From the reviews
I began working out at CKO Clifton in December. I had been a member of a previous gym years prior and really wanted to get back into CKO because it had always felt like a complete workout for me.
CKO is an amazing place . I joined Oct 2022. I love the new staff . And the manager. Matt is one of my favorite teachers . He is a great instructor. He takes his time with you . And he tries his best to learn everyone’s name. Which makes you feel good. I also love Jasmine ,Manal, Lisa , and Becky.
I've been coming to CKO for over a year and since day one, I was immediately welcomed to the family. With constant attendance mixed with the great classes that they offer, I've lost a total of 30 pounds - and it's staying off! Even during COVID times, they take great care of cleaning the place.
This is a great workout, I bought a groupon deal for unlimited classes and it was so worth it. The instructors and staff are very friendly and guide you through the process. I cant wait to go back!
New to muay thai? Start at CKO Kickboxing Cedar Grove
CKO Kickboxing Cedar Grove comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at CKO Kickboxing Cedar Grove
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
