Doing 16 week challenge. Having a great time! Every class and teacher is a little different which keeps it challenging but fun. David's classes are on point. Very effective instructor.

I joined CKO Bayonne back in December 2022, after the gym I had been working out at and instructing at for the past four years unfortunately closed. I'm going to be honest, before walking in the door for my first class, I was extremely nervous. I knew it was going to be difficult for me to transition to a new gym, as well as a new workout regiment, after being so dedicated to a different program previously. However, all of my fears and doubts were immediately wiped away after my first couple of classes. The instructors, the front desk staff, and the other members were all extremely welcoming, supportive, and motivating, and made me feel right at home.Yes, the workouts are intense. Yes, you're going to be sore and, like me, you're probably shoot some side eye at your Instructors multiple times during class. But, I promise you, it's all worth it. When I first started, I didn't think I'd be able to get through the workouts for a full sixty minutes - now I'm working out six days a week at CKO Bayonne.Since joining back in December 2022, I've lost twenty pounds, and I've become stronger than I've ever been, both mentally and physically. I'm grateful to all of the Instructors for pushing me to new heights and for all of the encouragement. (And a special shout out to Marion for supporting and sharing my love of all things BURPEES!)

CKO Bayonne is literally my happy place . After a long day of work , there is nothing better than blowing off some steam on those bags . Also , it is a safe and very welcoming environment. The trainers , all of them , are awesome and take the time to teach . The members are also great and everyone becomes friends , and motivate each other .Health and body wise, as well as mental and emotional , they do a great job at taking care of a persons well being .I literally walked in there by accident once. Cause the music was so good , and I never left!Everyone should be a member and reap the benefits of what CKO Bayonne has to offer :)

Halfway into my 16 week challenge and I love it. I’ve gotten stronger and better with each class. All the staff has been wonderful and very supportive. Will be continuing past the 16 weeks.

All my life I have struggled with losing and gaining weight. At age of 30 I finally found an exercise that I can continue doing all my life and helps me with my overall health. CKO it’s not your average gym. You don’t have to set a plan and push your way through a plan to see results. CKO offers classes that meets a whole body workout without the stress of pushing yourself. There’s trainers that naturally motivates you to do more and be better every time you go to a CKO class. I love CKO for its community, trainers, and for changing my life. Because exercising is not a hobby, it is a life style and that is what CKO brings. ?

CKO Bayonne has a very welcoming environment. There are great coaches, such as Charlie, Juli, Mallory, and Marion, who push and motivate you to achieve your fitness goals! Every class works your strength, cardio, and technique to give you a full body workout for the whole hour.

Coach Danielle and David are the best. Very accomodating, informative, professional. Time goes fast when they were the coach. I will be back after a long trip because of you both. Julianna is also very considerate regarding members situation specially is one will be away for a long time.

Committing to kickboxing three times a week for four weeks straight, I gradually increased my endurance with each class, able to hold my planks longer and punch and kick a little harder with each class. My quads and glutes are more toned, and I generally feel more active as well.Everyone from the staff and members are motivating , can’t wait til next class .

I used to have a really hard time working out. I’m very self-conscious, and it would deter me from becoming the best version of myself. When I would drive by CKO Bayonne, I could feel the energy and excitement pouring out of the doors. Every member looked engaged, motivated, confident, and although sweaty, extremely happy to be there. It made me feel like I wanted to be there. So, I went on Groupon, purchased a 3-class pass, and never turned back.It’s been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I’ve been a member for quite some time now, and actually look forward to working out. I have Charlie, Julie, and all of the instructors at CKO to thank for that.CKO Bayonne really cares about their craft, and their members. Each instructor has a different style to suit your needs. If you’re looking for serious technique, you can take Charlie’s class. If you want to burn your glutes, go for Julie or Dani. If you want fast paced (and a whole lotta burpees), you have to take Marion and Mallory. If you want non-stop action, go for Randolph. The variety helps to make the classes different and exciting, so you’re never bored.If you’re new to kickboxing, the instructors do a great job of showing you what you’re doing right and wrong. They’ll correct form, encourage you to push a little harder, and work with you on combo’s if you’re struggling. Again, as someone who was self-conscious, initially coming into the community felt intimidating – but everyone, down to the members, makes that insecurity go away really quickly.I absolutely love this community – from the instructors, to the receptionists (shout-out to Otto and Alex!), and the members. I couldn’t recommend CKO, and the Bayonne location, enough.In the words of Rand – Stay Hydrated, Stay Motivated, it’s not that Complicated!Krystle Petrosini (Norelli)

I've been going to CKO Bayonne for half a year now and I love it here! You really don't need any kickboxing experience to start because the instructors patiently teach you along the way. The workouts are addicting, the members are welcoming and inclusive which is a plus. All of the instructors are amazing to be honest. They challenge you and always give you the best workouts. Come in and try it, I promise you'll have a great workout!

I first joined CKO as a 6 week nutrition challenge member and I absolutely fell in love. My first class was with Coach Marion (my fav instructor) but ALL of the coaches including Julie, Charlie, (legit EVERY single one) just wants to see you be the best you, that you can be. Every time I walk in those doors I am ready to BURN THAT FAT. It was a no brainer to continue my membership after the 6 weeks. If you are where I was and debating what gym is worth it, LOOK NO FURTHER - you have found a home. I am about 8 weeks in and have lost 19lbs.

Must Read:! I found cko in the year of 2016 and is the ONLY gym that has kept me coming back , Balance who would've thought it was so important I didn't until I realized I couldn't even tie my shoe in one foot , Charlie thought me this , fun; the gym fun? Yes Randolph and Stephanie teached me this stronger than I ever thought yes, julianna teached me this, so Manny different styles and instructors and they all will teach you to be a better you , plus you will release stress while doing so give it a try , you won't regret it! .

I’ve been a member for 4 years now and I’m still as motivated and excited to go to class as I was on day one! Classes never get boring and always offer a different full body workout. Every trainer is amazing with amazing music and workouts to keep your heart rate up the entire hour. I will never return to a regular gym like Plant Fitness because I can do 10x times more at CKO in one hour than I can in 3 hours there. The environment is so friendly and motivating, it feels like a family. Trainers and staff have always treated me with kindness. Do not hesitate to join CKO, it will be the best decision ever!

As someone who cannot workout without a trainer, CKO is perfect! The instructors really really motivate you to do more and challenge yourself. But don't be intimidated by that, they super encourage you to go at your own pace and modify if you have to (i.e. instead of doing laps around the gym, march in place between the bags!) The class also motivates each other. It truly is a great community that I'm so glad to be a part of. (I've personally been a member for probably 10 years or so at this point.) Also Juliana is the best, I almost exclusively take her classes. You see results so quickly too. They've recently included the use of heavy weights in class, which is my absolute favorite. Joining will be the best decision you'll ever make. Don't let fear or nerves stop you!

Classes have been great since I started. It’s a lot of hard work but it’s worth it. I have quickly become acquainted with my strengths and limitations. Class availability are flexible with my 9-5 and the instructors are awesome. Be sure to work at your own pace and take it a day at a time.
