CKO Kickboxing

I love CKO! I was a member years ago at another location and assumed the next closest one would be too much out of the way to get to once my location closed. This was the only work out I saw results. I started back about a month ago, and already seeing better results than I had when I was training for a marathon last year. The instructors are different from each other, but all tough. You get a serious high intensity workout every time and will never got bored. The other members are very friendly and you never feel uncomfortable our out of place. You will surely leave sweat on the floor after the intense 1 hour work out. I’m glad I came back to the CKO family, Lodi is a great location!

I LOVE coming here! I’ve been coming consistently for a little over a month and I have another 5 months left on my contract. If you’ve never tried kickboxing, this is a great place to start! Come try out a free class and see how you like it. Your body will be pushed to the max and you will leave dripping sweat and feeling great about yourself every time!
I’ve been to other places where the instructors are kind of pushy and don’t understand when you need to take a break. They’re not like that here at all! Every instructor has their own style and incorporates many different combos and other exercises. Sometimes we do a kind of circuit training where we rotate through different stations, sometimes there’s more work on the bag, sometimes there’s jogging around the gym. Sometimes the workout focuses more on legs or abs or upper body… it never gets boring because it’s always changing. And there are always modifications if a certain exercise doesn’t work for you.
I’ve never enjoyed a workout routine so much in my life! Thanks so much CKO!

Post baby I can always use a different workout to maintain a slimmer me. I get bored easily (true Gemini that I am)…I’ve done yoga, hot yoga, bootcamp etc etc. Driving around doing errands I keep on passing these CKOs so I thought, let me see what the hype is all about. Paid for three classes and gloves (some groupon). I took a 5:30 in the morning class and it kicked my ass. LOL
But it was fun! And if it wasn’t for the fact that I’m a member of a gym already I’d say this is way more worth it because it makes the best use of an hour! With a kid and full time job, I don’t have the time to put 2 – 3 hours to a gym.
It’s 59.00 dollars a month. I’d def join if the price was half that, because I know realistically I could only commit to 3 times per week max. And I’d only be able to make the Tuesday, Thursday 5:30 am classes and maybe a class during the weekend. So doing the math, 59 (no tax) is too much when I’m sure there would be weeks during the month I’d only make it twice. For that, I make more use of the gym!
But it’s a fun class and def go with the instructor (young guy, short, a lil stocky)…don’t know his name but he teaches the early morning course and he is awesome. He WORKS THE ish OUT OF THE CLAS
S!

I love this place!!! Joined for 3mths & have taken classes with Phil, Eddie & Wil! Awesome workouts. Phil the owner is the nicest guy & the place is super clean. Took my son for a comp class today & he’s thinking of joining.

Like I said in my previous posts. I’m a huge cko kick boxing fan… went to Hoboken for the longest needed a break but went back but in Edgewater this time and what a waste of money anyway… I loved Lodi… took a class with Jose who if I’m not mistaken used to teach in Hoboken and his classes were great. He didn’t fail this time either! Gym is big, roomy, and super clean. They also have shoe policy, which is fine they asked us to clean shoes off. Def. Look into this place if our interested in a Great workout!
Oh…p.s. It is not where GPS says it is… drive further up to the café billiards, its in that lot!

It’s only fair to write another update here…
CKO Lodi is open under new management, but with the same great instructors from the previous reign. The workouts are excellent and the new bags as well as atmosphere are perfect for a great workout. I’m as addicted as ever!

CKO Wallington and Lodi were a great place to go. Sal, the owner/​instructor, was very knowledgeable and passionate about fitness. He was able to motivate the unmotivatable. I would give his efforts 5 stars. Sadly, he was taken to court by the CEO of CKO and forced to step away from the business. If that is the type of place it is going to be, I will be taking my business elsewhere. Sal built a loyal following.

I’ve been a member now for two years, and the remodel is amazing! The classes are good, with a large variety of instructors which a good thing, you will get a feel of how every class is. The owner Sal is very helpful, member or not. You will definitely get addicted to this workout without a doubt!
