CKS Martial Arts International

I have tried the Intro to Kickboxing and ended up doing the Advanced Combat Kickboxing right after, both were not only challenging but rather fun. I highly enjoy the Kick Fit. Its a great workout with an instructor that pushes you to your limits and then some. I will definitely will keep going to the Kick Fit and I recommend to give it a try if you are looking for a workout that pushes you as well as having the friendly environment and at a very great price at only $ 10 per session. It’s definitely worth a try.
Pros:
Extremely friendly environment
Small group size
$ 10
The instructor is understanding with working with you, as he did with me since I’m new to kickboxing.
They have boxing gloves and other items you can use, but I must warm you, the boxing gloves really stink so bring your own if you can, otherwise your hands will smell and believe me. they really stink but they are there if/​when you need them.

I LOVE this place. It’s a friendly, no pressure atmosphere. It is appropriate for all ages, fitness levels, men and women. There are beginners and advanced kickboxing classes for those who want to learn great technique and martial arts skills. There are also fitness kickboxing classes that include body weight and abdominal exercises for those who want to get a cardio workout and tone their muscles. CKS is the perfect place to relieve stress, increase your coordination, flexibility, strength, stamina and have fun while doing it! But beware … it’s addicting!

It’s unusual for this type of gym to make even beginners, women who believe they are out of shape or the most accomplished athletes all feel comfortable. They are willing to help everyone meet their personal goals. It’s also cool that many teens work out there and are learning to feel good about themselves as their skills and fitness grow. Hector, Bethany, and Leah all put a lot into it – changing it up frequently to keep things fresh and fun! Santa Rosa is lucky to have such a great gym – near downtown and easy to access. The price is right and scheduling works.

I would highly recommend CKS. I have taken their combat kickboxing classes as well as their cardio kickboxing classes. If you want to take a class that is more technique based then try out there Kombat Kickboxing class which is at 5pm for beginners. Hector teaches it and he is awesome! Im a woman and I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Or if you would like a change from the boring gym then try out their cardio kickboxing class called Kick Fit! It is taught by women and they do a complete full body work out. The cardio kickbox class they used the heavy bags and we got to punch with boxing gloves which was fun then we did ab/​core work and also lower body exercises. We had fun and I felt like I got a great work out! Kick Fit is on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm. I will definitely go back to both Kombat Kickboxing and Kick Fit!

This is an amazing martial arts/​boxing/​all around fitness gym with wonderful staff!
There are multiple types of classes that go really well together as a fitness/​serious training program but could also just be taken individually.
The Kick-​Fit cardio classes are taught by amazing women. Leah and Bethany are excellent instructors!!! My favs! The class is really unique, challenging, fun and perfect for women looking for a really powerful kick-​box cardio and total body workout. It’s a refreshing class because it breaks out of that mold of traditional boring aerobics and really works on true endurance and body conditioning –I recommend it for all levels of fitness. The pricing is super reasonable and doable as a bonus!
The specific interest training classes taught by the phenomenal expert, Hector Solis are amazing. He leads boxing, beginner’s kick-​boxing, combat kick-​boxing and Kali sessions. The classes have transformed me both physically and mentally. Hector is a trainer that really cares about the individual goals and potential of his students/​trainees. Not only that, but he teaches practical self-​defense in all of his classes as well. I feel the most confident and powerful in my own strength then I ever have! I love CKS!
I highly recommend CKS and Kick-​Fit for serious athletes, those training for amateur and professional fights and especially anyone at any level of fitness looking for something new and fun to transform their workouts! All are welcome and the setting is welcoming and relaxed!
