I truly miss CKO — especially the incredible energy and motivation from Cobe! It was more than just a high-intensity workout — it was an experience that empowered both body and mind. Each class left me feeling stronger, more confident, and ready to take on anything. From learning real self-defense techniques to sweating it out to great music, CKO was a total mind-body boost.

Please bring a CKO location to Howard Beach — we need it here! The community would benefit so much from the energy, empowerment, and strength that CKO brings. There’s nothing else like it!

Unpretentious gym with top-tier trainers — some of whom actually compete themselves — and they’re all incredibly kind. They train you like you're preparing for a real fight. The result? You’re not just getting in shape; you’re learning how to move with purpose and use your body to your advantage.
Most importantly, I did it to invest in my health — everything else is an amazing bonus.
Just 3 days a week, 50-minute sessions — and not only did I shred fat and enhance my physique, but Im also developing a life-changing skill along the way.
It’s so worth it for me.

I had a great workout and was about to join. The person at the front desk kept looking past me and serving people on my right and left of me . Tried to get his attention he just simply ignored me . I guess I wasn't the right person for the gym . There loss . I will find another CKO to attend.

I've been coming here for 10 months now. Martin's positive energy is consistent and he takes the time to pay individual attention to students throughout the class. Love his motto, "Yes you can!" (It does help get through squats.)

Def recommend taking his classes!

Signed up for the 3 month membership & was charged after the three month period. When I asked to be reimbursed, I was told that they renewed my membership (without consulting me) & they refused to reimburse me. If I wanted a longer membership, I would have gotten the 6-month or 1 year option. Now I have to pay $400 towards classes I will not be attending. Not worth the money or the hassle.

I almost never write reviews but have to say that CKO Park Slope has radically changed my life for the better. I never thought I could do it, but the instructors and music just gradually make it possible to become really athletic. I started with a week trial, then got drop ins and am now a member. I'm so sad on the days that I can't get to class. But fortunately all the instructors are excellent so there are many class choices throughout the week.

I’ve been coming here for a few years now and love this place. The instructors are awesome, they’re a mix of competitive fighters, muay thai and fitness instructors, which is great because you get good sweat in while learning from pros. I’ve tried other boxing gyms and honestly nothing compares.
I also love the variety of classes they’ve introduced; cross training, padwork, muay thai, yoga etc.

I have to plug Martin’s personal training sessions! I bought 10 sessions for a very reasonable price. The 1-1s really helped with my form and got rid of bad habits I built up. If you’ve just started or want to get better, I highly recommend -- my only regret was not doing this sooner.

I love this place! I started going in 2019 before the pandemic hit and "attended" online classes during covid (which was a life saver!). And back at the gym since we could go back in person! Where have you been all my life?!?
If you like an active, sweaty and different every time work out, you'll love this place, too. The instructors are amazing, sweet and funny and always motivating. They all have different styles and the schedule is very flexible which I appreciate with my personal lifestyle. The gym is also super clean - huge plus too!

A gem of a gym! I started going here in January of 2023 when I first did the intro week. I took a break after, as, to be honest, I tend to take a fairly frugal approach to my working out (always choosing running over joining a gym, etc). I had tried other gyms over the years, and this one definitely stuck with me the most!

Fast forward a year and this place hadn’t left my mind. I joined with a year-long membership in February of this year, and haven’t once regretted my decision! I am much more fit than I was when I just stuck to running, and feel even better and stronger with each month that passes of taking these classes.

The instructors are incredibly kind and welcoming and are very dedicated to their craft and to teaching. Each instructor brings something new to their classes, so I definitely recommend taking a variety throughout the week.

I guarantee you will leave each class having had an amazing workout and feeling incredible!

The sense of community at this gym is super unique and unbeatable and I’ve never found another place like it in NYC.

The memberships are a great deal as well, since you can go as often as you’d like with an unlimited. Highly recommend checking out CKO Downtown Brooklyn- you won’t regret it!

Love this workout! All the instructors are motivating and kind while also really pushing you. I think the other gym goers are friendly and hardworking. Such a PEAK place to get a sweat in if you need a little push. FIRST TIMERS: Go!! They'll walk you through the moves in a personal tutorial and help you get set up with a bag. Really solid experience if you wanna try something new!

Like all the other negative reviews above, the 16-week challenge is a total scam. They do not openly inform you that you are actually signing up for a year of classes, not just the 16-week special - and you cannot cancel. After about 2 1/2 to 3 months, the pain (from all of the unsupervised and untrained kickboxing) in my hips, knees, and ankles was so much that I had to stop, and unless you go to a doctor and get a letter indicating that you cannot handle the intense contact sport pressure, you are forced to continue to pay for a service you no longer use. Total scam.

Benjamin was great today, teaching different combinations. I also like classes by Josh and Adriana. Friendly team and need to use the membership more. The only inconvenience is that I cannot shower and go to straight to work from there but not a deal breaker. It is good to start the day and love the 7a classes.

I have been going to CKO for years and my experience has been nothing but positive. The instructors are great - every class is different, challenging, and I always leave feeling exhausted (in a good way!). There is no judgement here.

I’ve been going to CKO for about 3 months now and love it. The staff are all great and really welcoming, and I love that the instructors take the time to focus on form. Every class is “go at your own pace" (with modifications, if necessary) which makes it possible for people of all fitness backgrounds to attend. That being said, no two workouts are the same and they don't get easier 😅, but I leave feeling stronger every time. Highly recommend!

I LOVE CKO. I’ve been going for about 6 years. Boy it was hard in the beginning but the other members and instructors were always supportive and encouraging. I made a point of actively remembering how I felt at the end of the class - triumphant, empowered and like I’d really achieved something. Over the years it’s become essential to my emotional and physical wellbeing. With the exception of one class I took with a hangover that got the better of me, I’ve NEVER regretted going.

I am a cko instructor in Jersey, so I am pretty picky when visiting places & trying out a new gym but I felt so welcome here. Not to mention, this cko location is beautiful and I’ve been to 8 different ones. I was only in the area a couple days but Adriana is an awesome owner & instructor. She really takes the time out to make sure new members feel comfortable and are striking the bag correctly. I took her and Martin’s class and both were amazing, very encouraging and friendly. Will definitely be back to work out again ! :)

I found CKO Park Slope after months of trying to find a new boxing gym post-pandemic. This gym and all the instructors welcomed me with open arms - there's a lovely sense of community here. The classes are fun and challenging, and perfect for those who crave a real kickboxing-based workout. All the instructors have been great, but I want to shout out Vinny! I've been taking his Thursday Muay Thai class and it has been so fun, and I feel myself becoming a better boxer. His enthusiasm, creative drills, and one-on-one attention make the classes go by so quickly, but I leave with an amazing full-body workout every time. Highly recommend!

I drop into to this gym every time I’m visiting from out of town but finally signed up for a membership now that I’m in the area. It’s a bit pricey for cardio kickboxing gym but there’s a good level of instruction and it’s in a great location. Vinny is the best trainer there and takes the time for focus on technique and has really positive energy. Definitely recommend this is you’re looking to get into kickboxing!

CKO is becoming like a second home to me. I started kickboxing with them in January, and I've only grown to love it more and more each class. Meg is a a spitfire and is always around to answer my questions and encourage me. She welcomed me into the community with open arms. Vinny is so great at breaking down the movements and making sure you're in proper form. All the classes I've been to have been so dynamic and challenging, while the teachers still encourage you to rest and listen to your own body throughout class. 10/10, 5 stars, I hope to be a part of this community for a long time.

I would highly recommend CKO Park Slope 🥊

SCAM, RUN AWAY. They advertise a 16 week program but unethically sign you up for a whole year, despite never informing you or providing paperwork indicating this is the case. Unethical and unacceptable.

Edit: the program details offered by staff on site are exactly as advertised - a 16 week commitment. They even apologized and acted surprised in person and said they have heard of third party billing issues from many clients. As indicated on another review, you state you hired a company to advertise for you, and that advertisement was FALSE. Take your issues up with them and your error in contracting them, not with the people that wanted to participate in the program.

DO NOT SIGN UP for the 16 Week Challenge! It is a scam! I wish I saw these reviews before I signed up. The contract that comes to your email after signs up basically says 'we're locking you in for life'. In order to cancel, among many other things...you have to send a certified mail to someone's private family home at 412 Woodlaw Ave, NJ, 08108 with information from the classes you attended (as if they aren't supposed to already have that record). Imagine in 2023, after a pandemic you must leave your home to cancel the gym. If for some reason you have to stop for medical reasons, they require more information than your job! They want medical letters from your doctor, and/or proof of travel. It's ridiculous! I have to now beg for my own money for a service that I am not and cannot use.

I used to be a KB instructor and I'm kinda horrified after my first class here. They have so many bags packed in there that there is no space for kicking and I saw so many students hitting their bags in ways that will straight up break their wrists and the instructor didn't help any of them. Mind blown. I walked out early and will not be back.

Don’t walk RUN away from this place. Their 16-week challenge is a complete scam. They will lock you in a contract that you can pretty much never leave. READ THE FINE PRINT FIRST. Forgot about their 3-day cancellation policy, it doesn’t exist.

I canceled within their 3-day cancellation policy. It’s been 4 months and they are still charging me.

I called them multiple time they DO NOT ANSWER the phone.

The one time I did get them they told me to send an email requesting a cancellation. At that point I have already sent 3 emails regarding my cancellation and not a single email was responded to.

Do not go here! Just run away!

Each trainer brings some individuality, for example, I love the way Martin really wants you to improve your skills and Kelly won’t let you stop until the class is over! No matter who the trainer is you get a great workout EVERY time. The gym is immaculately clean and there is a really friendly atmosphere amongst its members.

I’ve been a member of CKO Park Slope since they opened up in 2014. Before coming to this location, I was a member of the CKO in Williamsburg. That was quite a journey for me so when this location opened up I was overjoyed. I remember going into CKO Park Slope the first day thinking I could just take a class since it was also a CKO. Kristine explained to me that this one has a different owner and helped me with the crossover. I’m saying all this to say that Kris, Adriana, and Kelly are super, super understanding. When you join CKO Park Slope, you’re joining a family ☺️

Just had a great open class workout at CKO. I can't write enough reviews about how wonderful this place is. I've been so impressed with how consistent and thorough they have been with their COVID safety precautions. Temperature checks, contact training, 6' spacing between bags, hand sanitizer, AND they steam clean the gym after each open class period. If you are looking for a fantastic workout in a safe environment, get yourself down to CKO Park Slope!

CKO Parkslope is the absolute best!! I started about a year ago and I feel like I’ve grown so much not only in my kickboxing skills but confidence as well. My favorite part about the gym is definitely all the instructors. They are all super professional and helpful. If I need help on a combination or technique, they are ALWAYS there to assist. I also appreciate how safe I feel at CKO Parkslope. The staff really puts in a huge effort to keep the gym clean and everyone wears masks during the workout and is six feet apart. I’m bringing a good friend in this weekend to try it out because she’s been looking to get into kickboxing but feels intimidated to try on her own. Luckily CKO Parkslope’s friendly atmosphere and at your own pace workouts is the perfect place for anyone wanting to try kickboxing. 10/10 recommend!!!! 🎉

Felt very safe at CKO boxing! They have blocked punching bags from use to allow for social distancing. It is sanitized often and you can see them cleaning. Everyone is required to wear a mask the entire time and every time I have gone I have seen everyone wearing a mask the entire time correctly. The check in process was very smooth and the staff is so friendly and makes you feel very welcome. The instructors are great! Super fun but also push to do your best. Very attentive especially since it was my first two classes. The whole atmosphere made me feel very welcome and stress free. The workout itself was super tough! Drenched in sweat afterwards in the best way possible.
