From the reviews

I absolutely love CKO. I procrastinated for almost 2 years before I went. Man, I wish I had gone sooner. Being a DJ, I absolutely love the high energy music they play and how the routines flow with it. I was going to the gym for years and it just got kind of boring. Not with CKO.

★★★★★ — Michael, Apr 2015

Hands down best gym I’ve ever worked out at. Trainers motivate you to train the best you can. Fun and motivating music mixes, sometimes I don’t know if I should pause and sing and dance or hit the bag harder. If you haven’t checked this place out you’re missing out. You won’t regret it. Highly recommend .

★★★★★ — Samantha, Feb 2024

★★★★★ — Caitlyn, May 2024

CKO in great kills is my home away from home and I cannot recommend this gym enough. I have been coming here for years and the classes always have the best energy. From the beginning everyone always made me feel comfortable and supported in my fitness journey. CKO is the best!!

New to kickboxing? Start at CKO Kickboxing Great Kills

CKO Kickboxing Great Kills 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 Great Kills

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
