About CKO Roxbury

I’ve been teaching at CKO for about 4 years!  I encouraging people to push themselves  I strongly believe that you can do anything as long as you believe in yourself and try your best!  I am here to help you reach your fitness and life goals!

I’m a mom of one 13 year old girl and teach fifth grade full time! I love working out with my daughter and at CKO!

Jennie initially joined CKO as a member in early 2016. She was hooked from the very first workout and loved that each instructor brought their own unique energy to their classes. No two classes were ever the same, and the variety kept her coming back at least 3-5 days every week! 2 years later Jennie became a trainer and furthered her fitness knowledge by obtaining her personal training certification (CPT) through NASM. Her goal is to make others fall in love with movement by keeping her classes effective and exciting.

Jennie worked for years as a bedside nurse and is now currently home raising her two young children. Besides kickboxing, she loves cats, reading, cold weather, Halloween, and running!

I first became a CKO member in January 2016. I needed to lose weight and get fit in order to get better at martial arts as my hope was to reach a black belt level and be able to teach. Not only did I lose weight, but training at CKO improved my cardio and leg strength which was exactly what I needed. This helped me gain the confidence and skills to start running the martial arts school on my own which I still own right next door!

I have been teaching Tai Chi, Kung Fu, and 52 Blocks (Dirty Boxing) for over 6 years. I live in Roxbury with my wife and two girls.

Casey first joined CKO in 2011 and it instantly became her outlet from the craziness of life. She began training at CKO in 2012. Training and taking classes soon became part of her everyday life. CKO is an essential aspect of her life and where she has met some her best friends.

Casey’s other passions in life include being a high school special education teacher, which she has been for 12 years, spending time with her dog Teddie, and going on adventures with her boyfriend Bobby to find good food.

Katie started with CKO Whippany back in 2013 as a member and quickly fell in love with the work out and gym. Katie quickly became an instructor with CKO Whippany and moved with them to CKO Hanover. Katie and the trainers at CKO Hanover heavily got into obstacle course racing where she met her husband, Danny. Katie taught at CKO Hanover until 2019 and shortly after moved to Succasunna right before the pandemic. Now that the pandemic is over and CKO Roxbury is back so is Katie!

After balancing life as a student and becoming a new mother with my older daughter I was looking for an effective and time efficient HIIT workout that was full-body, physically and mentally. That’s just what the classes at CKO provided me, an hour just for me to get out of my head and put the to-do list aside with a challenging yet obtainable fusion of cardio, calisthenics, and of course the heavy bag.
