Beast Martial Arts & Fitness of Oyster Bay — Local services in Town of Oyster Bay

I absolutely LOVE this gym, and I will forever be grateful, to Bobby, Varsha, and all of the fabulous instructors, for changing my life, for the better. Their dedication, their knowledge/expertise, their passion, for what they do, their kindness, their generosity, their hard work, their spirit, their energy, and their HEART, are all unsurpassed, which makes them stand out, above the rest, and which makes them shine, above everyone else. They truly are a one of a kind gym, and one of a kind people, and I will be a member, and a fan, for life! I can't thank them enough, for all that they've done for me. When I first moved to Oyster Bay Cove, last summer, I was looking to find a gym, where I could lose some weight, get healthy, get strong/fit, plus make some new friends, and I found all of that, and MORE, when I found this gym. While I have been a gym rat, off, and on, for years, and I have taken every class, under the sun, lol, I had only taken ONE kickboxing class, so I was a little nervous, and I didn't really know quite what to expect, the first time, that I walked in to Bobby, and Varsha's, Ilovekickboxing, Oyster Bay, Long Island, gym. The minute, that I walked through their front door, I was instantly put at ease, by the terrific instructors, who were extremely warm, and welcoming, as were their members, who cared enough, to make someone who was new, feel right at home. One of the things, that also impressed me, right off the bat, was Bobby, who personally, took me aside, and took the time, to get to know a little bit more, about myself, and my fitness goals. In all of my years, of belonging to various gyms, I have NEVER had the owner, of the gym, take the time, to sit down with me, or have one, who seemed to genuinely care, about how he could better help me, fulfill/reach, my fitness goals, and dreams. During my very first class, I was amazed, by not only the very outgoing, personable, and extremely patient, instructors, who were more than happy, to help me, throughout the workout, but by the members, too, who were having SUCH a fantastic time, getting a great workout, and who all seemed, to know each other, and like one another, immensely. It was a wonderful family atmosphere, that I had longed for, and I couldn't believe, that I had found such an incredible place. I felt like I had won the lottery. The class was probably the most fun, but challenging, class, that I had ever taken, with helpful, funny, and energetic instructors, with an array of eclectic, pump you up music, and an intense workout, using muscles, throughout my entire body, some of which I never knew, that I had....haha! I immediately became a member, after that first class, and it was the BEST, and the SMARTEST decision, that I could have ever made. In just a few short months, of taking classes, several times a week, not only was I ADDICTED, and I looked forward, to going to class, and seeing everyone, but I lost 25 pounds, I lost a couple of jean sizes, I gained muscle, I became toned, and I received compliments, on how wonderful I looked, from everyone, even people that I didn't know all that well, but who had seen me, at the very beginning, in that first class. I felt healthy, and strong, my energy level, was through the roof, and my confidence, and my self-esteem, had never been higher. I felt like I could conquer the world, and I felt supported, and loved, by strangers, who quickly became, my close friends, my family, and my mentors. As a live-in nanny, sometimes working 12 hour days, I was worried, that I wouldn't have time, to exercise, but in addition, to offering classes, throughout the day, this gym offers classes, late in to the evening, to accommodate their member's schedules. Bobby, Varsha, and the instructors, continually come up with ways, to make the classes fun, fresh, and exciting, as well as going out of their way, to get us all together, outside of class, too. They truly care about their members, and they want only the best for them, which is evident, in the time, and the effort, that...

NOT a typical dojo.....there is a lot of heart here. From the first time I walked in to current day, I find a welcoming, friendly environment. The owner and each instructor have been knowledgable, fun, motivating, and each put their own personal touch on each and every work out which provides variety in conditioning, combos and music. There is a knowledgeable nutritionist on site weekly to sit down with and monitor diet and fitness progress. There is a convenient class schedule available to suite even the busiest person. I've been a member for a year and a half. When I first began, I was a full-time graduate student, working 2 jobs and would squeeze in a kickboxing class when I could. I saw results, but now that I graduated, I attend kickboxing classes more regularly and meet with the on-site nutritionist. I lost 6 pounds in 3 weeks by sticking to a high protein 1300 calorie diet created by the nutritionist, and attending kickboxing classes 3-4 times a week (and counting)! My body is becoming lean, my flexibility is returning to what it used to be, my endurance is improving, my strength is growing, and my energy level is high. To further build a support system, the owner and the instructors throw parties at the dojo or a catering hall, and create softball teams outside the dojo to create a social, family feel which a lot of members, including myself, have fun participating in. Oyster Bay has its charm and Ilovekickboxingoysterbay definitely adds to it! I highly recommend it to those serious about health and fitness....

Coming to ilkb in Oyster Bay is not only a hell of a workout but a fun and safe place too. The owner, Bobby, and staff are extremely friendly, welcoming motivating and half of the reason I show up to class. I went to maybe 20 classes back in high school like 7 years ago and stopped coming to class because life just kept getting in the way. Walking back into the gym back in May, I thought I would be a new face to everyone and that it would be a new start to kickboxing but right away Bobby remembered me and knew the ways to keep me coming back to class. Before starting classes this summer I would try to go to the gym but never really knew what to do when I got there. I felt like everyone knew I didn't belong every time I finished an exercise. At the end of every workout here I know I have gotten the best workout they had to offer and I know that they pushed me beyond my comfort zone, something I knew that I couldn't do on my own. Anyone who knows me knows that I have never found working out to be fun or something to look forward to but that is not anything close to what I feel towards ilkbOB. On top of having a great workout and having fun, I know that I am feeling results and get excited when friends say that they see results. If you're looking for an awesome workout and a fun crew to do it with, check out ilovekickboxing but not just any location, make sure you come to Oyster Bay because this location is special because the people here care that you show up and get...
