Fitness Background: I have done CKO since 2012. I started as a member and havent turned back. I used to play softball, and do track and field.

Why I CKO: CKO is my happy place. Every workout is different from the last. Each instructor has their own style from music, to warm-ups, to how they count down an attack round. Each workout is intense and fun, and you definitely get the most out of the hour you spend here. The workout is as challenging as you want it to be, and its so great to feed off the energy of the people around you. I have been to plenty of other gyms and will forever come to CKO as no other place can compare!

1 Word to describe your instructing style: energetic

Fun Fact(s): I have 2 kids, 2 dogs and a husband. I speak fluent Italian, and have been to Italy 7 times. When I was younger my claim to fame was being an extra in the movie K-Pax.

FAQS

Each class is 1-hour in length and offers a total body workout. You will sweat, de-stress and enjoy exercising more than ever.

Since you will be punching a heavy bag, you will need to protect your hands with boxing/MMA gloves. Feel free to bring your own or we have a variety of gloves available for purchase at the gym. Wear loose fitting, comfortable gym clothes. We guarantee you’re going to sweat. Therefore, shorts will probably be a good option. You will not be permitted to participate in a class unless you are wearing clean sneakers/tennis shoes or socks. Please bring a towel and you will definitely need water or some type of sports drink. These are also available for purchase at the gym.

Do I have to wait for a specific start date?

Once you become a member, you can begin taking classes immediately.

Do I have to have previous kickboxing experience?

The majority of our members have never taken a kickboxing class prior to coming to CKO. However, they get addicted to the workout quickly.
