Modern Martial Arts

Excellent staff. Caring, competent and great with my kid. My son loves his class and that's a huge win.

Amazing teacher and a really fun experience all around!

Responsive, caring staff. Thoughtful programming that teaches the children discipline and respect; local/community business that is about values not fluff.

Supportive staff; excellent instructors that are very engaging and make learning martial arts challenging yet fun too

I highly recommend Saturday kickboxing box led by the instructor Phips. He's really serious about you doing things properly, at the same time, he's kind and constantly gives you encouragement and tips.

Saturday yoga class led by Hannah is also superb. Hannah is like the most trusting yoga instructor I've ever seen, and her voice is just adorable.

The yoga mats here are free, yet, not all are clean.
Same applies to the kickboxing gloves.

I've been going to this location of Hip+Fit pretty consistently since August 2015 - yep, I'm one of those Groupon-to-purchase people.

First, there are no men. I guess kickboxing is more geared towards women, but it should be noted in case you prefer to exercise around women.

There are locker rooms downstairs but some people for these classes don't use it and leave their stuff upstairs, so that's up to you. No showers. Bring water.

The class is 45 minutes and is usually bookended by youth/adult karate. I would suggest fingerless gloves or wraps; the clunky boxing gloves aren't really necessary. This is a full body workout that can be intense but is beginner friendly. The teachers are great and classmates are cool, so I really can't complain. You're there to push yourself but if you have an injury or not used to some moves, there are modifications. Staff remember you too, and that's always nice.

Great place! Very supportive people! I just finished my first class yesterday and it whipped me good. I couldn't get to the actual kickboxing part. The warm up/workout before we got there got me good. At least, I can say I made it through the hardest part of the class. I will keep you all posted as to how my remaining 9 classes go. (Purchased Groupon for 10 classes)

Extremely encouraging staff and students. It was great to know that this school really works you and other students have had similar experiences. I'm going back on Friday, I know it will be better.

I came here in January using the one month unlimited yoga classes via Groupon ($39). The studio was about 10 mins walk form my office so I came here about 2-3 times a week during their lunch classes - yoga and pilates. The class size is fairly small, ranges from 4 to 10 people, so you get pretty good attention from the instructor. I highly recommend taking the Thursday pilates class from jackie..she was super!

This definitely was not a high end studio (not locker nor shower), but if you just want a place to release your stress and strengthen your core during work day, this is the place to be.

MMA Tribeca has been a lifesaver throughout Covid. Our son (now 8) has been going for four or five years, and we have always been so impressed with the instructors, the format, everything. He has so much fun, but also learns important lessons and self-discipline. As great as they were, when Covid hit and they started zoom lessons, they really took it to the next level. In both their virtual summer camp and weekly lessons, these instructors are gifted teachers that have been such a wonderful activity for not just our son, but also our 10 yr old daughter who wanted to join after seeing how much fun our son was having. Ms. S, Mr. B and Mr. S are so great, and we are so thankful that we have them, and MMA, as part of our family. Can't wait until we can get back to normal in person lessons, but until then, so happy to have the virtual ones.

This review is for the Tribeca location. The classes/instructors are usually fun and challenging and the music is on point.

So why three stars?

Because of their class usage policy. I initially found out about Hip + Fit through Groupon and liked it so much that I've purchased multiple 10-class packs since then. Over the past few months work and life were pretty hectic so I wasn't able to make it in as often as I would've liked. When I came in earlier this week, I was informed that my membership had expired and if I wanted to use my remaining six classes, I'd have to buy another 10-class pack. What's the point of memberships expiring? Once I've paid in full I should be able to use my classes whenever my schedule allows me to. I wasn't planning on dropping $175 that night, but I did it anyway so that I wouldn't lose those six classes. If their policy was a little more flexible, it would be 4-5 stars.
