KO Boxing & Fitness

KO Boxing & Fitness is a boxing gym in Manhattan, Kansas, that has been open since 1999 and calls itself the Little Apple's longest running fitness center. It offers general fitness classes for kids and adults, boxing classes for women, personal training, and a competitive boxing team. The gym's fighters have won 11 national titles, and it counts Silver and Golden Glove champions among its ranks.

All classes are non-contact, and the first class is free, so walk-ins are welcome. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early for your first visit to sign a waiver, have your hands wrapped and learn your stance. The gym supplies the equipment, so you only need athletic clothes and water. Text or email is the best way to reach the coaches or set up a call, and staff speak Spanish.
