The facility seems like a really engaging gym that could help better me as a fighter but whenever I made a call to register an appointment nobody would answer
Heres the difference between going to Balance Studios and going to the Gym.When your Leaving the gym:oh my god how can people do this all the time?! I feel horribleWhen youre leaving balance studios :Im tired, but Man that was fun and intense! Cant wait till next class!Never have I loved cardio so much!!
Great classes and great people. Been doing muay thai here for about a year and im in better shape than ever.
Love all of the Balance locations though this one is something special. Phil and Ricardos knowledge and mastery, as always, combined with the addition of Frank Ambrifis skill and expertise make this training experience intensely motivating and rewarding. As a female in a contact sport, I have always felt safe and encouraged to be my best.
Once again an awesome extension to the Balance Schools and Team. Phil and Frank are amazing instructors with over a couple of decades of world class experience. Proud to be apart of this team and was lucky to have had the chance to teach a class or 2 at this academy. Come try them out.
My 14 year old son has been here now almost 7 months. He loves it. The instructors are awesome. When he goes to a class where he is the youngest he never feels out of place. Highly recommended.
I train out in NJ but I go to Balance to train when I am in Philly and this place is fantastic. The instruction and facilities are top notch. As a woman in the sport sometimes it is hard walking into a place not knowing what kind of atmosphere youll find. Women are an important part of this school and I have always been made to feel very welcome.
Joining Balance has been one of the best decisions Ive ever made. Nothing else could be so enjoyable yet keep me sane and in good shape at the same time. I havent met one unhelpful person
The best place around to train Bjj and Muay Thai there are great people, instructors, and friends. I recommend it highly. Nothing else better in the Philly area love it there
Great Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Program from high level instructors. Also, you have the opportunity to train with other team mates and instructors from the other Balance schools in Fishtown and Center City. Always a diverse ranking of belts on the mats and also always lots of experience. An ego free environment.
Frank is an amazing teacher who truly cares about his students, not only how they progress in their BJJ journey, but also in their personal lives. He is one of the best Instructors I’ve come across.
My name is Justin Garcia and I am a black belt in BJJ. I have been visiting Balance for training for about 6 years now and I can vouch for not only the world class training and instruction, but the sincere intentions of its owners. Its not only about techniques at Balance, but the benefits ones Martial Arts academy is supposed to provide its members. Great job, Phil and Ricky!
Ive been training at this gym for almost three years, and every class is incredible. Phil Migliarese, Frank Ambrifi, and all of the other instructors here pay tremendous attention to detail in the techniques they teach, and I feel like my Jiu Jitsu has improved enormously since I began training here. The atmosphere is super welcoming to newcomers, whether youre new to the gym or Jiu Jitsu entirely. I cant recommend this gym enough!
Great place to learn Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai in a fun and friendly environment! Not having any training experience, I was nervous to walk in and roll around with a bunch of experienced guys... I have never met a nicer or more helpful bunch of people. I highly recommend Balance Northeast for anyone who is looking to get into the sport.
I have been training under the watchful eye of Professor Frank Ambrifi, Professor Phil Migliarese and Professor Ricardo Migliarese for over 10 years. I can without hesitation say that Team Balance/ Balance North East changed my life. In my 10 years as a student I have lost 50lbs, gained confidence, made life long friendships, developed a solid Jiu Jitsu game, and was put on the path to a healthy happy lifestyle. The Balance Team is second to none with high level Instructors and students .Balance is more than Jiu Jitsu.Balance is the belief that you can be better than you were yesterday .
Called several times...no one answers the phone! I left a message on the answering machine...no one calls back. To hell with them, Ill find another school.
Phil, Rick and their team of instructors are among the best in the World. If possible train with Team Balance!
I highly recommend training at Balance Northeast! TheGracie jiujitsu instruction is world class. Phil Migliarese and Frank Ambrifi teach the finer details and little things that are often missed when learning Jiujitsu. Those little key points make a huge difference when learning the proper technique. The training atmosphere is positive and the students have become great friends and family!
Amazing staff, great rates, & unmatched experience!
Anything with the name Gracie on it is first class and top notch.
Most awesome Gym the discipline is a matter of self control
