CKO JC is the first gym I've been a member of, where I've been motivated to go consistently and has made me feel excited about working out.
The instructors are some of the nicest people you'll meet and they always push you to be your best. They mix up the workouts so you never feel like you've taken the same class twice. The 60 min classes FLY by and you realize at the end that you got an incredible workout in and had the most fun doing it.
It's the best stress reliever! As you start to see yourself improve, it starts to become addicting and you want to push yourself even harder in classes. It's such a supportive community, between all of the instructors and the other members who motivate you as well, and that's why I keep coming back. Couldn't recommend this gym enough!!
Great instructors and intense workout! Would be great if there was more of a focus on form, especially for the kicks. Highly recommend!
Due to a variety of class options/timing to fit busy schedules, motivating trainers/coaches in a judgement-free environment, ability to learn and go at your own pace to familiarize with kickboxing, opportunity to gain new skills and get fit, and more, CKO JC is highly recommended! Never having boxed, a friend and I tried a class a couple months ago and we have been attending consistently since. I sincerely recommend these dynamic and fun classes for a great workout in a supportive environment, to test your perseverance and challenge yourself, and to try something new. Brought my husband to take a class with me recently for my birthday - it was awesome to be able to share the experience with him. Try it for yourself and see what you can do!
Great energy, clean and professional environment. There are no showers though, but aside that it's a perfect place to get in shape and have fun doing it. Charlie's class on Wednesday afternoon is my favorite!
The classes are fun and offer a fantastic workout. The only downside is the amount of people in each class and how close everyone is to each other. You end up getting kicked when it's a full class
Intense workout! Perfect if you're trying to lose weight and tone up your body.
Great experience with constant motivation to push you out of your comfort zone. Group class definitely eliminates the boredom of going to a typical gym. Keeps me looking forward to the next class with the amazing instructors and opportunities to achieve the next milestone.
Hands down, CKO rocks! The instructors are amazing; they take the time to teach you proper techniques and correct your form. It's well kept, a great workout and has killer music to help get you going.
CKO Fam - ya'll are life savers! Keep up the good work.
This is an AMAZING GYM. If its your first time I highly recommend going to Charlie's 7PM monday class. Its currently Thursday and I am still sore. This is truly a great workout and will leave you feeling strong after only 3 classes. I never wanted to spend more than $150 on a gym membership, but I became quickly obsessed. You won't regret it.
CKO is everywhere! A nice place to go punch some bags. The instructor can be hard to see and it's difficult for me to make out what they're saying, but I just look around and do what everyone else is doing. They do heavybag 100% so make sure you're geared for it. I went with wrong gloves and came back with skin ripped off my knuckles. (I didn't feel fantastic) The gloves they give away when you get the starter pack works fine.

Issac is awesome! He is very professional and knowledgeable. I can see my improvement after every session of the training! I would definitely recommend to taking one on one class with Issac!

The whole CKO staff at Jersey City was awesome. From the people at the front desk who were super friendly to the very knowledgeable trainers, mine was Isaac Valentine I had so much fun. He kept the workout disciplined but fun. Def want to go back !
This gym is GREAT! Equipment is top notch, plenty a space in classss and the instructors are awesome. My favorite instructor to work with is Isaac Valentin, if you have a chance, you should take one of his classes. I had no experience kickboxing and his teaching style made it easy for me to learn. I got the chance to train with him one on one several times, and let me tell you, it was definitely worth his rate. He was able to identify my weaknesses and show me exercises I could do on my own to improve. The rest of the staff is certainly helpful as well, but I was most comfortable with Isaac. If you haven't already been here, I encourage you to go in and check it out.

Isaac Valentin is the best trainer I've ever had! His knowledge of the sport and dedication to his students is unparalleled. You will never be bored training with Isaac and you'll always feel sore!
Really nice place! I must say my personal favorite instructor there was Isaac Valentin hands down! Working with Isaac Valentin was such a rewarding experience nonetheless. He was very patient, motivating, and informative with his teaching techniques. You can really tell Isaac Valentin knows his stuff and I HIGHLY recommend if anyone ever gets the opportunity to work with Isaac Valentin you should!

We'll run gym. Fun, high energy classes!
the TRAP house!!!! come here to get your sweat on. the energy in here is always unreal! i love the staff, love the spot and love the workout. this is a second home. they make anyone feel welcome
Sadly I had to change my review to a one star review due to the cancellation policy. I was under the assumption that my plan was cancelled, only to be surprised by a debt collecting agency with a $700 payment due.
Beware of the cancellation policy because the devil is in the details. Best of luck to all future CKO members.
Great instructor but they need to make bigger room for bathroom, they need to make shower room!!!
LOVE coming here and kicking ass! It's a great workout but although they always have a groupon deal, their membership is way too expensive. There are also VERY limited classes on the weekend.
Very fun and competitive environment. The instructors are very good at pushing you and helping you stay motivated. The classes aren't easy, but you can go at your own pace. Recommended for anyone looking to try something new and who is bored of the gym.
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.
Great workouts. It's easy to go at your own pace if you're a beginner, and they usually have a deal to get 3 classes plus gloves when you join
I've worked out for most of my adult life. Beginning in high school, I would either run or lift weights. Occasionally I would play basketball but that would require finding a gym and also having enough friends to get a good game going. But now that I'm in my 30's with a young child, my time is limited. So when I work out, I want the most bang for my buck (aka time). CKO was the solution to my problems. There are few things that I look forward to more than my one hour workouts at CKO. At my ripe old age of 34, I can't be doing the same thing over and over again because all that does is make the same muscles stronger until the point where I plateau and my body stops changing. The workouts at CKO are a game (and body) changer. All the instructors are terrific - Charlie, Kristian, Brian, Derek, John, to name a few - and they each have differing styles and will focus on different parts of your body. Even the same instructor will have a drastically different routine on Friday from the one he had on Monday. That in my opinion is how your body changes - by never doing the same thing two days in a row and allowing muscle memory to set in. There is also a friendliness to the place that I've never really experienced in a gym. Everyone is energetic and welcoming, especially the owner Joe, who you get the sense wants nothing more for you than to change your body. If you're unmotivated, then you'll get motivated. And if you can't get motivated by this place then you need to do some soul-searching. I would highly recommend CKO Jersey City, my home away from home.
Great place. Good coaches. You can ask for a 30 minute personal training else everything is a group activity. Quite strain full and tiring. A little on the expensive side. Suggest you to try the 3 day class before commiting for longer duration.
