Church Street Boxing Gym Chelsea Reviews

This gym is perfect for beginners who want to grow into professional Muay Thai kickboxers while learning authentic Muay Thai boxing. I’m truly impressed by the environment here—the space is so clean, equipped with modern training machines, a large fighting ring, multiple branches, plenty of boxing and Muay Thai heavy bags, and even showers. Overall, an awesome gym!

I was visiting NYC for a week and the owner gave me a special week pass. Great instructors. Very welcoming and challenging classes.

My name is issam and I’m a passionate and dedicated boxing enthusiast. I’ve been training regularly and working on improving my skills, and I’m very interested in taking the next step in my boxing journey. I would like to ask if there is an opportunity to join your club. I truly admire the work you’re doing and would be honored to be part of your team. I’m eager to learn, grow, and contribute, and I would also love to participate in any upcoming tournaments if possible. Thank you for your time and consideration. I’d be happy to provide more information or attend a trial session if needed. Looking forward to hearing from you.

In general I have been getting better at martial arts and physical conditioning since joining Church street. I love the thoughtful instruction and opportunity to take multiple classes in a day. The other students are helpful as well

First time at this gym and I was thrown straight into training with no instruction or guidance for a beginner. I had no idea how to throw the punches or follow what the coach was doing. Overall, it was a confusing and disappointing experience.

Highly recommend! The staff and folks I interacted with were all very helpful and kind. The Boxing - Beginner Class with Maksym was a super fun challenge as someone with zero experience. Fast-paced but not unmanageable for someone new to training. For my first time ever throwing a punch, it was a great time. I’ll definitely be returning regularly :)

Hands down the best instructors, greatest workout, and nicest people who workout/train there in all of NYC.

CSBG is definitely my happy place in the city! They absolutely have the best, truly supportive trainers, lovely staff and a wonderful community where everyone has each other's back! While the Chelsea location is the most convenient for me, the Long Island City location is brand new and so spacious, and the original Park Place location is for sure the most raw, real and reliable dungeon in NYC! Love it!!

Did the "All levels" class and I am NEVER going back!!! First, the front desk guy made sure to tell me that the class was "VERY HARD!" more than once, with a tone saying the I would not be able to handle the class, without knowing my fitness or boxing background. Who do you think you are to be underestimating people?? During the class, we had to pair up and there was an odd number of people. I end up without a pair. Halfway into the class, he put me with one of the pairs, so whenever two people were sparring the 3rd person was either waiting or practicing on a bag. I spent 3/4 of class practicing on a bag alone and the instructor never once came to offer to be my pair or correct mine or anyone's forms, he was either sitting and watching or on his phone. Extremely disappointing!

Church Street Boxing Gym's Jiu Jitsu program with Coach Pablo (Pabs) is a hidden gem! Pabs is not only super knowledgeable but also makes every class engaging and fun. I'm surprised his classes don't cost more, considering the quality of instruction and the supportive atmosphere. It's like being part of a big, welcoming family at the gym. If you're looking to learn Jiu Jitsu and have a blast while doing it, Church Street Boxing Gym with Coach Pablo is the place to be! And let's not forget about Assistant Coach Selim! He's just as awesome, adding his own unique style to the classes. With both Pabs and Selim on board, Church Street Boxing Gym is where you'll get top-notch Jiu Jitsu.

Came here while visiting NYC last year from Canada. They happily allowed me in for a free class and it was amazing to see everyone’s talents in this gym! Super friendly and very good place, give it a try for yourself, you won’t regret it!

Don’t come here. Went to a beginner class and was taught nothing - 20 min warm up, 3 min beginning lesson with no corrections on movements at all, no such thing as safety lesson / how to avoid injuries to beginners. My friend who learned muai Thai in Thailand said everyone at the beginning class has bad forms. 30 people crowding at a very tiny place, touching people even during warmups. Avoid at all cost.

Hi Kaiyan, thank you for taking the time to review your visit to the gym. We're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience. A last minute change in the schedule led to an unexpected uptick in attendance that evening. Our coaches and staff managed a difficult the situation the best they could. Thank you for understanding. -CSBG
