From the reviews
I did the newbie kickboxing class! It was awesome, best workout I’ve had in a long time. After the class the instructor Thomas Hager helped me stretch out more than just my legs... if you know what I mean. He has the hands of an angel! Ask for the lotion rub, happy endings are $800. Totally worth it.
CKO is a fantastic place. I wasn't sure if I was in the right place for the workout I was looking for. But it turned out that I was. The instructors held classes that allowed students to get acclimated to the more strenuous workouts. But you are also allowed to modify the workouts to your needs.
This review is long overdue—I joined CKO because I’m getting married and wanted to drop a few lbs. I’m a shy person when it comes to working out but from the very beginning, owners Tom, Alyssa and staff- Jill, Gabby, Mike, etc.
Absolutely enjoy this gym and their instructors are always so motivating, although I can say the upkeep of the gym isn’t the same it used to be. I never see the instructors cleaning the floors like they used to after each class and because of that there’s dust and dirt everywhere which isn’t fun when you are putting…
New to kickboxing? Start at CKO Kickboxing Wall
CKO Kickboxing Wall 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 Wall
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.
