SEATTLE, July 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — People in Seattle have lost weight, gained muscle and have more stamina in the one year since CKO Kickboxing Seattle opened its doors in Shoreline, WA.

Garett and Jessica Renon have worked fast and hard to get to where they are today.  As owners of CKO Kickboxing – Seattle, located at 15901 Westminster Way in Shoreline, they have created a space where sweat, high energy and fun are a daily occurrence.  It’s only fitting that when their one-year Anniversary came, they “go big or go home” as they offer special fitness classes and promotions.

Saturday, July 13, 2013 will mark CKO Seattle’s anniversary.  To celebrate the occasion, the community can participate in a special 1½-hour class with multiple trainers teaching and a DJ to pump up the music. There will be giveaways and exciting specials.

The past year has been a dream come true for the franchisees of the high quality, cross training gym that provides a family friendly setting to Seattle residents and northern suburban Seattle residents who are looking for an alternative to Pilates, yoga, martial arts, cross-fit and spinning classes.

“It all started in New Mexico in 2009 when two people met, fell in love and a dream was born. She was in the Navy. He was working for the Department of Defense.  Just three years later, they had moved to Seattle, she was at a new station and he was living his dream as the franchisee for CKO Kickboxing. 

CKO Kickboxing was originally formed in Hoboken, NJ in November, 1997 by Joseph Andreula.  He designed and created the intense workout, which was the first of its kind. CKO became so popular, that by 2004, nine additional locations opened throughout New Jersey and New York. Today, CKO has 40 locations from Seattle to San Diego to South Carolina to the tri-state New York metro area. CKO has been recognized in countless national fitness magazines and television programs such as NBC’s “The Today Show.”
