10th Planet Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - NYC

Gym

👍👍 NYC itself is almost oversaturated with Jiu-Jitsu academies, so while you'll have no trouble finding a school to train at, there are almost none as welcoming as 10th Planet NYC. Given the crazy pedigrees of the larger schools, it can be intimidating for a beginner. However, Rey and Cece have gone ou...

New York Jewelry Design Institute

Adult education school

👍👍 If you want to learn about starting a business or getting into the jewelry industry, you can't do better than NYJDI. I recently took a private class with Jenine to learn about building out a thoughtful business plan. I was impressed by how thorough Jenine was in explaining all of the steps needed t...

World Arts East

Dance school

👍👍 Erica has built an amazing and beautiful space. She goes way beyond for teaching. I have been going every week for a few months to practice Samba more and I have so much fun every week. The space does not feel like a dance class where you go in and out and it feels anonymous, I feel like I actually...

National Personal Training Institute

Personal trainer

👍👍 I went there about 10 years ago. I was a lost college student with no career and didn't have any answers to what I was going to do. Going to NPTI was the greatest most defining moment in my life. It taught me how to train and become the best at it. I now own my own training studio and have been trai...

Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts

👍👍 Found it. I was looking for a Tiger Schulmann’s location, where my son who is 15 years old could train alongside the best. We’ll I found it at this location. I signed my son up this about a year ago. The talent at this school is very high, which help my son be his better self. The staff, studen...

Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi

Yoga studio

👍👍 So where to begin... I was slow to love this place. I started coming intermittently a few years before the pandemic. As someone who is physically fit--I practice yoga and ballet--the exercises seemed relatively easy and I had not yet experienced the deeper connection the practice offers. After my L...

Holographic Studios

Art gallery

👍👍 I encourage you to take a class from Dr. Laser--you'll love it! I took a wonderful class here, made my first hologram, learned a ton about holography, and had a lot of fun. Dr. Laser is a great teacher--he helps you dive into hands-on learning very quickly and explains the science and methodology o...

AntiGravity LAB

Yoga studio

😠 I wish I could give it zero stars. I was there today and attended the class for the first time. The instructor did not measure the silk right as a result I couldn’t even start the class. She just kept looking at me with an unapproachable attitude and not helping atall. Instructor makes or breaks a c...

Evolution Muay Thai

Muay Thai boxing gym

👍👍 Came here more than 10 years ago, and realized I haven't left a review. The head instructor Brandon is fun, and humorous, and has been the entire time I've trained here. I've seen him handle varieties of situations inside and outside the gym in an exemplary manner, eg. recently he saved some unconsc...

Church Street Boxing Gym

Boxing gym

😠 Was really disappointed in coming here. Trainers were unfriendly and didn’t come over to help or correct technique. It’s one of those gyms that only cares about those trying to do amateur even though they have other paying customers. The gym is dirty, they don’t wipe down the mats between classes or...

CompleteBody Midtown East

Gym

😠 I had done my research on the gyms in the area. Completebody looked like the best for the price, especially because they didn't charge startup and cancellation fees for someone only looking for a shorter term membership. So I went in expecting to buy a membership... But then left feeling like I'd b...
