CKO Kickboxing in Omaha is hands down the best fitness club I have ever been to!! I've been a…read moremember of CKO for almost a year, and I attend classes 3-4 times a week (yesterday was my 117th class!). The instructors are absolutely incredible people and they're some of the most enthusiastic and encouraging individuals I've ever met! Each class not only feels like a fitness & cardio session but also a team effort where we all motivate eachother to stay on track, and hit (and kick!) the combos and routines that are set by our instructors. 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. (I love the variety of teaching styles across the different instructors and all of the hype they bring to each class!) Thank you again for being here CKO, I appreciate you! I'm looking forward to reaching 200 classes in the coming year!!

I have been taking classes at CKO for over a year and a half (200+ classes and counting!) and…read moreabsolutely LOVE IT. 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.

Outstanding trainers, Omaha is very fortunate to have such a world class MMA gym. Highly recommend!!read more

Went to Mick Doyle's for a free first class based off the recommendation of a current member…read more On the advice of an employee, the hubs and I took both the beginner and intermediate boxing classes. The beginner class was more of a warmup that focused on footwork and technique and the intermediate class moved into hitting and bag work. While the trainers and workout was fantastic, about 45 minutes of the two hours was taken up by the trainer talking (no movement during this time) and one-on-one work with the first trainer. The one-on-one time was great, however, if you were not working with the trainer you were just standing around. It seems this time would be more beneficial if people were paired up to continue training while waiting for their turn with the trainer. If you are looking for a workout, you may want to just attend the beginner class. If you are looking to become more efficient and trained in boxing, both classes are probably needed. The intermediate class (at least during our visit) is just a continuation of the first class and cannot stand on its own. While the extended time was a let down, as newbies we definitely needed the break. If we were to continue on, this would probably be an issue if all classes have this amount of down time. Happy training Yelpers!

I love this new dojo! Being able to see these guys get their own business started is exciting! When…read moreyou punch people in the face, sweat with them and sometimes bleed with them, you also form a bond. You're like extended family. When I visited ESS Martial Arts Academy I felt like we were having a family reunion. Whether you want to get into shape, learn self defense, or feel a sense community, ESS is the place to help you. Super laid back and winning to everyone that comes in the door and steps foot on the mat. I truly believe in what they are trying to create and I would recommend that people give them a shot. Oss!
