We were at the Arlo Soho rooftop location, and WOW was this cool! I thought it would be an easy workout, but it challenged muscles I havent used in ages and struck the perfect balance between tough workout and fun experience. Put that quality workout on the roof of a cool hotel on a beautiful morning, and Surfset has the perfect recipe for success. The surfboards are connected to a set of rubber balls and elastic straps that mimic the stability of a surfboard in water.This is a small, family-owned business, and one of the owners was our instructor. He was not only a great teacher but a nice guy, and even someone like me (with no real surfing history) interested in the sport.They also do trips out to Long Beach for real surfing in the ocean, as well as to the wave pool at the American Dream mall in NJ, which makes surfing accessible even to folks who arent great swimmers.Finally, the owner let us know that you can purchase packages from them and split the package between friends (something hardly anybody in NYC does anymore).I cant recommend Surfset enough. I will definitely be coming back!

Honestly had a ton of fun. I was definitely worried coming into the class (especially balance-wise) but left signing up for the summer list to surf 😄 Lauren was an awesome teacher, and the class was very encouraging

Beautiful clean, airy studio owned by the sweetest couple. I fell in love hard from the first class I took. Its super challenging and incredibly fun. There arent many workouts that have you leaving sweaty, strong and with the biggest smile on your face. There are even one day surf retreats in the summer! The aloha vibes are REAL here!

I had a great time at the beginners class. This is a unique fitness class. Combining surfing maneuvers with cardio and strengthening made the experience very enjoyable. Diana is a wonderful instructor! She clearly explains each move and motivates us along the way while doing every exercise along with us. I will definitely be coming back!

Okay, the reason for the 5 stars is this, great front desk, inspired trainers,a thoughtful renovation of the facility (they know what theyre doing!) Tons of new equipment .And...happy informed, helpful management.I say it like it is. This is a very good deal.Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Instructor was super nice and made the time to get to know everyone - including newbies - in the class. I have never been surfing but love the vibe of this studio- theyve got a shower too. Def try the intro class first!

Had a really fun experience taking the Blend 6pm class (mix of beginner and intermediate participants). The instructor, Gail, gave us options to challenge us further if we wanted, but empowered and energized us all equally. I’d even recommend this as a fun activity for bringing friends from out of town before grabbing dinner and drinks nearby!
