They also don't have lockers for their customers, they use them to instead store brooms & shit. No water fountains either, you have to bring your own bottle. Is this what I'm spending $50/m for?

Since my son has joined, his confidence and selfesteem has gone up, his fitness and skills have also increased. He's made new friends and has a new love and respect for the sport and culture. That's all thanks to coach Desmond and his staff. This gym has become part of our extended family.

She plays amazing music and really gets into the class, which makes it fun. I also appreciate how she incorporates weight training into her spin classes. Her classes are better than SoulCycle and cheaper! I have been looking for fun and less expensive cycle classes. I'll have to give her other classes a try, but I was so pleased with her class, I bought a package. I also appreciate what a great communicator she is. When I contacted the website asking about a class, she responded right away. Cute studio too!

We signed up for a promotion on kickboxing and before I finished 3sessions I enrolled for yearly program. Mrs. Allison is so caring that shortly after meeting her, she took an important place on turning my life around. Every time I look forward to going there. All instructors are amazing and they all have their own style which makes you learn something new every time and challenges your body and mind which helps you to grow. I can see myself going there till I am 85 years old... maybe even older lol :) I think it's obvious that I love this place, go there not just for kickboxing, exercise, kungfu, thaichi etc.. but to turn your life around from outside to inside!

Before writing my review - I took the time to read other reviews that are posted for inspiration…read moreand talking points (both negative and positive). I started at Evolution in the Fall of 2013 with the intentions of joining the fight team. By the Summer of 2014, I had my first fight with Evolution and won unanimous. Prior to becoming a member at Evolution I had a strong background in Karate & Boxing. However, there were a lot of holes in my game that Brandon quickly fixed. He is excellent at translating information, correcting form, providing motivation, and creating a platform for individuals to grow. Not only did I win my first fight under Brandon, but by 2016 I achieved 5 championship belts and a Gold Medal for Team USA. From originally having an awkward style to becoming proficient in Muay Thai - I would say Evolution is an outstanding place to train. Whether you are training to fight, become fit, build confidence, or learn the techniques - YOU will get all of that accomplished here. The amount of work you invest in your training will reflect. I don't have anything negative to say about this gym, but a response to the reviews that are not 5 stars: 1. If it is your FIRST TIME visiting, arrive on time. 2. The gym is usually HOT when it's crowded. As a person who occasionally travels to Thailand for extensive training - I prefer training in warm facilities to prevent injuries and sweat out sodium. 3. Brandon is comical, but just like any trainer - he knows when to be serious. Training is already tough and can be intimidating to newcomers, so it's important to remember to have fun.

Visited UFC Gym with my friend for a kickboxing class. Upon entering I was greeted by a nice lady…read more She had us scan a QR code and fill out a form and sign a waiver. She showed us around the gym. It was a bit small compared to others but they had all the workout equipment and space needed to do what you needed to do. They have a bunch of other type of classes like jiu jitsu, boxing, muay thai, and yoga. We began classes at the exact time it was supposed to start. I liked the music that was playing. It made you really hyped and ready to get started. The warm-up was REALLY intense for a beginner class. I would have liked if it was a bit more step by step since it was entirely new to me. We were then shown some basic movements for boxing and that was more repeated to grasp and we hit the punching bags. I never sweated so much! Be ready to get a major workout! When leaving we were able to grab free food samples from Made Meals Co! They deliver meals that are made with local and organic ingredients. I had grilled chicken, broccoli, and sweet potatoes. Definitely helped restore my energy! Overall I liked the experience but I definitely think I needed a more basic and step by step class to ease my way in.

The best real estate in Hoboken - huge space to spread out and you don't feel like you're on top of…read moreyour neighbor. The instructors teach really detailed but easy to follow techniques - I found Rumble to be way too complicated. They teach you fundamentals here but let you express whatever motions in a guided way so you're not thinking so hard about what to do but rather just releasing the stress. I love the floor to ceiling bags (as opposed to the hanging water ones) and the soft flooring is so comfortable. I also have to mention they clean this place multiple times per day - a dedicated crew cleaning and fixing things why it's always immaculate. I'm not sure if they officially own upstairs at 9th Street gym too but that is the best body builders gym in Hoboken. I only took a star off because the staff can be a little cold / unfriendly sometimes.

Prior to CKO Hoboken, I was a member of CKO Jersey City so I've been a long time fan of the work out you get here. It's always challening but in the best way. The trainers push you to be better and they care about your form. If you're looking for a group workout that encompasses a lot of different things, then come here. It's also helpful that the front desk employees are so kind and have a smile on their face when you walk in at 7am. When I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's, the CKO Team was quick to help advertise my fundraiser. This place is the best, highly recommend for ALL ages and stages in your fitness journey. You're certainly welcomed here.

I cannot believe it myself. This place is amazing. The most important thing you need to know is…read morethis: the people, both staff and students are what makes this place the life changing community that it is. I am NOT A GYM person. However, I was hooked to kickboxing and boxing the minute I finished the first class. Sure, I was sore like nobody's business and in places where nobody has business being sore. But let me tell you, you will want more. You will come back and you will ask for more of that pain that feels so good. Trust me. My heart has never beat so fast, nor hard and I have not sweat this much at Bikram yoga. I seriously had an adrenaline rush and a bit of an urge to lay down on the floor for a breather....um, you know, a rest. I wish they had a pool or hot tub because that would ensure that I would never leave (That and obviously work and stuff). The trainers are positive motivators who are passionate about perseverance in fitness and give you personal attention. (Kick Ass, SeaBass) Nothing beats punching out your aggression, getting a great, total body workout all while improving your life.

I'm mixed about Title, because I prefer technical workouts, and this is not that. The focus here is…read moremore so cardio, with some very basic movements thrown in, like planks and mountain climbers, for the warm-up and post-boxing parts. I went through ClassPass, and Bart was the instructor. It was hard for me to not only remember the moves, but also reverse them (I'm left-handed), so I got more of a mental workout than anything else lol. I did break a sweat, but it wasn't much. I needed more, so I literally took a CrossFit class a couple hours after coming here. Things to know: Must buy hand wraps, which are $10 They give you shower towels only after class Three shower stalls Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, and deodorant available Gloves are included Bring sneakers, face wash, cream, and flip-flops Things that could use improvement: Lower the music so we can hear instructions Provide face towels for class Focus more on form on the non-boxing stuff Provide friendlier customer service Create a warmer, more welcoming environment Possibly include the wraps, like every other boxing studio does? Probably wouldn't go back, but if you're looking for cardio boxing, it'll do.
