Studio K-O

Expérience fantastique: Been going to this studio, on and off for many years. The classes are SUCH an amazing workout, and you feel welcomed as a beginner or more advanced boxer. The instructors make an effort to tailor the class to each boxer’s level. (Honourable mention to Adam and Fernando but all the instructors are friendly, professional and attentive). KO now offers a few different classes now- BoxFit, Conditioning and Open Bag. Conditioning is my fave for cardio! If you’re a beginner and wondering if this place is for you, don’t hesitate to book a class! If you’re an intermediate or semi-advanced boxer, you will be challenged and motivated!

Expérience fantastique: Just finished my first cardio boxing class here, and it was awesome! This place is perfect for beginner or experienced boxers and is such a great workout. The music kept the energy up, and the instructor Adam is genuinely a nice guy and super motivating. He made everyone feel comfortable and kept things moving at a good pace. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a fun workout with a great vibe!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing boxing studio, great full body workouts that will make you definitely sweat! Also small classes with great 1:1 with the coaches. Definitely recommend

Expérience fantastique: Amazing studio, wonderful staff & a great workout. Nothing but fantastic things to say about Studio KO

Expérience négative: We had a good experience when we were able to go but everything shutdown we had to move out of Toronto. Studio K-O told us on their social network they will refund people and we had to wait and be patient. A few months later after moving we reached out to them letting them know that we had a few hundreds dollars of classes and we still haven’t heard from them. Because we moved, it was impossible for us to go anymore. We noticed that they remove their publication where they informed people they will issue a refund. I don’t recommend this place. If you have an issue, they go silent and walk away. Don’t really care about a specific situation.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing workout! Instructors are energetic, approachable and take the time to correct your form!

Expérience fantastique: I did the King Street location. Thursday at 7:45PM. Geneva was amazing. Great music and great class. My abs hurt :).

Expérience fantastique: Amazing workout! Great combination of boxing, cardio & abs. Geneva’s class is so good.. music is amazing and the time flies! (King st location)

Expérience fantastique: Have tried various box-fit studios across the city and find that Studio KO consistently has the best and most attentive instructors that offer a challenging workout! Love going to Rachael's classes!!!

Expérience fantastique: I've had an awesome experience at Studio K-O! I've basically never thrown a punch in my life but the instructor (Sylvia Kim) took the time to show us the proper form and moves before the class, and the environment is non-judgmental even though there were plenty of experienced members in the class as well. The classes I attended were circuits, and I was sweating buckets, but the high energy of the instructors and the music keeps you going! I'll definitely be back for more :)

Expérience négative: My first class was on Saturday and it was a great experience, Rachael not only took the time to explain the basics of the workout but also to correct whoever was doing them wrong. Customer service was on point and I was very excited to go back. I even convinced a friend to come and try a workout with me and turns out the experience was totally the opposite. From the minute I walked in the girl at the front desk (Marie-Lyn) was absolutely rude, starting from the way she looked at customers to how she treated them. I asked her for a pair of gloves and she threw a pair of size L on the counter without even asking what my size was, not to mention she didn’t even care to ask/offer if I needed hand wraps (which are necessary). The class was overbooked there was barely any space and the instructor (Geneva) didn’t care to correct or guide anyone that was doing the exercises wrong. Looks like her only job was to countdown and tell people “sorry if you hate her” - and to be honest, at the end of the class you kinda do. I had to chase her twice to find out if I was doing the exercise correctly. At the end of the class turns out I was not the only one, my friend complained to me and I overheard a group of girls having the same conversation. End of story is, WILL NEVER go back and I do not recommend others to do so as well. Spend your money wisely and go to a place where they actually have skilled trainers that care for customers not only to get good results but also to go back and not get hurt!

Expérience fantastique: The best boxing studio in the city. The instructors are amazing - they're friendly and really make sure you're doing things right; and the classes are fun but challenging. Could not recommend more.

Expérience fantastique: Really easy to learn and great overall experience. The instructors are good at working with beginners and don't make you feel like an idiot if you've never done a boxing class before.

Expérience fantastique: This studio offers a great workout, super helpful instructors, and a great atmosphere! Regardless if you’re a beginner or advanced boxer, KO provides a fun and challenging workout. Definitely one of my favourite studios in the city!

Expérience fantastique: Great studio & instructors. Very helpful providing instruction to beginners and have the knowledge and expertise to challenge those who are more experienced. Definitely recommend Rachael's class for anyone looking to get in better shape, improve their cardio, work on boxing technique, or just want to go punch something as hard as they can for an hour

Expérience fantastique: Great studio! The instructors make you sweat and help push you to work harder in each and every class. You will definitely leave feeling strong and wanting to come back for more.

Expérience fantastique: Such an awesome studio! Their staff and instructors are so friendly and they work you HARD! Their intro package for new-comers is really great especially if you are new to boxing and need a few classes to figure out if this is something you want to keep training in. I love the variety of classes and how it is different every single week! You will leave a class there feeling amazing and very accomplished!

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely loved this place - best boxing studio in the city hands down. Skilled instructors, addictive energy, and challenging!

Expérience fantastique: Great workout!!!

Expérience fantastique: Great Studio — awesome instructors all around. They do a great job designing their classes with a balanced approach of focussing on boxing technique and conditioning. The instructors focus on helping you improve and aren’t just trying to churn people through. Really appreciate that this studio is in our neighbourhood! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an intense 50 min workout to get or stay in shape. Thanks Studio KO team!

Expérience fantastique: amazing cardio. i've done a few boxing studios and by far the best combination of technical and HIIT workout. actually good for all levels

Expérience fantastique: Best boxing gym in the city and I’ve been to them all. Great instructors, amazing clients and great music. Beginner through fighter it’s a crazy sweat and workout. Always a positive fun time.

Expérience fantastique: Unreal workout. Rachel is an amazing instructor for first time boxers. I've tried other boxing studios, but this one is by far my favourite. Love the energy, class size, and workout. if you haven't tried, definitely give it a go in 2020!

Expérience fantastique: Love this place! HARD workout, loud music, fun atmosphere and really energetic/welcoming instructors. Has quickly become one of my favourite studios to get my sweat on.

Expérience fantastique: Nice boxing class mixed with intense workouts!

Expérience fantastique: I've been going to KO on King St West for 4 years and was excited to see the new location open in the East end. It offers the same killer work-out with the same trainers, all in a brand-new studio. I do Sylvia's class weekly, and every time it's a new workout.. I always leave the studio sweaty and feeling great - I can't say enough about this place! Be prepared to challenge yourself both physically and mentally, and to and learn boxing and fitness techniques from some of the best instructors.

Expérience fantastique: Are you trying to find a place that has fun and exciting instructors, that will challenge you and will leave you feeling accomplished and sweaty ? You’ve come to the right place. Studio K-O hands down is my favorite place for an incredible box-fit workout. Every instructor always comes to class with enthusiasm, and passion that is so motivating and makes you want to push harder than ever. The instructors are extremely helpful and helping me correct my form and very encouraging during the times when I’m almost out of breath which helps me find my second wind. The place is always clean and the design is modern and aesthetically pleasing with accents of red. Front desk and staff I like to add are always super friendly. I highly RECOMMEND this place to help anyone get fit and become a mentally strong beast !!!

Expérience positive: Overall I enjoyed my first class. The Pros: challenging and fun exercises at each station, instructor was very positive and helpful. The cons: the workout could have been more intense, because it was difficult to remember the different exercises moving from station to station, but that's probably because I was not familiar with them as a first-timer.

Expérience fantastique: The Box-Fit class provide a combination of on-the-bag boxing technique and intensive off-the-bag exercises to give the ultimate workout in strength, cardio, agility and power. With coaches and trainers who have actually seen the inside of a ring (some several times over) these next level, high-intensity workouts are coupled with no frills and an all-focus feel. The format of the classes are unlike anything else in Toronto with independent boxing drills at nearly 20 stations, requiring you to draw quickly from the memory bank on the basic 1-6 boxing punches. Prepare to get sweaty and get challenged, because Studio K-O undoubtedly stands up to its “authentic box fit” mantra.

Expérience fantastique: It was my first class today at this location. It’s a great space, super clean and it’s aesthetic is on point. DJ was an awesome teacher and pushed us super hard while motivating and correcting form throughout. Would recommend to everyone! Especially someone that’s looking to get their heart rate up.

Expérience fantastique: Best workout in Toronto! Tara is the greatest instructor, she's been instrumental in my progress.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going semi-regularly (like 1/10 days) for about a year. It’s an amazing workout and I’ve gotten so much stronger. Perfect supplement to the gym in my condo building which kinda makes me lazy. Instructors push you without making you feel awkward /bad about doing modifications. My fav workout of all time. Punch punch!

Expérience fantastique: My absolute fave fave workout of all time. The instructors are super nice and encouraging, and they push you to not give up so you can get the best out of your workout. The classes are always busy so it can get hot in the room, and it's high intensity so make sure you bring a lot of water. You will leave dripping sweat. What I like most about it is that the instructors teach you the combos so you can master them, but then they keep an eye on you during the workout to make sure your technique is correct.

Expérience fantastique: This box-fit studio was an amazing experience! Love this place and their great staff :)

Expérience fantastique: no better workout!!!

Expérience fantastique: It’s a great atmosphere, and the instructors are all so motivational! Rachael’s Wednesday 12pm is my favourite class - she’s an amazing instructor and will help you push through a killer workout!

Expérience fantastique: This is one of my favourite workouts in the city. The classes are intense and the instructors are all fantastic. I walk out of every class feeling so empowered and uplifted.

Expérience fantastique: Great vibes and amazing instructors! Receptionists are super nice :)

Expérience fantastique: Have probably gone to about 40-50 classes so far. Keep coming back because I love it so much. Instructors are probably my favourite part, each has their own personality and ways to motivate (personal favs are Tara, Alison, and Steve). A bit expensive and wish they had a monthly pass option. But hey, worth the investment considering how good I feel afterwards.

Expérience fantastique: Love boxing here. Compared to other studios it’s a smaller class. Also the instructor will look at your form and coach you. The studio is smaller but it’s fine for the work out. Better to bring your own wraps and gloves and make sure you bring water! Great way to get in shape and sweat

Expérience positive: Seemed like good vibes, and people seemed to be excited. Strange waitlist policy, however; they wait until 5 mins after the class has started to give up late comers' spots. Counterintuitive. Will likely not return.

Expérience négative: Reception staff is completely inept and Managing Partner doesn't take ownership for inept staff. I'd been dealing with DJ the managing partner of Studio KO via email planning to get my wife a 20 class pack for her birthday. I followed DJ's instructions to call the front desk (called around 6:30pm) and provide my card to purchase the 20 class pass for my wife. A receptionist answered and i had mentioned that i had been in communication with DJ to purchase the 20 pack. I was ready to give her my visa number when she said that they don't do purchases over the phone only via mind body app or in person . I explained to her that DJ and i had been communicating and that i was just doing what he told me. She took my number and said she would consult with her manager and call me back in under 30 minutes. I got no call. I had to initiate the call after waiting for 2 hours (i called at 8:30). When i called back the same receptionist answered and recognized my voice: "is this Jeremy? Yea we can't do that. You have to come in." Wth. She recognized my voice and didn't even apologize for not calling me back and not even apologetic for not being able to help me. I sent an email to DJ describing my experience 5 days ago and still no response or apology on behalf of his staff. Ironically he was prompt with his communication when i was ready to make a purchase (he was able to respond while driving and while at the hospital). All of a sudden he's MIA. The sad part is that I'm gonna still pay for a class pack since my wife loves their classes.

Expérience fantastique: Great workout with a good sweat! Instructors are great and music is good.
