From the reviews
I have been attending classes at this CKO for almost a year and a half now and can conclusively say this kickboxing gym is very special! The owner Jen is one of a kind, she is very professional, motivating, funny and exciting to work out with!
I’ve been at CKO Franklin Square for the last 5 months and it has been a WONDERFUL experience to say the least. The owner Jen is really sweet and definitely holds you accountable for not showing up or not showing on time :) All the instructors and really lovely and very accommodating based on your level of experience.
CKO @ Franklin Square has allowed me to create some of the best meaningful friendships! You enter the gym and can feel the love, positive energy, and genuine care for all.
CKO Kickboxing in Franklin Square is an absolute gem! The workouts are intense and incredibly effective, pushing you to achieve your best fitness levels. What sets this place apart, though, is how welcoming it is for first-timers.
New to kickboxing? Start at CKO Kickboxing Franklin Square
CKO Kickboxing Franklin Square 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 Franklin Square
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 when you call. 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.
