Specialties

Fitness Fight Camp is a kickboxing and Muay Thai based bootcamp. Our camp offers 8 classes a week in Central Park and is open to motivated women and men who want to break through their exercise ruts and reach their fitness goals.

We’ll give you an individually tailored workout that will allow you to burn the maximum amount of fat, while building endurance, strength, and muscle tone, all while having fun and learning real and easy-​to-​follow adapted fight drills. You will get all the attention of personal training at a fraction of the cost in a motivational, group setting with boot camp-​inspired elements and an always-​changing variety of partner drills.

Our workouts are never the same, so you won’t get bored, but you’ll always be blasting tons of calories, toning up your trouble spots, and improving your stamina and cardio. All we ask for from you is a good attitude and a drive to push yourself.

Come sweat with us and get hooked on the amazing feeling and results that will follow!

Established in 2010.

Fitness Fight Camp was designed for motivated people who want to achieve their fitness goals, but didn’t necessarily want to be trapped in a gym setting. You couldn’t ask for a better setting than Central Park. We look forward to getting fit together!

I signed up for a class through Vimbly and they were a no show today. A bunch of the people who signed up for class were idly and patiently waiting for an instructor to show up to no avail. The class was to start at 6:30 PM. We all waited past 6:45 only to be informed by someone else who signed up for class that she just received a message that classes were cancelled.
This was a huge waste of our time. Not only did you disappoint me and my friend, you stood up over 10 people wondering whether classes would ever start.
A bad first impression.

Got this as a groupon just to try out new fitness regimens and glad I did. Laurel and Ben are awesome people and the workouts are intense, fun and always different. I definitely see a difference in my body and endurance.
Love it and I’d recommend anyone who is into cardio/​boxing/​kickboxing to go. It’s awesome!

I stumbled across a deal for Fitness Fight Camp in Summer 2011. I had always been looking for a workout I didn’t hate and thought hitting stuff could be fun. Almost 2 years later I still look forward to class each week. Ben and Laurel are great instructors. They make me feel strong and confident in my abilities, and always give individual attention when needed. Each class is a great mix of strength and cardio. I leave class every time feeling a good amount of sore and exhausted. My endurance has increased exponentially and I have defined arm muscles for the first time in my life! Kickboxing has also made me feel a lot safer as a girl in NYC. If I ever find myself in a dangerous situation I feel like I now have the ability to protect myself.
If you are looking for a great workout, but also a fun time FFC is extremely highly recommended!

My fiancé and I like to take boxing classes together. We’ve been to a few of the boxing gyms/​classes in NYC. Ben and Laurel are great trainers. Not only do they teach good combos giving us great workouts, but they also make the class fun. Both Ben and Laurel have fun and easy going personalities. The only reason why I’m giving 4⁄5 stars is because of the location at Pearls Studio and not at a real gym with shower facilities/​lockers and padded floors and also because the workout is only 60 mins (we enjoy getting our butts kicked with 90 min workouts). However, Ben and Laurel allow members to take 2 classes back to back (total of 120 mins) and only deducting 1 class. Unfortunately, because of work and commute, we were never able to take on that offer. They also do outdoor classes in Central Park, which we haven’t tried but heard alot of good things about.
If you are looking for a non-​initimidating boxing workout with fun trainers, Fitness Fight Camp is highly recommended.

I absolutely love Fitness Fight Camp! I work out regularly and had been looking for something new to tone up and switch up my routine. I found out about Fitness Fight Camp and started taking their classes. I have not been disappointed! The class is fun and you get a great workout. Each class is different so you never get bored. Ben and Laurel are great instructors and fun people!

Whether you want to train in kickboxing, look for an alternative to the standard workout, or seek a challenge, Fitness Fight Camp is where you can do all three and have a great time doing it. If you’re new to kickboxing and have never thrown a punch or kick, have no fear, as you’ll learn the basics (along with proper technique).
A typical class is usually a small group, and consists of warm-​up drills, striking drills (where you’ll work with a partner, usually a fellow student or one of the trainers), and the cool-​down at the end. The drills are never the same as the last class you attended, so you’ll always find yourself facing a new challenge.
The two trainers, Ben & Laurel, are both really cool and great to work with. Don’t worry about making mistakes and embarrassing yourself, as they’ll demonstrate each strike and drill quite nicely. They also provide all the essential equipment, like hand wraps, gloves, and Muay Thai pads and shields. Best of all, when the class is over, you’re gonna be sweaty, you’re gonna be worked, you’re gonna be doing something great for yourself, and you’re gonna love it.
It’s never too late to start training in a martial art, so stop reading this review, get signed up with FFC, and starting punching and kicking your way to a new, stronger you!

My friend bought the groupon for five classes and invited me to go with her. After our first class, I wanted to come back for five more classes. It was so much fun to do something outdoors, in a group of great people, and have a challenging exercise. I have no previous experience kickboxing, and the trainers always explained the moves and encouraged me along the way. It’s one of the best exercise classes I have been to. I definitely recommend this class!

I was wicked bummed when my Muay Thai instructor stopped teaching at my old gym a couple years ago and just never found a good replacement until I stumbled across Fitness Fight Camp. It’s perfect — you get some conditioning drills to start, and then it’s head-​first into a fun mix of partner work with pads. No stale, repetitive boring drills here. And everyone is super supportive, from the instructors to the regulars. Plus you get to work out in Central Park — why work out in artificial lighting when you could be working out in sunshine and fresh air? Basically I’m harassing everyone I know to come to class. You should come too!

I have always been a big kickboxing fan, and used to go to an exclusively kickboxing gym when I lived across the river. Since I’ve moved to NYC, I could not find as fun, thorough or good of a workout as kickboxing. After going on a mission to find good workouts in the city, I have determined that Fitness Fight Camp is THE WAY TO GO! Ben and Laurel are amazing — no question or technique is dumb, they take time to correct you and don’t laugh when you fall on your face (see how good you punch/​kick at 6:30 in the morning, smart guy!). I love the flexibility of the classes, even the early morning that really work for me. I can’t stop thinking of the workout I got this morning. Boo-​yah!!! If I could give them SIX stars, I would!

Fitness Fight Camp is the best workout I’ve ever done! Ben and Laurel are fantastic trainers. Every session is challenging and different so you never get bored. You don’t need to have any kickboxing experience to take this class and you will feel stronger and more toned after your first one. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to vary their workout routine and see results right away. It’s so fun that the hour goes by so quickly and you don’t even realize how much you’ve been sweating! Take these classes — you will be running up 5 flights of stairs and showing off that bikini body in no time.

When I first joined Fitness Fight Camp (Sept. 2010) I was looking for something that was different from all of the other gyms and trainers that I have experienced in the past (I have had a few). I can get bored quickly. At first, it was weird working out in the park (who does that), but as the session went on, it was different and I actually enjoyed it. My next session was unique, it was raining, and my first mistake was asking on whether the class was canceled.
I saw that the trainers, (who happen to be the best in the world) Ben and Laurel were dedicated in working with anyone who came to class. They are professional, encouraging, and patient and truly make you feel good about the progress that you make. We do not do the same routines; they are always different and fun to do. Therefore, you do not have to think about it as work! It is hard to find good experienced trainers who can do that.
I have lost weight and toned down, but most importantly, I have found a workout that I enjoy and that is never boring and keeps me coming back.
So, stop reading this, log on to their website, and join us for a fun-​filled workout that you will not forget, trust me, you will not regret it!

The trainers were really encouraging. In only an hour I felt like I was not only getting a great work out but it was so fun that the time flew by so quickly. They were professional, friendly & fun. Even as someone who has never been into martial arts, they made it feel accessible. I am definitely going back for more!
