I plan to go there after the new year, I searched all over NYC and ask many questions on here and other forums and only got good feedback about him. You could possibly negociate a price with him. I got him down to 180 month to month no contract, it all depends on how good of a negociater you are. Maybe I could of done bettr or maybe not i am happy with the price i got out of him compared to other schools, Renzo 250 unlimited and pretty much everyone else so I felt 180 no contact was a good deal at least for NYC considering it is 14 hrs. training a week.
Renzo is a awsome school, but his classes are too big, price is ridiculously expenive and classes have been cut to one hour. I am sure it is still a great gym, but I like the small atmosphere at Alliance feels more personal.
machado from what I hear is not much of a gym, almost everyone I talked to had nothing good to say about them, I don't know nevr went down to check it out.
there is a SBGi at figh house they charge 130 month but I not into paying a purple belt more than 130 bucks a month to train especially if all it cost is 50 more to train at Alliance.
The main reason I like Alliance is small atmosphere, 2BB trainers per class, awesome semnars throughout the year, they offer if you ike yoga and muay thai, if your a beginner in Muay Thai there program is great if you have trained like I have in it then it's not worth your time. Good loation 14 st. 3 ave.
here in brooklyn there is a renzo BB charging 220 month whith is ridiculous especially for the fact he has a purple belt teaching his classes, plus you have to sign contract.
