Fantastic experience: I have been here for about two months now. These kickboxing classes are the ONLY thing keeping me sane. It's given me a purpose and it's redirected my path of life. Someone warned me that it can be very tolling and to make sure I try it out before I commit (which the location did anyway) and guess what? I was hooked. Despite working out for 45 minutes straight, you leave feeling refreshed and energetic. During my time there, there was a kids summer camp, to which they informed me that when the summer camp is over, we'd be able to stay for like 15 minutes more to squeeze in our own workouts or whatever, which I'm totally looking forward to as well. The people, the atmosphere. The longer you're here, the more they feel like family. Don't be scared to talk to people, odds are, they wanna' talk to you too! I personally attend the morning classes due to my work schedule. I have no clue how I lived without this class, but now that it's in my life, I never want to be without it again. Thank you so much, Family Fitness MMA!!

Fantastic experience: When I joined these classes almost 3 weeks ago, I was simply focused on losing weight but now I thoroughly enjoy them as I also get to learn a very important skill apart from just burning calories. Both Vinh and Jerry put tremendous amount of energy into each session and even motivate us to eat right. What I love most is that since these are high intensity workout sessions, so we really get to push ourselves beyond our limits.

Anupama Sapkota 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Master Vinh & Family Fitness is the place to be! I’ve been coming here with my sister for the past month & have learned so much. I also feel myself growing stronger and becoming more confident - all thanks to master Vinh & Jerry’s teaching.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Master vin pushes you to do more than you probably thought you could. He literally uses every single second to maximize your experience and expectations.

Pragya Sapkota 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I first signed my younger brother up for Karate and he absolutely loves it. The team is super friendly and is handling practices with extra caution due to COVID-19. My sister and I started kickboxing and have only been going for the past two weeks but we love it here! Special shout out to Master Vinh and Jerry who are both very patient and helpful. It's always fun going to class!!

Victoria Holmberg 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing has been a very positive experience for our family. My son has taken part of both the summer program and the after school program with really positive outcomes. He has developed a lot more strength, coordination, focus and discipline. All of the teaches are really good in fostering discipline, respect, focus, physical strength and coordination in their students. The after school program is also a very favorable especially for working parents since they pick the kids up from school, help them with homework as well as enabling them to take classes. The kids are safe and once you pick them up they have run off their steam and have done their homework so you have them evening free for other things. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a good martial arts program for your kids.

Kimberly Gallego 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough praise to Master Vihn and Mister Jerry are fantastic. My daughter has been attending almost a year and the changes have been great. They have helped her with discipline, confidence, focus and best of all self defense.

Raylon Green 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter joined Family Fitness the summer of 2018, from that day until present day she has improved tremendously!!!! She believes in herself, she has self confidence, and she is willing to take risk!! Not to mention the friends that she has made. It’s no wonder this business is called “Family Fitness”. Not only does she attend kickboxing classes, she also is apart of the aftercare. The staff is very reliable and helpful. I truly recommend this kickboxing school to everyone!!

Jerry Marin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a student at Family Fitness MMA for almost 12 years, and the journey from white belt to black belt has been and is still an amazing one! Family Fitness MMA has helped me throughout the years build more confidence, be respectful, responisble and be more diciplined. The adult classes are intense and fast pace which i enjoy very much. Family Fitness MMA has made me feel like I'm part of a family.

Kathrina Manansala-Cosmiano 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn't say enough high praise for Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing. My son has been with the little dragons program and it has helped mold his interpersonal skills, discipline and helped him to be focused in everything that he does. Master Vin and Mister Jerry are very hands on and are incredible in keeping the kids motivated.

Amy Calabrese 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son has been going to this place for a year now and we both love it so much. The instructors are so kind, and understanding and are really there to help your child. My son has gained so much confidence this past year, he went from being a shy little boy, to someone who wants to run and play with everybody! I can not thank them enough for all there hard work and dedication to all their students, and their parents. There not just a school but also a family!

Dane Phillip 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Though it's only been 4 months since joining, Family Fitness has been an integral part of our child's life. The after school program is perfect for our 6-year-old as he gets picked up from school, gets homework help, and MMA classes for a single fee. The teachers are awesome -- firm, but sincere in providing the best care for the students. We can't wait to see his continued growth as we grow with Family Fitness.

Fantastic experience: My 6yr old daughter Arianna, has been attending Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing for almost 2yrs now, and we Absolutely love everything about them. Master Vinh and Mr. Jerry teach each class with so much love, respect, discipline, and dedication. They love and enjoy what they do and their passion definitely shows. In the past year I have witnessed my daughter’s confidence level skyrocket. I smile with so much pride every time she stands up for herself. She has also become more persistent and I love it. We’ve reviewed many different schools before stumbling across this one, which by far, is the most personable and family oriented. We have tried most of the programs they offer like spring camp, summer camp and parents night out. All worth it. I highly recommend Family Fitness. It’s a school that I have learned to trust with my most precious gift..

Michelle Ciriaco 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Kickboxing has been a very welcome change in my life. I’m not very active or athletic but I wanted to improve my health and stamina so I decided to give it a try. The instructors have been excellent- very helpful and patient! They allow you to go at your own pace but encourage you to push yourself. In no time, I was keeping up with the pros. I can already see a huge difference in my body (lost a few inches from my waist, and feel amazing! I highly recommend this place if you wanna get in shape and have fun at the same time!! Thank you family fitness!

Christin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We started more then six months ago and it was for my son to help him focus. During the time we also put our daughter into the program. They are doing great and they love karate. Master Vinh and the rest of his staff are very nice. Always greeting when you arrive. My children learn so much from the program also, they do different events with the children and their families which is amazing. Overall the program is great and I recommended any body to come and join.

Ari P 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been practicing martial arts with the adult group at Central Ave Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing for the past two years and my son – 8 years old- is “on the mat” for more than 4 years. The first thing I would say is that if you are consistent, you will improve your physical condition significantly because every class starts with calisthenics, body conditioning, cardio and strength. I have lost around 15 pounds since I started and strengthened my body and abilities significantly! Second, the teachers are extremely experienced, they are great at pushing you to be better, and they can address a wide range of issues when you need advice. The place is great for kids and there are many kids including my son who have achieved Black Belts or other significant achievements. Third, the martial arts techniques are rich and include elements of Muay Thai, karate, kick boxing, boxing, some grappling and for the higher ranks real self-defense classes like knife defense. Much more comprehensive tools than one single method like karate or Taekwondo. And last, practicing at this dojo is much more than just punching and kicking or being in shape. It’s also about a healthy life style -like what we eat- and what it means to be a respectful person who strives do the best he can. My goal is to keep this life style forever! Ari Perez, Esq

Luzelle Gomez 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been going to Master Vinh's school since January 2018, and she has loved going and learning martial arts ever since. I've credited it to Master Vinh and his staff for being good to kids and for providing a fun way of learning mixed martial arts. I love the good influence MMA has on my daughter that I have joined as well since April 2018. Im learning self defense and losing weight! It also makes me motivated to be stronger and healthier for my daughter and my husband. Im glad to have found this school.

Fantastic experience: My son has been atttending family fitness for a few months now, I must say best decision I made enrolling him. He loves master mike & master vinh , the entire staff makes you feel welcomed. They all are very good with kids, must i say the activities they provide for the kids awesome. They also have taken the headache of planning his birthday party this year, which i must say turned out to be a blast. Thank you to the family fitness staff for allowing us to be apart of your family.

Fantastic experience: We have nothing but good things to say about ffkk. We have seen our daughter blossom and become more confident after every single class. Master Mike, you’re the man!

Carmit Gall 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's no coincidence that the first word in this place's name is 'family'. Master Vinh, Master Mike, the staff and the other members make you feel welcome from the very first punch :) My friend told me about this place a year ago and I signed my son up for the 6 week trial. Until then, my son did not commit to any class. We tried soccer, gymnastics, and taekwondo and he refused to go after the first few classes. But he enjoyed FFMMA right away. The masters and instructors skillfully weave discipline with fun and fitness in each lesson. After the trial was over, and I wanted to sign my son up, they insisted on committing for a year. I was weary, but Master Vinh assured me that part of discipline is showing commitment. My husband and I began the trial program as well. What I love most about it is the rigorous workouts and the combination of cardio, strength and conditioning with self defense and technique. Are you a parent and can't workout because you can't leave your child at home? No problem - you can bring your child and have him/her play or do homework while you workout. A year later, I can say that my son's behavior issues in school improved significantly as well as his confidence. My husband and I are in the best shape of our lives. I highly recommend this program!

maryanne TM 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our son has been attending karate classes since October and we have noticed a significant improvement since. The instructors and staff are friendly and welcoming. Master Mike and Master Vinh are thorough in teaching technique and discipline while instilling respect and self confidence. Our son’s favorite part is the games or races played at the end of class. You can really see the excitement on the kids’ faces. True to their name, there is a sense of family and they invite parents to get involved during parents and me classes. Highly recommended.

Lovely Cee 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My 5 year old son is a member of Family Fitness K and really enjoys going to class as he learns new techniques every session. Not only are the sessions great but the staff here are wonderful! Master Mike and everyone else makes you feel like family. They are very attentive with the children and have great communication skills with them when they are not paying attention. They know how to make everyone feel welcome and always there to answer all my questions. They have many events that brings family together which is why I am glad that my son and I are part of this wonderful place. Recently my son had his 5th bday party here and Master Mike and Jerry were a big part of his celebration as they had each children participate in tug of war, dodgeball, and my baby boy broke a piece of wood with his hand and knee which the children found astonishing! My son was able to hold a real life sword as well. Overall, great place, great people and its all about FAMILY!

Fantastic experience: The name of this place says everything about them. It is a great place to learn and master Karate and Kickboxing. The Masters and staff created an environment that is supportive, safe and feels like second family to us. My son started at Family Fitness a little over 2 years ago, then I joined right after him and my wife joined. The benefits we are experiencing as a family and individually are GREAT: Body and Mind!!! Our daily routine has one thing we don't miss: Kickboxing at Family Fitness! Now they have two locations in Jersey City: The Heights and Downtown.

Master Ving and Master Mike along with the staff make you feel welcome from the minute you walk in . Family fitness karate & kickboxing is very family oriented. I recently signed up my 5 year old son to help improve his behavior. He has been attending Family fitness karate & kickboxing for 3 months and I seen a whole lot of changes in such a short period of time .

Fantastic experience: Last Saturday I attended my niece's birthday party at Family Fitness Mixed Martial Arts. The party turned out to be awesome. Kids and even adults had lots of fun. For some time the kids were taught a couple of moves and then they moved on to playing games. I really liked that the staff engaged kids' parents in the games. That provided for a lot of giggles from the kids and laughter from the parents who were watching. After the games there was a pizza party followed by cake cutting with a real katana. Overall it was a great experience. At the end of the party each kid was offered complimtary lesson to sign up for. I definitely recommend this place as a birthday party venue. Thank you FFMMA!

The average guy In a crazy world 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a well deserved review as we are closing in on a year at this martial art studio and can actually speak from experience. The location is extremely clean, floors are always clean the walls have fresh paint the lay out is not cluttered and they have all brand new and clean equipment. The staff is amazing both Mayer vin and master mike are true professionals their lean fit and respectful their super friendly and demand respect from the kids they truly lead by example. Their under studies are very nice always smiling work well with the kids and pay attention to detail. Last but not least the smiling and informative receptionist who is amazing at her job sweet to the kids, respectful and never stops smiling! They really put the family in family fitness by getting the parents involved in classes, they know all the names to the kids, respectfully greet the parents, and work with you on your bill no matter your budget!!! They understand life is hard times are hard and rather work with you then see your child leave! That’s the key is to keep the kids consistent. They recognize the U.S Holidays and keep everyone in the spirit. They offer a great drop off service for date nights do us parents can get a few hours kid free at an amazing price! They offered a summer camp over the summer we did not partake in due to other obligations and they even have a after school service which is amazing. My kids have made some very good friends here and I met some awesome parents that I’m now friends with. This place is 5 star of course there is always room for improvement I would like to see a competition team be put together and the kids use what they have learned and how they measure up against others trained locally.

Monika Smutek 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been sending my 6 year old daughter to Family Fitness Mixed Marcial Arts studio for a mixed martial arts class since September 2017. She absolutely loves it and I definitely see improvement in her behavior. The studio is clean and the staff are polite and professional. In September 2017 I have attended self defense class. I thought the class was really great and a lot of fun. I definitely learned a few moves which will help me protect myslef from an attacker. I certainly look forward to taking additional self defense classes. I also love that once a month this studio has a parent night where you can drop off your little one for 2 hours on a weekend day while you can run an errand. Additionally, the studio is a birthday party venue. I am looking forward to my girl's birthday party there later this month. I am sure everyone will have lots of fun! I definitely recommend sending your kid there for a variety of activities this studio offers. Thank you Family Fitness Mixed Martial Arts studio for proving so much entertainment to me and my daughter.
