Condition and Competition Kickboxing

I felt some inhibitions when I tried kickboxing at CCK. It’s mainly because I am the least coordinated person ever. During the first few classes, I felt like Bambi learning how to walk and just stumbling all over the place. What made me come back again and again is the relaxed atmosphere I feel at this gym even though I sweat bullets each class. Punching and kicking things really is therapeutic. The coaches are amazing. So far, I’ve worked with Coach Ed and Darren, and they have been doing a great job providing individual attention to the members. Their encouragement and their enthusiasm only makes me want to roundhouse that bag even harder. This is the first time I’ve committed to a kickboxing gym, and I am glad I chose CCK.

I’ve been through different gyms for the past 7 years. I contacted best fitness to inquire about membership programs, fees, benefits, etc. I worked with Coach Ed Carpio. He was so professional and patient with me. I was unsure if I’d enjoy the gym so he gave me a pass, class schedules and made me feel like there was no pressure at all to join. It was great. After one class days, I knew I wanted to join. Never felt so good after.
Coach Ed Carpio even remembered me when I came in during and asked how it was going. When I contacted him to make my membership official, he was more than helpful and made the process quick and easy.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience and I’m already recommending people to try out the gym like I did. :-) They have excellent coaches on different classes to reach your fitness goals well as all the staff being friendly and professional.
If I can give them more stars, I’ll give it a 100.

CCK is simply an excellent establishment. The coaches bring so much enthusiasm into each class. Their passion for martial arts really shows in their instruction. The staff has also cultivated a very inclusive atmosphere at the classes so that despite its intensity everyone is always very welcoming. There are also a variety of classes focusing on different areas (cardio, technique, weights, etc.), so it’s a rather expansive program. If you want a great workout with fantastic people, I highly recommend CCK.

Every 6am I ask myself WHY?! Why do I do this to myself? How many people really roll out of bed to roundhouse kick the next minute?! Actually, quite a lot of people, but thats not the fact. For the first week, my legs came out all beat it, this is like the 20^th week and my legs are still beat up. But they look like battle scars. LOL. The boo and I love CCK because of strength and conditioning and regular condition/​power kickboxing. They offer lots of morning and after work fun to help destress and get you moving. In strength and conditioning, we lift weights. And our kickboxing days are our cardio days. The boo loves Tuesdays because of Muay Thai.
All the staffs are really nice and warm, but the workouts are STILL intense! Give it your 100 and be ready to be sore the next couple of days! Good luck!
See you tomorrow Coach Ed!

Amazing class for conditioning and kickboxing! Coach Ed is a great teacher, giving individual attention to all his students, even though it is a group class. The warm-​up and drills are tough but exhilarating. Moreover the camaraderie among the students is great, making for an even more fun class. The facility is clean, well-​maintained and welcoming.
I have been going here for about a month now and I can already see the results. I have been to various other gyms but could never keep showing up since the classes used to get repetitive and boring. But not at CCK! Coach Ed’s classes are insanely addictive, making you want to keep coming back for more!
Use the Groupon offer /​Monday’s intro class to get a taste of CCK for yourself! I can bet you will return :)

The best thing that I’ve done fitness wise. All the trainers and people are chill and they don’t care what kind of shape you are, as long as you have the attitude to learn and get better you’ll fit right in. My favorite instructor would have to be coach Ed. He makes the class enjoyable and he pushes you to your limit
I have to admit, I was one of those people who found the groupon for this place and had every intention of letting it expire after the month. This didn’t happen, everyday I went I got like 10 times the workout I got vs going to a regular gym. My advice is keep going after the first week cuz my whole body was sore after that week but it got better. You can’t put a price on your health! Team CCK ftw!

Condition and Competition Kickboxing is a 5 star establishment!
Coach Ed has built a great team at CCK that excels — not only are they professional; they’re knowledgeable, dedicated, passionate, and committed to the sport.
The facility is conveniently located, clean, and welcoming. Everyone (staff + members) is a like a family– friendly, supportive, attentive, and helpful in an motivating atmosphere. Classes are fun yet challenging. Solid full-​body workout and with results you can SEE– it is addictive!

There isn’t enough time in the day to summarize all the reason CCK and the staff there are the best. This truly is a family style gym. Coach Ed has dad jokes for dayssss, if you have a name, he has a nickname for you –you’ve been warned! And don’t go walking in thinking it’s going to be a cool one because you could walk out with a nick name based off some 90s pop star. The workouts at CCK are some of the best I’ve ever had –challenging, fast pasted, fun, and effective! Not to mention the music during workouts! It’s like a hip hop club but with the lights on. There’s also a class for everything: strength training, weightlifting, kickboxing, technique classes, and trust me you will get hooked on all of them! All the staff here are extremely friendly, just don’t forget your gloves or they will make you do push ups to get them back (though I read somewhere they are super easy on you your first time– don’t quote me on it ;)) I would and have recommended this place to everyone I know and it’s definitely worth checking out!

First things first, you will definitely get a good workout here. No slacking at CCK, the classes kick butt. I’d been looking for other activities to change up the boring workout routine and was recommended to come here. I was a bit intimidated at first, but Ed Carpio (owner and coach) made me feel welcome and not so much like a newbie. I like that his classes incorporate some weight and strength exercises as well as doing the intensive kickboxing drills, there’s not a boring minute in class. He’s very energetic and friendly, so this somehow makes the environment comfortable even while you’re sweating your a** off. Highly recommended!

I found CCK through a groupon offer and was skeptical with all the 5-​star reviews however, their Unilocal rating proved to be accurate!
This is a great gym! From the instructors, coaches, to members — everyone is friendly, welcoming and supportive. Classes are fun yet challenging, everyone is encouraged to go at their own comfortable pace. It has been a great therapy as stress relief for me and I always leave looking forward to the next class.
Don’t hesitate, definitely check Condition Competition Kickboxing out!

CCK is awesome! It is always hard when you find a great community knowing you won’t be around for long (I’m only in town temporarily). I highly recommend CCK to anyone looking to train with great people in an inviting atmosphere. One thing to note is that the gym is geared more towards fitness than in-​depth technique work. With that said, I have over 12 years of Muay Thai experience and have learned some new movements since Sanshou is a bit different in technique.
Be ready to sweat and have fun!

I am sorry this took so long but I have been meaning to drop CCK a Review.
To start I had been out of any Gym or real intense physical activity for years. My first day was intense, but motivational. You can really tell that Coach Ed and the staff care about this place and their people. I signed up for a year and am happy to say its one of the best investments i have taken on in some time. My days are filled with more energy, I have lost a good amount of weight and just feel better about myself all around. I can continue to tell you all the great things about this place but you are going to have to experience it for yourself to truly understand. GOOD ENERGY, COOL PEOPLE/​VIBES, MOTIVATION, ACCOUNTABILITY, THE ESSENTIALS.
THANKS CCK!

You won’t find another gym like CCK anywhere, trust me! Condition Competition Kickboxing offers unique workouts that will make you use almost every muscle in your body!
The staff here is friendly and also very accommodating. They’ll work with you to show you how to do specific moves rather than leaving you to it like most gyms!
I originally came here because of the Groupon deal years ago but luckily I was able to take advantage of their 3-​month membership during my career break.
CCK is a great gym that is definitely one of a kind and I highly recommend them!

This place is intense but a whole lot of fun. I guarantee that after your first class you will be sore. Bring your boxing gloves, hand wrap, and a good attitude as while you will regret it 15 minutes in, you’ll want some more. It’s a friendly environment with nice teachers and classmates. They don’t have showers there but they do have changing rooms. Try it for a month via groupon to see how you like it!

I love CCK; this place has become my second home. I’ve never been to another gym with such a welcoming and wonderful environment. All the coaches, especially Coach Ed, are attentive, motivating and encouraging, and they make sure you understand the technique and combos. CCK is great in that it offers a variety of classes, focusing on different aspects of kickboxing. I never get bored and I’m constantly learning new techniques and skills. I especially enjoy Coach Ed’s classes; I always get a great workout and I feel like I can take on the world afterwards :3
The idea of kickboxing used to intimidate me, but I saw a Groupon for a one-​month trial at CCK, took a chance, and signed up. It was one of the best spontaneous decisions I’ve ever made. I enjoyed CCK so much that after that one month was over, I immediately signed up for a year-​long membership and haven’t looked back since. CCK has helped me become more self-​disciplined, confident, and courageous. Plus, the muscles I gained aren’t too bad either.
Long story short, if you’re looking to join a gym, I absolutely, positively recommend CCK. Great environment, great people and great vibes all around.

If you’re still looking for a gym to carry out your New Year’s resolution, sign up with CCK because it is just the place. The idea of signing up for a kickboxing gym was intimidating because I am one huge couch potato, but I couldn’t be any happier with my decision. My friend and I used the Groupon deal for the 30 day trial, and when that ended, we did not hesitate to start a year long membership.
What pushed me into signing up was how extremely friendly and caring everyone was. I’ve been to gyms before, and I always leave after an hour or less due to boredom. Now, I find myself at CCK for over 2 hours after work every day of the week. Personally for me, being with a group of people who genuinely want you to succeed motivates me to keep going and work harder.

As someone who wants a great workout but isn’t all that into typical gyms and being hardcore with weights and conditioning — this place is perfect! More specifically, my private sessions with Coach Ed are one of the best workouts I’ve ever had. He’s a super dedicated, knowledgable, and patient trainer which is perfect for someone like me who comes from a Pilates background. He’s super specific about taking things at YOUR pace and only making you do things that will push you but won’t break you. He also focuses a lot on technique and can incorporate a self defense angle to the workout which is always a plus!
Not only that but he is one of the nicest and friendliest people I’ve ever met, which is exactly the vibe you want when you’re going to be dedicating hours of training with him.
I definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking to get into kickboxing — one lesson with him and you’ll be addicted!

I joined this gym about a week and a half ago with no prior knowledge of or experience with kickboxing. I get pretty bored at the regular gym, and I’m usually not big on taking classes. However, I wanted to try something new, and kickboxing seemed like a good alternative for me. I guessed right! Since I’m still new, every class presents new challenges, but I like it more and more each time. After only a few classes I can already feel my body getting stronger, so I’m excited to see how I feel and look as I keep on going.
Coach Ed is truly who got me interested in trying out kickboxing. After leaving him a voicemail, he called me back within a few hours and got me SO pumped to try it out. Trying something new can be pretty intimidating, but I was genuinely excited after talking to him. These classes are definitely kicking my butt, but that’s the goal! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a new and fun way to work out. You won’t regret it!

I hate the regular gyms. Treadmill and workout machines are super boring to me. I love working out where you are actually moving and using your own body weight like dancing, kickboxing, rock climbing, pretty much anything not static.
I was able to try out CCK through a groupon and I am so glad I had that chance. Going to a new kickboxing gym can be a little overwhelming to some newbies like myself, but everyone’s so friendly and welcoming! The classes kicks major butt, and you are really getting such an awesome workout. Coach Ed is always so energetic and pushes you to do more.
I like how it has such a family friendly environment and they do a lot of get togethers. I am definitely signing up after my groupon expires, and I’m looking forward to new additions and improvements coming along.

My Mondays (and the work week) always start off with a bang because I get to start them off with Coach Ed, who I am currently taking one-​on-​one private kickboxing classes with at Condition and Competition Kickboxing. I can’t compare these with the group class experience, but Coach Ed really made an effort to reach out to me and get to know me, my fitness goals, and my reasons for wanting to jump into kickboxing as a complement to my usual workout routine. He is encouraging but doesn’t let me get away with taking it easy, and with his help (and a lot of push ups) I’ve really been able to challenge myself and push my limits.
I come primarily from a yoga background, so I have a huge appreciation for Coach Ed’s emphasis on technique. I’ll pepper him with questions about the smallest nuances of a punch or a kick, and he’s great about explaining things patiently and demonstrating and helping me until I get it. I’ve also seen a marked increase in my overall strength, which has made a significant difference in my yoga practice.
Beyond the stellar quality of Coach Ed’s instruction, the space here is very clean, with all of the equipment neatly stacked and a killer sound system. You can tell that Coach Ed takes a lot of pride in the space and community he’s created here — and from the very first day and first conversation with him, he’s been nothing but welcoming and inclusive.
What has been most meaningful to me — I feel like I and my personal goals matter here! You don’t have to be training to go pro or even amateur to get attention from Coach Ed. He really goes out of his way to bring you into the fold and work with you to achieve your goals.
Humdrum but important stuff:
— The schedule of classes here should work for most people who are local, even those who work eight-​hour-​a-​day jobs, especially if you can suck it up and get here for the 6:15am morning kickboxing class. They also have evening classes and one lunchtime class.
— There are a variety of classes available: conditioning, kickboxing, strength building, etc.
— There’s plenty of parking and CCK is easy to find — look for the sign/​logo out front.
— The entrance is through the front of the building.
— Make sure you bring your own water — there’s no available fountain here.
As someone without a martial arts background and is new to kickboxing, I’d highly recommend CCK if you’re looking for a great whole-​body workout and general conditioning and strength-​building.
