From the reviews
CKO Boxing is one of the finest gyms in NJ. The trainers are professional, engaged, experts in their field, and motivational. They make an effort to know every member and make every effort to inspire the members. CKO Freehold encourages a family-like atmosphere where everyone supports and motivates each other.
There aren't enough words to say how much I love CKO Freehold! The great workouts and family like atmosphere are what keep me coming back. Instructors and front desk staff members really take the time to connect with you personally and motivate you each and every class.
I have been at CKO Freehold for about 5 years. The workout is amazing. You leave every class knowing you had a great workout. The trainers up your game if you can handle it and give you alternatives if your a beginner which helps new people stick with it.
Last June I told Mike, the CKO Freehold owner , that I could not believe that my husband and I had been doing it for more than 3 years. He said: "Hold on, let me look." It turned out that we started...6 years and a half ago! Yes, CKO is never boring, completely addictive (in a healthy way, of course), tough but fun!
New to kickboxing? Start at CKO Kickboxing Freehold
CKO Kickboxing Freehold comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at CKO Kickboxing Freehold
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
