Harlem Holistic Center

Are you ready for a new, challenging workout that doesn’t involve mindless machines at a gym? Then your best bet is to try at least one kickboxing class at this place. I began steadily taking classes here in January and I was hooked from the start. I’ve taken classes with Ken, Alex, and Daniel and each instructor has their own unique way of teaching. I’m never disappointed. I’ve built stamina and skill in a short period of time. My confidence has increased and even on those days when I’m exhausted, these kickboxing classes have a way of getting me pumped. Expect to throw punches, kicks, work on your abs, and perform calisthenics. Expect to be sore (if not immediately, then the next day). And even when you’re sore, expect to look forward to going back over and over again. This is a great place for those new to kickboxing and those who have been doing it for years.
Oh yea, the prices aren’t too bad either and the location is convenient.

I’ve never been one to enjoy working out, but I love going to the adult kickboxing classes here. Only Ken and Alex could get me out of bed to attend a 630AM kickboxing class! The instructors are very friendly and personable. They offer both advanced and beginner level classes. If you are just starting out, I’d highly recommend attending Ken’s beginner classes on Saturdays (at noon). He is really great about breaking down the technique for beginners, as well as providing a good workout. If you already have the technique down, the advanced classes provide a great workout.

I went to kickboxing here for the first time today and I think it was the most fun I’ve ever had at a group class! The exercises were varied and challenging, the music was great, and everyone (instructor and students) was friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back.

I love the workout.
I was tired/​bored of going to the gym and lifting weights. This gave me a chance to do something different and fun. The kickboxing class is a great work out and everyone is super nice. I will definetly be continue to attend — Ken makes it fun and interesting every time. The price of it is amazing too and you don’t have to do a monthly fee if you don’t want to so you don’t feel too bad when you cannot make the class.

I started of at HHC with a groupon for Yoga and kickboxing. I am yet to attend a kickboxing class, but I simply love the yoga classes. The instructors are very friendly and the classes are quite challenging. It’s a simple and very clean studio, and I always feel awesome after every yoga session.

This place is a GEM! I bought the Groupon last November in 2012 for the 3 month unlimited kickboxing and yoga deal. I redeemed the deal in Jan of 2013 and have been going just about every week. Not only do you get an amazing workout from the instructors but you also get to meet new people. I’ve enjoyed the relationships that I have made and I look forward to going to the classes.
Ken and Daniel create such a welcoming environment with the Kickboxing class that you don’t mind that they push you as hard as they do. I couldn’t do push ups when I first started the class and now I can. I have seen my body go through so many transformations.
Also, CJ is an AMAZING yoga instructor. Take her class on Wednesday. She will make you sweat and your flexibility will increase.
Overall, I am very pleased with my experience. I plan on continuing my classes even after my Groupon ends. Well worth it!

I love the Kickboxing classes!
I used a Groupon for the classes, and I will continue to go after the Groupon deal expires. Ken is a great instructor, and the classes are always a little bit different so that you never get bored. They keep the place very clean, and it is fun to watch the people walking by as you are working out. Make sure to bring water, it is a good workout and you will need it.

I was skeptical at all the positive reviews for this place… but this is the real deal!
I used the Groupon for kickboxing classes and the class was great. Everyone at this place is super friendly and very knowledgeable, I wish I knew about this place when I used to live in Harlem last year. As others mentioned, the place is small but very clean. And even without the Groupon deal the kickboxing classes are affordable and well worth it!

I was referred by my boyfriend who went here for Yoga. I went to HHC for the first time today to try out there new Kickboxing classes. I’m so happy I did! The instructor is extremely kind, knowledgable and informative. He’s also VERY patient and has a black belt in EVERYTHING. The facility IS small but extremely clean and well maintained. Don’t look for pampering here in regards to changing rooms, blow dryers or towels. You come dressed to sweat and leave. 12 dollars for walk ins and 60 dollars for one hour classes three times a week. Get in now because as I was leaving, a bunch of people were coming in. So this little secret will soon be out and about. You will BURN, FIRM and NOT be disappointed.

5 stars simply arent enough.
I got a groupon for the 60-​minute massage and European facial. All of the products that Cheryl used on my body smelled and felt absolutely wonderful. It was by far the best sex my skin has ever had!
The signage outside and all of the promotional info says «Harlem Holistic Center» but apparently they’re also known as Spa Boutique 2 Go.

This center’s Yin/​Yang challenge helped me get back on track, with getting in shape and making new friends; it’s truly a neighborhood feel place with awesome yoga & kickboxing instructors.

Great location from anywhere in Manhattan. Great environment for kids and adults.

Fantastic class options in a great facility. The workouts leave you feeling pumped!
Ken (owner) is knowledgeable, friendly and responsive. As the kickboxing instructor he will break down each move so that you not only do it right, you also limit your chance of injury.
I’m taking the 30 day Yin/​Yang challenge and while the start time to class can be a bit daunting in the beginning (6am), it proves to be worth the commitment.
I know there are also dance, meditation and kids classes available as well as massage therapy and a chiropractor. Really a great local business. Worth supporting.
