I am 64 years old. I joined Kayo almost two years ago and it has been a great experience for me. I lost about 30 pounds and am in much better shape. It has increased my confidence tremendously. I have high blood pressure and after my work out my blood pressure drops tremendously. As long as I work out three days per week my blood pressure is very good. The coaches (Jay, Louigi, Dominic, John Luca and Michael) are great people and very experienced. It is a very fun environment. I am super glad I found this place. George Bassias read more

Great experience, definitely a great place to get you in shape and shed weight. Dom and Mike are good people.

There is just something about the smell of a boxing gym, the blood sweat and tears seeping out of the walls knowing the men inside suffered to reach their potential. Once upon a time when I couldn't defend myself I was a victim of bullying with my orange hair,freckles, and oily pale skin. My father when he wasn't watching baywatch, would put on old Tyson fights and the Rocky movies. He said Apollo creed is the best creation of everything you want in a champion (rest in paradise Carl weathers). After relocating to Long Island from Bayonne NJ, I found Kayo boxing gym in west Hempstead ny. Who I found was the fighting pride of Long Island Mr. Michael Corleone who has decades and decades of experience and within 2 seconds of talking to him you know this man ate punches for a living. The exact person you want in your corner going to battle, someone who has seen it all and taken it all, willing to fight and plod through fire taking 12 shots to deliver that 1. Classes are great usually ran by the dashing Mrs. Corleone and include all skill levels but I will tell you, you're going to sweat and burn the fat. Also options to compete and fight and I will say that is the nuts and bolts to this kayo operation. After 6 months of training I was entered into Bobby Campbell's Rise of A Hero fight card @Sons of Italy. Tickets were reasonably priced standing $85 , folding chair $120, or folding table for $1000 with 6 ppl minimum. Michael wrapped my hands and gave me the There is No Tomorrow speech from Rocky 3 because he saw I was shaking with nerves. I was very lucky my opponent was a lot younger, smaller,less skilled than me and I was able to get the knockout in the 1st round. Trained on and off for few years until injuries got the best of me. Michael is as fierce of a businessman as he is fighter so make sure your monthly dues are paid on time as I forgot it was recurring and I saw I was put into collections, I said I was sorry I forgot all about this and this can hurt my credit because I was buying a house and he told me to "pay my bills" which is the same tough love you get in the ring. One thing that is so cool is that Michael will still compete and fight along with his fighters on the show just like when he fought on the legends card against Bobby Campbell at mulcahys. Michael not fighting since the head kick ko to bloodaxe in 2014 he entered the ring to the sopranos woke up this morning song with the gladiator trunks strutting around the cage while Bobby didn't take this fight seriously as he entered with hangers and little beer gut. They traded punches as Bobby's loose midsection took Corleone's body blows meanwhile a cocky Michael walked into a right hand buckling his knees but made it to the final bell. His motor skills are a little off and it looks like he shouldn't Be operating any heavy machinery but can he fight. I've been to boxing gyms all over and this place has the family feel where everyone is a team. My goal was always to bring my son down and train just like his father but as of now he rather wear his mother's pumps and be referred to as JuJu T-Bone Tabone. Maybe kayo boxing is what he needs so Mr. & Mrs. Corleone you may be seeing Barney again soon Barney forever will sign on the dotted line for Kayo Boxing read more

This is a great boxing gym with plenty of classes and a nice variety of workouts to mix up your training. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, coach Michael provides great instruction making things very relatable and simple to understand. No matter your skill or fitness level this gym will help you achieve your goals and boost your confidence! read more

The gym is great and the program will bring results. However, the gym owner has a social barrier and minimal respect for others. First day we met him he was very short and rude. The second time we came back he was snapping about something his worker didn't communicate and again rude. He started speaking Spanish to me, in-front of a group, assuming I was and I am not. I brushed all of it off but he messaged my wife in a very rude way about a simple confusion. It is quite sad because this gym has so much potential but Michael will one by one turn people away with his lack of social etiquette. read more

I love training with Michael! I came across this gym on Yelp, and am so glad I did! He is so passionate about boxing and it shows. He is patient but yet determined that you perfect the skill. I moved from the west coast and have gone through so many trainers, you will not regret training here! He knows his stuff! read more

Kayo Boxing is a great gym to learn in. Michael Corleone is a great coach, a World Champion and knows how to teach. His son Dominic has followed in his footsteps and also is a great instructor. There are other trainers there that are very very good also. I would recommend this gym to any one. read more

BEWARE $$$$$ They only care about the money. These people have a mob mentality. They have no problem taking your money, but all the problems started when I wanted to cancel. We signed up my son for boxing to help him build confidence and overcome some difficulties. After the covid restrictions settled down, we were able to sign him up for sports in his high school. The boxing gym decided to continue charging my credit card even after we discussed at length that he would no longer be attending. They have since sent my wife and I to collections and tried to ruin her credit score because of months when we did not even receive services. read more

Horrible experience! A waste of money! The owner ripped us off. This isn't where you want to learn how to box

Owner was rude and lacks social etiquette. Stopped by the gym, stayed for a bit to watch the happenings of class. Guess I got there too early because the kids class was going on. Spoke to the Owner. I had lots of questions, but guess I had too many because he became rude. Thought since I was asking all these questions, it was obvious that I didn't know boxing and that's why I was asking . My wife asked a few questions that was important to her for the fitness aspect, he spoke to her like she was an idiot. Was very disrespectful. Cut us off and started yelling at one of his Staff (Coaches) in front of us and the kids in the class. My wife and I was shocked how he spoke to his staff. If this is the way he runs his business, I don't think this is the place I want give my hard working money and business to. Originally came to this gym because of the good reviews. Guess owner is paying his clients for the good reviews. read more

Mike the owner pressured me into signing a 9 month contract as a naieve 19 year old kid, only for covid to hit and the gym closing. He then sent me to collections and had me pay him a full 1500 dollars for not a single day of training past the free week. This place is a boxersize gym, mike is too CTEd out to really teach anyone anything at this point- thats not a stab, its the truth, i thought he was completely wasted at first until seeing his past fights. Him talking like that makes total sense. This is not a place you want to be at if learning how to genuinely box is your goal. Please avoid these scam artists at all costs. His final words to me were, you dont want to fight, thats fine buddy, as if to pressure me into coming to his gym. Not a single family vibe was felt here. read more

Their classes kick butt! And they're taught by a great teacher who has a lot of real life experience. Whether you're looking to burn some calories or prepare for competition, this is a great place to come. They are always adding classes, and have a flexible schedule whether you want to com in the morning or at night. Also, they're located in the back of another gym -- so there are great deals if you want a regular gym membership as well :) read more

This place is becoming my second home. I came here to learned about a real boxing (not cardio boxing). I never have an experience of boxing in my life and Coach Michael is a true professional because he taught me the basics and gradually starting really pushing me. He is a great patience and understanding guy, especially I'm deaf person myself and he always have to make sure that I have his attention and understanding what he said every time. Not only that, but there are really nice people in there who been going there for while would also help you. I've been going about 4 times a week and I kept pushing myself over limit to be a better. No excuses, Just results read more

I really enjoy going to boxing ! I am a very active person but nothing challenges me as much as boxing ! The couch is the real thing ! You will burn calories , get fit and learn much more !!!! You need to come In a check it out for yourself ! I did crossfit , Zumba , weight lifting , swimming and running ! But boxing is the one for me :) thanks to the wonderful couch michael and Jackie ! read more

This is an excellent place to learn boxing and get a GREAT workout. I have been going to Kayo for several months and love it. Mike is a fantastic trainer and knows how to push you to YOUR limits but never too far that you hurt yourself or become annoyed that you are being pushed to do something you cannot do. Every workout is an excellent workout. As for the workout I have never left the training with a dry shirt. I am always drenched with sweat. On multiple occasions I wore a Polar heart rate monitor to see how many calories I am burning and it is always similar result 1000-1200 for a one hour session. You cannot do better then that especially considering the sessions go by so fast because it is so much fun. Compare this to a boring jog on a treadmill. According to Harvard Medical School's calorie burn rate calculator, a 185-pound individual who runs for 30 minutes at a 5 mph pace will burn 355 calories. That is 710 calories for an hour of boredom. This is approximately 50% more calories and 500% more fun. As for how it is doing for my conditioning I am approximately 35 LBS lighter and went from a 2XL shirt to an XL shirt. I was never able to jump rope (not even one jump) and now I can do it for three one minute rounds and then some. I am also up to sparring (which is not mandatory but something I wanted to do). I have trained in other martial arts and must say this is the best workout and this is a lot of fun and I love the sport of boxing. As for Mike, they do not come better them him. He is an excellent trainer, very patient (especially considering I am not a younger person) and has become a good friend of mine. How many times have you thought "do I really want to go to the gym today" or "do I really want to go for a run today" With Kayo I never think of that. I am always thinking that I cannot wait to get there. I look forward to training there. Training there is a highlight of my week. read more
