| - I've reviewed the Horizon Drive location but recently started coming here more after moving a mile down the road. This gym is spotless and the atmosphere is as far from "gym-like" as any fitness club can be. Three treadmills and two ellipticals serve as your cardio equipment on which you complete 15 minute sessions guided by their chief fitness officer on an mp3 player.
An all-in-one weight lifting machine guides you through the strength part of your workout, almost like a video game that's very easy to learn and play! Your first strength test measures your strength and range of motion and thereafter workouts are loaded on to a USB for your future completion. The screen on the weight machine tells you exactly how many reps, how much weight, and which exercises to complete, taking all of the guesswork out of going to the gym for those of us who aren't very gym savvy.
The USB keeps track of your goals and progress and doing a fit check every so often lets you see if and how much you're improving your eBMI.
What I love: the atmosphere. Feels more like a spa or a luxurious home gym than a fitness center. No mirrors; no rows and rows of machines that I don't know how to use; the ease of the workouts and how I don't have put any amount thought into "planning" or executing my workout; the friendly staff; the cleanliness and never wondering "was this machine cleaned before I started using it?"; the community feel; the ease of committing to something that is such a no-brainer; etc.
What I don't love: the price. $79 a month is expensive and, despite my commitment to and love for this place I've considered letting my membership go when my year is up and taking my chances with a traditional gym that's 15 bucks a month. The music. There is a random mix and sometimes the songs are upbeat and energizing. Other times they are draining and not motivating. I LOVE music and I am so driven by it. But it's hard to lift weights or do cardio to, let's say, Coldplay, LOL. I wish they'd go back to the drawing board with their satellite radio contract.
Overall I'd say if you're looking for a workout routine that is super easy to stay on track with, a gym that is inviting with staff that is welcoming and friendly, and have a few extra dollars to spend on your goals, Koko can definitely be for you. There's usually a groupon that is a steal for a month's membership. Check it out and you'll see why this is a great gym alternative!
