Ive been a member for about 3 months now and yes...it IS addicting like people say! After Xtreme Fitness closed down, I was searching for a new gym. Came across CKO through a Google search and at first, I was doubtful and intimidated because Ive never done any kickboxing. I never had any interest in it either, but decided to give it a try since they have free trial classes. Great communication by the owners. I had a few questions prior to my first class, and someone would get back to me within a few hours. As for the workout, youre going to sweat....A LOT!!! Bring plenty of water and a towel. Within the first ten minutes of class, Im already dripping sweat. Its a full body workout, so not only youre punching and kicking a heavy bag, youre doing leg work and lots of ab workouts. The instructors Ive had so far have all been awesome! The ones Ive had so far are Mike, Paul, Diane and Roy. Each have their own style of teaching, so youre always doing something new and crazy with each instructor. They also motivate and push everyone throughout class, getting you amped for that attack round! You WILL see improvements if you keep at it and go a few times a week. It tends to get packed around evening/after work hours, so arrive early. Some people tend to have a designated/favorite bag, so be mindful and ask if anyone is using it. Or if you see someones stuff there, most likely they will be using that particular bag. For first timers, dont feel intimidated like I did. The instructors will give you a short tutorial before class to show you the basic punches and kicks they use during class. Also, watch the instructors or other members throughout the class if youre not sure what to do. And most importantly, GO AT YOUR OWN PACE AND HAVE FUN! They have starter gloves available to purchase, but as you get better, you would want to buy better quality gloves and hand wraps. Pricing is reasonable for unlimited classes. The owners/instructors will work with you in coming up with the best affordable ways for membership. Im glad I signed up! Its a good change from the average gym atmosphere. Waiting for machines, being crammed in the free weight section, seeing all the meat heads. CKO has a great welcoming atmosphere. Youll see all different kinds of people from all different levels...from the veteran members to the brand new ones here. Highly recommended! You WILL get addicted to it!

I have been a member for almost 6 months now. Unfortunately I had plenty of health issues during this time and as a result I was not able to go very frequently to their gym. When I asked about the possibility of extending my membership because of some of my health concerns, they accepted it immediately. I had to do this twice, once for an ankle injury and once for a minor surgery, both times they understood my issues and extended my membership in a blink - Literally the process was to stop by their gym and talk, thats it! They are always very nice and customer friendly. The last 2 boxing places I had enrolled I had such a difficult time when I had to talk to them about anything, but the management in CKO edison is extremely friendly and understanding.

Starting to get abs without even flexing. CKO is a legitimate high intensity interval, full body workout. Their class schedules are great and they even hold at least a few classes on holidays. The workouts are fun too. It does get a little hot in there sometimes, but in the end that means more calories burned. Happy I made the switch.

CKO Edison is the best place to workout, staff and members are very friendly. Classes are very challenging but the trainers offer modifications and stress to workout at your own pace. Whether you are or not in shape I can assure that you will love it. I highly recommend trying them out.
