From the reviews
Literally cannot say enough great things about CKO Allendale and all of the incredible trainers there. Fara & her trainers all offer unique routines, no class is ever the same twice, and they are always fun AND challenging. You cannot leave a class without breaking a full sweat and feeling completely accomplished.
I have been working out at CKO Allendale for two years and I enjoy every class. All the trainers are great, and I especially appreciate the exceptional trainers Saba and Marvin who are fully invested in ensuring an intense and varied full body workout. I feel that CKO kickboxing is a perfect fit for me.
I’ve been a member at CKO for 3 years now, and I cannot recommend it enough. The workouts are very intense but deliver the best results. The community and other members are all so motivating and supportive.
My time at CKO Kickboxing in Allendale has been exceptional, largely due to the dedication of owner Fara and trainers Marvin, Nicole, and Katy, etc. Their commitment to everyone's progress and safety has been outstanding, offering personalized guidance and encouragement in every session.
New to kickboxing? Start at CKO Kickboxing Allendale
CKO Kickboxing Allendale comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at CKO Kickboxing Allendale
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
