I bought the Groupon and attended the Women's Cardio Boxing. First off, I was super nervous about going to the class. I've never had a class or any training in boxing and am completely new to this. I am overweight but I've been working out and running for more than 6 months so I thought I could keep up with the class and for the most part I did. Everyone there was super nice and friendly. Once the class started, I was no longer nervous anymore. My boyfriend also attended Jiu Jitsu class and loved it. Said that it was great and we will buy these groupons everytime they pop up. The place isn't huge but decently sized. Some of the girls in my class are on their second groupon with the place, which tells me it's worth it. If you are training to fight, I have heard that this is the best place around for boxing training. Since writing my first review, I have returned to more cardio boxing classes and am still really enjoying the class. Even bought a Living Social deal for a month of unlimited classes. read more

I have had this place has been on the back burner for me for some time and I was waiting for the perfect time to come in and try them out. Friday was that day.. SKT had a cool deal on Goupon, $10 for an introductory Kickboxing class. I snagged the deal and dropped in for a 5:30 p.m. class. First thing I see when I walked in (a few minutes late by the way) were a bunch of moms hanging out in the waiting area, and a large group of kids running warmups on the padded workout floor, which is pretty large to my surprise(From the outside the place looks small, but they make pretty good use of the space). I kinda hung out for a minute trying to figure out who to speak to about the class i was looking to attend. Finally caught the attention of one of the employees, who was eager to get me started and headed in the right direction. After the obligatory legal paperwork was complete, the young man pointed out the back room as the location of the class I was to be part of. Fast forward to the actual class.. Mike the kickboxing instrtuctor, was cool, and patiently showed me some basic moves and points throughout the class and was really good about communicating each students progress through the drills he put us through. I am a complete novice when it comes to boxing and the martial arts, but Mike did a good job of working with me and the other students , some of whom had prior experience. After about an hour of jabs, uppercuts and kicks, I was pretty tired and left very eager to learn more and put my new moves to work. Overall, SKT seems to offer a good atmosphere to fighters and fitness oriented members, alike, a good place to come in and get your work in.. Nothing fancy about this place, so leave your fancy gym expectations at the door. I was intially a bit intimidated coming to this place, but left feeling like I could really fit in here. The staff seemed to really understand that not everyone walking in the door is UFC material or in fighting shape. I was able to get comfortable, work at my own pace and not feel like I was the odd person here. I will definitely be coming back to try some of the fitness bootcamps in the near future, and maybe even bringing my son over to train as well. read more

Another groupon. You would think I would have learned my lesson from previous experiences. These exercise facilities do these groupons as a quick way to get money. They don't not care if they retain you as a customer. My sister and I came to a women's boxing class. The instructor started of the class by stating let's see who throws up first. I was thinking wth???? Its more of a very mini boot camp and very little boxing techniques. They also seemed annoyed with having to teach new people the techniques. My teacher seemed very focused on helping classmates who already knew what to do. I didn't use the rest of the groupon and wouldn't take a class here agian. Bad experience for me. read more

Got the Groupon for 10 classes and loved my Thurs night ladies kickbox class because it worked me completely out and my instructor Mike was great, however, I have been unsuccessful in signing up for it in the last 2 weeks and it seems to be booked for the next couple weeks. Never had an issue before now but I guess it got popular. Not really feeling any of the other classes they offer so not interested in trying them. Called about seeing if I can get into the kickbox class since I was practically a regular and told to just keep calling and checking. In my busy life, "ain't nobody got time for that", so I think I'm outta luck and out of a Groupon.... read more

Southside knockout has a great variety of classes along with awesome instructors. There are all different level classes, but if you sign up for advanced or boot camp make sure your in some kind of decent shape so you can keep up! Muscles were sore for days at first-it was awesome! read more

Your body, mind and soul will thank you for attending Southside Knockout. The knowledgeable instructors have truly changed the idea of what it means for you to "work out." The physical transformation will be obvious to you once you begin your classes, but moreover, the emotional and spiritual change you will receive from being "in the moment" as you take a deep breath to finish your final rep...amazing. I speak from experience, almost two years now, and I am grateful for finding such a supportive, yet challenging environment! Southside Knockout will not just tell you how to reach your goals, but rather show you how to become confident with your body's capabilities! Just give it one class and you'll be inclined to shout, "S-K-T on three! 1-2-3...SKT!" read more

I am not a gym-goer because I have no clue what to do on the machines. This gym is great because the instructor lead classes get your blood flowing and helps burn fat and build muscle. I always have a great workout, and if I am ever stuck on a move that I don't know how to do, the instructors help! They also remember you and push you to your capabilties. No slacking here! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place...the trainers are great- very motivating....the workouts are intense- always different!!!! Love this place! read more

What a workout! Ladies and gentlemen if you are looking to get into shape and trust me you do ALL the work on your own then get your bum to Southside Knockout! The boot camp classes are insane and will have you feeling great about yourself! I have been going about a week now although I have not seen immediate results, it has shown me how terribly out of shape I am! The instructor's are knowledgeable and will help you with form. These classes have helped me realize that I need to get in gear. Today's class was especially hard for me as I skipped a week because I was out of town! Yikes! But seriously if you are looking for a great workout try it out! I seriously doubt you will regret it. The classes are for both men and women and the schedule is online. They also have tons of classes for kids and youths if you are interested! I like the cardio boxing, the bootcamp, and the kettlebell classes. read more

Great place! Great people! No high pressure sales pitches to join. Trainers are fabulous.

The staff is great - always encouraging, motivating and available for questions. Regular email communications with tips and recipes will keep you on track and focused. The instructors will show you how to do each exercise and give you modifications, if needed. I've been a member for 7 months, and I don't think I've ever done the same workout twice. Every class is challenging and rewarding. Looking forward to the upcoming expansion of the gym. Don't be intimidated, you can do it! read more

I had the pleasure of taking my first class at SKT over the weekend! It was exactly what I needed in a workout. The instructor was very motiviating and concious of everyone in her class. Of course, you need your own motivation to work hard but she definately pushed you to work harder. I would definately recommend to others ! read more

OMG this place is mind blowing!!! I was involved in a weight loss competition at my office and for several weeks watched as my 2 hour daily workouts at my other gym resulted in minimal pounds gone. A friend brought me in for a trial class- KO training. it was amazing and I actually felt like I was working out for the first time and REALLY being challenged. The instructors are super motivating and patient- which was really appreciated because I felt a bit intimidated by the place initially. AWESOME place - I'm telling everyone!!!! read more
