Blue Titan Fitness & Self-Defense, Rockaway CrossFit

Jen was very encouraging and supportive of me as a first timer in the class. I was nervous going in and felt confident leaving

Coach Cheryl is awesome. Her classes are challenging and rewarding. She's a great motivator and she pushes me to keep going, while also suggesting modifications for anyone in class with limitations. The combination is great for me as a person with disabilities. Thanks Coach Cheryl!

As usual Keith was at top of the things: very supportive and encouraging to try our best. Giving lot of useful tips to correct the technique. I enjoy his class a lot

I enjoy and appreciate the way you teach sparring José. Thank you.

Awesome class as usual! Jen always provides the best workouts! They always hit the full body . And they are always challenging! Never had such great workouts!

Class is always killer with Jen but worth it, she always pushing and motivating to go harder and faster and better. whether I’m focusing on perfecting my form or just breathing hard and making it through intense cardio sets. The workouts push me physically and mentally, and every session I’m learning to believe in myself more. The coaches at Blue Titan are constantly watching closely - they notice when my form starts to slip, adjust my weight to keep me challenged but safe, and check in to push me harder when my mind is telling me to quit. It’s been just 2 years since I thought simply holding a barbell was too heavy, and now I’m deadlifting Rx weight in an open workout! I can feel myself always pushing forward, even on days when I don’t see the progress right away. The atmosphere at Blue Titan Fitness & Self-Defense, Rockaway CrossFit makes the hard work feel worthwhile and keeps me coming back.

Class with Lima was very well thought out. We worked on things specifically to build and improve our skills. Her instruction was fun and extremely informative.

Love Cheryl’s sparring class and weapons class on Saturdays. Her teaching style adapts to the individual, she pushes you but she informs you that you should trust your body responses in case you’re injured or unable to do certain moves

My first day back after a brief hiatus and Coach Glenn made sure my workout was modified for my transition. As always the Coaches at Blue Titan in Rockaway put safety first while still pushing everyone to reach their full potential!

Coach Keith is excellent at structuring class, making it fun, & keeping us motivated. His cues are always on point to adjust my form so I can achieve a new move or lift heavier and prevent injury. Blue Titan is my happy place - a space where I feel supported, challenged, and energized every time I walk through the door.

I thought Anthony did a very well job explaining everything for the first time and I really enjoyed it!

Lima is an awesome Krav coach/teacher. She explains everything in great detail with awesome visual examples. She’s also never judgmental about her students abilities or starting points in their learning. I love going to her classes!

Helped me reach my PR in my bench!! Always encouraging and very helpful in not just showing but explaining why and how we do each movement.

The specific feedback it extremely helpful. I could stay stuck in my ways or I could listen. I appreciate to always be pushed to do the work.

Lima is the best coach we can ask for. She makes it fun, engaging and pushes the limits. Her encouragement and support makes me come to class consistently.

Becca is awesome - appreciated the stretching warm up and modifications throughout!

5/5 Stars – Highly Recommend! Today was my 2nd Krav Maga class at Blue Titan Fitness. I was hooked on class 1. So glad I started! The instructor is awesome—very knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely kind. She takes the time to give everyone valuable, personalized feedback, which makes a huge difference, especially as a beginner. The classes feel practical, intense in the best way, and the environment is welcoming and supportive.

Coach Becca is awesome. Her stretches are definitely the best and really help me feel more prepared and recovered. Plus, she’s always encouraging during class, which keeps me motivated to push through even when it’s tough. She creates a positive, supportive vibe that makes every workout better.

Keith’s coaching has definitely improved my workout experience at Blue Titan Fitness & Self-Defense, Rockaway CrossFit. He personalizes each session to fit my needs and goals, which keeps me motivated and challenged. His attention to form and technique helps prevent injuries and makes each workout more effective. Overall, his guidance has made a noticeable difference in my progress.

I have a lot of physical issues from different injuries, Glen is very thoughtful in knowing my limitations and adjusts the workout for me as needed.

Keith is an awesome coach. He brings so much energy to everyone of his classes. He will help you surpass your expectations and has incredible ability to see potential you didn't know you had. Recommend 5/5

Cheryl‘s classes are always excellent. I enjoy her teaching style and the positive way she always interacts with the students’ on Saturday mornings. This class is my favorite because of the mix of live boxing and drills. Cheryl always fosters a positive environment for students and it’s always conducted in a safe manner. I wish Cheryl would teach more classes.

Jen is a great motivator and instructor! Her attention to proper form is so helpful and greatly appreciated.

Dr. Glen is a great coach, especially in those early morning classes when it’s tough to get going. He has a kind and supportive approach that immediately puts you at ease, but he also knows exactly when you need that push.

Great class. Coach Glen had a great plan that targeted every major muscle group, combining strength, cardio, and mobility exercises into one seamless full-body workout. Throughout the class at Blue Titan Fitness & Self-Defense, Rockaway CrossFit, Glen checked our form closely, offering adjustments and encouragement that kept me motivated and confident in each exercise. The pace was steady but energizing, and I left feeling strong and accomplished. Highly recommend Blue Titan and this class for anyone looking for a well-rounded, effective workout.

Jose is a passionate and talented teacher who enjoys the art of Krav Maga. His class is efficient, well structured and very much hands on. Whatever level you are on, you will be challenged to improve yourself. I am very grateful for what you do.

I really enjoyed the class. Cheryl was very clear with instructions and cheerful to finish the routine

Awesome Pre-Christmas workout :)

This gym helps me become better than I was yesterday. I always look forward to joining Coach Jen’s classes because I know I won’t be judged for low-energy days due to my health condition or my on-and-off attendance. She is incredibly kind and understanding, and she truly respects my goal of building strength slowly and steadily. That support is what gets me out of bed, and I leave each of her classes feeling happy—knowing I did better by showing up than by staying home and skipping class.

Coach OB's classes are always the best. His level of instruction makes me feel confident in my movements and allows me to improve on a weekly basis. OB is always open to help and show us different ways of doing certain things to allow the workout to still get done correctly and effectively. His classes are a blast and I feel stronger everyday!

Coach Keith was extremely helpful today. Since it was my first day in his class, I really appreciated how patient and supportive he was.

Glen is wonderful ! He’s patient and very encouraging to the students .

Coach Jen's new ab class is fantastic! If you're looking to build solid abs or get a 6 pack this is the class. My abs are so much stronger which is helping me in my strength movements and I'm learning how to brace better for lifting. Jen's knowledge and commitment to helping develop stronger abs is amazing. She is able to modify or give alternative movements if you struggle or have an injury that are just as effective. I can't recommend this class enough its a great addition to all the other classes offered at Blue Titan.

Thanks again for your help in class today Keith! I appreciate your attention to detail and proper lifting throughout the bench press cycle. Your help and continuous encouragement, was key towards me getting new Personal Record!

As always class was excellent and Dr Glen was pushing all the right buttons to get the most out of the class.

Lima is a good coach, I am enjoying the time as a student with her, I am learning so much from her , very happy in her class 😀

Thanks Dr Glen for opening the door to a fantastic class. It is so great to be back at Blue Titan where you can get expert coaching and modifications that meet you exactly where you are. It is great to be back!

Coach Jen classes is always amazing. She is always making sure i give the best from me in every exercise

What’s one positive change you’ve noticed since joining Blue Titan Fitness & Self-Defense, Rockaway CrossFit? Longevity. I started CrossFit at age 64. I am 8 years in and still going. Coaches continue to help me scale my workouts so I can continue with CrossFit as I age. Always afraid I might get hurt but coaches keep me safe. Just read a study today that exercising as a Sr. Reduced chance of dementia by over 50 percent. Benefits of continuing to workout are incredible.

Dr Glen

My husband and I are doing a 12 week class for those over 50. It was challenging without being impossible. Worked on balance which is alot harder than you think. Looking forward to getting stronger over the next six weeks. Glen was patient and very informative- lots of positive reinforcement.

Lima does a great job on making sure everyone understands the task and makes changes when needed as well as keeping everyone safe during the drills.

First class in the books! I enjoyed the challenging workout, as well as, the support from the other members and Coach Becca. When I felt like stopping their motivating words made me keep pushing !

Coach Lima is great at what she does. My favorite aspect of her classes is her emphasis on creating the most realistic scenario possible in a training environment. I always feel like I am taking a lot away from classes that she teaches (hopefully I never need to actually find out though)

I have a learnt a cool technique to get toes to ca

What was the highlight of today's workout? It was difficult from start to finish, with a mix of intense cardio bursts and heavy lifts that really tested my limits. I’m very happy I finished the workout because it pushed me in a way that felt rewarding, not just exhausting. The coach at Blue Titan Fitness & Self-Defense, Rockaway CrossFit was right there, adjusting my form and encouraging me to keep going when I thought I couldn’t. The atmosphere in the gym kept me focused, surrounded by others who were all working hard, which made the challenge feel worthwhile. Walking out, I felt proud and energized, already looking forward to the next session.

I really appreciate the strict adherence to form. Most coaches wouldn’t constantly drill proper form but his concern for the health of his students is admirable.

I truly appreciate Coach Keith's direct and honest feedback. He is a constant motivator that pushes me to be consistent and hard working.

I missed the gym so much and so much has changed but blue titan has truly become a one of a kind atmosphere for everyone. Everyone at blue titan is amazing and have supported me all the way through my military journey.

I think Coach Jen's one of the better, if not best coach ,at BT. She knows how to balance pushing individuals but also recognizing where/when/how to scale, etc... I'm sure she sometimes might feel apprehensive about having to always remind people on form, etc.. but she should def keep it up !

Coach Anthony is the best coach, he is so disciplined and he pushes you to do your best . He explains everything and keeps you motivated and safe .

Jen you are truly the meaning of an amazing coach! You make me love the pain lol Thank you for all that you do :)

I love that coach Keith is aware of our performance. The constant correction of proper lifting is soo appreciated and needed. Thank you ‼️ 🤗💜

Coach Ken is very thorough in his instructions and makes sure to observe and correct as needed. His classes are challenging, but fun.

Today was my first CrossFit class ever. Jen was very helpful and supportive. She gave alternate options for the moves and made sure I was comfortable with the form for each exercise. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Thanks for a great class!

I have been away for a while and came back and class was amazing! Explained everything took his time to make sure technique was correct before adding weight. He provided a positive experience

Today’s class was great! Coach Jen did a great job explaining the WOD, and motivating the class through the entire workout!!

This was my first time at a CrossFit gym and I’m in love. I was new to what Glen was working with everyone else in class, but he went out of his way to teach me the basics. I felt very welcomed and quite comfortable in the tryout class. Thank you, Blue Titan!

Keith is great! He really takes the time to point out ways to correct in a positive way. Love taking classes with Keith. He definitely keeps everybody motivated. Thank you.

Jen is wonderful. She explains exactly what we are doing, and makes sure you have proper form.

I love how Coach Keith is very encouraging and his positive energy truly helps me keep going!!! I appreciate how he looks at my form and is always ensuring to correct any issues I have. I also appreciate how he gives me tips on what stretches I need to do to improve my form.

A pleasure as always. Maybe yell at Ma and Keith a little more:-)

Coach Jen is amazing! Always focused on each titan making sure the exercises are performed correctly and safely. She also motivates and makes sure we don’t give up! Today’s class was great!

Great Krav Maga session. Dr. Glenn explains each technique in detail. Excellent communicator. He’s able to provide a safe atmosphere to learn effective self defense. Each class is a great workout where you’re learning a life skill that hopefully you’ll never have to use. Highly recommended!

This was one of my favorite classes. Really loved learning handstands and all the variations. I have a good feeling I’ll be hand stand walking in no time.

Great energy and very clear with movements. I really enjoyed my first class here. Can’t wait for the next workout.

This review is for Cheryl Katz. For some reason her name was not listed in the drop down option above. Cheryl is an amazing instructor. She takes her teaching seriously. She knows the skills well, very attentive, and always makes sure to provide a constructive feedback. I really like a lot thar Cheryl always teaches the context under which each skill would be useful. I also like that Cheryl is creative in how she teaches, like today when she wanted to show to us how people usually attack with a stick, she filmed us so we can see it clearly and with that she catered our defense class accordingly. Besides being a top notch instructor, Cheryl is a great person with positive aura. I always come out of her class with more skills and feelings happy.

It was a great class, Glen is amazing! The energy and real world techniques are great!

Exactly what I was looking for. I made the right decision joining

Great class as usual. Sunday kettlebells with Jen is the best.

Glen was amazing today! The class was a perfect mix of education, technique, and cardio. Thanks for making getting back into Krav easy and fun.

Keith makes sure you push yourself to the max without causing injury. His sessions are always very enjoyable!

His energy is always explosive and fun. Today was a big class and he took the time to go around and correct everyone posture. He is amazing.

OB was awesome

Coach Ken was really knowledgeable and explained things very well. I really learned a lot my first class!

Jen was encouraging and provided feedback on what I did well and what I can continue to do master the specific routine. It was very much appreciated.

Thanks to Keith I have better form and am more confident in the loads I can lift 💪😊

Cheryl coahed. Was a great class. Very thoughtful build working on basics that were later applied in advanced techniques. Very string attention to detail and very clear instructions with corrections along the way. Great class!

Today was awesome. It felt great getting back in to CrossFit and I appreciated the positive energy.

Loved the class. My endurance is up, I’m learning new things, and challenging my mental and physical strength! The classes have a friendly atmosphere while also having a sense of friendly competition to keep you motivated and moving.

I’m new to class and Jen (and the whole class) made me feel welcome and comfortable to modify and ask questions as needed. The support is perfectly balanced with Coach Jen’s encouragement and expectation to push myself!

Coach Jen has strengths of leader, teacher, mentor & approachable. She is always finding better ways to teach us moves. she breaks them down into digestible bites for people like me that have tough time using my brain when I workout- this is helpful. I always look forward to workouts from Coach Jen.

This was my first official cross fit class, Jen is an amazing coach, she guided me and provided good tips and positive words throughout the workout. definitely will be coming back!

Keith is one awesome coach! Highly energetic with a wealth of knowledge- always a recipe for success !!

Excellent coach Mr Anthony

Today was my first time back at CrossFit for the first time in eight years. Coach Keith had a lot of patience, but also made sure he pushed me out of my comfort zone!

It was my first class back after 8 months. I’ve been dreading coming because I knew all the progress I made would be lost and I’d be staring at square one again. But from the moment I walked in and back to class, Keith welcomed me, modified exercises, encouraged me and expected my best. Can’t wait to come back again. Thank you!

Keith is my fav coach. He knows to push, but is also balanced when he can tell im struggling. Todays workout was perfect for my first transition class from privates and he is skilled at balancing between supportive and pushing me.

Really good! it was my first class so I wasn’t sure of what to do at some times but i felt really good with the workout and the coach was great he guided me through what to do and how to do it right

Anthony was great! All the coaches are amazing!!!

Dropped in today and was coached by Theresa and she did a great Job! She kept the energy up and everyone focused on the workout! Glen and his team have a great box and I look forward to going back!

Brian is an amazing coach. Staying true to his day job, Brian is amazing at teaching difficult skills by breaking them down into understandable components. He will go the extra mile to teach you a skill and be as happy as you (if not more) when you land it. One time Brian took a video of me attempting a Kip handstand push-up just so that I could see myself and apply his pointers. After that I was able to nail the skill! Also, he just has a wonderful aura that makes everyone feel included and comfortable. 11/10 for coach Brian 🫡

Great class!

Keith made it a fun class and beginner friendly - thanks Keith!

He did great. He’s honest and very supportive to keep you safe while pushing yourself.

Shane was great as always

Absolutely loved class! I really think this is the workout I’ve been looking for. Not only did it absolutely kick my butt, but it’s reminding me of how strong I want to be again and how to get there. Can’t wait to get stronger!

Great class after coming back after a few weeks away. Easy to modify the work out for my needs but still pushing myself to get the best workout w out hurting myself. I liked being outside in the beautiful weather tonight.

Tahir is awesome! His genuine enthusiasm inspired and motivate me to continue to grow. With caring nature and patience, Tahir creates a supportive environment in my learning, especially he helps me more comfortable in sparring! Thanks Tahir!

I love Jen as a coach she makes you feel comfortable and I know I can talk to her if I have any questions. She plays good music

One of the better workouts - well rounded with cardio and included all muscle groups. Good variety and motivation to hit target rounds.

I love him. 😁

The class was great. Keith is always a great motivator and makes sure people are engaged and getting the most out of the workout. It was my first time back in a long time and it felt great to be back in the gym.

I love Keith and i only like to go class when keith is teaching and i am glad he pushes us because i would totally give up and sit down when i’m too tired if it weren’t for keith pushing me, oh and also what about offering a free protein shake for those who complete the Rx just a thought for a little extra motivation?

Keith pushes me like no other—he’s truly the best coach! I love attending his classes because I know I’ll be challenged every time. He not only pushes me to improve but also ensures my form is always on point. Highly recommend!

Great class today! My first kettlebell class, and Jen was super helpful and encouraging. Great atmosphere!! Thank you!

2nd sparring session. Today with Coach Cheryl. Very well run class, good people, nice environment (even when people are punching and kicking you 😉), but it is something that I want to stick with. My body doesn't believe that class is only 30 mins!

Fantastic!! Keith makes class fun and does a great job pushing us to do better!

Keith did great today! I enjoy being challenged. It helps to build confidence and results.

Lima was awesome! Sorry she wasn't available as an option from the coach drop-down

Coach Dylan is not in the drop down, but he coached the 9am class today. I always love Dylan's classes because he's fun but also gets us to work hard. A great balance!

Great class. Nothing better than a body weight chipper to make you feel the burn!!!!

Fun times

Coach Don was great, lots of work covered this evening. I attended 2 classes. Ground fighting and the multiple attacker Black Belt prep class. (The drop down box didn't have Don listed for this review)
