Best gym I have ever been to! Family friendly, small and personable. The trainers, Greg, Adam and Dan are awesome, fun, kind, welcoming and encouraging. No matter what your age, shape or size is they will help you succeed and feel great every step of the way. You truly become one of the family! My family started with Krav Maga classes for self defense training about a year and a half ago. This has developed into more classes for all of us, and both the kids now competing in BJJ. Women's boot camp classes are amazing :)

I love this gym! The workouts are intense but fun, the atmosphere is friendly & inviting and the trainers are awesome. I've made new friends, done things I never thought I could physically do, and become stronger than I've ever been. I can't say enough good things about this place.

I rely on Yelp for absolutely everything. I had always seen people say things like "I never write reviews, but i had to with this place". I always thought they were exaggerating. How good can some place really be?? Well ladies and gentlemen, It is my turn now!! 914 Training Center is by far the best place that I have ever trained. YES, you read that right!! THE BEST PLACE. I moved around alot throughout NY and everywhere I go, I try and find somewhere where it will challenge me and allow me to grow. Well this place wins!! Everyone at this place is absolutely amazing. All of the coaches

Best instructors and best group of gym mates anyone could hope for. To a person, the people at the gym are supportive and encouraging. The instructors know their stuff and push you to be your best while keeping an upbeat, friendly atmosphere. On the mat, gym mates push you hard while keeping it at your level. I am 50 years old and a relative newcomer. I'll roll with a 25 year old with many years of experience, and he'll work me hard without breaking anything. They run a great kids program too.
Combat sports are not for everyone. But if you are remotely considering it, 914 Training

After signing up for classes a few weeks went by and the pounds started falling off. My stamina is up and my energy level is crazy. Im ready to take on the world. Sensei Greg is awesomely talented and I havent met another instructor like him and Ive been to a few different self defense schools. 914 Krav Maga is the BEST in the area and definitely worth the time and money. Clean, friendly, family oriented.. Outstanding job !!!

I studied Krav for 2 years in Europe and was trying to find a gym in the Westchester area that provided excellent training and attention to detail. I joined this gym in April and love coming here! I keep up with the Krav and started training in BJJ as a beginner as well. Very inviting place for women and the instructors are hardworking, patient and motivating. Couldn't have found a better place to train.
