They are fraud, dont ever sign up with them, I signed up for specifically 3 months and informed them about my decision to discontinue, they kept billing my credit card even after that, and when I reached out them they said that they want it written in email for discontinuation but didn't tell me THAT at the desk when i told them that i want to cancel my membership. I never got any email about the renewal of my membership as well. Stay away guys they are FRAUDS, they charged my credit card for additional 4 months read more

CKO Kickboxing is attached to the Neo Vertika condo in Brickell and valet parking is available for $4 (2 hours) with validation. Lately, CKO has been my go-to workout session for several reasons: 1) It's a full body workout in one hour. 2) Each workout is different. 3) All of the instructors are warm and friendly. 4) I take some pleasure in seeing my workout partner Marilu F get her butt handed to her before I start to feel bad for her. And then, she makes it through Dominic's class, nonetheless, and then I'm proud of her. Marilu is the one that got me started at CKO this year when she mentioned there was a deal going on for 3 classes and a pair of boxing gloves for just $29. Enough said. I signed up right away. CKO also had an option to try the first class for free. Soon enough, I attended my first class with our instructor Dominic. Just a few minutes before class, Dominic gave me an orientation. He showed me the correct stance being a righty. Then, he demonstrated a jab, cross, hook, uppercut, and several kicks with correct form. It's important to know since we have to execute a combination of these during class. In our experience, Dominic's class has been the most intense and challenging one at CKO Brickell. We get tortured right from the start before we even start hitting the bags. The leg workout, itself, is killer every time among other things. After that, we execute all of the punching/kicking combinations that he throws at us.. each one getting more complex as he adds on. Also, throw in a core workout in the middle of all this and you get the idea. Marilu and I know the suffering all too well. And, somehow, we keep coming back for more. I've also attended a class from instructors Isabella and Rodney. Both of them are gems and I love seeing them here. Also, this CKO location offers gatorade for $2 each along with some other beverages. read more

It's a couple of days later, and just like the last time, I'm definitely feeling the effects of CKO Kickboxing. Originally I got into a Yelp event last year and got my sweat on for free at this gym. I ended up loving and hating it at the same time. It was just complicated. I kept meaning to go back and try the actual free class they're always advertising. I finally did this and dragged Alexandra M. with me. Well, I shouldn't say drag. She went willingly. Turns out they had a deal going on. Get three classes and a pair of gloves for $29.99. Needless to say, we jumped right to it. I mean, we needed gloves and they're typically $20, so this is a bargain. Not to mention more classes, more time with friends, and more time cementing relationships. The owner, Fernando, was there, once again, as was Rodney, whom I remember from the prior event. His workouts are insane but very much recommended. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. I'm very much looking forward to the next class and I hope to figure out something that works for me once these three classes are done. I'd love a package deal. Like X amount of classes for a set price. Not all of us can make it to Brickell everyday. Or Midtown. Apparently they're going to be opening a second gym there. This is probably the one workout I've ever done that makes me resemble getting out of a sauna. I actually feel like I'm doing something and I enjoy it, too, even if half the time I'm asking myself why. Because seriously - it isn't easy. You feel the burn. For those concerned over parking, they validate parking for two hours. It ends up being $4. There's also some street parking around, so you have options. As for those who continue to go but don't commit to a membership, a typical class will cost you $30. An unlimited membership will cost you $120, and surprise surprise, they even have workouts for kids. Fun for the entire family! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. I've been a CKO member for 5.5 years and here in Miami for almost a year. This is the absolute best gym, best CKO location, best set of trainers that you will find anywhere. I started coming in 2017 when I would visit on vacation and from day 1 I knew I needed to be a permanent member of this location. The energy is unmatched by every single trainer here, something not often found elsewhere. The owner, Fernando, is the most welcoming human and makes you feel like part of the CKO family immediately. The trainers are the spotlight- Amy, Jay, Rodney, Christian, Dominic, Matt, and Adam are my regular go-to's but I guarantee no matter who's class you walk into, you'll leave feeling on top of the world. From the cardio to boxing to weight included exercises, you get a mix of everything here. It's all you need in a gym. Their kickboxing experience is the best I've ever seen, so you're getting a good sweat but also learning proper technique and form at the same time. There are few guarantees in life, but joining CKO, putting in the work, & looking and feeling better is one I can put money on. If you want to invest in your health and happiness- join CKO Brickell and thank me later. read more

CKO Kickboxing Brickell - Huge space, never feels too crowded. - Gyms Near Me - Miami, Florida

I recently moved to Miami and joined CKO. The cardio is great, each instructor brings something a little new and diverse to the table. All of the employees/staff have gone out of their way to be friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Seriously the best workout! I was a CKO member in NJ for 3 years and when I moved to Miami I was ecstatic there was a CKO down here. The instructors are fantastic and I love that they are all so different. You'll never get sick of the workouts, because each class targets different body parts. read more

Let's talk about fun workouts; CKO! I am a big believer that any physical activity is better that non. Also, if the straight lifting weights is too boring or the new wave of Crossfit like gyms are a bit intimidating, CKO is just what you want to try next. 1st thing you'll find at this place is a welcoming vibe that begings at the door and gets perpetuated throughout the workout. At the end, your instructors will congratulate you for the effort with a big smile...it's kinda of weird since i am sure you'll be cursing their name during the intense 50 minutes prior to that. Something else I like about this place, is that they take the time to go over the moves and the technique. This is not a small gym, yet, they take their time to make sure people are doing it right and no one is getting hurt. So, what is the workout like? It's a combo between HIIT (high intensity interval training), strength training using your body weight, elastic bands and team work. It's You against a real boxing bag. Do you want to hit the s $#% out of It? Go for it ! Do you want to give it a name, imagine your ex, awful boss or less favorite politician (president too) while punching ? You can do that too! No matter how you want to embrace this workout, I guarantee you, the sweat and the stink will be both real and worth it. read more

CKO Kickboxing Brickell - Gyms Near Me - Miami, Florida

Absolutely in love with this CKO! Had a blast working out with them! Yes! I'm from NYC and while on vacation I needed to keep my work outs on point! They didn't disappoint. Super clean too! Can't wait to go back!! read more

I signed 3 years ago and since then going to CKO is definitely a life changing! The workout program is amazing as well all the trainers. Great workout in a super nice ambiance. Thanks to CKO I'm in better shape at 50 than what I was at 30! I definitely would recommend anyone to give it a try. read more

I love working out at CKO! I attend classes 5 times a week, sometimes 6 times because it is so addictive and uplifting. It gives me a lot of energy, and I feel healthy and strong. The instructors are amazing, super nice and keep you motivated. Each class is different, fun and challenging. I wake up everyday looking forward to my CKO workout. Thank you guys @CKO...You are the best !!!! read more

Absolutely love the workout and team at CKO. I can't give any higher praise! The Workout: The workout at CKO is no joke but can be catered to any fitness level since you go at your own pace. The trainer will call out a series of punches or kicks and then you go at your own pace. No matter what shape you are in, you will always feel tired walking out the door. The trainers keep things interesting - no two classes are the same - and the music playlist is almost always heart pumping. The People: The training team at CKO is phenomenal. It starts at the top with Fernando, who is the GM. He's built a team of warm & caring trainers who aren't afraid to push you. Rodney, Isabella, Dominic, Eddie, Gavriel, Chris - I've taken all of their classes and each brings something different. One instructor will have you doing jump kicks while other will teach you how to do spin kicks. Keeps each class interesting and fun. read more

My favorite gym in Brickell!! Incredible and motivating trainers, super nice staff and members, great music. One of the most challenging yet satisfying workouts, 100% recommended for all levels. You won't be disappointed! read more

This is the best gym you will ever find. I have tried a lot of different gyms and types of workout, CKO is simply the best. Every trainer is amazing, they make you feel like you are part of a family, and it is truly a judgement-free zone. It doesn't matter what shape you are in, they will make sure you feel comfortable and get the best out of every workout. I have been coming to this specific gym for over half a year and I am absolutely loving it. I can say only great things about CKO, its trainers, the owner and front desk. Everyone I have recommend this gym to loved it. Truly the best!!! Thank you, CKO! read more

TL; DR: I left halfway through my first class on Wednesday evening because the teacher was disrespectful and they make no effort to ensure you won't hurt yourself. I've taken various forms of martial arts throughout the past 20 years and please know that at this place you won't learn proper technique. The workouts here focus on weigh loss, not self-defense, and that's fine -- but without someone checking on your wrists when you punch and your footwork during kicks, you can injure yourself severely (mainly your wrists and knees). You can't just have the front desk person show you a little technique when you first arrive -- the instructor should be checking on people and that didn't happen. They don't even give tips to protect your neck during ab work! Come on. Absolutely irresponsible. Then, halfway through the class, the instructor turned up the music like this was Ultra. My ears literally hurt. And it was obviously harder to hear him or anything else at that point. When I walked up to him and asked if he would lower the volume, he succinctly responded, "No" and walked away from me. Are you kidding me?? That is when I took off my gloves, grabbed my gym bag, and walked out of there. I'm off to try a place a few blocks away where the traffic is worse and it's a little pricier, but I already know one of the instructors and he knows what he's doing and is respectful of his students, so it'll be totally worth it. P.S. The only reason I didn't leave 1 star is because the owner called me a few minutes after I walked out, kindly apologized, and offered me a week of free classes. But I definitely don't want to take any more classes here, so I thanked him and turned down his offer. read more

I've been a faithful member of CKO for over a year. I must say, it's the best decision and investment I've ever made! Unlike other kickboxing places, CKO provides you with a fun workout. Not only you get to kick ass in the bags, but you also get to train with weights, jump ropes, medicine balls, resistance bands, and so much more! I can proudly say I could potentially defend myself, if it comes to that (hopefully not lol). But, ever since I joined CKO my body has completely changed. Because they mix strength training with HIIT routines, your body gets stronger while getting leaner! CKO motivates me to workout whenever I'm feeling lazy. The classes are definitely a shot of energy. Additionally, everyone in their staff is super friendly, and helpful. Most importantly, they're professionals. DO NOT worry if you haven't workout in years because in CKO you can do everything at your own pace. Members are also very friendly and they make you feel comfortable. I'm so happy to be a part of the CKO family! I love CKO! read more

CKO is the best kickboxing gym in Miami hands down, but like hands up though, gotta keep em up!!! I love it here. CKO, take my money!

I love CKO! I joined CKO about 4 months ago. I have tried many different types of work outs from barre to Crossfit and everything in between. CKO is something special. It's a 1 hour full body work out that never gets boring. The coaches will challenge you and after every class you WILL feel stronger. The gym is very clean, I never have a problem finding parking (big plus for someone coming from south beach), I relieve tons of stress and the music gets you pumped up! It's not intimidating to be part of CKO it's really meant for everyone! After just 3 weeks I started seeing results and getting closer to my goals. read more

If you want to get in shape and have fun at the same this is the place. This is one of the best experiences I've ever had. Love how the classes are given and every trainer has a different style. The management is super friendly and takes care of their customers nicely. Super recommended!! read more

Unpretentious gym in Miami, which is hard to find. The energy is great, the trainers even greater

Came to dj for an event during one of the one hour classes and I have to say it was one of the most fun experiences I have had. If you're looking for a tough, fun, workout, come check out cko miami. read more

CKO Kickboxing Brickell - "Just you and the bag." - Gyms Near Me - Miami, Florida

I love this gym! Every class is different and it's always a great workout and so much fun!! I've been practicing kickboxing for a while and I always learn new things. It's just a great environment for people of all levels to have a good time. Even if you've never done it before you'll be hooked from the first class. The coaches are so friendly and skilled! Their COVID precautions are also really good. I don't usually write reviews but I had to for CKO because it's such an important part of my daily routine and I'm so grateful to have such a great gym nearby! Give it a try! read more

Such a great addition to Brickell! After leaving my old kickboxing gym about two years ago, I've missed it and haven't found a dedicated gym I love. I tried a complimentary class at CKO and was so impressed! The staff genuinely cares about you and goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I checked in with a sales manager and he made sure to go over the basics with me and even helped me with my wraps. Throughout the workout, the staff is very encouraging. My class was with Maria and I can honestly say that I WORKED OUT HARD! It was an hour long combination of legs, abs, arms and kickboxing basics that made me feel like I had worked out every single muscle in my body. Needless to say, I was sore for the next two days... but the good kind of sore! One thing I loved about this gym is that the instructor is in the middle of the room while the students can workout around her. In other words, everyone can see the instructor at any time! If you don't have gloves or wraps, don't worry - the staff will provide you with a set of gloves to use during the class. The gym is clean, inviting and overall a good time for those looking to get a fun workout in. read more

It's been almost six month since I signed up for my membership. I love this place, the instructors, the environment, the workouts! This place is amazing and now we all the covid restrictions, they have done an incredible job in adapting to the new protocols. I feel very safe going to complete my workouts! read more

I just had my first class. Best time ever! I have done all workouts: Croosfit, spinning and personal trainers. This is my first time where I have to punch & kick something the feeling after the class is amazing read more

CKO Kickboxing Brickell - Gyms Near Me - Miami, Florida

The instructors were super nice and friendly. The class wasn't what I expected, definitely more of just a core conditioning class than anything to do with actual kickboxing. I may have been back except for the mosquito problem.. I left to find giant itchy red welts on my legs after the class. They leave the door open so it gets super hot and humid inside, attracting all the mosquitos. Also, a coworker told me it's been years that the studio has had a ton of mosquitos even back when it was a CrossFit place.. would recommend them maybe investing in A/C and keeping the doors closed If heat/mosquitos doesn't bother you, it was fine as a workout class and instructors make you feel at home read more

Amazing atmosphere ,wonderful staff great trainers! Highly recommend this place So much more than kickboxing, they pump you to workout your whole body and teach you if you are doing something wrong. read more

Best workout you'll ever have! Seriously I've never looked forward to working out until I started coming here. You're not just joining a gym, they treat you like family. Very affordable, classes are so much fun and it's for all fitness levels! I had the pleasure of working out with Dominic, Rodney, Christian, DeCue, Adam, and of course the wonderful owner Fernando! Every single one of these rockstars are welcoming, motivating, have high energy and the best music to ensure you have a workout you normally wouldn't be able to do on your own. The gym is super clean and they're doing a great job sanitizing in between classes. Not only do they help you reach your fitness goals, this discipline that is created by coming here transcends into other areas of your life. The confidence and energy I have now is unmatched. Hands down the best and I'm forever grateful for the CKO team! So much love for them :) read more

CKO Kickboxing Brickell - Gyms Near Me - Miami, Florida

I signed up for a year-long membership at CKO-Brickell in August of 2018 after taking 3 classes. I had the opportunity to take 1 free class and 2 drop in classes with Rodney, Fernando and George (and boom I was sold!). All three classes were high energy, full body workouts with great music. All of the trainers at the studio take their time to understand your goals, needs and limits. They provide alternative exercises for lower and higher levels of intensity. They make group workouts feel individualized. The studio is always clean and stocked with refreshments, and they even have a cute little box of hair accessories for when you loose your hair clip, or pop a hair-tie. :) A special shout out to Isa, for spicing up the rotation on the schedule this year! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a strong woman lead a class like a boss! #goals The best thing about CKO is the positive atmosphere. It's about getting stronger, building yourself and surpassing goals. If you are looking for high energy workouts that are inclusive, play great music, are challenging, confidence boosters and all around bad ass fun -I would highly recommend dropping in for a class! Since starting CKO I've lost and maintained 35 pounds, attending class 3-4 times a week. Can't believe it's about to be a year. Best decision I made, no doubt. read more

We love this place, ever since I signed up 4 of my friends did the same! Better shaped we've ever been... The classes are awesome, the teacher amazing, but the most important : it's a ton of fun! I lived around the world, tried a lot of gyms, but this one is from far my number one!!! Highly recommended... read more

Great workout! The trainers are all amazing and very informative when explaining what to do next. Everyone from the front desk to the trainers to the manager was friendly and very attentive. One of my fav workouts in Miami!! read more

CKO Kickboxing Brickell - Gyms Near Me - Miami, Florida

terrible, Yes it does its job as a place that does kickboxing but its loosing all its employees for a reason. Crazy micromanaging boss who fires good workers. They act all sike when they meet you but trusy me they just want to suck the most money out of you they can. With extremely expensive equipment, and make sure to read and understand membership rules because they end up sacking you a huge fee if you try to cancel At the wrong time. Yes some employees were actually great nice people but one thing they all had in common was that they all complained about how awful it is to work there and under a lunatic as a boss. Even met a great kid working there around 6 months ago he treated me extremely nice and I saw as he did everything by himself and worked diligently. Jusy for me to never see him again and find out he was fired. Please save yourself the time and money and go somewhere that will actually care about you more than they care about money and care about their employees. read more

Recently, I purchased three classes for $30 at CKO Miami. I wanted to diversify my workouts and my friend was interested in checking this place out after they hosted a Yelp event here last year. I hadn't been to a kickboxing class in over two years so I was worried at first but overall I had a great time! Amazing work outs, and it's fun to kick and punch your frustrations out! I think these classes are great if you're someone who knows how to work out overall on your own, or are experienced enough to get the jist of the strength training that they have during the classes. The reason I think you need to have experience and not be a brand new beginner is because these classes are large, they have bags up for 42 people and as much as you want, an instructor won't be there to correct your form. I saw a lot of people around be do different exercises not very correctly and because they were out of the sight line of the trainer, no one was there to correct them and teach them how to do it so you get the most out of it. In the end you get out of this workout exactly what you put in. I don't think it's a bad work out at all. I enjoyed the full body part of it and had a great sweat, but I do have more experience in working out so I felt like I got a lot out of it. If you're new to the game, you might want to try a smaller, more personalized class or pick a bag that's right next to the instructor so they can correct you. Overall CKO is fun! I'll be back for occasional classes because I loved that it was cardio without feeling like cardio. You won't regret checking it out! read more

I've always struggled to find an exercise activity that kept me motivated.... well, after 6 months of recovering from an injury and then living through quarantine, I was so happy to return to CKO! The day I returned, I was greeted by name. My favorites are Rodney and Dominic. Rodney will kick your ass in an hour but he's so frickin nice that you just want to hug him afterwards. Dominic knows that I have issues with my back and he always checks on me before, during and after class. I appreciate everyone's positive attitude. It makes me feel safe while I improve every class. THANK YOU! read more

This place is so great it only took two classes to convince me to sign up for a year long membership. Rodney and Fernando alongside all of the CKO trainers are incredibly welcoming and friendly, and I felt like I had been working out at CKO for years after just a few classes. They make a point to get to know all of their members and make everyone feel right at home. I see people of all ages and fitness levels come in to take CKO classes, and I think that is testament to the welcoming atmosphere and kind people that work here. Every class kicks my butt in the best way and I've gotten fitter and stronger since starting at CKO. As a former college athlete I can truly say that CKO classes are a serious workout, I am always dog tired and drenched in sweat by the end. The trainers push you and each class is truly an hour of full body work. But of course you choose how hard you work and build up your mental toughness as well. The year long membership offers you unlimited classes per month which is an amazing value. This gym offers great value in its classes and membership plans without the flashy and intimidating vibes that some Miami gyms have. CKO trainers all have their own style and they offer classes at so many different times of the day that I quickly found myself going to class every day without even thinking twice. Each class is not only a great workout but is also a genuinely fun time, CKO always makes working out out the best part of my day. CKO is a super high quality gym with great staff and members, this is a fantastic fitness community to be a part of. I cannot recommend this gym highly enough! read more

So where do I start? I started my journey with CKO almost 2 years ago. The comfort, motivation and the family CKO has become is far beyond what I expected. I wasn't only able to be confident physically, but also mentally to say the least. Fitness that you love sticks and CKO has stuck with me since I started. Rodney, Jorge, and Fernando are one of the most talented coaches you will ever meet. If you haven't tried cko or kickboxing yet, I strongly suggest you give this specific location a chance and I promise you, you will love it! read more

I've gone to several gyms and boxing clubs and none have been more welcoming than CKO. It's an amazing facility with great energy, always pushing you to achieve the best fit version of you. There are a lot of classes, so there is a lot flexibility schedule wise. The gym also has a lot of bags, so there is always room to join a class. Facility also has a shower. Fer, Rodney, Jorge, Alex, Sebas and MariPau are amazing,dedicated trainers. They really push you out of your comfort zone to achieve your best fit self. If one of them is teaching a class, another will be walking around making sure you are keeping your form, and helping you correct it if it is been done wrong. read more

This is the best box ever!! The coaches are great and really know how to teach the movements properly. They are always very helpful in helping you teach your fitness goals. For brickell the parking is pretty good. I always find one and the members are very nice as well. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting to get back in shape. I started 6 weeks after giving birth and am back in shape a year later!! read more

I came to CKO Miami on vacation as I am from Jersey City and go to CKO JC almost daily. I figured while I was down there I would give it a try. The location is nice, in downtown area and only a 15 minute uber ride from South Beach. The instructor, Azea, was very intense. The class was small, about 7 people, so he was very 1 on 1. Which was nice because it was almost like a personal training session. He mixes kickboxing with cardio and other styles very well. I enjoyed the class very much and when I move to Miami , will look forward to making this my home gym. read more

I joined CKO in August, 2018, and I am very happy that I did so. The classes are fun, and the instructors are awesome. CKO Brickell feels like a family. I have never been able to stick to a consistent schedule at a traditional gym, but the CKO workout always keeps me interested and coming back for more. CKO has transformed my body, and also just made my life better, providing me with an hour of stress relief every day. My husband was skeptical about CKO, but after I brought him to one class, he was also hooked. I can't wait to go to class tomorrow! read more
