From the reviews
I have been a member for over 6 years! And no matter how far I have moved i ALWAYS come back to CKO Jersey City. The energy level is simply out of this world! Not to mention the highly skilled and knowledgeable instructors. They always go far and beyond to ensure you're happy, and reach your fitness goals.
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.
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.
Love this place! Love all the coaches! They made the classes very engaging and fun! I have been visiting here for about half year! Feel changes in my body! I got muscles! 💪 I’ve experienced many coaches here in Jersey City. Charles is always great, professional, and will keep improving our postures.
New to kickboxing? Start at CKO Kickboxing Jersey City
CKO Kickboxing Jersey City 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 Jersey City
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.
