Koko FitClub of W. Roxbury MA

Ya ya, haven’t been going long but… I do like this place. The good parts 1) The employees have been good and seems like many started as clients. 2) You do get individual assessments and training, on the machine. 3) You can come and go, do your thing and be gone. The bad part for me is the constant switching up of the machines. It’s all about the calibration, so if it’s not set just right then the whole exercise is off. Personally I would rather do sets of the same exercise with rest in-​between, and then switch it up and move on.

I hate to tell others because I want to keep Koko to myself, but if you are looking for a clean, friendly gym then this is it. At first I thought the weights were low and the cardio was not hard enough. I was wrong! I am getting a serious workout and seeing major results. I love this gym!

Let me start off by saying that I’m still fairly new to Koko (been here about 4 months, really have only used it for 2, consistently for 1) but I can’t say enough about it. I’m a young guy who admittedly had no idea what he was doing the first day he walked in. Other than a few failed attempts at joining a gym or establishing a running routine, my fitness activity has been rather nonexistent. But since I began working next door, I figured I’d give this a shot and I was pleasantly surprised.
My favorite thing about Koko is that it takes out all of the guesswork. I knew I’d be lost going to a gym and I didn’t want to pay big $$$$$ for a personal trainer just to get me started. Koko customized just about everything for me, and I don’t have to guess how to use the machines. It definitely takes away some of the anxiety about gym life. Also, there’s very little «gym intimidation» here. Koko has a very diverse customer base. I’ve seen men and women, young and old, some that look like they’ve been lifting professionally, others who are clearly just getting started but it doesn’t matter. No one is going to care because we’re all just there to try and improve ourselves and reach our goals.
The actual exercises are rather short but I do feel like I get a very sufficient workout from them. The gym itself is composed of 3 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, and 4 – 5 strength trainers. It is a bit small so if it’s busy, it might be tough to grab the machine you want but I’ve never had much of a problem with it being too busy. I typically go early in the morning. They told us that member hours are 5:30 AM to 11 PM but I’ve seen and gone myself at 4 in the morning and I don’t think it’s a problem. That’s by far my favorite time to work out, after I wake up and it’s better when it’s not full. I’m still pretty new to this Koko thing but if I can drag my ass out of bed and get myself here, then it must be doing something right. I’ve never had more motivation than I do with Koko.
The only drawback I’d say Koko has is that there are no showers or anything like that. As someone who often has to be to work very early in the morning, it would be really convenient if I could go straight to work from the gym and not have to go home to shower first. Also, it can feel a little cramped at times, but it’s still a fantastic gym for me and I find the price reasonable ($ 69/​month student rate) considering what I am getting out of it.

I have been Koko-​ing since May 2013 and I can’t express how much I love it! I was extremely active years ago, but over the last few years it became increasingly difficult for me to get to the gym and dedicate 2+ hours a day in order to see results. Koko fixed that for me. The workouts are short, 30 minutes for strength and 15 minutes for cardio. I am in and out in 45 minutes! And it works! The programs are customized to you. All you have to do is plug your key in and the exercises, weights, and pace are already chosen! If you are sick of the typical gym scene and want to see results, then I highly recommend you stop at Koko.

I joined Koko Fit a few weeks ago. I have been exercising for decades, sometimes motivated, sometimes not. Until joining Koko, during the last several months I had almost no motivation. I got together with a former personal trainer who is a friend, and he suggested Koko. Now I can’t stay away! I like everything about it– the atmosphere, the extremely friendly and helpful people who work there, the machines and the concentration they demand are completely engaging. I like that I can see on line what my next work out is. In a few weeks the strength training has me feeling stronger and tighter in places I had forgotten about :) I am also more motivated to do cardio than ever, often doing doubles session because they are simply enjoyable. It is one of those places where success begets success. I enjoy it, I feel better, I want to go as much as possible. Even in a busy day there can be no excuse not to do at least a 15 minute cardio session. If you are bored with exercise, this is a must. I haven’t felt this good in a long time. Last night at dinner I was in such high spirits my friends teasingly asked if I were on drugs. I answered, absolutely– the Koko Fit drug!

I joined Kokofit about a month ago. I am a person who hates exercise. Never been able to sustain a fitness program. until Koko. I spent insane amounts of money on monthly memberships at gyms I never actually went to. This place is a gift to those of us who do not know what to do when they get to a gym, and can’t spend a fortune on a personal trainer.
Combined with changing my eating habits I lost almost 20 lbs. The amazing thing is with the cute little USB device they give you, you can weigh yourself every time you work out, and actually make sure that you are gaining muscle, burning fat and lowering your eBMI.
When you join, you get a personalized cardio and strength training program that actually replaces the personal trainer. No more standing in front of weights wondering what to do, how much weight to lift and how many reps. The program remember your selections, and next time challenges you by increasing the weight or reps. No data to write down, nothing to remember… simple and amazing. And if you are a data freak like me– you’re in luck– you get your own website that tracks your workouts, your muscle gain, your eBMI and even provides a healthy diet.
This place is great, and the staff and West Roxbury is so cute. Everybody knows your name and they are amazingly motivating. The place is small and intimate and I love coming here.
I recommend KokoFit whole heartedly to people who are motivated by data and love seeing results.
Finally– This gym is for people who want to get in, get their workouts done, and get out. If you are looking to socialize or join group classes– this is not the place for you.

Koko Fitclub is the best thing to hit the world of fitness! I am one of those people that always signs up to some gym and never go because I can’t make myself or just dont know what i’m doing when working out on my own. Koko has changed all of that. The smarttraining technology customizes a strength work out to your body and strength abilities and can be geared towards any goal you want to achieve – weight loss, muscle strength, physical health, and many more. andddd IT TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO! It takes the suffering and confusion out of working out, and it only takes 30 minutes!
Koko also offers cardio done either on a treadmill or elliptical and is always a quick 15 minute workout. You can pick from a wide variety of workouts all of which guide you via an mp3 player, from beginner low intensity to very tough high intensity workouts.
Ever since I started, I haven’t been able to stop. I’ve been going almost every day! The machine tells you your pace accuracy, and has a point system that makes me strive to get the best results I can. Also, the staff creates small competitions within each location with incentives like t-​shirts and towels which make you also want to go that much more. The owner and staff of this location are very friendly and helpful and know everyone by name!
I could talk about this place all day. Safe to say i’m completely addicted, or what koko calls a koko-​nut. I got my mom to join and I would recommend this to anyone any age. from teenager to grandparent!
If you’re looking for a safe, fun, and easy way to work out — Koko is the place!
