I was visiting family for the weekend and got a pass for a few days and let me tell you...this gym is DOPE!!! A bodybuilder's dream with a great atmosphere! Everyone who works there is so friendly and made me feel right at home. Teresa is AMAZING! She even offered to help me with posing after my workout! And, I set up a session with her the next day. This will be my gym every time I'm in town. I highly recommend!

RARE BREED Fitness "A Breed apart" From the moment I walked in the gym the vibe was positive! Old school feel and Harcore training is inside. The owmers built a high quality establishment and the clientel is serious. However it is welcoming and High tech for the beginer to Professional. State of the Art Nutrition and kind support from the amazing staff and a clean safe atmosphere. Try it once amd you will be a member....and yes they are a "Breed apart"

After settling for a less than ideal gym for a the last few years, my family and I were thrilled to do our first walk through at rare breed. We were given free passes to work out with no pressure to join.
When we did try the gym for a workout, we found the gym was exceptionally clean. All machines had pins and clips (our previous gym always had missing) everyone exercising worked in on equipment respectfully and all weights were racked by members after using equipment. These all seem minor I guess, but that’s a culture and courtesy you really don’t see everywhere. Theresa answered all my questions and Mike immediately introduced himself to us. It was a welcoming place that we will absolutely be joining.

I recently attended a deadlift seminar at Rare Breed given by Coach Kendra. I’ve been working out on my own after years of taking boot camp classes. I was a little self conscious about deadlifting and other types of exercises on my own in a mostly male gym setting, so I went for some guidance. I’m so glad I met Kendra. Not only is she a professional who really knows her stuff, she is patient, kind, and extremely motivating. There are some people you meet who just make you feel comfortable from the get-go & Kendra is one of them. In addition to occasional seminars, she also does classes and personal training. I’ve already booked my first session with her and I’m excited to reach my goals with her help. Thank you Kendra! 🫶🏻 Denise

I bought a package for the semi-private training with Kat. I love it. It’s like a hybrid between personal training and small group class. It’s perfect. Not to mention I drive 30 minutes from one side of Staten island to the other side for this class! Kat if you’re reading this… thank you🫶

This is a great gym with great people. I will say even though the classes are great for those looking for guidance etc,it can be a bit of an overkill when it's almost everyday, morning and afternoon. There's been a handful of times it has gotten in the way of my workout , especially during leg day. I can't wait for the top floor to open up to see how this will help all members because paying $60-$70 a month for a membership and be told by a coach that a class is starting (basically telling me I need to move) is pretty insulting. I've had to cut my gym sessions short a few times. I think the classes are great, but I think it needs it's own space. Rather than that, love that it's clean and the people are there to work out. Some of the cables need some tlc due to overuse,but they have great equipment selections. I've seen great improvements since I've started and the owner is a great guy. I think he really put his heart into this place. This is a great bodybuilding gym and their success really shows. Alot of positivity in there. I know it's only going to get better! They are very open-minded to suggestions as well.

I have seen a tremendous improvement in my body with their classes and techniques. Their coaches truly care about their clients, constantly fixing posture and pushing to finish the reps. I’m so happy I found this gym.

Everyone has been so kind, thoughtful, and motivating.
I love walking in and feeling like the rest of my life is outside and what's in here is friendship, grit, and health focused work without being condescending.
Karlie, Teresa, Carl, Phyllis, and Denise have been lifesavers during a chaotic time in life.
Thanks for creating this happy place!

Rare Breed Compound is unlike any other gym on the island. The atmosphere here is unique and incredibly motivating. People at this gym take working out seriously, and the overall vibe pushes you to be better. The energy is contagious, and it’s clear that everyone is dedicated to achieving their fitness goals. If you’re looking for a place that will challenge you and keep you motivated, Rare Breed Compound is the place to be.

Smaller gym, good equipment, good environment. Has a discount for MOS, nurses. No locker rooms. They make you come in person to cancel with no other options (e.g. email, snail mail.)

Fantastic training facility. The owners are amazing and know what they are doing. They combine a ton of functional and athletic training. The environment is top-notch, the facility is always clean and everyone is there to help each other reach their respective goals. Located in the Wendy's shopping plaza. They're preparing to have a second floor with more training equipment and lockers.

Quite honestly, this is the most amazing gym I have ever been too!! I loved it!!
I just happened to see a sign for fitness as I was about to drop my car off at the mechanic. I decided to work out as my car was being worked on. I am so happy that I did!! It’s $20 for the day which they wave if you decide to join. They also run some specials which you can ask about
The equipment is absolutely top notch, the machines run so smoothly. Generally I have a shoulder issue when using machines, but since this equipment is of such a high caliber, I felt no pain. Additionally, all the equipment is really well spaced out. No overcrowding which plagues other facilities!
I love the vibe of this place! Everyone was welcoming. From the music to the lighting to the awesome colors to the motivational signs painted on the walls, and, they have a posing room! Very very cool!! This place is special:
My only wish is that it was closer to where I live on the island. I will tell you this, it is worth the trip and every penny. I’m a serious gym goer and the facility is nothing short of perfect!

I have been a member for a few months. I say that this gym was really one of the best gyms I've been ever to so far. I will miss the good times there for I moved to Rochester due to a job promotion. The phrase Never End The Rep inspired me greatly. I say my good bye & hope for the best (I am trying to cancel then membership online (the rare breed compound member website)).

I just came by for a $20 day pass to try this place out. If you're looking for a gym that's dedicated to weight training, this is the one. From the moment you walk in, you can tell that this is a place where people are serious about their fitness goals. The gym is on the smaller side, but don't let that fool you. There's no wasted space on useless machines, and all of the best equipment is available.
One of the standout features of this gym is how clean it is. You won't find any grime or dust on the equipment here. It's clear that the staff takes pride in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment.
But the real star of the show here is the equipment. This gym has everything you need to lift heavy and build muscle. And because it's a true lifting gym, you won't find any distractions or interruptions while you're working out. No TVs here, just good music. My favorite machine they have is the pendulum squat.
Another thing that sets this gym apart is the people. I came in the morning and everyone was friendly and, and it's clear that they all want to be there. Everyone respects it and each other. Everyone reracks their weights in the right spots and takes care of the equipment. It's clear that this is a gym where people take their fitness seriously.
The only downside is that it's a bit pricey at $60 per month. But if the gym stays in this great condition and we continue to have access to all of this amazing equipment and maybe more in the future, it's well worth the investment. If you're serious about lifting this is the gym for you. I plan to switch here in the near future.

I absolutely love it here! This isn’t your average gym. RB is a must if you want to transform your body. All of the equipment is top notch and some of which I’ve never seen before. The owners are not only great people but have perfected their craft and made their mark in the body building and personal training world-both personally and professionally. That speaks volumes to me. Anyone who like classes or small group training-theirs are amazing! Keep up the great work RB!❤️

Went here today on a guest pass to try it out. I have to say the gym was clean and the equipment is absolutely amazing… All Rogue machines and weights. There are drinks and food available for purchase. Protein drinks, energy drinks etc…. The women at the front desk was friendly and accommodating. Overall a very nice, clean gym with a great atmosphere for those who are serious about working out!

This gym sets itself apart from any other gym I’ve been to. The entire atmosphere is different. When you walk in you feel like you’re among people who take training seriously and to the next level. The place is very clean! The machines are great as well.
The owners are great and very helpful. This also goes for the entire staff as well.
This gym sells their Rare Breed Apparel which I want to buy but I feel like wearing it needs to be earned. I feel if you want to wear the rare breed shirt you need to become a rare breed individual. It’s a goal that I’m working towards.
I have to say I really like what this place stands for.

I really can’t say enough good things about this gym!! The equipment, the atmosphere, and the energy of the people that go to this gym just doesn’t compare to other gyms. I have been training with Mike and Tee with small group personal training before their official gym opened, and they have brought the exact same (if not better) client focused energy and care to this gym and their training sessions! This is an any level type of gym: beginner to advanced and you will feel welcomed and truly never want to leave :)
