“I have been a chakaboom fitness member for 2 years now. I regularly attend the chakaboom class 3x a week (M-W-F). I enjoy every single class of it. I love it and the reason for this is because it is so much fun (the dances, choreography, moves etc…) . I am so addicted to it so much so I bought the DVD which I take with me every time I travel. This way I don’t miss any class.”

“Chakaboom Fitness changed my life. In January I took a friend up on an offer of a free class I was not sure what to expect. Within 10 minutes of class, I knew I had to come back. Read More

“After months of loving the dance class I gave the toning class a try. I was terrified going on but Leo walked us through it and kept emphasizing go at your own pace. He also made sure I was doing the moves correctly. I was extremely sore after but knew I needed to go back and could go back. A month later I wanted to try chakabar, having done some weight lifting in high school weight training was not a foreign concept to me. After years away from barbells I was a little uneasy, Roberson walked me through the class and kept checking form. With the encouragement of the boys I finally tried kangoo jumps a class I thought I would never be caught in taking in a million years. Saicheko made the class so much fun and a great workout I ended up falling in love with jumps. What impresses me so much about Leo and Roberson is their care and compassion for their students. Since coming to their classes I have lost almost 100 lbs and taken up running half marathons. I never thought I would be able to do any of this. They Chaka team are more then trainers they are friends. They promote healthy lifestyles without being sanctimonious. I look forward to class, it always puts me in a way better mood. I am so thankful to Leo and Roberson for creating such a wonderful program. They encourage going at your pace but will push you.”

“Chakaboom has helped me physically, mentally and emotionally, and I thank you for being an important part of my life! Read More

“I remember joining Gold’s Gym a couple of years ago and taking class there as Roberson and Leo led the class. As a matter of fact, the only reason I went to the gym was to take their class! After they left Gold’s Gym, I eventually stopped going, and also cancelled my membership. Later that year or the next, a friend invited me to take class at the Franconia firehouse, and of course I said I would go, but did not go until another 6 months later! I remember going on a rainy night, not sure what entrance to go, and almost decided that I was not going to go, but the other half of me said, “Let’s do this Kim.” When I walked in, and saw them I was ever so happy! Of course I continued to go and invited family, friends and colleagues who also enjoyed the class. At one point, I was not able to exercise at all due to my back issues.. I had to walk with a cane and get physical therapy. Of course I gained weight and before I knew it diagnosed with type II Diabetes and my doctor wanted me to go on medication because my cholesterol was a little bit high. I begged her to give me a year and check me again. She agreed! Well, I remember going back to class, and I was a little bit afraid because of my back, but pressed on and it felt so good to come back. I changed my diet, continued to take class and a year later – my doctor said NO Meds!!!! Chakaboom has helped me physically, mentally and emotionally, and I thank you for being an important part of my life!”

“All of the instructors bring so much energy, passion, and heart that you will forget you are exercising. While I joke about my Chak-addiction, there is no place I'd rather be! Read More

“Chakaboom fitness has a variety of classes that all have one thing in common - so much fun! Each class will make you sweat profusely, feel utterly exhausted, and experience soreness in muscles you probably forgot you had, all with a huge smile on your face. All of the instructors bring so much energy, passion, and heart that you will forget you are exercising. While I joke about my Chak-addiction, there is no place I'd rather be! Randi C, Ponte Vedra, FL The booty-shakin' music, the fabulous energy and atmosphere, and the never-ending support and motivation of the Chakaboom team keep me coming back (even from 700 miles away!!). Four years ago when I was looking for a group fitness class to join, I tried many Chaka-substitutes and found them all lacking something. They were too easy, too repetitive, and too boring. After my very first class, I knew Chakaboom was different. Roberson and Leo are unbelievably creative in their choreography and intentional in the music they choose. Their routines are so well-balanced - challenging, but not too difficult; fun, but still a tough workout - and the music is a nice mix of genres and styles that will make your body want to move (even when you hear a Chaka-song on the radio in the car or out in public somewhere!). The entire Chakaboom team takes the time and makes the effort to get to know the students in their classes and listen to their thoughts and suggestions. They do everything they can to make sure we have the best and most memorable Chakaboom experience each and every time. Oh, and I can't forget - Chakapeno is the most utterly delicious juice ever made :)”

“Chakaboom would not exist without Roberson and Leo. Yes, we love the music, the choreographies, the location (no mirrors) but Chakaboom is the brainchild, the “baby” of these two talented athletes. Their vision created it. Their kindness and their big hearts keep us coming back for more – in my case, 5 years so far.”
