So I always heard about this place through a good friend I know for years. She recently started going to this gym that she gave high regard, but since she said it's far far away I never looked into it. Not until a coworker mentions the same gym months later. My coworker and I decided to be each other's motivator I guess and workout together when the gym is open.Every time I mention I want to leave Retrofitness they wouldn't shut up about it. So fine I asked for the information here so I can look it up. They were both talking about Crom lol. Funny huh? I can whip myself back into shape, and not become tired all the time.Overall the gym was great to increase my endurance and energy. However, I didn't get much fat percentage taken off more than I thought for the amount of time I was going. This really gave me a great start to see what will work more for my body to burn fat for a longer time. I' currently not nearby Crom anymore because of COVID19. If I'm ever in the area I will try their program where I can do different classes. After experiencing exercise classes form different places I understand what worked for me.

I recommend everything about Crom. Great authentic training and very knowledgeable all around. It is truly an awesome gym and place to be. I can't wait for their next venture when COVID-19 is over! Chris and Sarah are two people who have always shown true strength and excellence for what they've done for the gym and community!

Came here with a group of 23 alumni of Wounded Warrior Project and were greeted and treated all weekend with the upmost respect at this family run business. The values they hold are the same that Veterans hold near to their hearts and it was wonderful to spend time learning the history of the owner and spending time in his wonderful gym. I encourage anyone in the area to stop in for a lesson or even a chat with the staff to help your physical or mental well being! Thank you all again for being such gracious hosts to us. And to the wonderful students and members of the gym who allowed us to occupy their space for the weekend and instead worked out in the cold outside or quietly in corners of the gym it was all noticed and thank you for your sacrifice to allow us the time and space to learn and work out.

Today was my first day taking a Muay Thai class. It was amazing. I learned a lot in one class. Everyone is warm, welcoming, and friendly. If you decide to take a class, then this is the right place to register for one. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing. I was a prior crossfit and judo practitioner before i came to Crom. Over the years of constant exercise my back started to feel worn out. I took some time off and then my box closed. My Time Off became 4yrs off. I gained massive weight back. i went from 200lbs to 265lbs. I decided i had to take action again no matter what. Crom Really intrigued me. It had Muay thai, bjj, boxing, crossfit, their own programs called shred and the 28 day weight loss callenges. I havent gotten back to crossfit but plan on it. ive been taking the muay thai , shred classes and the weight loss challenges. It has been great usually normally before crom id tweak my back 3 times a year and out each time for half of the month. So far none for the entire year here! The Weight Loss Challenges Are great at helping you know what to eat and you get coached along the way. Shred is less weight lifting and more body weight exercises. Muay thai is just great relief hitting the bag and pads. Im currently 220lbs and have 20 more pounds to go. Oh and workouts on the beach/ boardwalk are dope since its so close by.

I've been to many gyms and martial art facilities in my lifetime and I can say without a doubt that CROM has one of the best kids martial arts programs I've ever witnessed! The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, friendly, funny and firm all at the same time. Teaching children is not an easy task but the coaches make it look as such. I've seen not only my son but all the kids in his class grow in confidence since they began their journey.

Crom Physical culture is a benchmark of Rockaway beach. Owned and operated by power couple Chris and Sarah Romulo the gym is a real community center and physical fitness powerhouse.

Crom Physical culture is a benchmark of Rockaway beach. Owned and operated by power couple Chris and Sarah Romulo the gym is a real community center and physical fitness powerhouse. Chris is a long term member of New York City's fight world and was a pioneer in the Muay Thai scene. Along with being a tough as nails fighter he is also an inspirational leader and has given a multitude of talks in the area including local schools. He recently penned a great biography Champions Uprising which recounts his struggles as a young kid from a broken home to a champion fighter. Sarah has been in the ring herself and adds a nice wholesome feel to the gym. She knows her stuff. The gym itself is large and spacious. It has a very large fitness, weights, and kettlebell area which is perfect for functional training. There is a good sized ring in the back which is perfect for the Muay Thai program (run by the experienced Chris). There is also a great jiu jitsu program and a strong kids class. The location is the Romulo's second. The first gym was devastated by Hurricane Sandy but the Romulo's have heart and were able to come back from the natural disaster to build a great inclusive gym for everyone. Great location, superior facility (with showers!) and amazing people make this a go to in Rockaway beach.

Crom is this special place on earth where you step in your first time and immediately feel like belonging to their community. Sarah and Chris created a place which combines not only knowledge on an expertise level but also a strong, warm and friendly community. The coaches, as well as the members, are awesome guys! You can feel that this place is about sharing values, building friendships and becoming the best version of yourself. I stayed for a month and this place really has become a second home for me
