From the reviews
CKO is hands down the best, most fun and intense workout. I have been taking these kickboxing classes for 8 years and started at Roxbury location when they opened in october 2022; it’s a great gym with excellent trainers and a fun, upbeat atmosphere.
I love CKO of Roxbury. The owner and the instructors are welcoming and helpful. Workouts can be challenging, but the calorie burn during one workout is totally worth it. What better way to burn calories than punching and kicking a heavy bag :)
Good gym to get your kickboxing workout done. I did the morning class with an instructor named Jacob.
Great workouts!!! Courteous and professional staff!!! Great people!! Highly recommend this CKO.
New to kickboxing? Start at CKO Kickboxing Roxbury
CKO Kickboxing Roxbury 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 Roxbury
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.
