I recently grabbed a groupon for kickboxing and have come to 5 of the 10 classes. I really enjoy…read morethe teachers and the class size is pretty small (8-15 people normally). They start the class off with a little warm up. You jog around the room, high knees, butt kickers followed up with planks or lunges. After a few stretches you grab your gloves and bags and get to work. It is definitely an interesting work out. From what I can tell, the instructors are pretty good at getting to know what you need to work on so you are not overwhelmed with instruction. After making sure you punch and kick without hurting yourself, they start to work on how to make each hit land harder and more efficiently. Even when you have a complete brain fart and cannot hold the string of moves in your head, just look at them pleadingly and they will happily go over it again with you personally! I love the workout and feel stronger even after just a few classes once a week. The first class they did try to sell us on signing up. We told her that we were not interested in coming more than 1-2 times a week which would make the unlimited a little pointless. She quoted us the price for a "class pass" package of 35 or 65 classes that you use throughout the year. A few classes later, when we inquired again, the price had jumped up SIGNIFICANTLY. I would have signed up for the 11$ a class price but 18-20$ is a heavier load for my bank account. It is too bad bc most of the other locations only offer unlimited packages which would not be cost effective for me. I definitely have not felt pressured like some other reviews have mentioned but the price increase definitely gave me pause and unfortunately, I doubt I will sign up long term. I just will get the most out of the remaining groupon classes.

If this was based off of classes and instructors, I'd give them a solid 4 stars. However, it's a 2…read morebecause of their dishonest sales tactics when getting you to sign up for a membership. I came here to join my friend as she's been taking classes and really enjoys it. I wanted to get into BJJ and Muay Thai as well, so decided to join her on the 3 class $19.99 special they advertised on their website to get a feel. After the first class though, they sell you HARD. - I voiced my concerns about lack of time due to work and possibly not being able to commit to 2x weekly for a full year, even though that was the best deal. I'd also be traveling from Astoria to Brooklyn, so that makes it even more challenging. They promised that if I were to sign up for the year, I can freeze my membership, downgrade to 1x weekly, or pay per class as needed. This made me feel better, so I decided to go for the annual contract - Needless to say, work immediately blew up and I was only able to make it to the gym twice over the last 2 months. I called the gym to downgrade my plan so I can just pay per class but was told they don't offer the option to pay per class. I know this is not true because my friend has brought guests to this gym before and they paid ~$30 each for a single day class. I then asked to downgrade to the 1x weekly option, but was told downgrading is not possible. I am only able to upgrade. - At this point, I was extremely frustrated since I signed up under the premise that I could downgrade at ANY time. I asked her to just cancel my membership. She told me I needed to email a different email address to process my cancellation. Once I got in touch, they offered to downgrade my plan, but it was too late. I wanted nothing to do with this shady practice, so I paid the $195 cancellation fee to get out of the contract. If you're able to commit to the full year, great. But if there's any chance you will need to change your plan, don't believe what they tell you.

I went to Gleasons since I needed some bag work since I just got to New York. Coming in front desk personal will help you with your needs and charge you for your drop in and from there really you're ready to go. It's fairly an old school boxing gym and has a lot of culture. There was times when I would just mire the pictures all over the gym and really look at the history of how boxing came to be. I was offered to get some mitt work from one of the trainers but respectfully declined and was thankful though because some gyms just let you come in and out which is the goal overall. The gym was pretty busy at the time as well because the nearby hs youth came by for a fundraiser and there was free food and just prizes being given to the youth which was nice to see. I was also able to train near Pro boxers that were being filmed by either Top Rank/Dazn and it was amazing! I really was fanboying it out since I was training there and being surrounded by so much! All in all I'd recommend this gym to those who are either starting out in boxing and need a boxing home base near the Brooklyn area but also very friendly to those who just are in town and need a good sweat in or even just learn boxing basics!

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.

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.
