Once a great studio. Currently during Covid they operate illegally. Only registered gyms can operate under various Ontario organizations. Further more they do 1on1 pad work. This violates the 2 meter social distancing rule that applies to all personal trainers in the province. Even legal registered boxing gyms can’t do pad work. This is why the government allowed them to open. They post the pad work on social media. It’s a slap in the face to gyms who listen to the rules.

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.
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!
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 :)
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!
