I was nervous, but I took my first kickboxing class today at CKO and signed up for a membership immediately after. The staff and coaches are incredibly nice, especially Marc, who answered my 10000 questions, showed me some great stretches for my lower back and made me feel like family. I highly recommend stopping in for a class, it’s a great workout and you can work at your own pace. The space is huge and kept very clean!! Can’t recommend this place (and Marc) enough!!

This place is awesome. I went there for the first time last Wednesday to the 7:30pm class. The people that work there are friendly and willing to help in any way possible. The instructor took the time to walk around the room and give everyone tips to help them out. They have enough space to host huge crowds. I will definitely be going back. Make sure to take advantage of the first class free.And they have a full size gym/workout room with machines and free weights on the next floor.

Love coming here for the well-programmed classes, quality equipment, clean (and socially distanced) environment, and motivating community! The friendly and knowledgeable coaches are the best part of the gym. So happy I found a place that cares about reaching my fitness goals!

Great gym! I’ve been going for about 3 years, never had a bad experience. They handled this pandemic perfectly. As a cheery on top, the ladies in the reception are super friendly.

I’ve been attending CKO for almost two months and it’s the safest option for an awesome workout in Hoboken. The owner Ann is really sweet! It’s great to have options of classes then the gym upstairs (which is spaced out and has sanitizing options every couple feet). If you’re looking to really blast your whole body, this is the workout.. also kinda great to get out some stress on the bag!

From the moment you walk into this facility, you know youre in the right place. This is the place to get into the best shape of your Life! The owner and his staff are professional, friendly and very encouraging. The members are all polite and share the enthusiasm of improving ones mental and physical fitness. Look no further, CKO Kickboxing Hoboken is the place to be.

This is a great gym! The trainers are all super friendly, well trained, encouraging and helpful. The ladies at the front are also lovely and polite. The upstairs gym is a huge plus that you can use on your own at any time. It has everything you would need in a pinch. The prices also aren’t bad! I have really enjoyed my 2 years here.

You’ll burn calories, but there’s no emphasis on technique or form. A lot of times you can never adapt to one combination before another one or a new exercise is thrown at you:For sake of calorie burning it’s fine, but they are butchering the martial art. The trainers have no experience in teaching martial art.The gym up stairs is great for the only reason that so few people use it. It’s a lot of old machines$119/month.

2002 thats when my first and forever membership started at CKO (back then TakeItToTheMax). I have been through some tough times (as tragically in 2009, I lost my little boy who quoted CKOs workout in the attached). CKO has always been by my side as a solid family and friends; assisting so kindly on fundraisers. CKO Madison: just a quick THANK YOU, through the years, for having a professional, efficient, effective and most important such warm whole-hearted dedication to all of your members. Its 2021, and I still take your classes; age is a number for me....and I thank CKO as all of you must receive due credit for that. To many more years of excellence!!!!

The best gym - its so good to be back inside!

Like many, I was wondering how gyms (and CKO in particular) can come back after everything came to a halt last Spring. First glimpse of hope was the outdoor classes the team started holding outside in June. They literally moved parts of the gym (heavy bags and stands) outdoors to a nearby small park. I believe they will continue to hold outdoor classes until it gets too cold.The Hoboken CKO gym itself opened second week of September. Of course, coming back felt a bit weird at first -and thats normal- but Im very glad CKO is back! Here are a few things I get asked about all the time:- They take your temperature at the door as you sign in, and masks required AT ALL TIMES.- Social distancing marks everywhere, reduced capacity. This is a HUGE gym and they took out every other bags, giving you more than 12 ft between the bags. You get a LOT Of space to workout.- Classes are 45 minutes, but very intense.- Masks: Many of my friends asked me how can you workout in a mask? I have to admit its a bit hard to get used to it at first, but it does work. I personally prefer disposable masks as you can toss them after you are done, but some use specially designed reusable workout masks.- Upstairs weights space has endless supply of wipes, disinfectant spray, and youre required to wipe the weights and equipment after you are done with them, all members Ive seen do that. Personally, I clean them before and after to be even safer.Times are challenging. But Im glad CKO is back, its a Hoboken staple and for me a 14+ year tradition. Its not just about being in shape, its about punching a bag after a stressful day at work (mental outlet), falling asleep easier after burning off excessive energy, or simply the one hour of the day you get to go outside the apartment.I go to the CKO everyday, mixing between classes, workouts, and even personal training, and I feel very safe in all of them.Welcome back CKO!

Love the classes here, really push me to do my best and break personal bests. Huge plus having that gym upstairs so when I want to get some resistance training in ill just hit the gym which is very well equipped!

Great classes. Exhausted, but feeling good

I have been attending classes at CKO Kickboxing for almost two year now. Before that, I had never really found any workout program I enjoyed. This is really a fun, full body workout that is easy to keep coming back to. You can adjust each class based on your own skill level and the instruction is fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone looking to find a daily workout routine.

I attended classes at a CKO in Manhattan and absolutely loved it! The staff was super friendly, knew my name by my second visit and the trainers were super motivating and had amazing energy. Once I moved to Hoboken and found out that there was a CKO right next to me I wanted to join immediately but wanted to still try it out before committing. Unfortunately, I was so disappointed both times I went. I went very early in the morning both times so I could get a workout in before work. The front staff was kind but the trainers had no energy. I need someone who is going to make me feel like waking up at 5am is a good idea and that they are happy to be there. It seemed like they were trying to lull me back to sleep by being as quiet and monotone as possible. The gyms itself is great but they need to replace some of their trainers. They need trainers who are going to motivate, sound like they want to be there and willing to push people. I love CKO I just dont love this location.

Facility - It is a 2-story facility with kickboxing on the first floor and the gym on the second. The gym is might not be not look massive at first due to its shape, but it has plenty of cardio equipment and old school weight lifting machines. Best part is that it is never overcrowded.Location - Just moved to Jersey Heights and since I dont have a car, I chose this gym. It is pretty close to the light rail station.Owners - The owners are really pleasant people. They quite literally greet me every single day that I go to the gym.

Highly recommend! Great trainers and staff, frequent classes, large space, decent quality gym, and a great overall value especially if you do a year+. Definitely guarantees a great workout, youve got to stick with it!

CKO is the best workout in town. The variety of amazing instructors ensure that there is a class for everyone, complete with upbeat music, technique practice and aerobic exercise at a pace that is right for you. The full gym upstairs allows for additional cardio and weight training, too. I cannot recommend CKO enough.

I love this place - best workout Ive had since moving to Hoboken! The staff is so friendly and the trainers are fun! I was worried about group classes because I didnt want to feel left out of a clique like I did when I tried crossfit, but this is absolutely not that and youll enjoy it. Give it a try.

Classes are beginner friendly, while also rewarding to people with a background in fighting due to the work at your own pace style of teaching. Environment is very friendly and welcoming.

Great instructors with tons of passion looking to get the most out of their clients. Ive been to many gyms in the Hoboken area. You will not be disappointed here and will lose tons of lbs.

I moved to Hoboken 2 years ago and wanted to make sure I found a gym that fit what I was looking for. At first I was a memeber at NYSC but I found it to always be PACKED, which led to certain equipment usually being used when I was trying to use it. I tried the free week trial at CKO and felt like it was the perfect fit! I liked the fact that they had free weights and machines upstairs, but also had classes available downstairs. They offer a great variety of times for the classes, especially if you work a 9-5 job like I do.Overall it’s been a great experience and I have consistently been reccomending to friends and colleagues in the area who haven’t given it a shot yet!

I was a member of CKO in Hoboken. I moved to Portland, Maine where there are no CKOs in the entire state. I have a lease proving my change of residency and they STILL would not let me out of the contract, even though it says if you move and provide proof you can be let out. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!! DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM. The customer service is horrendous and they should be ashamed of themselves for operating a business as they do. A BUNCH OF SCAM ARTISTS. DO NOT JOIN.

I was a member for a year but the drama coming from the staff made me leave. I came back with my friend that will get married and asked me to train with her to motivate each other and the front desk person came to me in a very rude manner telling me that what I was doing was not permitted and that I would get in a big trouble ( those where her words ) . I paid for a full month because I do like the classes but I asked for a full refund because is the second time that this kind of drama happens. Very sad that is actually the staff that brings drama. I was a member for a full year and saw so many people training together and everytime I would train with my family that are members of the gym I would get in trouble. I dont know whats going on . The trainers fill intimidated from a gym member ? I dont know . What I know is that unfortunately Im not coming back .

Best, most efficient full-body workout. Hands down. Youll get results quicker than any other gym or fad workout in Hoboken.Note the two reviews tanking the perfect score have nothing to do with working out at CKO Hoboken.

Huge fan! Great instructors that really help motivate.

Great workout! Great facilities! Great instructors!

I am absolutely addicted to this gym. I started in 2006 with the 10 week program and lost 20lbs within that time. Its almost 10 years now and i havent looked back. Their workouts are 1 hour full body and will get you in shape quickly. The workouts never get boring and each class is different. This location actually has a full gym for cardio and weights as well. I think they have like 50 classes a week so it fits my schedule perfectly. I highly recommend.

Two floor gym with fitness kickboxing on one floor and a full size gym on the top floor. The top-floor gym has just about everything you would need, complete with locker rooms (but no showers). It includes one of everything, is a bit retro, and is barely ever crowded.

HORRIBLE service. Went for my first trial class and was greeted by a nasty brunette with a short bob-like hair cut. She rolled her eyes at me every question I asked. They were VERY unwilling to answer membership options available. I went in with the intention of signing up to CKO Hoboken that day but after the customer service I received I will never be back. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone thinking to sign up to CKO in the area to visit Jersey City. Everyone there is polite and friendly and do not give attitude when approached by customers. If I could give no stars for CKO Hoboken, NJ .... I would.

Nice place. Will come again.

Terrible staff. I bought triple class and tried one of the classes. I had to travel due to work for a week and half and when i came back they dint let me use the two remaining classes saying that it had expired. U lost a customer for an already empty looking class . Never coming back.

Terrible facility, staff, energy. Rude front desk personnel - especially 2 ladies working the front desk. Owner doesn’t care about feedback and doesn’t respond to emails.

Ever improving facilities, friendly staff.

Do not enroll at the Edgewater location! The owner ignores customers, promised and have in writing an approval for a refund and never followed through.Worst experience Ive ever had with a gym facility.

Not a friendly place
