Edit- after having written the review, I received texts and emails in response in which I was accused of lying and of starting “fake drama”, as if I have nothing better to do than make false accusations about this place. I’m posting screenshots to show their “wonderful” customer service. You don’t have to take my word for it, all you have to do is read their responses to any negative review here and you’ll understand the kind of people you’re dealing with.I have over 40 classes with them that I prepaid for. I’ve been trying to call them for several months to figure out when they’ll be resuming their classes. They haven’t replied to a single email, a single phone call, a single message sent on Instagram. If I could take legal action against them I would. At this point, it really feels they’ve stolen my money. I Initially wanted to resume classes with them but now I just want my money back. I spent hundreds for these classes and can’t even get in contact with them. Extremely disappointed in their services.

I have been a member here for years and I continue to love the gym, the workout and the people. Never thought I would do any exercise consistently this long, but not only did I see results, the classes remained quite fun! The place is just awesome, everyone friendly, a good sense of humor, quite a sweat.Advice to anyone reading this, buy the groupon, its a better deal than the web special. And they will give you a better start up offer if you start with a groupon. They are open 7 days a week but they do book up pretty quickly, a few friends had to wait a week for their first sessions.Do not be intimidated, the staff is cool and very pro

A co worker read a few on line reviews about this place and asked me if it could possibly be true? The answer is YES! I have been a member a little under 9 months and I am in the best shape of my life. There isnt any secret here, its just a good workout and they push you. No, you arent going to get tough and the basic workout isnt going to make you Bruce Lee, but it is a lot of fun to kick the bags and learn some cool spin moves. And if you are interested, they make it really easy to try a class

I have had numerous gym memberships. I never saw results and I stopped going after a few months. I have had a kickboxing membership for almost three years and I go at least two times a week. Kickboxing is motivational, fun and keeps your interest. The staff is awesome, supportive and friendly. I really want people to know about this place, because it is a small business with a big heart. I recommend it totally. I have seen great results

I was relocated to Manhattan proper and needed a workout close to the office, I read mixed reviews online, but that seems standard these days. With three classes for just under $20 I figured it was worth it to try out first hand to make my own decision. Workout was much harder than I thought, but everyone was very friendly and staff was very patient. I was impressed. I guess if you are looking for an upper end spa treatment this is the wrong place; it IS very basic. But for an honest workout it is quite a find, and very reasonably priced. Also the only martial arts school that has classes seven days a week that I found. Also near my train which is a major plus

I found a groupon for this place while looking for kickboxing classes and thought it would be an easy way to start. I seldom comitt to anything, and I did about 4 classes until I finally signed up for a full membership. Been there about 6 months now and pretty darn happy.Distinctly different from a lot of kickboxing places, they have a staff of real martial artists and some former fighters. They even have people who have fought professionally here. Not that they will punch you or anything, but its good to know you are getting real technique. Furthermore, for a bunch of pretty serious people, the atmosphere is pretty laid back and easy going. The jokes come fast, and are often pretty bad.Same token, this is a no frills experience. The product is the sessions, tons of sweat, and results. They have lockers but in a room with just a curtain. Bathroom is clean but small. You buy water out of what looks like a fridge someones mom didnt need anymore!Wokouts though, seven days a week which is a major plus, are INSANE. I have never felt anything like it. Things ached I didnt know existed. But like I said after 6 months I am liking what I am seeing ane people are making nice comments.

I went to my first class here and was amazed at home many people told me they had been members for years. Not something you hear in gyms at all. Everyone seems to love this place and I think I already know why. Kickboxing is really fun and you definitely feel the workout. You definitely see results.I have joined a bunch of gyms, they had big locker rooms, showers and saunas. I still never went. This place is defintely bare end but Ive gone to more than 20 classes in a month which is shocking for me. Id also like to say that they didnt lie at all about the classes always changing. It is always fresh and new.Try it out, they have a thing which is $20 for three classes and the kickboxing glove

A lifelong fitness fanatic, discovering NY Best Kickboxing in my early 40s was my best find yet. From the warm up through the rounds and right through the very last push up or crunch, my body and mind are put to the test and I always feel like I can conquer whatever a NYC day throws at me after a class with one of the awesome instructors. I can honestly say the classes have helped me be in the best shape of my life - both physically and mentally. If youre looking for a no-frills, no-nonsense workout, look no further than NY Best Kickboxing.

I have been a member here for several years, though off an on due to school and work conflicts. That is one of the best parts, they not only have monthly (which would never work for me), they also have class cards where the classes never expire. So I fall off the planet for six months and I can come back without a single issueWorkout is pretty intense, but I also like it is a real kickboxing class. They teach you technique along the way. Not at all like a karate class I took, they are very laid back and super friendly, but you really learn how to kick those bags.While some of the instructors were former fighters, the major direction here is fitness and everyone is welcome. If anyone is complaining in a review here, it is because they didnt want to behave like a normal person. Everyone who has been a member here has seen those people, you cant come into a class 20 minutes late and YES you need your gloves, its kickboxing!If you are interested in getting a great workout that will produce results while meeting some cool new people, I strong recommend this place

I love this studio. David and Edyk ( and I’m sure he other trainers I haven’t had the privilege to train with) are wonderful. They not only take you from wherever you are, but they motivate you and they Train you like athletes -not like women who want to get skinny. I appreciate this so much. You are learning a martial art and getting fit at the same time. You will sweat it out... your week and your physical agenda. Couldn’t recommend more!!!

This is a great place. The classes are a fantastic workout and you also learn a lot about martial arts and self-defense. all the teachers are really well qualified and are friendly and enthusiastic. I have been coming here for over 6 years and it has really changed my life!!! It is great for fitness - but also self-esteem and confidence. I cannot recommend a fitness center more highly.

I called up their customer service to cancel my subscription as I dont wish to continue. Its not that I am taking classes and not paying. They said I need to have a legal valid reason. I dont owe any explanation on when to cancel. I was informed that i can cancel my subscription whenever I want, i called and billing company is ready to cancel but they are not.Plus they are rude, gym is not clean and hygienic as well. Washrooms and even lockers stink of sweat. The only good part is the pricing but again, the instructors dont even correct the form or help with techniques.I have lost all faith in this gym and will never recommend it to anyone. Not good customer service and i would like to tell you again they, will do anything for getting you signed up but think twice.(After reading comment edit)FYI: my credit card has not declined. Stop thinking of everyone’s credit card will be declined.

Finally found a gym I love going to. Great staff, friendly members, amazing workout!!! I’ve been a member for over 2 years and when I first started I didn’t think I was going to be able to do it but the instructors are great and take their time to explain the proper technic, form and exercise. Doesn’t matter if youve been there one day or one year, you will always get a workout!! In the past, I’ve joined many other gyms and have done all different types of exercises but this is the only one that keeps me going. I go 3-4 times a week and I always look forward to going to class.

I cant say enough great things about the instructors and the quality of instruction I have received in the 18 months since I joined. I have lost 35 lbs and have to come to see this place as a refuge from the world. I have also been able to develop self confidence and feel good about myself.No class is the same, and the beauty of having different instructors is to learn something new in each class. David and his team have built an excellent program that keeps me getting better. You may not be able to do everything with the same precision as they can in the beginning, but like anything, practice makes perfect. I look forward to class every night because I know I will escape the real world for an hour. The other students are there for the same reason and are very supportive. You need to check it out - you will not be sorry!

I have been a student of this gym for years. If you put in effort and listen to their instruction they will get you in shape. In addition, if you progress and want to learn more they have classes that will give you that opportunity. The techniques being taught work. In my profession I have had to use them and they are effective. Cant say enough about Sifu Ross and if you stay long enough if it feels like family.

I recently tried the gym. I was really excited about kickboxing again. From the minute I walked in the energy didny feel right. It lacked the camaraderie I experienced at other gyms. I didnt feel comfortable with the instructor. It was the only time I ever left a class early. I will never go back.

After over 40 years in the martial arts, I count NY Best Kickboxing founder and chief instructor David Ross as an amazing colleague, and a dear, trusted friend. Exemplary in his field, he has traveled the world, training and learning from lineage masters, and great modern innovators alike. This knowledge and experience, and the passion that David Ross has for helping others find their own focus in fitness, traditional, and progressive martial arts programs is no less than inspirational, and will always put David Ross and New York Best Kickboxing at the vanguard!Michael GoodwinChief InstructorThe San FranciscoHung Gar Kung Fu Association

This place is so welcoming to beginners...you actually see and feel your body changing after only 3-5 workouts which is so motivating to keep coming back...the instructors are great!! Unlike the gym...The challenges and support from the other members are so encouraging its hard to quit. Give it a try :-) you wont be disappointed

Review №22

All business, little passion. If youre looking for a workout this place is fine depending on the instructor. However If you have any interest in becoming a better kick boxer I would say its a hard pass. Very little if anything was mentioned about technique or form. During the round based workouts the owner/instructor would just go use the computer and shout switch! when the bell rang. Cant you wait to do desk work until class is over? Not once in the four classes I took did I see him correct or give tips to anyone. He seemed uninterested for the most part. The overall vibe was pretty low energy/effort.

I have been a member of this gym for about a year and the level of instruction is one of the best I have encountered in my many years of martial arts training across different styles and instructors. Whether you are a beginner wanting to get in shape and learn basic technique or an advanced practitioner who would like the experience and guidnace of a world renowned CMA instructor.

Joined this gym in March and purchased the class pass. I barely made it through my first class, but stuck with it and started seeing results really fast. The workouts are never the same, but theyre all guaranteed to make you sweat and work a lot. There are classes every day, so its easy to work around my crazy work schedule. I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get in shape and is serious about working for their goals.

I joined NY Best Kickboxing about a year and a half ago. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The instructors are friendly and give you a great workout as well as health tips. It is wonderful to be surrounded by like~minded people who are not afraid to sweat. I also enjoy challenging myself physically because there workouts are never the same. The results of going to NYBK is I am more confident and in the best shape of my life at 45.

I became a member a bit over one year ago. As a complete novice I encountered a staff who were willing to coach me through technique and train me in a remarkable workout. Classes are conducted by assorted instructors who are always varying routines resulting in a workout that is always exciting and produces visible results. I HIGHLY recommend this class for anyone looking for a great workout in a fun environment with extremely dedicated and qualified instructors.

I have had gym memberships several times and they never seemed to click for me. After a few weeks Id just stop going, which people say is pretty common. A coworker said I should try kickboxing and I was skeptical, especially a class full of women. So they bought a web special and made me go! Those women kicked my butt!!!! Hardest workout ever. Oh, and I am joking, there are also men in the classes.If I had one complaint, it would be the small locker rooms and now showers, but I have to say for a gym it is very clean.I also have to credit the teachers here, there are several, all different types and they teach great classes while keeping it always fresh and new. There is a good attention to correct performance as well, and they stress NOT getting injured. They are also the only martial arts school I have ever seen that is open seven days a week

Review №31

(Edit: after submission of this review, the owner replied with lots of made-up lies, which made me lost faith completely about this school. At least, one should be honest. This place has no trust, I dont expect them to teach.) ***Original: If I could give 0 star I would. Theres no place thats more rude than this gym, they dont treat customers with respect, which is the most important element of Martial Arts. Plus, its really inconvenient to schedule an appointment: they dont have a schedule online and when you call, the staff is so rude and didnt even have patience to tell what are the times and what are the classes, and you have to call to schedule an appointment which they either dont pick up, or be very rude and wouldnt want to talk and tell you any information needed, making it very inconvenient to drop in.

I love this studio!Ive been going for almost 2 years. It took a couple of classes to get the hang of it, but definitely worth it. You can get a solid workout that will make you tremble in one hour. And the results are fast! I lost weight without even having strick diet I feel stronger and more toned every time I go and class always leaves me feeling refreshed and energized.

I wish I chose a different location. There is no circulation, ventilation or AIR, period. The smell is unbelievable. I understand it is a gym, but I have never stepped foot in a gym that smells like this. Speaking of feet, I could vomit because of the mats here. I always wear socks, which makes some routines difficult, but it is NECESSARY. There is a clear sanitation violation going on at this place. I throw away my socks once class has been completed. If i didnt foolishly purchase so many classes before visiting I would never go back.

Review №34

Two star because they offer great pricing and is a legitimate gym. Theres way to improve for the rest 3 stars: especially customer service. I saw therere many 1-star reviews mentioning their less-than-respectful attitude when answering customer calls, which they made as the only channel to get in touch with them and looking up schedules. They could make that scheduling process more smooth - by either adding online appointment system, or having more helpful phone conversations if thats the only channel they give.

Review №41

People in my office were talking about this workout class and convinced me to try the trial offer which seemed reasonable. I made my appointment and attended my first class and found the place a bit small, but very clean and the staff was very nice. There are lockers and men and women bathroom but no shower. However, I joined the facility because the workout was amazing. I have never sweated so much in my life and never been so sore. The classes are not cheap, but I have come to be used to expensive things in NY. The membership allows me to take as many classes as I wish though and there are many classes every night. I prefer the late classes, a bit less crowded. Also the boxing gloves are included in the trial offer but you will need to buy the wrapping for the hands.

Whenever I am in New York, I ALWAYS attend classes here. I also follow and subscribe to Sifu David Ross programs online. He puts out quality content whether youre in person or online.Sifu Ross has DECADES of experience in both traditional and modern martial arts instruction. In addition to quality instruction, I also get an amazing workout that leaves both exhausted and refreshed at the same time. Many times when I come to NYC I attend lengthy and exhausting seminars, and I sometimes dont want to go but Im always glad I did when I leave.You also CANNOT beat the price especially in Manhattan!!!

When I first walked in, I was a little disappointed about how basic the place was, just mats and bags, but the workout seriously kicked my butt! Full body, intense, pouring sweat and a nice mix of cardio and resistance. Everyone, both staff and members, were friendly and encouraging, really nice vibe to this place. I eventually bought a class card which is more flexible than a month to month, and I am enjoying the classes still. Definitely recommend this place, just remember it is NOT a luxury spa

I started here with a Groupon; its been two years and Ive never looked back. This is the best workout and the best gym. No two classes are the same. My favorite aspect of this facility is the people. The instructors are supremely talented and are the utmost professionals. Each one brings his/her own personality to every class which makes it so fun. They focus on proper technique, they are very patient with the newbies, and they always motivate me! My fellow members are great; its always encouraging to see the regulars. Ive made some friends here - a lot more than I can say from my years of belonging to a more traditional gym

Ive been a member of this gym for the last 3 years and all I can say is that, once you start taking these classes you become kind of addicted to them! The members and staff are all very friendly and are always trying to help you get the best workout. The instructors will push you to achieve your goals and will always make sure that, with persistance, you can get in great shape in a relatively short time (compared to other workouts).

Review №47

Feel the need to review this place on all platforms since their response to negative feedback is to downplay it and insult instead of working on their faults. In January, I bought a groupon and attended a kickboxing class, and the class was awesome and this very enthusiastic, young instructor by the name of EJ sold me on this amazing offer of a fixed (about)180 for 80 classes of kickboxing. I thought that was too good to be true and even asked to make sure if what i heard was correct. He made me sign a contract and it was really my bad for not looking closely (always read contracts before signing!!) because i only noticed about two months later when i was billed a second month that I had signed up to pay 180 for 8 MONTHS. There is no way I am paying for that and i do not intend on finishing these classes. There is also no exit fee for the contract available. I arrived to an early class where EJ was late and came in with a rotten attitude and made the workout so uncomfortable/unpleasant. I do not not recommend this place for their lack of integrity and respect towards their customers. I remember the morning and evening female instructors providing a great experience during kickboxing classes and thank them for it.

Update 03/22/19 Not surprised by your response, as you respond callously to all negative feedback you receive. I get the idea of being on time, but being that 2 people are in the class because of me, it wouldve been nice to get a courtesy. Its called customer service, your business should get better at it. Oh and nice touch adding a lie that I tried to make a scene, we both know that definitely never happened. ** Ridiculous. Traveled in the rain to be told because Im late I cant join the class. Only 7 minutes late due to train delays that were out of my control, and they wouldnt allow me to join the class. Meanwhile, my sister and friend who I recomended to sign up to this gym are participating in this same class, as I type this. I was debating whether or not to renew my membership, and this experience definitely gave me my answer.

Been a student almost a year and this is a truly amazing place. They offer real martial arts training but friendly for beginners. PS place is very clean, I guess some people never wrestled in highschool, I did and know the smell of BLEACH. Yeah, you can smell bleach in the space, because they clean the mats every day. That doesnt make the place dirty, it makes it CLEAN. Ive been in a few boxing gyms and martial arts schools, this place is much better

I was brought here by a friend. First class I was not thrilled, it was hot and I didnt know my left from my right. But I had a groupon so I kept taking classes. After about 4 more classes I started to get the groove and really started to enjoy the workout. The fact the classes are always different impressed me, and eventually I started to see results. I probably should have jumped in the first day because I would have saved money, but the memberships are still pretty reasonable for Manhattan. Most of the members are also pretty friendly

I had the worst experience ever in this place!!! This is actually an ongoing issue. After paying for their web special I repeatedly tried scheduling a class to no avail. They instruct you to leave a message with your details so they can call back but this never happened! Weeks after waiting when I called and someone finally picked and they scheduled a class for me, when I showed up the instructor was beyond rude and obnoxious before I even began so I demanded my refund back. He asked me to send an email to their support and not surprisingly none of them have been responding even after copying all their email addresses. At this point I have every reason to believe they are trying to scam me but I will not let them get away with my money. Please be aware that this is happening before you invest in them. Or simply try another outlet. I wish I had believed the bad reviews!!

So I walked over to make sure he issued me a refund , to which he claimed he was calling the cops because i was acting like a child and I was creating a scene. Oh and I was also accused of trespassing.I decided to walk out and wait for the cops which he did not call.How i knew he didnt call was because when i called to make the complaint the police said my complaint was the only one made.I will be reporting them to the BBB and headquarters. THEY ARE DISGUSTING AND RUDE.I am a paying customer just like everyone else.i was called retarded . crazy, disruptive just plain rude.

I have been training here since September of 2012 and came to NY San Da after 15 years of training in various combat sports. Its a great gym for those looking to train at every level -- from beginners who are looking for a recreational workout all the way up through those who want to fight at the amateur and professional level.Dave Ross, who teaches the advanced classes, is extremely knowledgeable in all things relating to Muay Thai and MMA, and can cater the techniques he teaches you to your particular strengths. All of the other instructors are friendly and can give you a great work out. The environment at NY San Da is familial, and the instructors care very much about helping you reach your goals. Its also extremely affordable compared to other martial arts academies in Manhattan.

I found NY San Da via a groupon special over a year ago and fell in love! Kickboxing is an incredible full body workout and the instructors here know how to push you to do your best without wearing you out. The classes are great for anyone from beginners to experts and the instructors will tailor the combos accordingly so everyone can walk out of class feeling like theyve challenged themselves. Its a great place to be a part of and Im so happy I found it! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

I signed up with a friend last week, and just after the first class I became addicted. I took 3 classes within that week! Not only do you get a great workout and are able to relieve your work-related aggressions on the punching bags, but the instructors are very high-energy and super-intelligent about the physics of kickboxing.However, the locker room is tiny, and theres only 1 guy and 1 gal bathroom (no shower). But its in a convenient location, and they even have later classes (630pm, 730pm) for the later work crowd.I highly recommend if you want to try out a couple classes with no commitment. AND you receive a free set of boxing gloves with the online sign-up! :)

NY SAN DA ROCKS! Joining as a member at the midtown west location on 35th street is hands down one of the best things Ive ever done for myself. The workouts are hard core, but adaptable to any level. The instructors are all amazing and its a super fun way to learn & to sweat. Ive been a member for over 3 years. Its actually unusual for me to continue the same fitness activity for this amount of time. I generally hop from one fitness program to the next as I tire of classes pretty easily. But this place definitely keeps you coming back for more. Im living lighter and leaner and lovin it. NY San Da is the real deal and getting to take classes from and among such talented boxers is extremely motivating. This no frills, straight forward gym, delivers.

I should have known by the name best kickboxing that this place was gonna be a let down, but I never thought it woulda been that bad. Went a couple months ago and seriously this place stinks. The workers are so rude and condescending, especially the fat old dude named david and the skinny weirdo with goatee and the muay thai shorts. But you dont need us to tell you, just read the replies they give to anyone with an honest review and youll see who they really are, so RUDE. Please do yourself a favor AND DONT GO TO THIS PLACE. Go to a real Muay thai place.

I recently purchased a Groupon for 10 kickboxing classes and a pair of gloves. I was really nervous to go to my first class since I only had experience with cardio kickboxing. When I arrived at the studio, I was greeted by the friendly staff and given an overview about what to expect from the class.I left my first class feeling accomplished and hooked on the methods of kickboxing. I have completed six classes so far and I have already seen strength and toning improvements. Each class is different and the instructors are always there to lend a helping hand.I highly recommend checking out this facility if youre looking for a positive and energetic workout environment. I bought the Groupon to get a feel for the classes and I will certainly be purchasing a membership when my Groupon classes end.

DO NOT JOIN!!!!!!!!!!!! I moved and tried to change my membership, no one would assist me and I ended up getting sent to collections for a small amount of $125.00 and also got charged a late fee. IF YOU LIVE IN THE NYC ARE DO NOT JOIN!!!!!!!!!! You would be better off joining a gym.

I found out about ilovekickboxing via groupon. I bought a 10 package deal and signed up at the Midtown West location, bc of the convenience of the location. It was literally the hardest workout Ive ever done. I remember thinking I would not bother coming back, bc I didnt think kb was for me. The instructor was very cool and patient with me. I was a yoga, Pilates and circuit training kind of girl. I was not prepared...that was over 2 years ago. I decided to join after taking my 6th class.The owner and staff are serious and passionate about giving you the best workout ever and thats why they get 5 stars from me. Their personalities are professional and direct. After all, youre taking kickboxing to sweat, relieve stress, get stronger, lose weight and to learn to defend yourself. The gym is very well maintained and super clean. Especially when you consider the amount of sweat that is dropped there on a daily bases. I LOVE New York Best Kickboxing!

Had a terrible experience with this gym. Very rude staff, and plus they trick you into signing long-term contracts that you cant get out of. I moved to Brooklyn unexpectedly from nearby, and it wasnt far enough so I got the pleasure of paying for 8 months of gym that I didnt use. Never go to this gym.
