One of the best CKO/kickboxing experiences I've ever had!…read more I was gifted 5 classes (via Groupon) from a friend and it's one of the most rewarding presents ever. There are plenty of classes available with different instructors at various times throughout the week. On weekend mornings, there are a few options which is great, especially for those like myself who may not wake up in time for the first class. All instructors exceeded my expectations - they never pushed us to do more than our bodies could handle. They taught in a way that motivated me to push myself. I left each class feeling better and looking forward to the next one.

Yet to start but everyone was super helpful. And provided me with great assistance. This was a…read moresurprise for my husband and the whole staff played along . Loved it!

This academy is composed of friendly and knowledgeable staff who routinely exceed our expectations…read more Their program is more than kicks and punches. Their programs focus on character building and confidence building as well! Classes are offered at a wide variety of days and times. The dojo looks and smells clean... they also offer a great afterschool and summer program! In addition to all of this, they have special events for holidays and parents-nights out. This business is definitely worth joining!

The best decision we have made for our son! We have tried other karate places in the area and this…read moreone is the best by far. The ratio of instructors to children is perfect. Gives the younger kids a more hands on learning experience. They are dedicated to your children and help them achieve their potential by creating goals and following through. The classes are 45 minutes long which is a perfect amount of time for the younger kids. It's a very positive friendly environment. I strongly recommend this place.

When I came in to speak to Jana about signing up, she told me about their adult kickboxing program. I was hooked! I made the decision to stop being a spectator and join in on the action. This experience has changed my son and I for the better. His behavior has improved and the principles he learns in class help him communicate better than he ever has. We look forward to growing more as a family and improve together.

I wrote an honest subjective narrative about my experience with SMA and now I'm being threatened by…read morethe owners of this place to take my rating down or they will take me to court for "defamation". Talk about bullies. I thought martial arts was supposed to be a place to combat bullies? I will not be silenced. I joined the SMA kickboxing classes in January 2016 via a Living Social Deal iLoveKickboxing. After those classes were used, I decided to purchase 35 classes. The instructor was absolutely INCREDIBLE. If this review was for him, it would get 5 stars. However, he is no longer teaching there. I noticed recently that SMA exchanged most of their kickboxing branding from iLoveKickboxing to "SMA X-Treme", while still keeping the iLoveKickboxing products and not purchasing anything new. The bags are in terrible condition with hardly any padding left and someone could get seriously injured. I did my research and noticed that they are no longer members of the iLoveKickboxing website. When asked when they'll be getting new bags. They say they have no money. So my question is... Where are the members fees going? Where is the money from the children's karate classes going? To the owner's vacations? To their pyramid schemes that they constantly force upon their clients on Facebook? (31 gifts, Isagenix, etc.). I have at least 20 classes left of my membership and I'd rather throw away my money than go back to a place that mistreats their employees and their clientele. (I would like to note that I have not talked to my old instructor about this review and he has done nothing to influence my decision to write this review. In fact, he begged me to take it down. But I would not because I think it's more important to stick up for what I believe in).

Most frequent users prefer it on the hotter side. It was under 160 degrees this morning which is an improvement from 140 degrees last week so I increased the score. With consistency at 160 degrees or above I will continue to update my review positively. Obviously lower than 160 degrees will result in a lower score.

I visited this location on a weekday morning for their cycling class and was positively surprised…read more First of all, this is one of the few north jersey LA Fitness locations that offer multiple spin classes on weekday mornings at 8:15am and 9:15am (check their website for full schedule). Also, the instructor was good and there were around 15 people which is good for a weekday morning class. Class started and ended on time. They offer the standard gym equipment and some of them seem to be pretty old including a couple broken ones so this definitely needs some improvement. There's plenty of parking since this gym is part of a huge shipping center. I didn't have to interact with any of their staff members and didn't use their lockers or pool facilities so I can't comment on that.
