CKO Kickboxing

I had signed up for the Groupon because I've always wanted to try kickboxing. One of the best decisions I've ever made. It's one of the only times I haven't dreaded going to a workout. The owners are very personable and will give you a quick demo about the moves.

Believe me when I say, bring a towel. The sweat will be dripping to the floor. And you'll love every second. If you sign up for the Groupon, you'll get a pair of boxing gloves.

It's a really great way to get out your aggression. The classes on Saturday get very packed so be aware of that. Depending on how often you plan to go, you may want a monthly membership. If not, you can buy a set of classes, which is what I did.

If you want to rid yourself of stress, come here. This class is definitely what you make of it. There are a variety of instructors who have different styles of running the class. They mainly have classes in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. They also offer personal training for an extra fee.

Definitely wear wraps and buy a good pair of gloves. I was kinda nervous in the beginning with punching and kicking the bag but as you go more often, you become more comfortable with your technique and rhythm.

A great one hour workout that really trains your cardiovascular system!

I worked out in the Paramus location about 4 years ago when I lived in Jersey briefly. I now have a jobsite down the road and will be visiting every few months-so of course I bought a 10 class package so I can get my work out in while traveling.

There are so many positives about this place/workout I don't even know where to begin! The classes are not for the faint of heart-if you work out hard (like you should) you will sweat and you will be tired after class but have a renewed energy from the calories you just burned.

This class will tone you up within 2 weeks if you give it your effort 3-4 days a week. There is always music playing, the vibe is friendly and fun. Surprisingly the mats and bags are clean-after each class you are responsible for wiping your area down. Being OCD I always clean the bag before class begins again...I am a little odd like that.

The pace is quick so you need to be able to keep up, They mix cardio with punching, kicking, slapping, sit ups, push ups and plyos. It's intense and I become addicted. Wish they would make their way to KS/MO.
They offer private work outs as well-I never took them up on this option but I bet you would see awesome results.

Many gyms/work outs can seem intimidating but this one welcomes you with open arms. definitely worth looking into if you are into a new type of fitness routine.

The classes are too loud that I could barely understand the instructor! They are a coach who never wears gloves!! You are at a kickboxing class and not everyone is familiar with the moves, they mostly stay with free moves which means do whatever!! ... i have been doing kickboxing for years now and I believe this facility is not worth the membership.

I signed up back in the spring for a free trial class recommended by my sister's friend. All you have to do is sign up for one of their classes; I chose a 9 AM class with Cesar. If you don't have a pair of gloves they'll provide you a pair for $15. They're just basic gloves with the CKO logo on it. They do ask you to come a 25-20 mins prior to the class starting so the instructor can show you the basic moves.
Cesar is my favorite instructor by far, but it sucks since I work 9-5 and I'm stuck going to the evening classes that are SUPER packed, but it's fine. I've taken classes with Charles (one of the owners) Roy, Kathlyn, Rachel, Matt and Paul, whom are all good but have different methods.
After taking 2-3 classes a week, I can see an improvement with my stamina, core muscle strength, arm strength and leg strength. You can really lose a lot of weight. I've lost about 10-15 lbs since the spring, but mind you this is a cardio based workout and I do still go to a regular gym for weight lifting. I say try it out, there's no harm in that and there's no pressure at all; you go at your pace and eventually challenge yourself!

My fiancee and I have been members here for a couple years now and this place is like a second home. Outside the positives of the workout in general the impressive aspected about this location is that every instructor care about how your form is and to make sure you are doing things correctly.

They will push you forward even when you don't think you have anymore to give. Every instructor has their unique style and there is never the same workout.........ever. Its always different.

The gym is clean and the recent upgrade makes it look even better. They offer plenty of times that accomodate my ever changing daily work schedule.

I am in love with this place! The members, the staff and the atmosphere are absolutely electric. Never had so much fun sweating so much and working so hard. Highly recommended!

My friend and I bought a Groupon of monthly unlimited classes for this place. We had no idea what to expect - and they blew our experience out of the water! Our very first class was with Mike and he was so nice! He showed us all of the basics (roundhouse kick, hook, jab, cross, etc.) so you know what to do when the instructor is shouting it. One day I forgot my gloves and they kindly gave me a pair to borrow for the class - without me even asking! They are truly nice, kind, and warm-heating people. Kickboxing with soul ;-).

After the first trial class, I knew I was going to join. Their trainers are awesome. They push you to go further than you thought you could go. But they're so friendly that people on all levels feel welcomed. Throughout the whole class they keep you motivated so that you can finish strong.

The gym is very clean. They have plenty of heavy bags and as more members join, they add more classes so they're never too crowded. I've been going for over 8 months now and love the way it has increased my stamina and strength. If you're into fitness, this can be a fun way to burn calories!

If you want a really great total body workout, this is the place to be! There are a number of instructors each with their own style of teaching, but you won't be disappointed know matter who you get. The owners are great, they will help you anytime, they will give you ways to make your workout more challenging if you want to push yourself. They will also give you options if you are unable to do certain exercises/moves. The whole staff is friendly and helpful! Great way to reduce stress, shed the pounds and the inches!!
