Amazing workout and even more amazing people! ive been going for about 3 years and it has been one of the best decisions ive ever made!!
CKO is so much more than just a gym - it provides such a motivating, encouraging, and judgement-free environment for newcomers & members no matter the skill level. The trainers all do an amazing job keeping the full body workouts fresh and truly push you to challenge yourself!
To be clear, this is NOT a Kickboxing class. This is just a HIT class that happens to include a punching bag. Donβt expect to learn kickboxing, or be instructed on boxing techniques etc. itβs literally just a High intensity cardio workout class like any others offered at most workout facilities. I was expecting actual kickboxing lessons, not loud rap music and random cardio.
Ive never done kickboxing before in my life but CKO made it super easy and fun to get into. The staff is extremely nice and helpful and I felt welcomed the second I walked in! Ive been taking classes for about a month now and enjoy it more and more each time. Nick is an energetic and fun instructor. His classes are a blast to take! While Ive never had any other instructor, if theyre even half as good as Nick then youre without a doubt in good hands. If this is something youve been wanting to try for the first time, CKO is the place to go!
Shelby is an amazing owner with a high energy studio. Would recommend to anyone who wants a good and judge free workout.
Love love love CKO Kickboxing. The staff is super friendly, the instructors are AWESOME, and the playlists are always top notch. If youre looking for a place with a family feel and killer workouts every single time, CKO GR is the place for you!
CKO is amazing! A great kickboxing gym to meet you where you are. Experienced or new, they have you covered. Staff/instructors are knowledgeable, wonderful people and the members help create a sense of community. Its fun to see friends at class!The hardest part is getting there... then its hard to stay away!!!
Ckogr8 is so amazingπͺπͺI have never been so toned in my lifeπ€©
I have been a member of the CKO kickboxing gym for a little over a month and have loved it! Every class provides a workout that you can tailor to your own skill level. Plus, the coaches all love their jobs and make working out fun π€©
Intense workouts, fast results, fair prices. I plan to re-up my membership soon. Definitely recommend CKO.
They are very nice and welcoming. They also know how to make you sweat like its their business. Very glad I found this place!
If youre looking for a gym and classes that offer you a total variety. This is the place! Every instructor is a little bit different. There are so many different class times and two locations. Its truly a total body workout. With body weight training, high intensity intervals, and you get to hit things to relieve stress. Ive been a member since they opened, going on four years now. And its still challenges me every single time!
Awesome place to get your high intensity interval work out in along with strength and cardio. All the instructors are awesome and show they care about each and every member that steps into class regardless if its your first class or you have been coming for years. I highly recommend!
I love CKO! The instructors, members and the classes are amazing, super-fun and a total butt-kick! CKO is my therapy! Thanks for providing a clean, safe and FUN environment CKO! XXOO
CKO is an amazing kickboxing workout with incredible trainers who genuinely care! The community of members are also so welcoming and challenge you to do your best ever class!! Absolutely love this place!!
Great place to workout shelby Reno is extremely knowledgeable and keeps a great atmosphere. I love it!
I worked with Chad on pad-training, pus strength training. He taught strike concepts I could easily understand and apply while hitting the bag in class. My kickboxing workout advanced and my body shows those results!
Great trainors who keep you motivated! Great health and safety policies to make you feel comfortable during this pandemic!
I absolutely love CKO! Every workout is fresh, motivating and each instructor puts a slightly different spin on the class. I have been attending for over two years and I canβt imagine going anywhere else. The instructors are the best, the members encourage each other and the atmosphere is always welcoming. If youβre considering starting a new workout routine and want to see almost immediate results, I strongly recommend you give CKO a shot. You canβt go wrong with a free trial class!
The classes are fun and challenging! Staff is awesome. ππ₯
If youβre looking for a fun way to break a sweat, this is the place to go!
Ive been a member since December 2017 and this is easily my all-time favorite place to workout and the only place Ive been able to consistently stick with. Each instructor brings their own unique twist to the classes (plus killer playlists) so Im always being challenged, and Ive never been in better shape. I always look forward to going to class! Plus, even though they are closed during COVID quarantine, they are still posting video workouts that have been just as challenging and fun. I absolutely love CKO.
I am new to kickboxing in the past few months. The instructors have been wonderful to work with and are so helpful. The workouts are varied and each instructor adds their own flair. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try something new!
Ive been attending CKO for over a year, and I cannot express how much I love this place. The full-body workout is challenging and exciting. I feel empowered after each and every class!
I really enjoy working out here! Every workout is challenging and unique. The trainers push you while encouraging to modify the workouts to match your ability. The other clients are friendly no one is made to feel like an outsider. Everyone is made to feel welcome regardless of where you are in your fitness journey.
There are many reasons why I give 5 stars to CKO. The first being the amazing workout you get in each class. My endurance and strength has increased substantially over the last year and I have been able to excel at other sports due to my CKO classes. I also like that I have not peaked. The classes are arranged so can continue to push yourself each time you attend. Another reason would be each individual that works at CKO (trainers and those behind the counter). Due to their dedication and demeanor I always feel welcome when I attend a class. The facility is always clean. Communication to members is excellent. I truly enjoy the app used to sign up for classes and knowing I never need worry if a bag will be available. I literally have only good things to say about CKO. No matter your level of experience or your current level of physical activity, there is a place for you at CKO.
Kickboxing is an efficient use of an hour at the gym. Full body workout, with an element of stress relief. I took a couple pad training courses with Chad to learn how to kick and throw properly, I HIGHLY recommend doing that. I paid in full for the year, which averages out to less than a YMCA membership. Yes it is only a class vs the whole place, but if youre like me, youll just end up in the sauna. Kickboxing has shown immediate results for me, I love it!
Absolutely love working out here! Classes are fun and motivating! Whether you do the 45 minute class or 1 hour class, you are getting the most efficient workout in (better calorie burn in less time than going to the gym by yourself). Instructors also go around and help with technique, so no worries if you are not familiar with kick boxing.
CKO is SO great! The instructors are extremely energetic, knowledgeable, and take the time to really get to know you. The classes are amazing and always give you a full body workout, but each one is different so I never feel like Iβm doing the same thing over and over again! Highly recommend!
LOVE CKO!! Honestly the most FUN iβve ever had working out!!
I began kickboxing with CKO regularly around October 2019. This was my first experience with the sport and I became addicted to the highly intense and varied workout structure. Not only is CKOs staff friendly, they know your name after going a few times (which cant be easy with the amount of people that go) and even challenge you during workouts!After a few months of going here 3 to 4 times a week I noticed changes in my cardio, balance, form, and even a few changes to my body when looking in the mirror. I would recommend signing up to anyone; you will be happier after every workout!
Ive been taking classes here since January of 2018. CKO has a wide variety of instructors that are all focused on creating a positive environment that pushes you as much as you want without creating a judgemental atmosphere. CKO is great for three reasons. 1) Loud/energetic music 2) Get to beat the hell out of a bag 3) Instructors encourage you to go as hard as you can. I also like that with a monthly membership I can engage in this behavior as many times per week as I want.
I love CKO. Each class a such a positive experience--the instructors are great, and the workouts are challenging and leave me sweating buckets! It is great to be able to look forward to a workout so much. Also, I really appreciate how CKO employees treat their members--they go out of their way to get to know people on a personal level.
I have been going to CKO for a year and a half and love it! There are classes throughout the day to accommodate my schedule. I love the early morning classes the most. The instructors are great and I get an incredible workout every time I go!
The instructors are amazing! Iβve always liked working out, but I never knew how great it was to have someone really push you. Everyone is so positive, and the classes give you a great full body workout. I love CKO!!
CKO is one of the best group workout places Ive attended. From the second I walked through the door, the staff and members were welcoming and friendly. There is no judgement and all levels are accepted. The instructors do a great job of explaining how to cater the exercises to your current level of fitness. Id recommend this to anyone.
To tell you the truth, working out is typically not something I enjoy or can muster the energy to do. Well 30 hit and as we all know, hormones play a huge role in our lives. Making it harder to maintain my naturally thin figure. So I now I have to do something... Kickboxing has got me excited! I actually look forward to it, weird right ππͺπΌ it is Super fun, high energy, explosives workout! You do not have to have experience or training. The teachers are great and help you along the way. If you stick to this work out, you will start to see results at a faster pace than other workouts. It kicks your metabolism up, tones your body all while reliving stress. I would highly recommend this to anyone trying to find their way, in order to maintain a healthy body and mind βπΌοΈβ€οΈπͺπΌ
High energy workouts, upbeat music and instructors, extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Do not be afraid to join at any fitness level and tailor it to be your own workout. It can be intimidating at first but you can go at and build upon your own pace.
Love the atmosphere. I am new to this and learning. I feel accepted there for being a newbie. The instructors are amazing. I feel empowered by the end of my work out.
CKO is an amazing place filled with amazing people. There are many classes throughout the day to accommodate to everybodyβs schedule. If you find yourself in a slump and donβt know where to start when it comes to achieving your fitness goals, I recommend you start here!
I was hooked after my first class - teachers are great and provide different workout routines to keep it fresh. They also push you so you start seeing results as soon as physically possible... way better than just going to the gym.
Great and encouraging instructors and classmates, kind of a family. Instructors always mix up their workout so its different every time. Amazing full body workout!!
I have been a member of many gyms, and taken many workout classes, over the years and none of them compare to CKO. Itβs a complete body workout, instructed by highly talented trainers that bring so much energy to the room. Iβm addicted and encourage everyone to join in the fun!
Always in such good shape because of this place!!
Absolutely amazing. I was hooked 10 minutes into the first class. I now am 6 months in and stilllove every time I go. The instructors are a diverse group and everyone has their favorites. I can tell because the same βgroupsβ of people are in the same classes... morning crew, afternooners, etc.I donβt see how anyone couldnβt like this place! CKO fit fam is awesome!
I am now officially addicted to CKO Kickboxing! Their classes are at convenient times, the instructors are super-motivating, they actually know your name and the workouts are over before I know it. I would do this everyday if I could!
Great team, great instructors and a great workout. When I miss kickboxing, I MISS IT! You can go at your own pace, whether that means modifying or killing it on any given day.
CKO offers a kick a$$ workout. I love this place. Best thing Iβve done for just me in a long time! β€οΈ
We really like CKO. My wife and I previously kickboxed in and relocated to GR from Iowa β so weβve experienced other programs. This one is great. No βgymtimidationβ here β newcomers welcomed immediately. This is a solid and meaningful workout β cardio, heavy bag striking and core. I personally love the heavy bag work. Terrific instructors get the best out of you regardless of your initial condition, skill level or age - and weβre just turning 60 so we know. Great workout. Great environment. Great workout family.
Where can I begin to convey my LOVE for CKO Kickboxing Grand Rapids Downtown?! I have been a proud CKO addict since April 2016 and never looked back. I was always an active person, but nothing has really kept my interest until this!Being at CKO helps me to de-stress, especially when Iβm having a bad day or just need to get away. I have lost an entire dress size since joining CKO and whatβs more, I no longer do wimpy push-ups!! CKO is now an integral part of my life. Thank you Shelby for bringing CKO to Grand Rapids and all the wonderful trainers there who push us to our limit and help us to achieve our fitness goals! Itβs one of the BEST gyms out there for a great, sweaty, full body workout. My cardio, endurance and strength have increased drastically over the past years. I can attend classes every day of the week and one of the instructors would still give you a killer workout that result in sore muscles the next couple of days. I also love the CKO app, endless awesome soundtracks and all the holiday special 75 CRUSHER classes!Xi xxxxx
CKO is amazing, the workouts are tough but the instructors keep you motivated so you can push through., and the staff our always so friendly and always greets me when walk in :)
Great gym! Awesome atmosphere! Super owners and trainers!Cheers:)))
A great way to mix up your cardio routine, work on different planes of motion, and gain endurance as well as confidence. One of the most well-organized studios in Grand Rapids!
Great workout and a lot of fun!
Ive always wanted to try kickboxing and I thought Id give CKO a shot. This place is awesome! If youre wanting to listen to awesome music, workout in a group setting, listen to uplifting instructors, get a kickass HIIT workout, and ultimately feel like a badass, this is the place for you!
I started CKOGR almost 2 years ago and it has been a great full body workout. Strength, flexibility and cardio in one class.
Wonderful team of individuals available to help and train! Great environment for an incredible workout!
Kickboxing is cardio, strength, core and endurance all wrapped in one. Group classes arent usually my thing. The thing I love most about CKO is that you get the energy of a large group and the instructor, but you get to be in your own zone with the bag in front of you. I prefer the 45-minute KBX classes, which are high-intensity cardio workouts with plenty of upper and lower body bag work. The variety of class times and instructors means I can change it up whenever things start feeling a little stale. Wish I had discovered kickboxing earlier in life.
What an amazing, fun, mind-body workout and environment suitable for practically alll fitness levels.
This is a great place to workout. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming!
The BEST kickboxing studio ever!!! You never fill judged and the instructors and receptionist are very welcoming!!
I had the misfortune of meeting the owners of this place outside of their business. After seeing how they treat their neighbors and potential clients with disrespect, I will not give this business my patronage, and I recommend others find different places to pursue their fitness goals
Awesome, personable instructors, great atmosphere and killer workout! Highly recommend.
Great workout with great music! Stop in for a free trial class!
Great experience!!!
Amazing instructors and classes!! Highly suggested!
Kicking my ass into shape!
Great workout!
