About CKO Hoboken

WELCOME TO CKO OF HOBOKEN’S MADISON STREET GYM

At CKO Hoboken, our goal is to help everyone take their fitness to the next level. When you come to our location, you’ll be in a supportive environment where you can achieve real results. In fact, the ads you see all over Hoboken feature REAL PEOPLE in the CKO World and the REAL RESULTS they’ve achieved through our high energy, fun, calorie-burning workout! At CKO, we make working out exciting and provide a sense of community for our members so that everyone can support one another in reaching their fitness and weight-loss goals!

You’ll be able to burn TONS of calories per class because unlike other gyms that have you punching air, we provide real heavy bags to get you toned while you’re having fun! Our classes are between 45 minutes and 1 hour and allow you to go at your own pace. Any level, male or female can take the class regardless of how much experience you have! Just book your free trial and come 15 minutes before your first class so we can give you an orientation that teaches you the keys to a great workout experience at CKO!

We don’t just stop there though! CKO Hoboken offers a wide variety of GREAT features and products! We have 20,000 square feet between 2 floors and if you’re new to CKO Hoboken and live in town, we will upgrade your first free trial class to one free week with the purchase of our starter gloves ($20)! We have a variety of different membership options to fit your lifestyle and we offer great programs geared towards your goals!

She became a member of the CKO Family back in 2013 and has been a member at three of our locations in New Jersey. The entire CKO Hoboken team was very excited when she took on the role of CKO Instructor in 2020! If you are looking for a high cardio/fast-paced class, she is your girl!

FAQS

How long does a CKO Kickboxing class last?

Each class is 1-hour in length and offers a total body workout. You will sweat, de-stress and enjoy exercising more than ever.

What equipment do I need?

Since you will be punching a heavy bag, you will need to protect your hands with boxing/MMA gloves. Feel free to bring your own or we have a variety of gloves available for purchase at the gym. Wear loose fitting, comfortable gym clothes. We guarantee you’re going to sweat. Therefore, shorts will probably be a good option. You will not be permitted to participate in a class unless you are wearing clean sneakers/tennis shoes or socks. Please bring a towel and you will definitely need water or some type of sports drink. These are also available for purchase at the gym.

Do I have to wait for a specific start date?

Once you become a member, you can begin taking classes immediately.

Do I have to have previous kickboxing experience?

The majority of our members have never taken a kickboxing class prior to coming to CKO. However, they get addicted to the workout quickly.

Are there advanced classes and beginner classes?

Since everyone has their own heavy bag to workout on and goes at their own pace, our classes are geared for all fitness levels. Our certified instructors are trained to motivate and push each member to their desired results.

Are there age restrictions?

If a young adult under the age of 18 is interested, a parent/guardian must sign for him or her to take a class. Please inquire within to see if we are currently offering programs for children.

Are the classes co-ed?

We have both male and female members and the classes are mixed.

Am I restricted to a certain number of classes per week?

Your membership entitles you to unlimited classes. You can workout every day if you like.

What are the membership rates?

We have many different programs available. Once you're ready, one of our representatives will go over different pricing options with you.

All of our locations are individually owned and operated. Depending on the market, it can range anywhere from $5 - $25 to take a class in another gym.

How often does a new 10 week program begin?

We offer our 10 Week Challenge Program at different times of the year. Once signed up as a prospect in our system, you will be notified whenever the program is offered.

Are CKO Kickboxing children's classes available?

Due to popular demand, some CKO Kickboxing clubs offer group, co-ed, children's kickboxing classes. Please inquire with your local CKO Kickboxing club to see if the classes are available, and let your voice be heard.
