I joined CKO Carroll Gardens about 3 months ago and in short order I have seen improvements in my overall health - great mood, endurance, weight loss, strength, coordination, and body tone! The trainers are AMAZING, each of them have their own unique style which keeps the classes interesting and fun. I have also made new friends...my new "workout buddies" push me to endure the workouts and help motivate me to get to the gym in the first place! It is well worth every effort! See you at CKO.!

ok. your life will be infinitely better if you join this place.
EVERY instructor is insanely inspiring, motivational, and strong as hell.
music is great. environment is welcoming and very community-oriented. somehow, gym is always clean.
you will sweat through all your clothes. you may at times feel like you want to vomit, but in the best way. you will love every class, no matter what level you're at. and seriously, you'll see results - either in muscle tone, cardio endurance, weight, mood...
ALSO they offer personal training sessions at MUCH better rates than i've seen at any other gyms if you do want a more intensive session on form.
i cannot emphasize how obsessed i am with CKO. do not hesitate to join.

I LOVE THIS GYM. My wife and I took our first class with Kristine and from that point on we were hooked. Kristine is in incredible shape and she is a top notch trainer. She also has hilarious jokes. I look forward to her classes at the end of a work day.
This cko location is worth visiting if you are in town or worth joining if you live close by. Every instructor is amazing and brings something different to the table in style and personality. The owners of this gym are ALL-STARS as instructors, as people and as athletes.

Joined a few months ago and I couldn't be happier. Each class is varied, creative, fun and challenging. It is in a very positive group setting that keeps me motivated and coming back for more, I highly suggest cko for a great workout with great people!

I just joined cko at court st. So far so good, but i took the class this morning with Rosa and it was so intense. The music keeps you going and she keeps you pumped up.
Thank you CKO for helping me get back into working out.

The Sunday morning kickboxing class with Rosa kicked my butt! That tiny woman is tough, but fair. She'll call people out for incorrect form and/or not trying hard enough and will work with you to push you to achieve more.
I came here through Classtivity, although they currently have a deal that if you check in through Yelp, you get a free orientation class, and it was a great discovery. If it's your first time here and especially if it's your first time kickboxing or trying a martial arts or self-defense class, I highly recommend that you come early to review the basics with the instructor. There's not really time for detailed instructions during the class; it's just go go go.
The class is set up as a series of intervals. After a quick warm-up with the jump rope, there's stretching, then you go into an instructed round of jabs, hooks, and front kicks with the punching bag. Then there's a round of burpees and jump squats, all those things you love to hate but know you must do to keep that heart rate up and keep you strong. Then there are "attack" rounds which is like everyone's secret dream of being able to just go crazy and beat the crap out of a punching bag however you want. Blah blah blah more rounds of bicycles and side touches followed by rounds of instructed punching and kicking moves then jumping jacks followed by more attack rounds. Lather, rinse, repeat.
The place is set up with two lines of about 10 punching bags and the class I attended was pretty full of both regulars and first timers. They provide you with gloves or you can bring your own. Obviously, if you can bring your own gloves, please do as borrowing gloves that are laid out for public use isn't always ideal both in terms of fit and smell. Also, you should bring your own towel and water bottle as you will be sweatin'. They have lockers in the back or you can just keep your things by you in the cubbies.
Overall, great class that gets you going. As with all workout classes, you get what you put in and I would recommend that for people not so familiar with kickboxing, they try some kind of beginner's class first so they don't hurt themselves or accept the learning curve as there really isn't much time for detailed individual instruction once class starts.
