From the reviews
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.
I loved the classes at NY Best Kickboxing during my four months-stay in the city. They offered a perfect balance of cardio/strength training and technical classes to improve your kickboxing skills. Thanks to the instructors and the group for creating such a welcoming and motivating atmosphere.
I am writing a review because my experience here is so very different than some of the rather strange things I have seen written. I come to the gym via classpass and always have a great experience. It is NOT a very fancy place, it is a small martial arts school.
Signed up to train here for about two months while in the city for an internship and had a great experience. There are students of all skill levels and lots of beginners come through from the groupon deal. Everyone I met at the gym was polite and eager to help me learn.
New to kickboxing? Start at NY Best Kickboxing
NY Best Kickboxing comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at NY Best Kickboxing
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
