In 2021, I kept telling my co worker that we needed to look for a workout place to try to relieve…read moresome of our work stress. In June, 2022, when she was out of town, I stopped by HotWorx West Omaha (192nd & Pacific) since it was close to work. I was intrigued by the short classes as it had been a while since I had been to an exercise class. I started out with a cardio class (start every 15 minutes) and I was hooked. I always have loved the heat (am a huge fan of Bikram yoga), so to be able to exercise in a sauna was/is great for me. Now to inform my co worker. On her first day back, I had gone to a class over lunch, and when I came back, she noticed I had taken a shower and that my face was kind of red. Her question was... did you go work out, to which I responded - YEP!! She went the next day with me and we have been going ever since. She is more of an all cardio person, whereas I like to mix it up! It also helps that the studio has challenges which "make" us do certain classes in order to get points. Leanna, the manager, is so friendly and so helpful! I am so glad I stopped in to try it as now it has become a habit! Love it!!

I visited this fitness facility on a Saturday but waited until Monday to use my free pass. Once you…read moresign the waiver, you are ushered into a small room with equipment or mat space. I chose to go with the spin bikes. The staffers are not trained to answer questions regarding Exercise Science and go by a memorized script. The class is only 13 minutes long and I just assumed from Saturday's tour they were 30 minutes. There are no adequate spaces to hang up jackets per space, cubby boxes are not large enough to fit thick jackets. There are only 2 restrooms and no locker room space to change clothes. The video workout did not provide adequate instruction for various fitness levels or proper encouragement in my opinion. There was no warm up period when the bike ride instruction started. The first thing the video instructor wanted you to do was to place a large resistance on the bike, get up off the bike seat and start pedaling hard. When I asked the staff member about this, she repeated what was told to her that a warm up is unnecessary since the room is 130 degrees which is supposed to instantly warm up your muscles. I let her know that's not what happens when describing human physiology. The superficial blood vessels dilate, bringing blood to your skin and not to the gross skeletal muscles such as the glutes and quads that require this valuable blood to help ride up these hills. I think I caught her off-guard and she realized I wasn't going to sign up for a membership. Dry heat exercise can be helpful if you take special precautions such as warming up before your session. Static stretching is not a warm up. I would suggest going to the free weight area and performing lunges or body squats 5 minutes before your activity. Also, hyper hydrate with only cold water and drink cold water during your 13 minute session, regardless of what the staff members or video instructors tell you when to drink. I wish the video instructors would be certified by The American College of Sports Medicine which would greatly provide instant credibility especially when dealing with many clients of all fitness levels and any medical predisposition. Lastly, the video should always provide the opportunity to stop or slow down if experiencing specific symptoms during your activity.

Love the classes here! I was at Body Alive (which really isn't much of a workout). I left because…read morethey TRIED stealing money from me and they DID steal a lot of money from my friends and they ignored a medical issue one of my friends had there. That pissed me off.

Sure it can feel intimidating trying something new but you quickly realize it is self-paced. You aren't trying to keep up with anyone but yourself and no one is watching to see where you're at. This is far from an elitist group and I love seeing people from all different walks of life at different points of their fitness journeys. In 3 months I have lost 20lbs and 11% body fat. My BMI went from overweight to healthy and my goal is to maintain that. I have 5 kids under the age of 5 and want to be a good role model for them, and for any moms out there that you can still be healthy and strong during pregnancy and motherhood!

I had been consistently working out 5-6 days a week for nearly 10 yrs... I owned a gym franchise location in town... fitness was my life. I sold the gym in 2018... and... just stopped. Stopped working out, stopped eating clean. In those 2 yrs I have started and stopped workout plans and diets... was just so hard getting back to it. In 2020... working from home really excelled the inactivity. I had a knee injury, ankles were always sore... My body was telling me it was time. Enter Core 10. I had never done a pilates workout in my life... but from the 1st class i was hooked. The instructors are top of the line... they were emailing and texting to follow up. Wanted to know my story. Really care about their members success. I love that the scheduling of the classes keeps me accountable and keep me getting up in the morning. The workouts are incredible. Its low impact... but high intensity and just killer. I am working out to failure, every workout. Its just amazing. I am hooked. Doing at least 4 workouts a week, each week. In just 8 weeks, my strength, flexibility and balance are improving at great speed. I'm stronger... and ready to start tackling the diet... which is also included in your membership. I love the small class sizes and attention you get in class. It feels like a family, already. I will be a member for life!!!!!! Thanks Core 10 for putting the love back in fitness and health for me!!! - Tabitha

If you are more of a person who likes to plan their own workout, they have a massive variety of machines and free weights that ensures you are able to get a great workout in without having to wait a long time for a machine! They also have an amazing indoor and outdoor pool. The outdoor pool is a DREAM in the summer- I could literally spend all day here. They have an outdoor and an indoor cafe that has high quality ingredients and food, truly making it so you could spend your whole day here. On top of the workout classes, expansive gym, pools that make you feel like you are no longer in Omaha- but somewhere more tropical they also have a great workspace if you are looking to make a meeting right after a workout. They have a clean, well maintained locker room that allows you to shower and get ready for your day here as well. Life Time is truly like my second home. Perfect day: yoga, steam room and sauna, cafe for a protein packed smoothie, get comfortable in their work space and get power through some projects, pool with a book and a slushie, shower off and go home. Could not be a more perfect day.

Unfortunately, my experience changed due to a situation involving a spin instructor that deeply impacted my personal life. This situation made the gym feel uncomfortable and no longer like the safe space it once was for me and my family. What has been most disappointing is how everything was handled. I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously, and ultimately I was the one who had to leave and cancel my membership after many years. I understand that personal situations can be complex, but when they affect members' comfort and trust, I believe they should be handled with greater care and accountability. Because of this experience, I would encourage others to carefully consider what kind of environment they're looking for when choosing a gym.

If you're looking for a smaller, low-key gym that still has everything you need, this is the place. It's never overly crowded, which means I can always find a treadmill or open equipment without waiting around. They offer workout classes, tanning beds, and a nice variety of equipment. One of my favorite things is that they allow you to use the workout classroom when classes aren't in session. I don't always feel comfortable working out around others and having that space has been a game-changer for me. The staff has always been super friendly and helpful whenever I've needed anything. The only small feedback I have is that a few of the color plastic weights could use an upgrade as they're a bit worn but that hasn't taken away from my overall experience. Highly recommend this gym if you're looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and reliable place to work out!

The instructors are absolutely incredible people and they're some of the most enthusiastic and encouraging individuals I've ever met!

Being part of CKO has truly felt like one big family! :) In the 10 months that I've been a member (this is the first time I've ever joined a kickboxing gym too!) I've witnessed a huge and positive physiological change in my mind and body, as well as my mood and motivation too! I am so glad I joined CKO last year.

The instructors are all very positive and encouraging and that helped me early on when I was very out of shape and was scared of being judged in the gym. CKO is a welcoming environment, regardless on whether you are already shredded or just beginning your athletic journey. If you are worried of being judged, I will squash that fear. DONT BE! The instructors and other boxers are all incredibly friendly and encouraging. I have not met an unfriendly person here. The classes themselves are a hour long and include primarily kickboxing, as well as ab workouts and other exercises depending on the day. On Wednesdays and Fridays, half of the class is spent doing strength training with weights and the TRX. All of these extra exercises are to improve your kickboxing. Whatever the activity, they are clear with instructions and if you are unsure of what you should be doing, the instructors are always happy to help. If you need to take a break, you arent judged and can jump back in when you are ready. I really like that CKO encrouages me not only to maintain, but improve. Natalia, Lornell, and the other instructors all push you to your limits and encourage you not to give up and to keep it going. I dont know how many times I have felt like giving up, and Dustin's speech gets me back on track. Seriously man, your speeches are awesome! CKO makes it really easy for me to get in shape. I was never an athletic person, but CKO has given me a love for kickboxing and makes me look forward to going to the gym. I would recommend anyone give them a try! You wont be disappointed.
