👍👍 I have been here for about two months now. These kickboxing classes are the ONLY thing keeping me sane. It's given me a purpose and it's redirected my path of life. Someone warned me that it can be very tolling and to make sure I try it out before I commit (which the location did anyway) and guess... People often mention Family, Fitness, kids, family, Master, daughter, love, program, classes, great,

    I have been here for about two months now. These kickboxing classes are the ONLY thing keeping me sane. It's given me a purpose and it's redirected my path of life. Someone warned me that it can be very tolling and to make sure I try it out before I commit (which the location did anyway) and guess what? I was hooked. Despite working out for 45 minutes straight, you leave feeling refreshed and energetic. During my time there, there was a kids summer camp, to which they informed me that when the summer camp is over, we'd be able to stay for like 15 minutes more to squeeze in our own workouts or whatever, which I'm totally looking forward to as well. The people, the atmosphere. The longer you're here, the more they feel like family. Don't be scared to talk to people, odds are, they wanna' talk to you too! I personally attend the morning classes due to my work schedule. I have no clue how I lived without this class, but now that it's in my life, I never want to be without it again. Thank you so much, Family Fitness MMA!!

    My 5 year old son is a member of Family Fitness K and really enjoys going to class as he learns new techniques every session. Not only are the sessions great but the staff here are wonderful! Master Mike and everyone else makes you feel like family. They are very attentive with the children and have great communication skills with them when they are not paying attention. They know how to make everyone feel welcome and always there to answer all my questions. They have many events that brings family together which is why I am glad that my son and I are part of this wonderful place. Recently my son had his 5th bday party here and Master Mike and Jerry were a big part of his celebration as they had each children participate in tug of war, dodgeball, and my baby boy broke a piece of wood with his hand and knee which the children found astonishing! My son was able to hold a real life sword as well. Overall, great place, great people and its all about FAMILY!

    Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing has been an amazing experience! I signed my daughter up for the 6-week trial and we loved it! We are now full members, Master Vinh and Master Mike are amazing with the children! I've seen the focus and confidence that it has given my daughter. We truly love it here!

    Our son has been attending karate classes since October and we have noticed a significant improvement since. The instructors and staff are friendly and welcoming. Master Mike and Master Vinh are thorough in teaching technique and discipline while instilling respect and self confidence. Our son’s favorite part is the games or races played at the end of class. You can really see the excitement on the kids’ faces. True to their name, there is a sense of family and they invite parents to get involved during parents and me classes. Highly recommended.

    We started more then six months ago and it was for my son to help him focus. During the time we also put our daughter into the program. They are doing great and they love karate. Master Vinh and the rest of his staff are very nice. Always greeting when you arrive. My children learn so much from the program also, they do different events with the children and their families which is amazing. Overall the program is great and I recommended any body to come and join.

    The name of this place says everything about them. It is a great place to learn and master Karate and Kickboxing. The Masters and staff created an environment that is supportive, safe and feels like second family to us. My son started at Family Fitness a little over 2 years ago, then I joined right after him and my wife joined. The benefits we are experiencing as a family and individually are GREAT: Body and Mind!!! Our daily routine has one thing we don't miss: Kickboxing at Family Fitness! Now they have two locations in Jersey City: The Heights and Downtown.

    My daughter joined Family Fitness the summer of 2018, from that day until present day she has improved tremendously!!!! She believes in herself, she has self confidence, and she is willing to take risk!! Not to mention the friends that she has made. It’s no wonder this business is called “Family Fitness”. Not only does she attend kickboxing classes, she also is apart of the aftercare. The staff is very reliable and helpful. I truly recommend this kickboxing school to everyone!!

    We have been loyal attendees of Family Fitness Karate for 2 1/2 years. Mr. Jerry is an amazing, patient teacher and he clearly loves what he does — help children have stronger cores, can defend themselves all while teaching them solid principles. I know my child is safe when she’s under the care of the Family Fitness team. I thank you Master Vihn, and your team, for creating a fun safe space for kids!

    They really treat the children and parents for that matter like extended family. We have been attending for the past 2 1/2 years and love it. My son has learned so much and his confidence is growing. I know that was a direct influence from the school.

    I have been taking my child for 6 yrs now. Its a good place to take your child. They are friendly and helpful. They offer plenty of things to make it fun for the child. Theres summer camp, family night out! And after school program. What i enjoy the most is how much the kids form this bond. .it become like a tight unit. In addition a safe environment for all.

    Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing are the absolute best! My nine year old daughter loves going to class, especially on Fridays when she gets to spar with her friends. What I love most about Family Fitness is that they teach real fighting and self defense techniques, like in MMA. Thank you Master Vinh, Jerry, and the rest of the staff for being awesome!

    Family Fitness Kickboxing is , a family. They create a safe space for kids to learn and develop in a healthy manner. They teach respect to one another and respect to humanity. They value family and are very welcoming. They truly celebrate life. Family fitness is definitely a place worth the investment.

    Honestly the downtown jersey city Family Fitness Karate & Kickboxing location is AMAZING! Master Mike and the rest of our kids mentors are awesome. They learn a lot each day they go! We had the pleasure of having our sons birthday party with family and friends. Both coaches hosting were amazing with all of our guests, especially the cake cutting moment. That was an above and beyond experience that our son will never forget. I would definitely recommend all services offered by Karate Fitness.

    Though it's only been 4 months since joining, Family Fitness has been an integral part of our child's life. The after school program is perfect for our 6-year-old as he gets picked up from school, gets homework help, and MMA classes for a single fee. The teachers are awesome -- firm, but sincere in providing the best care for the students. We can't wait to see his continued growth as we grow with Family Fitness.

    Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing has been a very positive experience for our family. My son has taken part of both the summer program and the after school program with really positive outcomes. He has developed a lot more strength, coordination, focus and discipline. All of the teaches are really good in fostering discipline, respect, focus, physical strength and coordination in their students. The after school program is also a very favorable especially for working parents since they pick the kids up from school, help them with homework as well as enabling them to take classes. The kids are safe and once you pick them up they have run off their steam and have done their homework so you have them evening free for other things. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a good martial arts program for your kids.

    We had an amazing, memorable 5th birthday party for my daughter at the Central Ave location. Everything was done for us - set up/clean up, the colorful balloon decorations were perfect! The team had non-stop fun activities for almost 30 kids for 2 WHOLE HOURS!!!! It was awesome to see all the kids having so much fun! Best part was when my daughter cut her cake with a Samurai sword!! This is the best deal for birthday parties around! Highly recommend!

    Kickboxing has been a very welcome change in my life. I’m not very active or athletic but I wanted to improve my health and stamina so I decided to give it a try. The instructors have been excellent- very helpful and patient! They allow you to go at your own pace but encourage you to push yourself. In no time, I was keeping up with the pros. I can already see a huge difference in my body (lost a few inches from my waist, and feel amazing! I highly recommend this place if you wanna get in shape and have fun at the same time!! Thank you family fitness!

    Kids going for almost 4 years and they love it. Great and dedicated team.

  • 5/5 Anu K. 3 years ago on Google
    When I joined these classes almost 3 weeks ago, I was simply focused on losing weight but now I thoroughly enjoy them as I also get to learn a very important skill apart from just burning calories. Both Vinh and Jerry put tremendous amount of energy into each session and even motivate us to eat right. What I love most is that since these are high intensity workout sessions, so we really get to push ourselves beyond our limits.
