    If I could give 10 stars I would. I've been a CKO member…read morefor 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.

    They are fraud, dont ever sign up with them, I signed up for specifically 3 months and informed…read morethem 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

    BE AWARE!!! Someone…read moreposted a review in google for this academy, and it read as follows: "How is possible the lack of discipline and to permit the bullying in the academy for little kids? How a professor response is that he can't do anything about bullying? What the owner of this academy let this to happen? I think that a review of the license to operate is due!!" To what the owner of the place, Mario Sperry, replied: "Thank you for your message. You should try another gym. Let us know, how it goes. Good luck!" My review/response to his sarcastic reply (and gave one star as it doesn't let you give a lower rating): Seriously!!?? is that your response to a review about a little kid being bullied on your watch!!??? go out there and let us know how it goes!!??? I believe that the core principles or pillars of martial arts are still discipline, respect, and patience, but evidently, not in your gym. My son took judo classes when he was little (I can give you the name of the place because it is still around--too bad is far from their house) and the most important things he was taught early on was, 1) follow the rules, 2) discipline, and 3) respect, that's why he enrolled his son in a martial arts school, to learn the technique but also to form him as a respectful adult. You might have a million medals and hold a 6th degree black belt, but you are clearly does not care about discipline and respect, or the safety of the children entrusted to you to teach and guide. What type of gym are you running, a daycare for little kids or a place where values and respect are also taught as part of the enrollment package? Such a disgrace to the sport and such a lack of respect to the community and parents! I definitely second the idea of a full review, by either the MMA, USJJF, USJJO, IBJJF, and any other regulator out there!

    Have you not moved off of your couch for years and are completely out of shape? Are you an elite…read moreathlete needing a new challenge? Are you looking to learn how to defend yourself? Are you just new to Miami and looking to meet friends? Have you listened to Joe Rogan and now want to see what Jiu Jitsu is all about? If you answered yes to any of the questions above then you need to stop by the family atmosphere, Mario Sperry's gym for a free class. I started watching a lot of YouTube and heard Joe Rogan swear by Jiu Jitsu. It made me curious so I looked for a gym close to me. Mario Sperry Martial Arts was only one mile from me so I sent them an e-mail and they responded right back to me. I warned them that I was older, out of shape, and non-athletic, but they told me to come on in and check out a free class. As I walked up to the studio a man walking a few steps ahead stopped and introduced himself (the Mario Sperry culture). We went in and he told me all about the studio and why he loves it. The famous Mario Sperry was teaching a class, but when he saw me he came over and introduced himself. This gym is for everyone. Men, women, little kids, and retired adults all can be found here. The instructors are fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese so there is never a problem communicating no matter where you're from. There is a huge range of experience. There are black belts that have been practicing 30+ years and almost everyday there are new people, so when you come in you probably won't be alone. On the first day you'll walk in and everyone will start talking to you, and then a professor will help you get some gear to try out the class. You'll be partnered up with a more experienced belt who will guide you through your first class. Everyone has had their first day of Jiu Jitsu so it's expected that you will be tired and you are encouraged to go at your own pace. You'll have the rest of your life to improve. A general class lasts an hour, but you're so busy that it feels like ten minutes. There is free parking and clean bathrooms and showers in case you have somewhere to go right after class. There is a wide range of Jiu Jitsu classes throughout the week, at different times of the day to accommodate multiple schedules. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday there is also an MMA kickboxing class taught by Javier and Thiago . It's intense and you will sleep like a baby after you work out with them. You always learn something new from them and they quickly help you develop muscle memory. On Saturday there is a mobility class where the professor teaches you to move and push your body in ways that it's not trained to do. Then after there is an open mat session where you can work on moves, roll (practicing Jiu Jitsu live) or just talk with each other. Come in and learn from these knowledgeable professors in a safe and friendly environment. You'll be in better shape, will have unlimited challenges, and will be able to network with people from all different backgrounds.
