I love this kickboxing class!!! Iāve gone to different studios and kickboxing/boxing gyms around NYC over the years and this one is my favorite. Deena is a talented instructor, great at working with all levels, and fosters an inclusive environment. All of the people Iāve met in class are cool (itās not ācultyā at all), Deenaās musical selections are energizing, and the workout is GOOD. Itās a well-designed 45-minute mix of strength training, cardio, and bag and mitt work. I always feel great after class, and Iāve made some new friends there, too.
EDIT: The class has gotten even better since moving to Hell's Kitchen. The new space is BIG, and there's lots of room to spread out and practice punching and kicking. Deena has also started offering techniques classes for fine-tuning skills in addition to general kickboxing fitness classes, so there's definitely something here...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI love this fitness class! Deena is so friendly, kind, and welcoming. I recently started my journey with boxing and was invited here by a friend. I did two classes in one week, thatās how much I enjoyed it. Although I am a newbie, Deena made my experience easy to follow with instructions and demonstrations. She is encouraging, motivating, and her music is on point, helping you work out to every beat. She takes the time to acknowledge every individual during the class and brings that personal connection into her space, making it all our space. I love the energy & positivity.
The full-body workout combined with boxing/kickboxing gives you a great workout thatās worth what you pay. Within a few minutes, I was sweating, and my entire body was working. There was no dull moment during class, and I felt empowered by the rest of the group. I look forward to my next class Hip...

Deena is an instructor that leads with a lot of integrity and grit you will be motivated AF to do whatever she tells you to do š„š„š„ it has taken me a while to find a workout that Iām not checking my watching every min to see when the hell will be done. This class has you engaged start to finish š„š„ I have been searching for a while, but I believe this is just what I need.
Iām 31 and I used to work out with tapes on you tube in my living room , but trust me working out at this gym with Deena in real time is more conducive to teaching my fitness goals (including mindset ) you will not only see results on the outside but...
