BK Fit Studios - Clinton Hill 78 Emerson Place, Brooklyn, New York 11205,

"I have never done cross fit before and will admit when I walked into this gym for the first time a few months ago I was intimidated. As a girl working out in a gym with a bunch of dudes doing intense things like hang power cleans with bar bells for the first time.. it can be really intimidating. My experiences at this gym have been very positive though from the moment I walked in. The teachers are all SO friendly. Shimi, Roman, Alison... They all take the time to learn your name and give you personal instruction (esp if you're newish). They really teach you proper form and are SO patient. It's very encouraging. And then on top of that everyone at the gym is super friendly. I'll have guys in class fist bump me after class or say great workout. It's a really nice vibe. So I do a lot of different workouts and I'll say this is the only one that leaves me feeling sore for days afterwards. There's something really amazing about being able to do this type of workout that not only makes me feel physically strong but mentally strong. Highly recommend!"

"I originally went to BK Fit becuase it was the closest gym to my house but ended up working out more than ever. The coaches and other class memebers are all so welcoming whether you feel like chatting that day or not. They’ll coach you through exactly what you’re doing and give you a high five for any progress you make! Can’t reccomend it more, even for any CrossFit novices out there like I was!"

"As many others have said in the reviews, this gym cares about one thing: money. There is no sense of community and you get the sense that all you're worth to the owners is how much revenue you're generating for them. I was a member at this gym in the spring and summer of 2023. I took the "free" introductory class and signed up for a monthly unlimited membership the same day so that the cost of the class could be applied to the first month's fees. They pressure you into purchasing a difficult-to-cancel membership day of. When I took my friend a few weeks later, he didn't immediately join and was instead sent an offer for an entire month free just one week after his introductory class. When I reached out to them asking if there were any similar offers, they said they run different promotions for different customers. Other annoying things BK Fit does: - $15 cancellation/no show fee: WHY? none of the classes are ever full. This kind of fee is only beneficial if classes fill up and customers have a hard time booking into certain time slots. It disincentivizes customers from booking into classes that they cannot attend but capacity was never an issue. - Cost of beverages/protein bars: why was everything more expensive at the gym than the bodega at the end of the block? - Cancellation policy: they require you to cancel at least 30 days ahead of next bill date, which is nothing more than another money grab. - Credit Card processing fee: they charge a 3% fee on top of the already high monthly membership. Not a huge amount but again just seems like a slap in the face and not something I've ever seen any gym charge. Just bake it into the monthly fee so that customers don't feel like they're being taken advantage of. There are some good coaches (Ligia, Courtney, Roman) but the programming isn't amazing and the overall vibe is definitely off. Would not recommend."

"I absolutely love BK FIT. Best workout experience ever. Trainers are quite knowledgeable. The space is large and can accommodate larger crowds though classes are usually around 10 people which allows trainers to pay attention to all trainees. Great variety of workouts. I have been a Monthly member for a month now and I am seeing results. Highly recommended."

"After not having done crossfit for over 10 years, and now being in my late 30's, i was a bit intimidated and nervous about injuring myself. After working out with Shimi and his AWESOME, supportive, friendly trainers I'm so glad I pushed past the nerves and am investing in my health- Roman is great also. I too have heard its an easy way to injure myself, and it seems as though the trainers are more patient, knowledgable and open to pushing me to my limit, not the limit of some crossfire champion or what's written on the board. It's truly the most intense workout I've ever done and after each class im charged up and so happy I pushed myself as hard as I did. I highly recommend this workout if you want to get in the best shape of your life- just speak up and go only as hard as you want. And I've read people complaining about their pricing. First off, there's nothing better than your health in invest in. Secondly, they're very very upfront about the costs and the cancellation policy with auto-pay- they sent a whole email detailing it and made me submit that i understood the terms very clearly. A personal trainer is easily over $100 a session and this is so much less than that as just as valuable. *dumbbell drop*"
