Club K.O.

What an awesome gym! I had been wanting to stop in for some time, but had managed to talk myself out of it. Finally, I got the gumption to DO IT!
I walked in off the street to take advantage of the first class free offer. I had selected a class that was most appealing to me based on the course description-​a boot camp/​conditioning format.
Everybody was very friendly.
Once the workout was underway, I knew I was up for a challenge. During the warmup I kept reading «Tears may bring you sympathy, but sweat and hard work will bring you rewards» and that just made me keep plugging through.
I was completely whooped when I left one hour later-​but completely satisfied with the work out. The instructor and the staff treated me cordially. I’ll definitely be back!
My only complaint is that they no longer offer a drop in or pay-​per-​visit type of membership. I travel to and from SAT extensively but erratically so that type of payment option makes more sense for me than a full fledged month to month.

Ok, this is my 100^th check in and I’m going to update my review for KO Boxing.
After a year in this gym, nothing changed from my previous review. The staffs are friendly and workout is hard as heck, and I still sweat like summer in Texas.
Here are some of my «professional» tips:
1) Not all classes are created equal, some of the class is more cardio and some are more for strength training, and some are mixed. So depends on what you are looking for and your schedule, I would suggest try all of them and see what tickles you
2) Don’t pay attention to the person next to you, do it in your own pace and your ability. But don’t forget to push yourself. Trust me, you can do that extra rep. Stay consistent.
3) The last row of bags are harder than the first three rows of bags, I started with the softer bags and moved to hard ones about 6 months ago, but I still mix it up sometimes because you get more cardio exercise on the soft bags, but more strength on the hard bags.
4) Although you get tons of cardio exercise, but it shouldn’t replace running or hiking. IMO, I think it replaces weight training because you use your own body weight with pushing up and punching. Although in the Camp KO class, you have a circut, but the weight is pretty light.
5) This is mainly for the guys. If this is your first class, don’t go all in on the first 5 mins, yeah, I know you can punch the bag hard, but can you do it for 55 mins? I see guys come in on first day and just start swing, but after 5 mins, they ran out of breath. Remember, consistency is the key.
6) Get your own glove, the common gloves smells, really really bad. Trust me, you will thank me.

I took advantage of the free class promo months ago and the boxing ko class pretty much let me know that any 1 or 2 hour routine I previously did at my regular gym was mediocre. I gained a newfound respect for boxers after my first class. I finally joined a month ago and went with the month to month unlimited membership. I haven’t tried the Kick KO, or Camp KO classes, I really enjoy the Boxing KO class and know it’s a guaranteed minimum 1000 calories in that 55 mins every class. The classes are never the same and the instructors keep you motivated and push you to keep going. Mondays and Saturdays are the days it seems to be the least packed but Tuesd and Wednesdays can definitely get packed so I try to get there early those days. There’s no judgment, no egos and no nonsense in this gym. All you’ll find is hard working individuals, motivation from instructors and the blood, sweat and tears that people shed on their mission to get or remain fit. So if you’re tired of just running on a treadmill and only burning 300 calories after half an hour, this is the place to come. You can easily triple that by putting in work doing routines here.

It is an intense workout. I dont work out often and i wanted to make a change and dedicate 2 days a week to something. After completing the first class for free i knew this was the challenge i was looking for. You Push yourself to do better but are welcomed at any level-​myself being at level couch potatoe. i feel stronger and am looking forward to seeing my boby in a bathing suit months from now knowing i worked hard for that body and they helped me along the way.

I’ve been wanting to switch up my workouts and thought that taking boxing classes would get me out of a rut. I actually found this place on Unilocal.The instructors are great and help with you maintaining proper form and technique. The workouts are definitely challenging. By the time you’re done, you’ll be drenched in sweat. That’s always a great thing. Just go and check it out.

This place is absolutely amazing. The instructors are great, and the workout is phenomenal. You burn a ton of calories during workout, and it’s absolutely never boring. They also offer a variety of classes, all of which are excellent. The instructors are also really helpful, and teach you how to do things properly without making you feel stupid. One of my favorite places in San Antonio by far.

WHY WHY WHY does this place not have more than one other review?! I discovered it when I changed jobs, and lost my Spectrum membership that was paid for by my previous employer. I was searching for something different, and tried it based on the one positive review on Unilocal before this one.
Great instructors that actually want you to learn how to box; getting and staying in shape is just a nice side effect. The classes are never too crowded, you can go in the AM or PM and have your choice of boxing, kick boxing, boot camp, and I think a few others.
I typically burn anywhere from 680 – 800 calories in an hour long class. If anyone tries to say that it does not make them feel completely awesome to beat down on a punching bag every once in awhile, Club KO will change that. They even give you first class free just to prove it.

Love this place!
Have been taking boxing classes here since July of 2010 and as long as you don’t go home and eat everything in sight because you are so hungry after, it is the best thing ever!
Not only do they not baby you here, they work to your strengths. They know who is strong at what, and they help you not give up.
They have tons of classes here. I started with boxing and never tried any of the other classes yet. Boxing and I love each other:)
When I started, someone said «the warm-​up is 10 minutes of jump rope.» I rolled my eyes. I jumped rope like I was in 4^th grade.
Now, I can do the 3 three-​minute rounds with ease.
When I attended my first class here, I had two other gym memberships. I soon got rid of Bally’s.
This place is perfect for you to get stronger, leaner, push yourself, AND become strong and powerful! (internally and out)
I am a big fan and have definitely found my «thing» after coming to CLUB KO.
