The worst possible experience trying to cancel this membership! I’ve since moved out of state but CKO JC uses National Acceptance Company for their billing and they are SCAMMERS. I have LITERALLY DONE EVE-RY-THING that was outlined in the 16 week challenge contract in order to cancel the membership even sending a certified mail letter and waiting OVER A YEAR! Its literally BEEN NOW ALMOST TWO YEARS DEALING WITH THIS where I continue to be charged for a service I have not used and have tried to cancel endless times AND CKO COULD NOT CARE LESS !!!!! Spoke to multiple people including Charlie the owner and he was just dismissive! Now NAC sent me a letter saying they are sending me to collections for hundreds of dollars when I literally sent a cancellation letter MONTHS ago FOLLOWING THEIR EVERY LAST INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO GO ABOUT CANCELING. I’ve called, emailed, called again, tried reaching out to CKO on multiple occasions, and EVEN SENT THE CERTIFIED LETTER OF CANCELLATION TO THEIR PA office and they have the audacity to send me to collections !!!?!!!? If this doesn’t tell you what you need to know about CKO, then I don’t know what would. Biggest mistake I’ve ever made was signing up with this company!!! Zero stars if I could !

1hor high-intensity fitness Kickboxing classes. No experience is needed. You can go at your own pace too. Pretty dope. Instructors are awesome and friendly.

Similar to the rest of the folks that gave a 1-star review, this CKO is will attempt to charge you automatically when obligiation is over and in a very unprofessional manner. Even after requesting/submitting cancellation of the renewal and disputing the charges, they will then attempt to charge you more for the dispute and call it a "chargeback/late fee". I actually used to like CKO until having this very poor experience.

Best gym ever! I truly feel a sense of community here, every coach has a slightly different approach but they are all awesome - super energizing and motivating. The classes are a perfect combination of strength training focused on specific body parts and invigorating boxing sessions. I frequently attend Charlie, Juliana, and John's classes, they are AMAZING:)

I'm a longtime runner who was looking for a workout experience that was more engaging and would help me improve my overall fitness. I found that in CKO, and it has far and away exceeded all of my expectations. It's incredibly challenging but makes working out enjoyable, and the instructors are motivating and fun to be around. I feel stronger than ever and am so glad I found CKO! Highly recommend.

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. I went from having low confidence, barely being able to lift, to being more confident with myself and squatting more than I could have ever imagined! Coach Charlie is so very motivating, friendly and knowledgeable. He answers any questions I have when it comes to fitness and explains why we do any exercise. The program that we follow is designed for my needs and goals, my body, my age and ability to execute the exercises but also to keep me motivated and challenged. It has been one of the most rewarding activities I do. I recommend personal training with Charlie at CKO Jersey City to anyone who wants to invest in themselves. It is so worth it!

I can't say enough positive things about this place and staff! John is so welcoming and is very helpful during his class if needed. Charlie is a beast and pushes you to your limits in the best way possible. Brian is so encouraging and makes sure you're always on point. Dave is also great! I haven't had the pleasure of taking all coaches yet but I've only heard good things so far and look forward to taking their classes as well!The workouts that you get with each of the trainers are full body workouts from the second class starts to the second it ends. As tough as they are, I really look forward to going. I have been a member for about 2 months now and I am noticing myself getting stronger by the day. I even feel more energized after classes and feel more encouraged to eat healthier as well! Before joining, I had a goal of getting into the best shape of my life this year. With the progress that I have been making so far because of CKO, I don't have any doubt that I will reach my goal.

I recently had the pleasure of spending nine days in New Jersey, and being a fitness enthusiast, I knew I wanted to maintain my workout routine despite being on the road. That's when I found CKO Kickboxing, and let me tell you, it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip!I attended as many classes as I could fit into my schedule during my stay, and each one exceeded my expectations. The variety of the classes kept things fresh and exciting - no two workouts were the same, which I absolutely loved.What struck me most about CKO Kickboxing was the phenomenal blend of rigorous exercise and sheer fun. The trainers' enthusiasm was infectious, making me push harder and get the most out of each session. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about what they do, creating a positive and energetic atmosphere that inspired everyone in the room.The workouts themselves were excellent, combining elements of strength training, cardio, and of course, kickboxing techniques. Even as a visitor, I felt my strength and endurance improve over the short time I was there. I left each class feeling exhilarated and accomplished, looking forward to the next one.

I never knew I would fall in love with kickboxing this much. I used to think CKO was only for guys but little did I know, it's truly for everybody!!! It all starts when you first walk in. The friendly welcomes and greetings. Great training and introduction for first-timers and free trial class. I did the $99 Kickstart and in 3 weeks I was hooked and signed up for a year. The trainers are absolutely awesome, Charlie, John, Dave, Juliana, Karen, Sarah, Christan, the list is way longer and I have yet to meet a trainer or take a class I didn't love. I recommend CKO to everybody. You'll fit right in, no matter your age, fitness level or goals. We all start somewhere, at CKO I am making new friends while taking care of my body and my overall health. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner.

BEWARE OF DOING THE CHALLENGE!!!!! Lots of hidden details in the contract that they don’t tell you upfront. Even when signing the contract the sales person was kind of pushy and I thought to myself to give it a try still. After doing the 16 week challenge, I wanted to cancel as I will be moving out of state, I requested to cancel my membership through email, they said I had until the 26th to email back and I was charged on the 17th.Sent me a long email that was hard to decipher and just overall scammy and not transparent.

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. They offer times that fit into everyone’s schedule and the new 5:45AM classes on Tuesday/Friday by Christian are a great way to start the day before having to go to work.All the CKO instructors (Too many to name each individually but all are amazing!) have their own unique style, bring tons of energy to the class and take the time to show the proper form. You will never get bored because each class will incorporate different moves/exercises.The staff at the front desk are always friendly and willing to help with any questions or assistance you need. They help to create a great experience as you enter the class. Once you are in the class, working out with others provides that motivation to push yourself harder. In the year that I have been a member, I have not had a bad class and my energy level has picked up immensely.I would definitely recommend stopping by for a class if you are interested in getting a fun and full body workout. Once you take a class, you will be hooked and looking forward to your next class.Thanks Charlie and team!

Awesome gym, the classes really push you and the staff is super friendly. Every trainer runs their class in their own way, but you get a killer workout no matter whose class you attend. They keep the place really clean and clean up after every session. The sessions accommodate most 9-5 schedules and usually have some afternoon class as well. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to get in shape!

CKO has transformed my life and my lifestyle! Coming from a person who's never gone to a gym before, CKO has now become an integral part of my daily routine.CKO is my second home where I feel comfortable and in my skin, surrounded by people that I like and coaches that inspire me. I'm surrounded by friends who motivate me and teachers who push me to exceed my limits everyday.Yes, CKO has transformed my physical body by giving me the endurance and strength that I didn't know existed. However, it's my inner self that has gained the most from the CKO experience. I'm mentally stronger, confident about my appearance and ready to take on the world every single day.I'm here to stay and will continue to grow healthier and fitter...... I'm an unstoppable beast!!!! Thank you to my CKO family for giving me a purpose.—Jasmin C.

my husband and i joined CKO a year ago, and have had a great experience. The coaches are motivating and help you if you need it, not to mention it’s a GREAT workout. Plus, you can always go at your own pace. The gym is clean, and everything is run through their app which makes signing up for class so easy. Not to mention, there are classes in the morning, midday and after work. Would definitely recommend regardless of your level of kick-boxing experience.

Ever since I joined CKO, my fitness routine has changed completely. My body started getting better and flexible. It not only helps me keeping fit but also a great source of mental well being. All the coaches are amazing. The environment is energetic and super clean. I would highly recommend CKO. Just give it a try and I’m sure it will become a habit. Cheers ?
