You will not find a better gym. Kru William is just the best trainer there is in nyc. He makes everyone feel welcomed, and everyone treats each other like a family. Nothing but good vibes, and seriousness about improving ones fighting technique. I’ve been coming here a little over a year, and I still feel as comfortable as I did when I first started!
