I absolutely LOVE this gym, and I will forever be grateful, to Bobby, Varsha, and all of the fabulous instructors, for changing my life, for the better. Their dedication, their knowledge/expertise, their passion, for what they do, their kindness, their generosity, their hard work, their spirit, their energy, and their HEART, are all unsurpassed, which makes them stand out, above the rest, and which makes them shine, above everyone else. They truly are a one of a kind gym, and one of a kind people, and I will be a member, and a fan, for life! I cant thank them enough, for all that theyve done for me. When I first moved to Oyster Bay Cove, last summer, I was looking to find a gym, where I could lose some weight, get healthy, get strong/fit, plus make some new friends, and I found all of that, and MORE, when I found this gym. While I have been a gym rat, off, and on, for years, and I have taken every class, under the sun, lol, I had only taken ONE kickboxing class, so I was a little nervous, and I didnt really know quite what to expect, the first time, that I walked in to Bobby, and Varshas, Ilovekickboxing, Oyster Bay, Long Island, gym. The minute, that I walked through their front door, I was instantly put at ease, by the terrific instructors, who were extremely warm, and welcoming, as were their members, who cared enough, to make someone who was new, feel right at home. One of the things, that also impressed me, right off the bat, was Bobby, who personally, took me aside, and took the time, to get to know a little bit more, about myself, and my fitness goals. In all of my years, of belonging to various gyms, I have NEVER had the owner, of the gym, take the time, to sit down with me, or have one, who seemed to genuinely care, about how he could better help me, fulfill/reach, my fitness goals, and dreams. During my very first class, I was amazed, by not only the very outgoing, personable, and extremely patient, instructors, who were more than happy, to help me, throughout the workout, but by the members, too, who were having SUCH a fantastic time, getting a great workout, and who all seemed, to know each other, and like one another, immensely. It was a wonderful family atmosphere, that I had longed for, and I couldnt believe, that I had found such an incredible place. I felt like I had won the lottery. The class was probably the most fun, but challenging, class, that I had ever taken, with helpful, funny, and energetic instructors, with an array of eclectic, pump you up music, and an intense workout, using muscles, throughout my entire body, some of which I never knew, that I had....haha! I immediately became a member, after that first class, and it was the BEST, and the SMARTEST decision, that I could have ever made. In just a few short months, of taking classes, several times a week, not only was I ADDICTED, and I looked forward, to going to class, and seeing everyone, but I lost 25 pounds, I lost a couple of jean sizes, I gained muscle, I became toned, and I received compliments, on how wonderful I looked, from everyone, even people that I didnt know all that well, but who had seen me, at the very beginning, in that first class. I felt healthy, and strong, my energy level, was through the roof, and my confidence, and my self-esteem, had never been higher. I felt like I could conquer the world, and I felt supported, and loved, by strangers, who quickly became, my close friends, my family, and my mentors. As a live-in nanny, sometimes working 12 hour days, I was worried, that I wouldnt have time, to exercise, but in addition, to offering classes, throughout the day, this gym offers classes, late in to the evening, to accommodate their members schedules. Bobby, Varsha, and the instructors, continually come up with ways, to make the classes fun, fresh, and exciting, as well as going out of their way, to get us all together, outside of class, too. They truly care about their members, and they want only the best for them, which is evident, in the time, and the effort, that they put in.

NOT a typical dojo.....there is a lot of heart here. From the first time I walked in to current day, I find a welcoming, friendly environment. The owner and each instructor have been knowledgable, fun, motivating, and each put their own personal touch on each and every work out which provides variety in conditioning, combos and music. There is a knowledgeable nutritionist on site weekly to sit down with and monitor diet and fitness progress. There is a convenient class schedule available to suite even the busiest person. Ive been a member for a year and a half. When I first began, I was a full-time graduate student, working 2 jobs and would squeeze in a kickboxing class when I could. I saw results, but now that I graduated, I attend kickboxing classes more regularly and meet with the on-site nutritionist. I lost 6 pounds in 3 weeks by sticking to a high protein 1300 calorie diet created by the nutritionist, and attending kickboxing classes 3-4 times a week (and counting)! My body is becoming lean, my flexibility is returning to what it used to be, my endurance is improving, my strength is growing, and my energy level is high. To further build a support system, the owner and the instructors throw parties at the dojo or a catering hall, and create softball teams outside the dojo to create a social, family feel which a lot of members, including myself, have fun participating in. Oyster Bay has its charm and Ilovekickboxingoysterbay definitely adds to it! I highly recommend it to those serious about health and fitness. Beast Mode!

I love kickboxing in Oyster Bay is the best place for a great full body/cardio workout. Bobby, Adam, Steve, and Mary are some of the best instructors in the business. Earlier this year I was working out 3-4 times a week at a gym for three hours. Though I was seeing results it became repetitive and a routine. I was asked to take a three day trial and try it out. Half way through the first class I felt muscles burning that I haven’t felt burn in a while. Right then and there I was hooked. I couldnt just do the three day trial. I signed up, and became part of the most welcoming family and friends anyone could ask for. If you are thinking about joining, you can’t make a decision on just words. You have to come down yourself and experience what all the fuss is about. Take my word on it, you won’t be disappointed. You’ll be part of a class full of smiling, sweating people all chasing the same goal, a healthy lifestyle. You will have a second family that will be a great support system and push you to reach your fitness goals. Not only will they help you reach them, they give you incentives when you hit certain levels that will push you even harder. Give it try, the only thing you have to lose are pounds of fat. G.S.D. (come find out what this means)

I have been going to class since April 2014, prior to that I did the whole gym routine and was having trouble finding the motivation to go lift weights or even go for a run. I remember my first day, Mary, one of the instructors asked me how important it was for me to achieve my goals and I said it was "not that important" because I was just so blah on working out that I didnt want to let myself down if I wasnt into the class. However, after that first class I honestly could not wait to go back. The workout itself is a total body workout and regardless of what kind of shape you are in or your athletic ability anyone can do it. Along with the awesome music being played, Bobby, Steve, Adam and Mary provide the right kind of motivation so that you want to achieve whatever your fitness goal might be. The last thing I want to add is that aside from the physical aspect of the class, you also leave feeling like you are mentally stronger. Each class ends with a motivational quote/story, I will leave it to best storytellers ever to tell you them but there have been a few times where I thought back to some of those stories and they helped me get through my day. The last 7 months has been a life changing experience for me and I hope it will be for you!
