    I can't say enough good things about CKO. It's an awesome and motivating environment without being intimidating. The class structure will allow you to go at your own pace if you're just starting off, or really push yourself to your fitness goals without "plateauing." The trainers are all lovely and each bring their own style and structure - I like mixing classes up between them. The staff is always friendly and welcoming and the environment is kept very clean. I highly recommend CKO to anyone interested. I don't know where I'd be without them!

    This is the best exercise/training that you can have. I would not change it for any other gym. The trainers/staff are very good, friendly and keep you motivated. You really need to try it out.

    CKO JC has always been nothing short of amazing and my second home! I have been a member for over 5 years now. I stopped for a few months and then came back because I missed it so much! Classes are fun but challenging and you are always being pushed to your limit! It’s a great place for all ages and levels of fitness! Staff is incredible and the newly renovated space is super clean and really an enjoyable and safe place to workout in, especially during these times!

    I started training with Charles back in September 2020 and everything has been great. We began with setting goals, and he immediately explained what we needed to do to achieve them. He has endless information and knows exactly what to do and how. We achieved my set goals and are continuing to progress onto the next stage. I'd recommend him for sure!

    Love CKO Jersey City! I've been a member for the past 4 years, and you feel AMAZING after every class. The entire staff is extremely friendly, the trainers are awesome - the studio has been newly renovated and is squeaky clean and sanitized after every class. People of all ages, genders, fitness levels are challenged at their own pace. The trainers push you to your limits and help you work on your technique and perfecting your form!

    First thing first: they give you a great workout! However, a lot of place can do that. For me, they're conveniently located, and they're professionally managed. During the pandemic, they showed that they see their customers as assets rather than money to be milked. They didn't hold people to their normal membership commitment, they offered online classes for those that wanted to participate, they allowed people to restart their old membership terms when they could reopen in person, there are no petty COVID fees, they take hygiene precautions (eg. enforcing mask requirements, cleaning the mats, spacing out bags, etc.) and they're generally well run.

    Ever since I joined CKO, my fitness routine has changed completely. My body started getting better and flexible. It not only helps me keeping fit but also a great source of mental well being. All the coaches are amazing. The environment is energetic and super clean. I would highly recommend CKO. Just give it a try and I’m sure it will become a habit. Cheers 🥂

    my husband and i joined CKO a year ago, and have had a great experience. The coaches are motivating and help you if you need it, not to mention it’s a GREAT workout. Plus, you can always go at your own pace. The gym is clean, and everything is run through their app which makes signing up for class so easy. Not to mention, there are classes in the morning, midday and after work. Would definitely recommend regardless of your level of kick-boxing experience.

    After walking by the CKO Jersey City location for months, I finally decided to sign up for the 2-week trial last year. My only regret is that I did not join earlier! The kickboxing classes are challenging and always leave me more energized than when I came in. They offer times that fit into everyone’s schedule and the new 5:45AM classes on Tuesday/Friday by Christian are a great way to start the day before having to go to work. All the CKO instructors (Too many to name each individually but all are amazing!) have their own unique style, bring tons of energy to the class and take the time to show the proper form. You will never get bored because each class will incorporate different moves/exercises. The staff at the front desk are always friendly and willing to help with any questions or assistance you need. They help to create a great experience as you enter the class. Once you are in the class, working out with others provides that motivation to push yourself harder. In the year that I have been a member, I have not had a bad class and my energy level has picked up immensely. I would definitely recommend stopping by for a class if you are interested in getting a fun and full body workout. Once you take a class, you will be hooked and looking forward to your next class. Thanks Charlie and team!

    I recently had the pleasure of spending nine days in New Jersey, and being a fitness enthusiast, I knew I wanted to maintain my workout routine despite being on the road. That's when I found CKO Kickboxing, and let me tell you, it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip! I attended as many classes as I could fit into my schedule during my stay, and each one exceeded my expectations. The variety of the classes kept things fresh and exciting - no two workouts were the same, which I absolutely loved. What struck me most about CKO Kickboxing was the phenomenal blend of rigorous exercise and sheer fun. The trainers' enthusiasm was infectious, making me push harder and get the most out of each session. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about what they do, creating a positive and energetic atmosphere that inspired everyone in the room. The workouts themselves were excellent, combining elements of strength training, cardio, and of course, kickboxing techniques. Even as a visitor, I felt my strength and endurance improve over the short time I was there. I left each class feeling exhilarated and accomplished, looking forward to the next one.

    CKO has been life changing experience for me. I joined CKO after trying out 3 classes first and I loved each and every session. I have been regular to CKO session for past 2 months and I can see physical changes in myself and feel stronger than ever before. Coaches and staff are super helpful and energetic. I want to make special mention to our coach Charlie whose session are probably most intense but I love it more than anything. Other coaches including John, Stephanie, Cristian & Dean are also my favorites. I would strongly recommend anyone looking to get in shape and also enjoy workout without getting bored with monotonous routine, this place is for you. Sooner than you realize you will be addicted to these CKO sessions and your body will take you to classes without you realizing. CKO Fan forever ♾️

    BEWARE OF DOING THE CHALLENGE!!!!! Lots of hidden details in the contract that they don’t tell you upfront. Even when signing the contract the sales person was kind of pushy and I thought to myself to give it a try still. After doing the 16 week challenge, I wanted to cancel as I will be moving out of state, I requested to cancel my membership through email, they said I had until the 26th to email back and I was charged on the 17th. Sent me a long email that was hard to decipher and just overall scammy and not transparent.

    I can't say enough positive things about this place and staff! John is so welcoming and is very helpful during his class if needed. Charlie is a beast and pushes you to your limits in the best way possible. Brian is so encouraging and makes sure you're always on point. Dave is also great! I haven't had the pleasure of taking all coaches yet but I've only heard good things so far and look forward to taking their classes as well! The workouts that you get with each of the trainers are full body workouts from the second class starts to the second it ends. As tough as they are, I really look forward to going. I have been a member for about 2 months now and I am noticing myself getting stronger by the day. I even feel more energized after classes and feel more encouraged to eat healthier as well! Before joining, I had a goal of getting into the best shape of my life this year. With the progress that I have been making so far because of CKO, I don't have any doubt that I will reach my goal.

  • 5/5 Sarah K. 8 months ago on Google
    I'm a longtime runner who was looking for a workout experience that was more engaging and would help me improve my overall fitness. I found that in CKO, and it has far and away exceeded all of my expectations. It's incredibly challenging but makes working out enjoyable, and the instructors are motivating and fun to be around. I feel stronger than ever and am so glad I found CKO! Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Geraldine R. 8 months ago on Google
    I have been personally training with Charlie at CKO Jersey City for over a month now and I have seen a tremendous amount of improvement. Not only have I seen physical results, but I also have learned things that I can continue doing when I work out on my own. I went from having low confidence, barely being able to lift, to being more confident with myself and squatting more than I could have ever imagined! Coach Charlie is so very motivating, friendly and knowledgeable. He answers any questions I have when it comes to fitness and explains why we do any exercise. The program that we follow is designed for my needs and goals, my body, my age and ability to execute the exercises but also to keep me motivated and challenged. It has been one of the most rewarding activities I do. I recommend personal training with Charlie at CKO Jersey City to anyone who wants to invest in themselves. It is so worth it!

  • 5/5 Ylfa P. 9 months ago on Google
    I never knew I would fall in love with kickboxing this much. I used to think CKO was only for guys but little did I know, it's truly for everybody!!! It all starts when you first walk in. The friendly welcomes and greetings. Great training and introduction for first-timers and free trial class. I did the $99 Kickstart and in 3 weeks I was hooked and signed up for a year. The trainers are absolutely awesome, Charlie, John, Dave, Juliana, Karen, Sarah, Christan, the list is way longer and I have yet to meet a trainer or take a class I didn't love. I recommend CKO to everybody. You'll fit right in, no matter your age, fitness level or goals. We all start somewhere, at CKO I am making new friends while taking care of my body and my overall health. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner.

    Hell to the YEAH. I love this place. Super welcoming with intense workouts. Everyone was so nice! I will definitely be back

  • 5/5 Rajan P. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome gym, the classes really push you and the staff is super friendly. Every trainer runs their class in their own way, but you get a killer workout no matter whose class you attend. They keep the place really clean and clean up after every session. The sessions accommodate most 9-5 schedules and usually have some afternoon class as well. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to get in shape!

  • 5/5 Shivam A. 1 year ago on Google
    It's been almost 5 months I have been training at CKO. great experience. The best part is different trainers bring something different in their coaching. Most of them go deep into the technique while all make it a point to push the limits of the trainees. Any suggestion could be if something could be done to imitate the actual combat experience every now and then

  • 5/5 Alyssa P. 1 year ago on Google
    Joining CKO Jersey City was easily the best decision I made this year. The entire staff from the wonderful team members who always greet you with a smile at the desk to the instructors, everyone is amazing! I love how each instructor brings their own personality and unique dynamic to each class making every class exciting. Stephanie is so welcoming and motivating with the best playlist that keeps the energy up all class long!

  • 5/5 Paul S. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love CKO and would recommend it to anyone. Charlie, Steph, Karen (just to name a few) are so energetic and make every class an amazing time. All the trainers are amazing though and I've never had a bad class. Since joining my physical endurance and mental health have both increased. Thank you CKO!

  • 5/5 Paul 1 year ago on Google
    I've been going to CKO Jersey City since 2019 and they are absolutely phenomenal. Location is right near the Grove Street Path station. The class times are always super convenient - whether you have time in the AM, lunchtime, or evening. All the instructors are awesome; full of energy and will get you motivated. My personal favorite is Charlie but they are all fantastic. The studio is always clean and has a great energy. I highly recommend CKO; I started out with a Groupon and now am now a proud member. Thanks CKO!

  • 5/5 Ashley Nicole B. 1 year ago on Google
    I really love this Gym! The staff and trainers are fantastic. John was the first person to welcome me when I first stepped foot into the gym, and he has been such a great trainer and friend ever since. Charlie is an amazing coach, I love taking his 7am morning classes. Alma, is a total beast. I love her Friday classes. All of these trainers mentioned will put you to work, and help you change your body. Sky is so wonderful at the front desk. Everyone is a joy to be around. I have been seeing my body transform these past 9 months, and I am loving these results. I go about 6 days a week now, and I feel stronger and stronger everyday. If you want to try this gym out, don’t think about it, just do it, and be consistent. You will see results. You won’t regret it.

    I have been a member of CKO since 2020. It is one of the BEST in Jersey City. The classes are fun, energetic and you can learn at your pace. They have great instructors, each one of them bring their own style and teach new techniques. They keep you motivated and push beyond your limits. And the gym is clean and maintained very well. I moved of the city recently and I really miss going to CKO! Highly recommend this place.

😠 This place does not care about the safety of women. I’ve been going to this gym for almost 3 weeks (4-5x a week, btw) and have noticed that the men there are pushy and seem to enjoy getting the way of women. Fine, I can ignore that and get my quick workout in and leave. It’s the best option in my ar...
