This place is absolutely amazing! Coach Manny is an excellent teacher, his lessons are filled with fun, jokes, laughter but also with well made rigorous training that will push you to your limits and make you a much healthier/ better person both physically and mentally! Manny is very experienced and has a lot of great knowledge on everything he teaches. Furthermore, Manny cultivates relationships with students which significantly elevates the experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

Having 2 teenage boys on the spectrum is overwhelming. However finding an activity to help them focus and redirect there energy was difficult, until I was introduced to Training zone. Staff had recommended private lessons to build confidence and trust. Now there engaged with conversations and the respect for Manny & Jay is on the next level. Safe, clean, respectful environment. Thank you team - Training zone!

I would highly recommend Training Zone to anyone looking for a great workout and a supportive environment! I have been going to TZ for the past 5 years, 3 times a week taking cardio kickboxing and muy Thai. The workouts are the perfect combination of technical martial arts training and high intensity cardio. There’s a ton of variety in the different skills and exercises we do, so no class is the same, it does not get boring and you are working out different muscle groups constantly. Manny, the owner and head instructor, cares about each of his students and gets to know everyone individually. I have been to other gyms in the past where you are a number, but that is certainly not the case here. The staff will make sure you are receiving individualized attention and getting what you are looking for out of the workouts. I would also recommend Training Zone to anyone looking to meet new people. I have made some great friends here, and the sense of community is not something I have seen at other gyms.

Training Zone NYC is excellent. Manny and team provide a full body and mind workout every session. In addition to the rigorous workouts, they also build relationships and care about each student thriving both inside and outside the gym.
