Coach Kara is the best! She is so helpful and push you so hard! I trained with her for almost a year. She not only give you training advice, but also the nutritional advice. I followed what she said and I lose 10 pounds in three month and lose many body fat too~ Choose Kara!
Awesome studio for a variety of fitness classes from endurance to strength/lift that are great for all levels. Each of the classes offered are challenging and will make you sweat! Instructors are all motivational, informative, and hands-on. Really have nothing negative to say about this place. Would love it if they add some yoga classes!
I always wanted to try this kind of class, very soul cycle type of class but soul cycle is for people that can pay 50 dollars per class which is not my reality. Thanks to this place I was able to have a similar experience for about 23 dollars which included the shoe rental. The class was very fun, a great experience!
Always great classes - professional trainers following the most modern methodologies in fitness. Also an A+ job and always go the extra mile to be inviting and kind. The facilities are new. What more can you ask for?
Great gym with a good energy and attentive staff.
Great workouts, motivating trainers.
I love this place. Wish it was still BFX officially. But either way. Great place to be. Great instructors. Great staff in general. Classes are great!

Come for the classes and stay for the trainers.. but if you can help it don't take a shower.
Pro:
The classes are 100%. I've taken a large variety of the classes and with most of the trainers. And they are all AWESOME! They are challenging but realistic (most of the time).
The service staff are super friendly and helpful. Within a week they knew my name.
Con:
The shower situation is pretty bad. There are only 2.5 showers (the 3rd is continually out of order). And you have the share the ridiculously small locker room and shower with the Cyc studio. Some times it's not an issue but sometimes it's out of control. Also, my own personal thing, people here do not know how to take quick showers. Thursday's in particular are the busiest and therefore the worst.
Note:
It's not a normal gym. You come for classes, which you'll see familiar faces every time, and not to use elliptical (they don't have any).
100% recommend this gym.

NYSC Lab on 6th Ave is THE BEST gym ever. I have had memberships to a variety of other gyms (Equinox, Planet Fitness, etc) and none of them even compare to NYSC Lab. I truly enjoy coming to the gym for the amazing classes but also for the people there. As a member, I attend classes at least 4x a week (on a bad week) and I am recognized by staff as well as other members. I feel like I am part of a family, which is important to me. The instructors, other members and the specific workouts keep me motivated and I have seen significant changes. NYSC Lab is worth every penny.
Had an amazing workout with Juan in his friction class! I know I am going to feel it for days and he was such a great instructor. Spoke with a couple people in the class and they have been coming to his class for almost a year! Great class, awesome instructor! Would highly recommend this gym!
Pros: Super clean; all the fancy stuff regular gyms don't usually have- Versaclimber, sandbags, a glorious variety of dumbbells and kettlebells, gymnastics rings; really challenging classes; a lot of helpful, motivating instructors
Cons: I have to say I was really turned off by Kira Stokes' class. I followed her on Instagram for months and, when I finally took a class, I was disappointed that so much of it felt like an advertisement for her "brand" (i.e., casually mentioning an upcoming magazine feature, repeatedly asking if we were "Stoked," name dropping the "Stoked Method," referring to supersets as "Stoked supersets"). She did very little to make newcomers to the class feel welcome. It seemed like there were a group of regulars that she focused on throughout the class, telling the newcomers to go to the back and watch the more experienced students and stopping to take videos (of the regulars) for Instagram instead of walking around and correcting anyone's form. She assured us she gives "great cues," so I guess she assumed the verbal cues were enough. I still got a great workout, so I was just going to chalk it up to picking the wrong first class... until I tried to ask her a question on my way out. She was standing outside the locker room talking to some of the regulars, so I waited to talk to her. "Do you need something?" -"Yeah, I had a question about the TRX." "Well, were you in my class?" -"Yes, like 5 minutes ago." "I have a train to catch. Can I answer next time?" Then she went back to chitchatting. The room wasn't big enough for her to not see my face over the course of a 60-minute class, so her response came across as very dismissive. I definitely won't be taking another class with her, but other people seem to love her, so maybe I just caught her on an off night.
All in all, I think it's a great studio and you certainly get an awesome workout, but some instructors are more welcoming than others, so I recommend you choose your classes wisely.
I signed myself and my boyfriend up for BFX burn as part of our class pass trial period. I love working out and rarely shy away from a hard workout or something new ...so off we went.
The facilities themselves are among the nicest of any gym I've been to. The bathrooms are beautiful and immaculately clean. The gentleman at the front desk greeted us politely and enthusiastically, welcoming us to the gym and explaining a little bit about the layout of the place and where we would find our basic necessities Etc.
The class itself felt like a cleaner, fancier version of a Crossfit class... Which suits me just fine since I find crossfit to be a great workout but a little gritty for my taste. The instructor, Alyse Barker, was very motivating and energetic, explaining each drill clearly. She really seems to love what she does and it shows. I'd be very interested in what other classes she teaches as well.
I'm not a weightlifter. despite being in overall good shape, I can't do ONE PROPER PUSH-UP. I like encouragement but I don't like being bullied into picking up a kettle bell that weighs 1/3 of what I do. This class was truly for all levels which is so refreshing.
I'll probably be sore tomorrow and I'll probably love it!
*** not relevant to the workout but the minty shampoo and other products in the bathrooms are absolutely wonderful!!***
I love this place - it's become a family!! I'm glad I came back to BFX
