Koko’s is not a bad place to work out. However the one in Carmel just out of the blue closed their doors. Call corporate to get my account canceled they gave me and email and phone number to the owners and I never heard back. Corporate says they are not responsible. I will never work out at any Koko’s again.

Ok, I love this place. It’s sort of like a personal trainer, but you don’t have to meet with someone each time you work out. You go in and do an intake appointment with a trainer, and they get you set up for the workout program you want based on your goals(lose weight, build muscle). You get a USB fob loaded with your information. Every time you come in, you get on the fitcheck machine — like a scale, but it doesn’t tell you your weight, just your lean muscle mass and an eBMI. Then you hop on a cardio machine for 15 minutes, then move over to the smarttrainer machine. It’s like all of the weight machines at the gym but in one spot, so you don’t have to get up and move around or wait for someone to be done with it. There’s a screen that tells you what exercise to do, how to set the machine(seat height, which accessory to add if necessary, etc.), and how much weight to use. If you put the weight in the wrong spot, it dings and flashes red so you know to fix it. If it’s a new exercise, it guides you through setting your range of motion first. Then you do the set and have to follow the pace it shows on the screen … sort of like a video game. ;) You get koko points for each activity — 500 for each 15-min cardio session, and up to 1000 points per strength workout. You have to do your strength program exactly as shown on the screen(weight used, keeping on pace with what it shows you on the screen, the right number of reps), and if you do, that’s a «perfect» workout … They keep a leaderboard of the most points earned in a week, most cardio sessions, distance traveled, etc. as a little friendly competition. I always try to get on the leaderboard in one category each week. When you earn 50,000 points, you get to go from a white lanyard(newbie) to orange. You can go in during staffed hours if you want/need to talk to a trainer, or you can get a 24-hour access key so you can go whenever you want. When you finish your program, you can go in during staffed hours to have them load the next program for you, or you can drop it off and leave it overnight. Totally easy. The programs increase in intensity as you go based on how you’re performing. In a 24-workout program, you do a strength test as your 12th workout and it adjusts halfway through. I’ve had a 31% strength gain in just a couple of months, I feel great, my clothes fit well, and I can see my triceps for the first time probably ever! I love that I can just pop my USB key into the machine and it tells me what to do — I don’t even have to think about it. No standing around trying to figure out which machine to go to next, waiting for someone else to finish their set, not knowing how much weight to add. They have locations in Fishers, Noblesville and Carmel. Check them out!
