Tons of fun, and really intense! Everyone working there is very welcoming and friendly, and couldn’t have made kickboxing a better experience. Classes are very high energy and supportive, without being competitive at all. Everyone works at their own pace, but I definitely felt pushed to do the best I could do. I would definitely recommend to a friend!

I can’t say enough good things about the kickboxing classes! I fpund them on Groupon and hey were welcoming and after completing me first class I didn’t feel pressured to subscribe as I have in other places. The instructors are not judgemental and everyone in the class is friendly and helping one another get through it. They definitely push me harder than I’ve ever pushed myself in the gym! I’m loving it and I’ve seen my energy levels skyrocket since joining! I recommend you go and be ready to sweat.

Best kickboxing place in New York really friendly and the instructors know what they’re doing

I think 3 stars is pretty accurate. Like so many other people, I bought the Groupon (I chose the 10 class one) in my attempt to get an intro to kickboxing.
Classes are about 50 minutes – I’ve noticed the instructors stopping, occasionally going to 55 minutes. The class is 30 minutes of warmup and the rest is on the bags. Workouts are INTENSE. I mean, you can really feel yourself burning the calories, and you will be in pain after your first class.
A lot of times, you’ll have to sign up for classes a couple of weeks out. This is a complete pain in the ass. Instructors are inconsistent – some are great and really hands-​on, and others are only so-​so.
Now, gripes:
–The gym isn’t in great shape. A lot of bags are super loose or falling apart, the gym is in a pretty seedy area, and none of the bags are heavy at all.
–The workout area is tiny – they shove you up there, and you have to walk past the karate area. It’s a pain in the ass, really.
I started going to CKO, which is in my neighborhood (Carroll Gardens), and the difference in gyms is night and day. It’s weird going from a shady, unkempt gym to an immaculate one like CKO.
Look…if you’re contemplating kickboxing, I still recommend getting the Groupon – it’s a fantastic introduction to the sport/​exercise/​whatever it is. Once you’re done, though, jump ship to CKO. Totally worth it.

Bought a deal on Groupon for kickboxing classes. Since my sister had been talking about doing a kickboxing class for months, I figured I’d get then some classes as well.
Pros:
* Conveniently located downtown Brooklyn.
* Free boxing gloves (Red & Pink)
* The instructor was energetic and very attentive to each student.
Cons:
* The Instructor moved and spoke very fast. At times, it was difficult to understand her.
* The class is not great for beginners. I had taken kickboxing classes years ago, so I remembered the techniques. And I workout 5+ times a week, so it was easier for me to keep up with the speed of the class. My sisters, however, do not work out so they were having difficulties.
They can improve by offering a beginner, intermediate and advanced class, but I will be back (I paid for 3 more classes. Lol).
