I absolutely love Hip Fit! The workouts are challenging and fun, with great playlists. The instructors are incredibly supportive and offer individualized feedback for everyone (from first-timers to pros). Deena and her team put so much intentionality into creating a welcoming community and the vibes are exceptional!
Great kickboxing/martial arts gym! I’ve never done kickboxing before, so I decided to do their 2 pack trial class discount. I was nervous at first, but I told the instructor Keona that it was my first time, and she did a great job making adjustments for me and teaching me core techniques. The class was very rigorous, but I felt amazing and accomplished afterward! They had gloves available to borrow, and we used a mix of bags and weights in the class. Going again soon, and can’t wait!
Hip Fit is exactly what I needed to get moving again. I love everything about this place. Deena has created such a welcoming space. The coaches and fellow students are fantastic. The workouts are both challenging and fun. The coaches truly customize it to your level and are very great at breaking down the technique. And the music is lit!
I joined Hip Fit Fitness a little over a month ago and I love it! Our instructor Deena is amazing, she loves what she does and really wants us all to do and be our best! Everyone I have encountered here loves these classes, loves our instructor, are really nice and supportive of each other. Love Hip Fit Fitness!
I love training here! The vibe is super welcoming, and there's a real sense of community. Workouts are a perfect mix of cardio and technique, so you’re always challenged but also improving. Deena is an amazing and really empowering coach. Highly recommend if you want to get fit, learn kickboxing, and feel part of something great!
Hip Fit has helped me restart my kickboxing and fitness journey in the healthiest way. Coach Deena helps me stay consistent and continuously pushes me to do better. She's one of the most inspiring people I've ever met and I look forward to every class!

Each session feels personalized, and the staff makes an effort to create a friendly and motivating environment Highly recommend Hip Fit Fitness
I love this kickboxing class!!! I’ve gone to different studios and kickboxing/boxing gyms around NYC over the years and this one is my favorite. Deena is a talented instructor, great at working with all levels, and fosters an inclusive environment. All of the people I’ve met in class are cool (it’s not “culty” at all), Deena’s musical selections are energizing, and the workout is GOOD. It’s a well-designed 45-minute mix of strength training, cardio, and bag and mitt work. I always feel great after class, and I’ve made some new friends there, too. EDIT: The class has gotten even better since moving to Hell's Kitchen. The new space is BIG, and there's lots of room to spread out and practice punching and kicking. Deena has also started offering techniques classes for fine-tuning skills in addition to general kickboxing fitness classes, so there's definitely something here for all levels.
I started coming to classes a few months ago, and have enjoyed every single class I attend. The environment is super welcoming and I leave each class feeling strong and rejuvenated. Deena is a great instructor and takes the time to explain proper form and technique. You’ll be hooked after one class!
Awesome experience! The gym is super welcoming especially as I haven’t boxed in a focused way before. Deena is a great instructor encouraging you to continue, push and modify workout routines as needed. She also provides instruction on proper form which is key to prevent injury long term. Workouts vary day to day keeping things fresh. They also will kick your butt each time.
