One of the single best decisions I’ve made in a long time coming to this gym as a new member I must say I love being at this gym training and learning great place to be everyone is so friendly and very welcoming. Feel like I’ve learned a lot since I’ve been here And my body feels great. Feel like I’m really getting in the shape again and in the correct way, I must say anyone thinking about giving this gym a try I would say go for it you won’t regret it.

From the looks of it.. looks k though it's true they do help to stay in shaped very strenuous work out.. but unfortunately the contract they offer and how they offered seems shady at most.. I have seem from experience people get force to pay for an entire year of membership for classes they don't longer want to take or can't longer afford plus the collection agency that's in Florida and keeps harassing you to pay.. I can understand penalties for 6 months but for a full year.. what's going on here

Beautiful gym with lots of equipment and great staff as well as teachers/coaches who are very patient with children and adult an are really interested and dedicated to teaching you how to defend yourself/get in shape or reach whatever martial arts/fitness goals ur looking to achieve. I can’t under state how much I recommend it. Being apart of this gym has been one of the biggest positive influences in my life

I was an ECF member for several years when they were located in Lynbrook and I have to say that the instruction and training you will get here is far superior to other gyms that advertise similar programs. Owner Sensei/Coach Christian is a phenomenal athlete and former pro MMA fighter and his workouts and fight training will get you into the best shape. Although the classes are no walk in the park and you will work hard and sweat, ECF caters to all genders, body types, and ages, whether you are just looking for fun and fitness, or you're hoping to fight professionally, you will be training with people like you. There are kids and adult classes. You won't find a better kickboxing class anywhere in Nassau and I've seen Sensei training some incredible fighters as well. I loved all of the classes but kickboxing was my absolute favorite - cardio, strength training, abs, and kicking, punching, elbowing and kneeing solid, weighted bags (not flimsy bags like some places). No two days are the same and you won't feel like it's just a rote or cookie cutter workout routine (like you'll get a ILKB and other corporate joints)- far from it. You'll learn many types of punches and kicks and other moves you can use in real-life if you're ever in danger. And if you're ok with contact and want to learn even more techniques or train to fight, there is boxing, jiu jitsu, and MMA, or you can schedule a private training session. Sensei organizes REAL local MMA fights and all students are welcome to try to train to fight, or attend to cheer on the fighters. The fighters will take classes alongside you (even fitness kickboxing!), and seeing them training is so motivating. Even in larger classes, Sensei always finds a way to give individual attention to each and every student. My little goddaughter visited and did a private session here a few years ago when she was about 3, and she still talks about it - no martial arts classes come close to the experience she had at ECF (if she lived in NY, we'd enroll her here). I also need to point out that during the pandemic, ECF did everything right. First they held only outdoor classes with masks and temperature taking and other requirements to ensure health and safety. When we ultimately moved back inside, it was done with social distancing and extensive, frequent cleaning. Ignore the bad reviews - people have what they think is one bad experience (that they probably caused themselves) and come down on a place they really know nothing about. This is a solid martial arts and fitness gym. Give it a try - you won't be sorry.

I started at ECF in Lynbrook back in January and it was the best decision ever! I started with taking boxing and Kickboxing and recently started Brazilian jujitsu. The classes are great because they cater to all levels, beginners and advanced. I am not very coordinated and it’s hard for me to remember the moves but that doesn’t matter at ECF. The Coaches are so patient and always check on each student in the class to see if we need help and make sure we get the technique down. I never thought I would be a gym person but ECF makes it a learning experience while getting a serious work out and sweating your butt off! There are even kid classes! Join ECF if you want to learn some amazing skills, self defense or just want to get an amazing workout!ECF also has safety and sanitizing procedures for each student and each class. The gym is constantly being sanitized which makes everyone feel safe!

Wouldn’t want to train anywhere else. ECF Lynbrook isn’t only a team but expect them to treat you like family as well. Great training environment, great coaches and top of the line equipment.

ECF is the best gym I have gone to, it’s clean, new equipment and they follow strict COVID regulations. My boys love the kickboxing, boxing and Jiu Jitsu. Professor Christian is such a knowledgeable and professional teacher/trainer. He has helped us develop a healthier lifestyle. All the instructors are are amazing!

I love this gym! I started coming here about a year ago, wanted somewhere close to home and the wanted the cardio and active workouts. I liked the idea of doing kickboxing, but didn’t think it would become the staple it is in my life. The workouts are intense, but that does not deter you from wanting to do more. The trainers are professional and skilled. They give you the tools, practical skills and encouragement. The best decision I could make. I hate missing session, I’m addicted to kickboxing ?

I've been a member of ECF for a little over a year, and through these trying times I couldn't be happier and more proud to be a member. The facility is top notch and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure that the facility is clean and there is proper training equipment for everyone. The classes available can satisfy every age group and experience level, and the personal training that professor Christian provides is unmatched. Whatever you are looking to do, whether to get in shape, compete, or learn a martial art, this is the place to go.

As a current member of the military & former wrestler, I have been to many gyms on Long Island and although I do appreciate what I’ve learn from those gyms, none compare to ECF. I have been training here for a few months now and they have provided well organized/quality classes for their members. The owner Christian and his staff are great mentors and heavily involved in the progression of their students.I hope this helps anyone who is looking for a good gym to call their home.
