasant situations, her approach to fight for herself. You really achieve your shape and your ability to protect yourself in this amazing place.

I worked out at HIT Factory Brooklyn twice for two Yelp events, so this is a review purely for the…read moreclasses I took: spinning and total body conditioning. The spinning class was taught by Paul and he pushed us HARD. He also made sure everyone was all set in the beginning, had a set of weights for arm exercises, and sometimes check people's forms while spinning. He kept me motivated to keep going and had great music. One thing I didn't like was that the bikes don't have a number for the resistance level; you just turn a knob and judge it based on how difficult it feels riding the bike. My opinion is that a quantifiable factor makes way for measuring improvement in fitness levels and health. The total body conditioning class was taught by Tom and I don't want to give away too much, but the class was amazing. It truly was total body; I came away with everything feeling sore in a good way. There were two sets of each workout (which equates to a round, for me) and then we jump rope 100 times. Each set had a variety of moves, some of them new to me, and I've already done many workout videos and been to other fitness classes. The workout area was also unforgiving yet encouraging. It was dim and mostly black, with the materials needed for the workouts all set up with minimal space taken up. However, we faced each other and Tom when working out, so this egged us on. In response to other review(s): Yes, this place isn't very big overall and doesn't seem to have the locker room that conventional gyms have. I always come in my gym clothes and leave in my gym clothes, and I literally only bring my phone and a water bottle. I also can't speak to how much each class costs and whether it's worth it or not, but judging by experiences themselves, I certainly enjoyed the classes.
