Breakin Boundaries

Such an amazing dance studio! I felt I was home in Michigan. Wonderful people– wonderful classes!

This is a great studio! I do the Vixen Workout class with Julie who’s absolutely amazing!!! The location is perfect and transportation is easy. Can’t wait to come back for more! Def check this studio out and sign up for the Vixen Workout or any of the many other classes they offer

Easily one of the worst classes I’ve ever been to. I came to NY for the weekend from Boston to visit some friends and decided to drop-​in to the Saturday «Zumba» class with my friend. I’ll preface this by saying I currently have the best Zumba teacher ever in Boston (and classes are only $ 10!!) so my standards were already high. However, high standards or not, this class was awful. Literally, one song of actual dancing (the LAST song of the class). The rest of the time was spent doing planks, «shadow boxing,» jumping jacks, calf raises, mountain climbers, high knees, etc… Sound familiar? It should. Because that’s what you expect from a bootcamp class, NOT a Zumba class. The playlist was an unimpressive array of old Zumba songs (maybe this is how they can call it «Zumba?»), the moves were repetitive, the instructor’s energy was nothing to write home about, the ceiling was leaking water, & the instructor NEVER corrected form. Not once. Most of the individuals in the room were squatting incorrectly, clearly putting their knees at risk for injury. I would never recommend this class and I really hope this was an isolated incident rather than reflective of the entire studio. I wish I could get my $ 18 back especially since this class was falsely advertised. For that price, I could have gotten a much higher caliber workout.

I’ve been attending Breakin Boundaries for over a year and a half, and within that time my attitude and motivation for fitness has completely changed. I actually look forward to working out!
I started just taking Zumba, it is amazing for ‘zoning out’ and forgetting what can be stressful NY life, and you sweat… a lot! It’s a great work out. Renee, Stephanie and Barbara’s classes are all excellent, it just depends what vibe you feel like that day.
Every instructor that Renee brings into the centre is excellent. I love taking the XMP Pilates class, I have really noticed a difference in my body and core strength. I’m now trying out the Barre class at 9am on a thursday which I’m also enjoying.
p.s Carolyn’s classes are super fun and a great start to any Sunday!

Zumba with Carolyn is such a joy. She is so cute and hilarious and plays the best music. Her routines are fun, sweaty, and easy to follow, even for me and my two left feet.

I was looking for a change in my routine and decided to try Zumba. I was nervous and skeptical since I have never tried Zumba. It is now two months since I have been going to Breakin Boundaries. I have to say I have not been disappointed. I felt welcome from the moment I started. Staff are very supportive and are genuinely very nice people. The classes are great. You will not be disappointed be prepared to sweat!

I have been attending classes at Breakin Boundaries for a few years now after originally finding them on Groupon and starting this year I have become a full time member. Finding the time and motivation to work out has always been a struggle for me. I have tried other gyms and classes in the past that I couldn’t stick with but for once I have found something that is fun and I look forward to doing every week!
The owner, Renee is a fitness goddess and makes sure that all classes are fun, extra sweaty and judgement free. It is a very welcoming community that really wants to help you succeed in your fitness goals. Renee’s Zumba and Pilates classes are my regular favorites but I hope to explore more soon. I would recommend to anyone who wants to add a little excitement to their work out with out sacrificing any of the intensity. I always end up sore the next day but it’s always worth it. I am really starting to see a difference in my body and stress levels and I owe it all to Breakin Boundaries! Thank you for everything and keep the great workouts coming!

Breakin boundaries it’s an Amazing Dance studio with all tyoes of classes. The staff is very warm and welcoming. I love this place. And i recomend this place to all my friends.

I love, love, love this place! I’ve so far tried Power Yoga and Pliates and both classes were excellent. I definitely plan on coming back to try other classes because I think it’s a fabulous place to get your workout on! The owner Renee is a real doll and all of the instuctors seem equally awesome. If you live in Greenpoint or neighborhoods close by, definitely check this place out. Hell, if you have a car, I would say it’s definitely worth driving on over to take get in on the action.

Breakin boundaries is a great new place to take class and meet new people.
It’s also a nice place for studio rentals.
My dance company Art Of Legohn rehearses here on a weekly basis and we have prepared for big events at this location.
I would definitely recommend this place to take class and to rehearse.
The owner, Renee and her staff are very nice and professional. I give this place 5 stars!!!

Amazing service! Kick-​ass Dancers! And Amazing energy. Would recommend this studio anyone!!!

Boundaries makes me deaf!
I love zumba and always had great teachers in different zumba classes throughout the city but nothing prepared me for the side effects of the zumba concert with Boundaries. The music was so loud my ears were ringing and I was at the end of the room too. When I asked to owner if she can turn down the music she said” NO! this is zumba, that’s the way it is.” She was very unpleasant and just would not hear it. It seems to me that Boundaries is trying to make up for poor ZUMBA choreography and boring routines with loud music.

I am in love with this place! I found their groupon at just the right time. Between work, school and family I was starting to lose my mind. I realized I had to get moving to release the stress and fortunately for me I found this place. I’ve tried zumba, ballet and Better than Beyonce. All fun, all challenging, all sweaty! Renee, Stephanie, Arden, EVERYONE is so nice and motivating. Breakin Boundaries saves my sanity every week!

I had a great time at Breaking Boundaries, I visited this location due to a Unilocal fit club event last month and I had no idea what to expect…
.
The staff were very friendly and allowed me to preview a P90X class while I waited for Zumba to begin.
The P90X class was a challenging full body workout. The instructor was great; she would let you know ahead of time which workouts we were going to do and gave you alternates based off of your fitness level. My Legs were sore after this class but it hurt so good I def recommend you guys attend this class Tuesdays at 7:15
After P90X I proceeded to the Zumba class and man were they full of energy the music selection was on point and so were the moves. You can tell the instructors really enjoy what they do and want everyone to have fun as they burn some calories…
my only feedback is that they could try to break down or warn the crowd a bit better of the moves that are coming up or how to do the routine. Unless you have taken classes with them before and learned the routine it could take a sec for you to catch on to the dances as I saw ppl struggling. But again I have not taken a class with the individual instructors so it may be different.
Overall I had a great time and I highly recommend them… If i did not live in the BX i would be there all the time especially for the P90x class. Good job guys!

Awesome High Enegry and Alot of Sweat!!! I Me and a friend went here for a Zumba class and it almost killed us!!! It was a class sponsored by Unilocal and I am totally glad I made it.
We had the workout of our lives and I actually enjoyed it. Even if I felt like I was going to vomit and pass out all at the same time… It was GRRREAT!!! When you look for a workout class this it what you are lookig for.
Greenpoint is a horrible location to get to for me but the class was so awesome I may firgure a way!!!
Thanks to the instructors you ladies were awsome and I had a great time!!!

Amazing!
I am no stranger to Zumba and this class was unlike any other Zumba class I have participated in. The instructors were so energetic and encouraging.
I will definitely visit Breakin Boundaries again!

I have taken four classes at Breakin Boundaries so far. I discovered the studio through a Groupon deal, and have been so thankful to have given this place a second look despite my usual Groupon dubiousness. The Zumba classes are stellar – I particularly recommend Renee and Anneclaire (though I think she is gone for a few months). I feel stronger and more in shape after only three Zumba classes!
I also took one of Davon’s Hip Hop Aerobic classes, and I was really impressed with the structure of the class. It’s equal parts toning, aerobics and choreography. Never a dull moment!

Breaking Boundaries offers really great dance classes in a beautiful space. I take Zumba, Hip Hop, Ballet and Tone Up at Breaking Boundaries. As a trained dancer, I can assure you that the instructors are all very talented. I HIGHLY recommend Davon for donation based ballet and hip hop on Wednesdays. Hell of a time, incredible choreography and great personality. His Thursday class which is burlesque is also incredible. I am starting to explore the studio’s Zumba classes more but I do like Renee’s class on Mondays. Also, the studio has amazing food — vegan, vegetarian, delicious juices, smoothies, gluten-​free pasta and much more.
Definitely check it out!

I LOVE the classes at Breakin Boundaries and look forward to going. I have taken 10 classes so far, and I am hooked. I definitely saw a positive change in my body only after a few classes.
Tired and bored with the gym atmosphere, I was in search of a different type of workout/​exercise and this is exactly what I was hoping to find. I was always intimidated by Zumba, but found that you pick up the moves only after a few classes. I am a bit uncoordinated, clumsy and never took a dance class in my life… if I can do it, you can too. It’s such a great workout as well as fun. The instructors and owner are extremely friendly and motivating. You feel as if you are in a comfortable, positive environment and there are a variety of classes at convenient times. I am a natural winter hibernator and haven’t worked out during the cold weather months in years until now. I recommend you give it a try.

Loving this place. I can actually feel my body getting stronger over time.
Great instructors that keep me motivated. Stephanie is my favorite followed closely by AnneClaire and Mike.
