CKO Kickboxing North Brunswick: Opinions

Thank you so much! Let's make 2026 our best year yet for both us-Matt

Well said. And thank you for so much for being part of our fitness family.

Fantastic experience: As an overweight, middle-aged guy who sometimes struggles to stay inspired (and let’s be honest, occasionally struggles just to put on socks without a sound effect), I can say this without hesitation: CKO Kickboxing in North Brunswick has been a game changer for me. From day one, the entire staff has been relentlessly positive, motivating, and real. There’s no intimidation, no performative fitness nonsense—just coaches who genuinely care about meeting you where you are and helping you move forward. What really stands out is how diversified the workouts are. No two classes feel the same, which keeps both my body and my attention engaged. I never feel bored, and I never feel written off because of my age, size, or fitness level. The instructors have an incredible way of pushing you without shaming you, encouraging you without sugarcoating, and inspiring you to show up even on the days when motivation is nowhere to be found. They don’t just lead workouts—they help you build accountability. Not in a guilt-driven way, but in a “you’re capable of more than you think, now let’s prove it” way. Somehow, through consistent encouragement and smart programming, CKO has made me want to hold myself accountable. I find myself thinking about class during the day. I don’t want to miss it. I don’t want to let myself down. That’s not something I expected—but it’s something I deeply appreciate. If you’re someone who feels stuck, out of shape, or just disconnected from fitness—and you want a place that will challenge you while still supporting you—this is it. CKO Kickboxing North Brunswick doesn’t just help you sweat. It helps you believe you can keep showing up.
JC, I just got a chance to read all of this and I really appreciate you speaking from the heart, the time and effort to share this. Since you've been coming here we have become friends. You helped my daughter, we went for pizza in belmar. I'm just glad you're here and that you guys all start out as members but become so much more!
Fantastic experience: Matt is the best!
Lol, Edita you are the best! You've been with us for years now and here's to many more!
Fantastic experience: I am a 70 year old woman and trying kickboxing was a great decision. I was able to try a class for free and was immediately hooked. The owner Zena is amazing and very accommodating. The instructors are great. Parking is easy. There is nothing negative. Highly Recommend
Randi, thank you so much for your review. That is exactly how we want to make you feel. From the desk person to our trainers, from our owners to our members, we all want to feel that way. Kickboxing is for everyone, all ages!!
Fantastic experience: I joined CKO recently with my daughter and found a new level of personal challenge for myself which has been so fun, rewarding and beneficial. Everyone I've met at CKO has been positive and encouraging and has made the experience so gratifying.
Anita thank you so much! That is exactly the feeling we want from all our members. We all love what we do and sharing it with you! -matt perrella
Fantastic experience: My experience with North Brunswick CKO is amazing !!! I enjoy the classes and the trainers are always there to help with any questions I may have… the trainers are motivating and the classes are always a great time … ilove cko !!!!
Ty so much! It's been wonderful having so many of you coming from CKO Somerset. We look forward to delivering this feeling for you and our members every single class! It never gets old and it's why we love what we do!
Fantastic experience: The N Brunswick establishment is a clean, and super fun location with parking. Tho encouraged to do what you can at your own speed, all instructors perform a safe/intense workout. From hitting the bag you select (different weight capacity) with punching and kicking combos, core isolation to hand/barbell weights/medicine balls. Warm ups/down, breathing and stretching techniques are included as well. All while speaking clearly using a headset, listening to a music selection of their choice to entice an upbeat mood. They provide a cleaning solution/paper towels to wipe your area after your workout. SUPER DIVERSE from ages etc., to skill levels, ALL ARE WELCOMED, advanced and beginners (like myself) however, I don’t feel judged as instructors and seasoned participants alike take the class also. I look forward to every class as early as 5:30am to evening time slots (Not really any late afternoon wkday classes 12-3 or late Sat-Sun. Get it in early, ppl have lives!) as I continue my 16wk challenge. I also anticipate making this type of exercise regimen a way of life to stay fit and physically healthy…. And it’s so much fun!
That is exactly how we want all our members to feel. Thank you so much, this was a very nice read and much appreciated -matt, Zina & the entire CKO NB Team

Fantastic experience: Great place to get a killer workout! Growing up as a martial artist, I longed for the kicks and punches but did not want the martial art training and structure. CKO NB was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I truly appreciate how welcoming and warm the owner and instructors are, they are amazing and make you feel like family! They empower you and make you feel great about yourself! Special shout out to Zina who not only welcomes you ever single time you show up for class but greets you by NAME and a hug. I love this place!
And we love you! This is exactly how we want every person who walks through our doors. Wether you have a martial arts background or zero experience we want you to feel confident in our instructors but more importantly extremely cared for. Exercise routines are hard but it's our goal to make ours something you look forward to every time you come.
Fantastic experience: My favorite place to be! It feels like a second home and one big family. I know I always have a place I am welcome when I just need somewhere to go - everybody is there for me. The trainers are amazing and hardworking and are always pushing/helping me to improve too! So glad I joined CKO NB, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be!
AJ youre like a sister now!! we all love you so much, keep up the great work!

lol Yes Rich, even old guys like us can still beat those bags up and crush our workouts! we love having you!
Fantastic experience: I joined CKO over a year ago. It is more than a gym it is family! The instructors genuinely care about you and motivate you to become better in all aspects of your life. I love how they taught me to move at my space and speed. I love how there is no judgment if you can't do something but encouragement. Keep trying until you can. This is a place where friends become family. Kimberly Isler
Zoe! You nailed it, just like you nail your workouts we say it in class "i'm not concerned about the person next to you or across from you, I just want your best, whatever that is, whatever that looks like.
We are her for everyone, all levels, to be the best versions of ourselves we can be. Thank you Zoe!
Fantastic experience: Since never had background in kickboxing so this is great place to start and keep sharpening your skills. The coaches and trainers are excellent and have great patience in teaching you the moves. Special shout out to Carlos and Matt who were vital in teaching me and my wife!!
thank you so much Gurvi, you were both a pleasure to work with, so committed, so positive and so eager to learn. Can't wait to see both of you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I have nothing to say but great things about this gym and it’s staff. I joined in January 2019. The trainers I worked with are all very friendly as well as knowledgeable. The classes are a great and intense workout. Great for all levels. When I joined I was nervous because besides the occasional jog, I didn’t really work out consistently. The first few classes were exhausting, but also fun and motivating. I tend to not stick to gym routines because of boredom, but I promise you will never get bored here. Matt, the owner, handled COVID-19 so well and I always feel safe working out at this gym. If you have any doubts about joining this location, don’t. You won’t regret it! Thank you to Matt & his entire team!
Jennifer you are amazing and it's our members just like you that make us all that we are. The entire team will always put you 1st, do all we can to keep you safe and help you reach your goals!
Fantastic experience: The instructors are fantastic! They care about all the participants in the room. The classes are energetic and challenging. You can go at your own fitness level while being inspired to go one step further. No matter what you choose to do, you feel like a rock star in the end! The facility is clean and comfortable. The results are undeniable!
Vasi thank you so much! we miss your face, hopr to see you in class soon!
Positive experience: Cko North Brunswick is great! The instructors actually care to get to know you and they truly make class fun. Everyone is so welcoming here. The workouts are intense and I have yet to leave after a class not drenched in sweat and smiling ear to ear! I recommend it to everyone! 9/10/23 I'm editing this review because I canceled my membership in October 2022 with the owner and suddenly started getting charged monthly again (a higher amount even than I was paying when I was a member) in June 2023 and still cannot get resolution from CKO. I have a chain of emails where I am just ignored. No one is there to help me when I am in the area as my work hours are concurrent with their class schedule. It's a shame because I thought this was a great small business for the area and they have since proved me wrong. 1/10/24 Updated again - finally resolved my situation. I still think CKO North Brunswick is great if you are looking for a fantastic workout and crew. My schedule just doesn't work with their class times anymore.
OMG Jen, we had no idea, you have my cell, I even been saving that hoodie for you, text me 7322165217 I will take care of it right away! We canceled as requested and have no idea how it started billing you again. I'm sorry that happened and you could reach us by phone but happy you let us know here, im on it-matt
Fantastic experience: Going to CKO in North Brunswick has been a wonderful experience. The trainers keep you engaged and energized. Everyone looks so happy and welcoming and that makes me look forward going to the gym. Having EXCELLENT trainers and seeing friendly people make my trip to this gym worthwhile.
your feedback was so impactful! This is the exact feeling we want for every person who walks through our doors. I shared this with our entire team and I am not exaggerating when I say I teared up doing so. This is why we do what we do so thank you Rocel!
Fantastic experience: I have been an athlete my entire life and after my wedding and do to the pandemic I gained weight and didn’t feel like myself anymore. Thanks to the amazing coaches and programs at CKO North Brunswick I was able to find my love of sports and love for myself again. They supported me during my pregnancy and kept me healthy for a healthy baby. The classes are great for all levels of people and the coaches will show you whatever modification you might need so you can get the maximum workout for you
Hey you! Thanks but the honeymoon is over lol literally.. only your last name changed so lets get to work! See ya soon!
Fantastic experience: CkoNB is a fantastic workout no matter which class you attend, but what’s even better is the culture. I started at CkoNB to get wedding ready a few years ago and here we are today where for my second pregnancy I was able to keep kicking for over 30 weeks Bc I felt like I had such a great support system in Matt and the staff (who were constantly cheering me on). Now for the recovery journey with my favorite gym staff!
cant wait to see that lil nugget!
Fantastic experience: I am very happy to be back after almost 18 months. The trainers are amazing and got me motivated from day one. After each class I am looking forward to book the next one.
Abhi you guys are the best and so happy to have you back!

Fantastic experience: If you want to get in a great workout, CKO in North Brunswick is the place to be. The trainers are motivating and knowledgeable. The members are truly a family. Both my sister and I joined over the summer and we’re so glad we did. Come check it out. The only thing you have to lose are inches and pounds
thanks so much Chris!
Fantastic experience: Honestly what a fantastic experience. I have never felt so good and interested in wanting to work out. The trainers keep you engaged and the owner Matt has an upbeat fantastic attitude. Here at CKO you aren’t just a random person you are family. Get addicted!
Fantastic experience: CKO North Brunswick is great. You can’t have a bad workout there; they tell you what to do for 60 minutes straight and it’s a lot of fun. All the trainers are high energy, and most know you by name. I never feel any pressure or judgment from the trainers or other members. CKONB is also being very careful during COVID-19; mopping between each class, taking temperatures upon entry, and reminding everyone to wear their masks. I definitely recommend it.
Thank you so much, it's members like you that make what we do easy and personal
Negative experience: This review is in response to franchise co-owner, Matt Perrella, on Dan Elghossain's gym review (Google Reviews), as it relates to claims made by the franchise co-owner in regards to past business dealings with Dan Elghossain and danelgoVISION. Matt responded to Dan Elghossain's review and has falsely made claims that danelgoVISION attempted to barter with CKO North Brunswick (CKO NB) with the aim to obtain gym services. Attached to this review is the conversation in which Matt was the one who attempted to obtain professional video services from danelgoVISION via a barter. His claim is untruthful (conversation is documented and attached). Unfortunately, danelgoVISION was not in a position to barter, but offered a discount to the co-owner. CKO NB still did not have the budget and said maybe in the future. Dan came back to the gym where he remained a member and to Matt's face apologized as no deal could be made at that time. Dan made sure to offer other forms of help to Matt, and continued to give Matt business by paying for multiple, full-priced, monthly memberships, including extras like pad training. Matt seemed fine for some time after this failed dealing and Dan and Matt continued a cordial gym member / gym co-owner relationship. Matt showed glimpses of his frustration for months after his barter offer could not be accepted, and it became apparent after some time that he was bitter as he attempted to ignore Dan in the gym. Ultimately, this lead to the issue in Dan Elghossain's review of an error-ed automatic charge which was raised January 3rd, 2020, where Matt said he would refund via text, and then got angry and tried to end the relationship; still having not issued the refund after proof of error and as of this review. Matt also claimed that Dan didn't want to train with a woman. This is also false as Dan has trained with women for years. What Matt fails to acknowledge was Dan told Matt he never met, and didn't know, the woman trainer he selected for intimate, one-on-one, pad training sessions. Dan had known this other male "worst trainer" from the previous owner, and that he was a good person. He was Dan's heavyweight size and Dan's preference to train with. This "worst trainer" was an employee of Matt's, and yet Matt talked badly about him behind his back to Dan (documented), and continues to do so. Not sure why this gender claim was brought up by Matt when Dan Elghossain trained with one of his other female trainers who Dan actually knew from class. Matt's response to the review is an attempt to spread falsities about Dan Elghossain as Matt faces truth being presented to him. danelgoVISION, LLC and Dan Elghossain will defend against franchise co-owner Matt Perrella and his lying in all forms--on the internet, in person, legally, and in the court of public opinion. danelgoVISION, LLC stands 100% firm with Dan Elghossain's review proving 8+ months of withholding of a member's funds, avoiding documented evidence, ignoring official attempts at communication via franchise email, phone, and delivery of documents via Certified Mail on multiple occasions. Matt had offered Dan refund on January 3rd 2020 prior to COVID-19 (documented and attached). It's not so much about the $60 dollars, even though it is obvious Matt was and is making it difficult to retrieve the error-ed amount he said he would refund, but it's rather about principle and because defending what is right is the only way, especially if Matt wants to diminish his failure to handle the situation privately and continue spreading falsities. Dan Elghossain's financial information is in CKO NB's possession and CKO NB has still not yet provided receipt of removal per a former member's official notice. If there is a valid reason why this cannot happen, please communicate via Certified Mail. Unlike Matt Perrella, ignoring Certified Mail is not something Dan Elghossain chooses to do.

I rather meet up with you face to face man to man then hide behind google reviews and snail mail.. i am sure we could have worked this out well atleast i can speak for my own mental health & state of mind but should we be unable i am willing to yake whatever Dan thinks I owe him multiply it by 2 and donate to the charity of Dan's choice but i cannot in good conscience acquiesce to Dan's unreasonable claimems or demands upon our business.
Negative experience: All relevant conversations are documented and I state this with the utmost care to accuracy. Please allow me to also note that prior to writing this public review, this issue was raised on January 3rd, 2020 before COVID-19 shutdowns. I allowed ample time for responses, as well as made every reasonable, civil effort to comply with proper protocols for supplying information and bringing an issue to the table to the franchise location co-owner which I will be writing this review about. My issue is only with him, not his partner and co-owner at the time, and not with CKO as a company as I have been a loyal patron for several years prior to this co-owner taking over CKO North Brunswick from the previous owners. Since January 3rd, 2020, after I raised an issue of an automatic billing error to the co-owner, Matt, and after a documented offer for a refund and acceptance of that refund, I have yet to receive my refund. I had made several official attempts via email, phone, and text message prior to COVID-19 shutdowns and have been responded to with virtually no responses, anger on a calm phone call resolve attempt, which resulted in the gym co-owner hanging up on me (documented). I complied with all information asked of me to solve my approximate $64 billing issue being raised, even after he told me on January 3rd, 2020 the refund was an option. I was patient during COVID-19 and as I began to notice social media activity and presence inside the gym, I continued to follow up. I sent a Certified Letter, with signature confirmation, which included 20+ pages of conversations and attempted contact, with time stamps and evidence of the error. Certified Mail makes multiple attempts at delivery and leaves a notice on the door that a letter was attempted to be delivered, and is held at the post office for pick up for a certain amount of time. This first Certified Letter was returned to me, unclaimed, about a month later. No problem, perhaps COVID-19 shutdowns prevented him or an adult representative from being at the gym to retrieve the letter. I took a photo and sent it to him on Instagram Direct Messages and he acknowledged they were ignoring my attempts at contact, all of which were follow ups and providing of information to prove this matter as an error. I prefered to discuss this matter via official channels, however, and asked him for those official channels, as I would not discuss on Instagram DM, especially after sending Certified letter to the franchise. Certified Mail communication is widely recognized as a form of official business. He responded on Instagram DM with acknowledging that they were ignoring me, and made claims of me taking advantage of the gym and that they would submit a claim of harassment. I did not respond then. I followed up again with the same compliance, conversation history, evidence, and an updated letter, and sent a 2nd Certified delivery with signature confirmation. The gym's social media and indoor space activity had been on the rise at this point. Same result a month later. An unclaimed letter. To answer his claims: I have not stepped foot in that gym for any amount of time for which I was not allowed to be there. Nor have I harrased you, your co-owner, or any individual by rightly following up and pursuing my refund via all official methods. I am still asking for my refund amount which is well documented and I am additionally asking for all removal of my financial information from your records to prevent any further charges to my card. My official communication method is Certified Mail and I need receipt of my refund and removal of information via official mail only. I can update on this matter publicly when I receive these receipts. If you wish to escalate this matter, I will be willing to use this review in addition to all previous evidence in any form of debate with hopes to come to a resolution. I encourage you to provide evidence of my harrasment, and my taking advantage of your gym, before you proceed to make these claims against me publicly. Caution if you decide to give him your business.
Dan has been taking advantage of our establishment for a very long time. Dan never wants to pay for anything & wants all the services. I challenge you to find anyone that feels like dan does. I have even offered to make up services for people who felt less than satisfied at other cko's that have nothing to do with us just because thats the type of person I am. However, Dan is the exception where I stop making exceptions.
Dan offered to barter services with us so he wouldn't have to pay but when we agreed he still wanted to charge us a premium saying he would discount his service but not a straight barter because what he does is too valuable. Apparently Dan is the only small business owner who deserves to be paid. Id rather donate 1k to Dan's favorite charity than refund an unwarranted $60 bucs.
I would normally just do it to avoid a bad google review but Dan is where I draw the line. This guy is a nut. Nothing is ever good enough for him. He wanted personal training so i paired him with the best, he then wanted my worst trainer instead because the trainer i paired him with was a female. He has knocked our studio & everything we do for a long time yet he kept coming back for more but only if we agreed to deep discounts.. sorry dan.. the free or discounted ride is over. This is my opinion and not that of cko or cko nb- matt perrella 732-216-5217
Fantastic experience: Awesome energy and super friendly staff, I always look forward to my next class!
Jonathan we especially thank you for the review & if there is ever anything not up to par please let us know. We love having you in class & keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: Honestly what a fantastic experience. I have never felt so good and interested in wanting to work out. The trainers keep you engaged and the owner Matt has an upbeat fantastic attitude. Here at CKO you aren’t just a random person you are family. Get addicted!
Nelson! you are so focused on your goals, keep up the great work and thanks for the 5 star review!
Fantastic experience: CKO North Brunswick provides members with a fun and challenging workout. The hour workout goes by so quickly and every single class is different. Not only are you burning calories and building muscle, but you are letting out all of your stress and energy. CKO North Brunswick motivates you to reach your goals, workout at your own pace and the entire atmosphere is positive and friendly. People of all ages and all fitness levels are welcome as you can modify each workout to fit your own needs. Management is also active in the community and gives back many times throughout the year. CKO NB has become my family and my second home.
So glad you took us up on the offer to becomenone of us! You & Kevin were such great members, amazing people & outstanding fitness professionals. Ty!!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member to many gyms and another CKO location. I have never enjoyed going to any gym, running, working out, or felt like I was comfortable and belonged until I found CKO North Brunswick. It is so much more than just a kickboxing class. I have made new friends, pushed myself to do things I never would and truly enjoy and look forward to going and working out now All the instructors have their own style and make each class an awesome full body workout. I have been going for a little over a year and so happy with the new CKO family I have gained!
Fantastic experience: Do you want an upbeat, motivating, challenging workout.? In a non judgmental, caring environment? Walk into this gym and that's what you'll get. I am 58 years old and more than 100 lbs overweight! This gym is for everyone. It doesnt matter what your fitness level is or what your goals are they will help you get to where you want to be. I cant say enough good things about this place.
And you are beautiful, strong and an example for us all to follow. When i talk about CKO i brag about Patti! You are why we do what we do & you don't realize who you inspire!
Fantastic experience: So much to say about CKO North Brunswick. The workout is simply amazing!!! I had let my health go for a few years due to family obligations when Matt told me to come in and give the workout a try. Over the last year and a half I have taken back control of my health with CKO. I am addicted to the workouts. Every trainer has a different personality and background making every class unique. You will never get bored doing the same workout because no class is ever the same. This isn’t like joining a big box gym.. Beyond the workout, the family culture/support network that this gym has is just amazing. By punching a bag you get an entire staff and family who support your health journey and truly have an interest in you being successful. Members and trainers not only work out at the gym but also get together outside of gym hours to run together for various charities and attend social events. I have meet so many new people thru CKO that are there for health support, strength and above all friendship in general. Don’t hesitate take your free class, give it a try and join the family. You will get addicted!!!
You taught me how to run 11 years ago so happy i get to share my workout with you! Thanks Dave! We love seeing your kids in class and taking your wifes class too!
Fantastic experience: Thanks to CKO I finally found an exercise regimen that I absolutely love and have been sticking with consistently! Great instructors who are always there to answer any questions you have and give you an awesome workout. Owner Matt does an awesome job of fostering a welcoming fitness community within the gym for people of all different ages and abilities. CKO North Brunswick has absolutely changed my life for the better and I highly recommend you check it out!
our members even get jobs from working here lol thanks julie, we hope your new job with out partner Core Spine & Wellness in East Brunswick is going as good as your workouts!!
Fantastic experience: CKONB has been my gym home for 3 years now and I am still motivated, challenged and inspired as I was on day 1. I’ve been to other gyms, but this place is special—from the trainers to the gym goers. Matt has a diverse team of instructors that take the time to properly demonstrate form while making each class different AND FUN! If you’re looking for an amazing workout among top trainers and great people, you have to give CKONB a try!
thank you Michelle! you have seen us grow and get better every day, it is our goal just like you to keep doing so! we love being your gym of choice, your fitness family!
Fantastic experience: I have been working out here for 3 years. The most amazing experience I could ask for in a work out. Matt is a fantastic owner and guided me to become a trainer of the cko gym. This gym is my second family and I love everything about it and what It stands for. It’s diversity and inclusiveness! We are all one big family.!!
"You're my boy blue". I said when I 1st met you & your wife "you guys are what I want our gym to look like". Not sure you knew what I meant then or that both of you would become trainers for us hut I know you do now. Thank you Kevin
Fantastic experience: CKO North Brunswick is a great place to work out PLUS a great contribution to our community! I have such a feeling of accomplishment every time I complete a class, no matter your fitness level you are welcomed and taught how to make the most of your time. They are one of the most supportive businesses in town, and they truly love their community inside and out of the gym!
Thank you so much Tracie! Our best to you, Michael & the fam! Of course! We all may not have money to throw at a cause but attendance, effort and showing support doesn't cost a thing. We will be here for our community who is always there for us. A long time North Brunswick Mayor once said "these are my people" and that is exactly what you all are!
Fantastic experience: Cko north Brunswick has been a life changer for most I know, myself included! Aside from a kickass FULL body workout, the atmosphere it exudes is unlike any other. It is because of this establishment that people amongst this gym have found a place to call their HOME. A place where we fit in and feel connected. I have never found a gym more inviting and effective than Cko North Brunswick. I HIGHLY recommend it! Come get addicted and join the team!
Came in over a year ago as complete stranger, had a less than fulfilling experience at another CKO but loved the workout so gave us a try! Now she found a culture, a home, a place of lifelong friendships! So happy you are with us!
Fantastic experience: This place is first class. The trainers are absolutely fantastic, and Matt the owner takes a genuine interest in all of his members. Whether it is a physical fitness question, talking about work or the family Matt is amazing. Every class is different, which keeps it interesting. I recommend CKO to anyone looking to challenge themselves.
Thanks Jeff! I'd like to think people walk in as strangers and in no time are family.
And if that can happen with a Redsox fan from Boston & a Yankees fan from NY like me then there isn't anyone that can be excluded from this CKO Family
Fantastic experience: CKO NB is not just a gym it is a family. I have been attending for over a year now, i call a lot of the people there my friends. The trainers push you in a positive way to achieve your goals. Matt the owner is always there to help give you the extra push. He is also very involved in the community from fundraising for different events to running multiple 5K's as a team. The trainers make you enjoy working out.
we love being part of your journey and making a difference in your life! thank you for the review and for all you and jeff do to keep making us the best product. family around!!
