The instructors and students are the best. The only small complaint is some people with long nails can scratch people's face or neck.
Can 14 year olds or above do muay this
I’m in Philadelphia for the week for work and dropped by to take their Muay Thai class. I got a chance to chat with the owner, Phil. Super nice guy and let me join in BJJ also. Ben was also great. I enjoyed the class a lot. It’s different than what I’m used to in the gym back home but it was fun to experience how other gyms train and taught me some new things. If I’m ever in Philly again, I will definitely be stopping by to train here.
My son (8) has been attending classes since businesses were allowed to reopen from the pandemic and this place is great. Welcoming environment, thorough instruction. My son has really come into his own since joining Balance.
Here's 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 horrible" When you're leaving balance studios : "I'm tired, but Man that was fun and intense! Can't 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.
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.
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've 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 you're new to the gym or Jiu Jitsu entirely. I can't recommend this gym enough!
Anything with the name Gracie on it is first class and top notch.
Joining Balance has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Nothing else could be so enjoyable yet keep me sane and in good shape at the same time. I haven't met one unhelpful person
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.
Love all of the Balance locations though this one is something special. Phil and Ricardo's knowledge and mastery, as always, combined with the addition of Frank Ambrifi's 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.
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 .
Most awesome Gym the discipline is a matter of self control
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.
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!
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 you'll find. Women are an important part of this school and I have always been made to feel very welcome.
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 it's owners. It's not only about techniques at Balance, but the benefits one's Martial Arts academy is supposed to provide it's members. Great job, Phil and Ricky!
