Today we’d like to introduce you to CKB Fitness. Them and their team share their story with us below:
CKB Fitness and our website totalbodyknockout.com was created out of a need & passion for fitness during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. We found ourselves, like many others, unable to do the things we loved to do, like teach in our gyms, workout, and unite with our fitness family! We found ourselves limited to a virtual world, isolated and distanced from each other. We knew we needed to find a way to feel connected!
Our very first LIVESTREAM was from Christa’s Bonus Room on March 17, 2020, over Facebook Live… and so the story begins! We grew, and are continuing to grow, through trial & error. Learning to livestream, creating different workout formats, building a website, and connecting virtually with people was our goal. Our sequential LIVESTREAMS tell the story well… through COLD temps in the 30’s, driveways, garages, backyards, inviting special guest stars to “the set”, holding virtual TbKO T-shirt days, meeting “Randy” our Tabata timer, adding “Carl” our clock, and meeting in parks week after week bringing TbKO to our local community, growing stronger together!!!
CKB Fitness came from our names Christa, Kathleen, and Bekah and from one of our formats that we love to teach, CardioKickBoxing. Kathleen’s husband saw a lot of promise in what we were doing and purchased a website for us to grow and transition to a more consistent platform. Bekah’s husband Brandon guided us in sound system logistics and Christa’s husband Chris built our set in the garage and bonus room and hence totalbodyknockout.com was born.
We create and choreograph all of our own workouts and categorize them on our website. We trademarked and branded our name and signature format TbkO (TotalbodyKnockOut).
Today we offer four different fitness formats, Tabata, CKB, Totalbody Strength, TbKO and a class called All The Things which includes a mix of different fitness formats that keeps our clients guessing and smiling while working out!
We are so thankful that we have been able to build something out of a dark time and that it has continued to grow and bring people together.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Overall, yes! It’s been a smooth road because we love what we do and have a passion for fitness. Being on a team made perfect sense for us. Anything worthwhile takes work and perseverance and growing our livestreams through our website proved challenging at times.
Instead of livestreaming, we have transitioned to recording and placing our workouts into on-demand catalogs which are readily available for all our clients to access on their schedule. We have learned to pivot and adapt and the challenge has been so rewarding!
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
We create and choreograph all of our own formats and workouts. We specialize in Cardio Boxing, multiple different strength formats including toning and heavy weight lifting, and Tabata. We put a twist and flare and maybe even a costume, on all that we do! We love a theme! Our comradery and different personalities bring a mixture of laughter, passion, motivation, and theatrics that make our workouts unlike any other in the virtual realm.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
