This studio is my sanity, therapy, and happiness. I don't know where I would be without the support of these instructors, and these amazing classes. I walked in after purchasing the groupon, the instructors thought I would never return, 3 and a half years later I still walk in. Just the best!!! More...

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!!! More...

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.

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. Can't say enough about Sifu Ross and if you stay long enough if it feels like family. More...

I can't 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! More...

I started at NY Sanda in 2008. Training here helped change my life giving me an outlet to let out my aggression and beat an unhealthy lifestyle. I'm very grateful for the skills I've picked up from Sifu Ross and his staff. I have trained in other gyms and always did well because of my kickboxing start at NySanda.

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 you've 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. More...

I was brought here by a friend. First class I was not thrilled, it was hot and I didn't 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 More...

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 it's 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 someone's mom didn't 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 didn't know existed. But like I said after 6 months I am liking what I am seeing ane people are making nice comments. More...

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, it's 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 More...

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 I've gone to more than 20 classes in a month which is shocking for me. I'd 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 More...

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 More...

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 didn't want to behave like a normal person. Everyone who has been a member here has seen those people, you can't come into a class 20 minutes late and YES you need your gloves, it's 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 More...

I have been a member a little under 9 months and I am in the best shape of my life. There isn't any secret here, it's just a good workout and they push you. No, you aren't going to get tough and the basic workout isn't going to make you Bruce Lee, but it is a lot of fun to kick the bags and learn some cool spin moves.

I have had gym memberships several times and they never seemed to click for me. After a few weeks I'd 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 More...
