Best gym I have ever been to! Family friendly, small and personable. The trainers, Greg, Adam and Dan are awesome, fun, kind, welcoming and encouraging. No matter what your age, shape or size is they will help you succeed and feel great every step of the way. You truly become one of the family!My family started with Krav Maga classes for self defense training about a year and a half ago. This has developed into more classes for all of us, and both the kids now competing in BJJ. Women's boot camp classes are amazing :) More...

From the educated instructors to the hands on demonstrations and personalized critiques - 914 Training Center exceeds all. The instructors are always ready, willing and able to show you the most updated techniques in each discipline(There’s a number of choices available). All skill levels present so it’s easy to test your own limitations as well as get the experience you need without being overwhelmed. Equipment is updated/replaced frequently and the bathrooms are always kept spotless. 914, through the maintenance of their own standard; has become my school. More...

I rely on Yelp for absolutely everything. I had always seen people say things like "I never write reviews, but i had to with this place". I always thought they were exaggerating. How good can some place really be Well ladies and gentlemen, It is my turn now!! 914 Training Center is by far the best place that I have ever trained. YES, you read that right!! THE BEST PLACE. I moved around alot throughout NY and everywhere I go, I try and find somewhere where it will challenge me and allow me to grow. Well this place wins!! Everyone at this place is absolutely amazing. All of the coaches are great. They are patient, understand and fun. If you can't have fun while you learn, it's not worth doing in my opinion.I have been gong here for about 6 months now and plan on going for as long as possible. More...

I've been training under head instructor Greg Melia since I was six years old. Not only is he a great teacher he is also a great person who cares about your personal goals just as much if not more than you do. 914 Krav Maga Training Center is a place you can go to get fit and learn self defense and have fun doing it. The level of experience shared between all of the staff members at 914 Krav Maga is hard to find anywhere else. Great place to enroll your child to learn about self defense, fitness, social acceptability, and much more; learning values that will follow them throughout life. More...

There isn't a day where I have gone to train and regretted it, but there are days where I haven't and wished I had. I can't say enough about the people that own, work and train at this gym. Greg, Marty, Adam, Dan and Livia are passionate and extremely knowledgeable about what they do. They are phenomenal, talented teachers who make what could be an intimidating environment welcoming. They can break down technique and specific difficulties in ways that make sense and work for you demonstrating deep knowledge and understanding of martial arts. Whatever you go there for whether it be to learn to fight, self defense or exercise you will immediately feel at home. I really wish I could put into words the what the experience of learning from these guys has done for me personally but it's really something you need to experience for yourself. Stop in sometime, watch a class, try one out because if you are at all interested in martial arts I can confidently say of all the places you try out this one will resonate with exactly what your looking for.

Come to Krav Maga to find out what your body can do for you. I am weeks away from my 50th Birthday and have an autoimmune disorder which had affected my balance and energy level. I began, with help, strengthening my core to improve my balance. Six weeks ago on Easter Sunday I squatted to get something from an under the counter cabinet and needed my husband to help me up. Yesterday I walked over a mile & squatted 47 times by myself. This center is truly remarkable. The staff are very welcoming and the focus is on meeting you where you are and improving you physical abilities. More...

I’ve trained with Greg in the past, and my kids, now 9 and 13, have trained with him since they were each 5 years old. When Greg opened 914 Krav Maga my kids insisted on moving from the prior dojo to continue training with him. Since then 914 Krav Maga has added new wrestling and Jiu Jitsu classes, and scheduled them in such a way that my kids come in, take the next warm up class, which start every half hour, and then alternate between the stand up and grappling classes, until they’re done. It’s an amazing schedule, and they’re always happy about their challenges and progression. More...

The main thing to say here for starters, is that this is the best place on the planet. I have been training here for about 7 months now and have trained all different styles of fighting/martial arts that they have to offer and get in there between 4-6 days a week. I walked through the doors the first time not even knowing for sure what I wanted to do or get out of this place. I just wanted to get back into Martial arts and boxing because I regretted giving up on it years ago.Marty, Greg and Adam (Lily especially) were very warm and welcoming from the very beginning. Within the first 15 minutes, I knew this was the place to be. In the time that I have been there,I have quit smoking for good and I have dropped around 45-50 pounds,(another 20-25 to go) gotten healthier, leaner and stronger. I have made several improvements all around with the training, but I have also changed how I am as a person, calmer, more confident, more optimistic. I never had the intentions of really wanting to compete and it was never even thought of or considered, but I was inspired by Greg and Adam and the rest of the fighters and the hard work that they put in there and competing is absolutely the direction that I am now headed towards.They give 100% loyalty and dedication to you and give the extra push you need and instill the confidence that you need to be aware of what your capabilities are. If you want to be healthy, you go here. If you want to be in a positive and non-toxic environment, you go here. You want the best training out there and always improve and learn you go here. Marty, Greg, Adam and the entire fight team, are all awesome and these guys are more like a family to you than just a team. I am So glad to be a part of this place and you will be glad too. More...

The instructors, staff and community at 914 Krav Maga are like family to me. From the moment I met Greg I felt welcomed. Doesn't matter if your a beginner or a seasoned pro you will be treated with respect and humility. The community at this gym wants you to succeed at whatever goal you have. Whether your training for a grappling competition, trying to lose weight, or learn self defense, this is the place to go. Greg and Adam not only teach great technique in their classes but they motivate you to break past mental and physical barriers. Many times during a Muay Thai, MMA or a kickboxing Bag class my body wants to give up. Greg and Adam always have the right words to make you go that extra mile. I can go on and on about this gym but you have to experience it for yourself. Try a class and any doubts that are in your mind: ( "I don't know what I'm doing." "I've never done anything like this before" "I don't want to look stupid" "what if no one wants to help me cause I'm new") will slowly fade away then a few months later you'll look around and realize that complete strangers have become your family.

914 Krav Maga is the BEST place to train! The facilities are amazing, complete with lockers, showers, and restrooms perfect for families, and adults coming straight to train from work. A variety of classes are offered in different styles of martial arts and at multiple times during the day/week, so there's always an opportunity to train.

What I love most about training with Westchester Martial Arts are the people.

Q&As

We work with them to understand their goals and build programs to meet their goals. We help with meal programs and lifestyle changes that will result in a better quality of life both physically and mentally.

Setting realistic goals and making steady gains towards those goals.

Helping people realize their goals and dreams and helping them attain them.

I have watched people age and become sick and unable to enjoy a good quality of life. I believe that exercise programs can help in longevity of life while enjoying a good physical quality of life. I enjoy helping people who have the motivation to exercise but lack the knowledge of what exercise program is best for them. Also, some people need to be accountable to a trainer so that their motivation stays high and they will continue with the program.

I am very experienced in the health and fitness field and at age 62 I have gained the experience of customizing workout plans that fit individual goals and needs.
