I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I walked in the door of SCNY. All I knew is it was time for me to start something new to drop the weight I packed on over the years. I was frustrated with myself. But after my first class, I was into it. After training for 1 month I was definitely hooked. I'm feeling better and I've dropped weight. Made friends that feel like they are family. Kru Rob, Kru Bea, Coach Kurt, Coach Jon, and the lady with the best smile and laugh Bridgette all the members thank you for all your support!

Jiu-jitsu program is top-notch. Classes are small and one can really process and integrate all the new techniques learned. Staff is friendly and over-all great environment.

I've been coming to Square Circle NY on and off for the past 3 years even though it's located down in the Financial District and I live and work more uptown. I've made the effort to travel to this gym because I really like the friendly owners, Kru Rob and Kru Bea, and I enjoy the Muay Thai classes (even though I'm normally pretty picky about my workouts). The best thing about the gym is that it's constantly improving since they moved to a larger location. They added a fully equipped weight room, extra heavy kicking bags, and more space for classes. They also include weight circuit classes, yoga classes and allow you to attend BJJ classes occasionally if you're interested. There are even some open mat times if you want to come workout without taking the class.

My review comes after being here for a full year now. This place is really clean. No shoes policy, the mats are cleaned every hour, this place is vacuumed a few times a day. Very family-friendly. I've been training BJJ and Muay Thai and can honestly say I've never been better informed and confident in what I'm learning. Definitely recommend it.

To me, Square Circle New York is a training ground packed with exciting curricula for beginner and advanced Muay Thai and BJJ martial artists, where great people gather and comradery is valued.

I love this place! The teachers strike a perfect balance between discipline, technique, and fun, and through some of the time-honored techniques and approaches to Muay Thai, have discovered aspects of myself that I always kinda thought were there, but that I never really uncovered before.

I love training here! I play in a sports league during the summer and needed something to do offseason to stay in shape and build strength. I'm now a regular going in most weeks 2-3 times. Playing sports and being physical, I usually feel like I'm at the fringes as a woman, either because there are so few women or because there's the prevailing bias that women shouldn't play/train with the men. At SCNY, that is definitely not the case. From the first time in for an intro class to five months later as a regular, I have always felt welcomed and included.

The instructors here have been great mentors to me. I initially joined to gain more control of myself and use what is learned to push myself to the limit. The instructors are extremely helpful and are constantly teaching.

I joined this gym about 6 months ago to mix up my work out and lose weight. However, in that time I fell in love with Muay Thai. Learning and training here it's almost impossible not to develop a love for it. The entire staff is amazing. SCNY isn't a gym it's a family!!! I truly would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning Muay Thai, BJJ, or who just wants to have a great work out with great people!!!
