Breuckelen Athletic

"I absolutely love this gym -- and the people who are behind it! I've been going for almost 2 years and appreciate the atmosphere, the knowledge and experience of the coaches, as well as the incredibly well maintained equipment and facilities. If you're looking for coaching sessions in a private and semi-private setting -- look no further than Breuckelen Athletic! Can't recommend them enough."

"I love this gym. I've been going for 2 years and have been super happy with the results-I'm stronger and feel great. I tried for years to lift on my own, but, despite my best efforts, I wasn't able to really push myself. My coaches at BA have been excellent and motivating. I also feel they push me to the right degree so I avoid injury. That said, when I hurt my elbow from moving boxes at home, the in house physical therapist was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I can't recommend this neighborhood gem enough!"

"Great gym! I’ve done some personal training with Luis who is super knowledgeable, encouraging, and great to work with. The open gym plan that doesn’t include personal training is also great! Guaranteed use of the squat rack is so convenient. The space is clean, looks great, people are all friendly, and well equipped. Love working out here!"

"I've been going to BA for over 18 months now and have recommended it to friends who are also regulars now. Luis and team have tailored my workouts to ensure I get the most out of them while consistently improving my performance. I've lost weight, gained muscle, and couldn't be happier- I've gone from once a week to 3x week now because of the results I'm getting! It's a great facility and staff for every fitness level- love this place."

"Breuckelen Athletic is an incredible asset to Gowanus/Carroll Gardens. I run, but wanted to begin weight training to increase my strength and improve my overall fitness. Luis and his team are wonderful, and the whole Breuckelen Athletic community is kind and supportive. I go to semi-private trainings 2 times a week at 6:00am, and I truly look forward to them (and that's saying a lot, given it's 6:00am in the damn morning). I love the people who are in my sessions with me, and everyone brings a really positive attitude to train. Luis is not only an impressive communicator, but also an inclusive and supportive coach: he does a really good job at pushing me when I need, but also reminding me to be patient and go at the pace that is safe and effective for me as an individual. I've gone to a few different gyms before, but this is the first where I feel a real sense of comfort and belonging. You won't feel judged and you need not be intimidated by this if you are new- you'll truly be encouraged to "simply begin," and taken care of along the way."
