I found this place on ClassPass. I had no idea it even existed and it's only 15 minutes from my house. I actually fell in love with the place. The focus of the place is mostly strength training. John is awesome. He is motivational, and gives great energy. He moves around and helps people with their form. he changes up the routine constantly to keep things interesting. The equipment is of a good quality and it's pretty clean. I highly recommend it. read more

See all

I really love the breakdown of the workouts and the overall energy of the studio. John is really amazing at keeping everyone motivated and honestly, the progress is very notable after just one class. You will feel the burn!!!! read more

I stumbled upon this gym on ClassPass looking for a place to workout while visiting my parents in Queens. I tried out the Monday's chest/back and Wednesday's boxing/HIIT classes, and really enjoyed the format of both classes. The chest/back circuits worked out some of the ancillary muscles that often get overlooked. While the boxing/HIIT class taught me the basic punches and dodging moves. A special shout-out to John for being such a great instructor. He pays attention to each student and makes sure that you have the correct form. He also keeps you on your toes from slacking off while keeping you motivated. I look forward to booking more classes here next time I'm back in NY. read more

I absolutely have been loving this new studio in Bayside! John (the owner and coach) really hit it out of the ballpark with this place... Ive taken 2 classes on Classpass, and here is my review: -Very similar to Rumble Boxing... Half the class is a cardio/weighs and the other half is boxing with the same teardrop shaped bags (not sure the technical name of the bags haha) -The class starts off with a warmup and weight related workouts with drills, then you move on to a TRX (recently installed in the studio)/rowing machines with an alternating drill and then boxing all in a 50 minute class. -Studio is brand new so all of the equipment is in excellent and new condition, which I love. -The studio is a little on the smaller side, so a class is probably at capacity with 10 people. -Loved the vibe of the studio once you really get into it, the lights go off and you're surrounded by light up mirrors. I personally love the dark vibe of studios, makes me less intimidated like everyone is staring. -John gives extra attention to everyone and does a great job of really acknowledging everyone in the room and giving tweaks and motivation. -Every day seems to be a different routine, I am not sure if John switches it up per class or if its the same class throughout the day. -There are no showers! -They are very active on Instagram/Facebook and give you updates regularly about classes/cancellations/etc. Overall I highly recommend this place if youre in the area... Both times ive been I have left feeling like I really had a great workout and super sore haha. read more

I've only taken one class that was more focused on lifting rather than boxing or cardio and for that, I was kind of anxious going in. But the instructor and staff were all very welcoming and encouraging. Everyone was trying their hardest but at their own pace, which I really liked. The class was 55 minutes of circuits of weights/lifting + (some) in place cardio, and a warm-up and cool down. The studio itself is very clean and fits about 10 people per class. Parking is on-street parking. Would recommend to anyone in the area, and can't wait to go back for another class. read more

I LOVE LBC! I'm a fitness boutique junkie! [Solidcore], soulcycle, Barry's, rumble, OTF u name it I do it however LBC has to be 1 of my favorite and hardest out of all of them! The class sizes are smaller in which there is more personal attn given to making sure everything is being done properly;form is correct. John the trainer has a lot of knowledge with muscle groups and I don't feel like I'm just working out upper body/lower body. He targets specific groups and explains it all. Really good energy in there at all times. So happy they opened up and I can incorporate it in my weekly workouts! read more

LBC is a fitness industry disruptor. There is just nothing else like it. In 55 minutes, we worked every muscle group and were sweating from every pore. The class is fun, challenging, and different every day. It is fast paced, and goes by quickly... too bad the soreness afterwards doesn't! I will definitely be back!! read more

I love this gym. The workouts never get old. And that's all because of John, the trainer and the main reason I go to this gym! You never know what he has in store for you. One day you're rowing your butt off the next you're doing boxing combinations, and the next your strength training. He's a master of all! Unlike other gyms, he makes sure your form is correct to avoid getting hurt and also provides modifications if you're not as advanced or injured. You're guaranteed a good sweat but above all, the people are like family. You're greeted with a smile at the door and you're genuinely happy to see each other every day. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to get stronger both physically and mentally! read more

What can I say about L.B.C. when I first went to LBC to take there free class I was nervous afraid of the unknown as soon as I walk through the doors JESS&Monda greeted me with a smile that took all my nervousness away they showed me around the STUDIO everything was clean and brand new I loved it every equipment is organized after the tour of the STUDIO I meet JOHN the instructor/trainer took his BOXING/ CORE WEDNESDAY CLASS I was so impressed with his knowledge and creativity of fitness.i decided to sign up and be a member this place is so AWESOME you won't regret signing up as for the workouts everyday is a different part of the body as for the members they are welcoming and friendly well "BTW" I DRIVE AN 1hr 15minutes to get to LBC phenomenal place ‍‍‍ read more

LBC is not just a workout studio, it truly is a community. Monda, John and Jess are very attentive and caring with everyone's needs, whether you're there on class pass or as a member. As someone who struggles to get into fitness I must say these classes are very enjoyable and effective. read more

LBC has become my new fitness home. Every class is tough and different from the last. The instructor John does a great job of motivating each member of the class. The class structure is perfect in that it mixes in the boxing, cardio, and lifting to give a complete workout each time. The class size is capped at 20 people, so every workout feels intimate and personalized. All of the members that I have encountered are very friendly and a pleasure to work out with. Each day is dedicated to a different body part, and the class format alternates between boxing and cardio while combining both with lifting. With this schedule I find that I never get bored of going to class every single day because every class is different from day to day. I have also noticed that each class is completely unique. Each arm day is different from the last, each leg day is different from the last... The studio also has a lot of different but easy to use equipment that is incorporated into each class. So far I have taken 25 classes and each one has felt like a high quality work out. It is very easy to find parking in the area. The owners are extremely welcoming and friendly. Your first class is completely free. They offer class packages and unlimited memberships, and compared to most other studio classes I have taken the pricing is very competitive. I found it so refreshing that no one at the studio pressured me into signing up for a membership (They didn't even have to though. I loved the class so much I asked them to sign me up as soon as it was over). I even got to take advantage of a student rate that they are running. Signing up for classes is very easy to do with the studio's own app or the MINDBODY app that is used by many other fitness studios. Overall, it is a great place to work out, and I would highly recommend trying it out. read more
