CKO Kickboxing Maspeth — Local services in New York

I have been a member of the CKO community for over 7 years. After the pandemic, my home gym shut down and unfortunately did not reopen. I moved to Maspeth looking forward to continuing my kickboxing journey, but my experience has been quite disappointing.

While the concept of kickboxing classes is exciting, the execution here leaves much to be desired. If you enjoy cardio, it might be a good fit, but it will get boring if you're looking to further your skills. Many of the instructors are young high school students with little to no experience. One instructor, in particular, a young woman, consistently leads classes with poor form and brings an air of hostility, creating a negative environment that trickles down to the other instructors and, ultimately, the members. This not only makes the sessions frustrating but also hinders any real progress in skill development.

On a positive note, the owner, Tommy, is great when he’s there. His enthusiasm and knowledge shine through, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about the members. However, his presence isn’t enough to compensate for the overall lack of quality in instruction.

Having moved to another CKO location earlier this year, I've experienced much better training and more knowledgeable instructors. It’s disappointing to see such a stark contrast in quality. I really wanted to love this gym, but my experience has fallen short of expectations, and I hope they can make improvements to enhance the overall...

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now! I have been going to CKO Maspeth almost since they have opened. I absolutely love it. They have a website/facebook/app/Instagram and upload the classes/instructors on them. They are extremely responsive on social media.

They have everything you need to keep you busy. They offer pad training classes/personal training/weight training for an additional fee. What's included in the membership is UNLIMITED classes for a month. You can take all the classes everyday seven days a week.

I have a high stress job and this is my stress reliever. I take it all out on the bags. There are different instructors and each has their own favorites workouts. Here you can get HIIT, pure kickboxing, more cardio based, form/skills based, weight training and more "boot-camp" style classes.

The facility is clean, it has AC/heat. They sell cool workout gear/water. They also use myZone is you're into that and have multiple TV screens to check out our HR and calories burned during class--for friendly competition. I have made many friends here. You do not need to be a pro to join, there are beginners from more advanced people in class, the music is BUMPIN' and it's such a fun time. The owners and instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and super chill.

If you're looking for an instructor led class to get you into shape, with LIT music...

CKO Maspeth continues to be my favorite gym since 2019. The trainers and fellow members are all super supportive. I recently brought my mother who is in her 70s to the gym and she had a great time. You have a variety of classes and trainers to choose from. Tommy classes are always fun and such a mood lifter! Bootcamp Wednesday with Angela is weight focused and a great way to get some strength training in your routine. If you want intense cardio.. Sundays with Angela would be for you! They also provide separate training outside the membership that can be tailored to your specific needs. I take classes and do one on one training. I am thankful for...
