ILKB-such an appropriate name. I didnt know what to expect when I went for my first class. I hadnt exercised regularly (really not at all) in about 5 years and had two kids within the last three years, so my body was TIRED, in every meaning of the word. I also had never done kickboxing before so saying I was super nervous is an understatement. Trainers Amber and Jessica were immediately welcoming and reassuring. We sat and talked before class, we talked about me as a person as well as my fitness goals. The class kicked my butt, I mean it KICKED MY BUTT! But it was soooo fun--high energy, challenging, and so worth it! I am now a member of ILKB-Skokie, I joined that first day! I knew this was NOT an ordinary gym; see I am not a gym person, even when I was very active, I was into running outside in the fresh air. Ive had numerous gym memberships but it always felt stuffy and sometimes intimating. So I would just be paying for the idea of gyms because Id literally never go. ILKB had a different vibe. You dont feel like youre at a gym, you are a part of a fit fam, all at different experience levels, all with different goals...and we support each other! And going MIA, thats not allowed! The first time I missed my first week of classes, Amber was calling to check in. They dont stalk you or anything but they do hold you accountable (if you want it) and I appreciate that. ILKB-Skokie is the best! I highly recommend giving it a try!

I picked up a 5 class Groupon Coupon at ILKB Skokie thinking, Oh, 5 classes, maybe I can do that. Never would have thought, that I would walk in, die in the first 15 minutes, yell, swear, scream and absolutely LOVE IT!!! I am not an active person, I am not too enthusiastic about exercise or eating healthy, hell I am not even someone who would run if my life depended on it but there was something about Kickboxing that stuck. I have never been so happy with an impromptu decision I made someday; ILKB Skokie has changed my life for the better. Its not a workout anymore, it feels like life. I have to do this, its an addiction. It keeps me going. I have so much energy and I have so much fun while my ass is being kicked in class. And to top it up, I have had the pleasure of meeting some amazing human beings. So fulfilling in every way. All I have to say is ILKB SKOKIE, YOU ROCK and YOU KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS. I couldnt thank my instructors Jasmine, Jessica, Amber, Jeremy, Travis and Zack (Owner) more, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Im so glad I came upon ilovekickboxing in Skokie as I was driving. I have been feeling very lethargic and weak in the last few months. I have tried crossfit a couple of years ago and I actually liked it, but I got bored and quit. I wanted something new so I purchased a Groupon for ILKBSK. Best decision ever! After my first class I signed up for the unlimited membership - thats how drawn in I was. The facility is clean and the instructors are unbelievable. They make you feel like a friend, they call you by name and they talk to you! Always a welcoming smile when you walk in for your class. Ive never felt intimidated nor unwelcome when Im there. They help you set a realistic goal and walk you through it every step of the way. Thanks for helping me develop a better version of me!

ILKB in Skokie is awesome! I registered online for my free 3 classes back in November 2016. Along with free classes, you will receive free boxing gloves. My first class was very tough & tiring but I loved how I felt afterwards. So I decided to become a member. Every time I attend class I sweat (its extreme sweat at times) and burn tons of calories. I had some ache & pains in my neck & lower back. Since I have been kickboxing the ache & pains slowly went away. I like reading the health & fitness articles instructors post through Facebook. You dont need to have experience in kick boxing to attend a class. The instructors teach you every step of the way. Dont be intimidated! Check it out!!!

I have been trying to live a better lifestyle for over a year now. I joined Planet fitness and worked out about 2-3 times a week there. I saw small results, but still felt like it wasnt enough. I began losing interest in working out and finally learned I didnt know how to properly work out. After passing by Ilovekickboxing Skokie every day on my way to work, I finally decided to buy a 10 class pass and fell in love after my first class! The hour goes by SOOO fast and you have so much fun. The instructors make you feel so good about yourself and everyone is so friendly!

Ive gained my confidence back and Im starting to see some serious results physically and mentally. I love attending classes; they push me harder than I thought I could be pushed and I leave excited to return! Seriously looking forward to their phase three roll out when there will be more morning classes! Not only do the instructors push you but they also care about you, know your name, and are excited to see you every class! The added bonus of having a VIP Facebook group also continues to keep you motivated even outside of class! I love love love I love kickboxing!!

Ive been going to iLoveKickboxing for about 3 months now and I love everything about the experience. All the people in the Skokie gym are phenomenal--staff and members! Everyone is so encouraging and help me kick my fitness goals in the butt. The workouts are challenging but interesting and make me want to keep going back for more. Also, the gym itself is well maintained and I feel comfortable working out there! I highly recommend giving it a shot!

I love ILKB because of the awesome trainers and the really fun, challenging work out! Ive challenged myself and gotten much stronger and leaner, with better muscle definition. Better than any work out I have ever done! Not only have I noticed a difference- but so have other people as well! The best stress reliever I have ever had! I would highly recomend it to anyone ! I have got my whole family signed up.

Let me just say this place is awesome! The instructors are so fun and genuinely care about their members. They challenge you to do your best at your own pace and I cant forget its a GREAT stress reliever. At first you may be nervous, but everyone becomes your friend and you fall in love with kickboxing! I know I did!! I became a 1yr member on my first day and its sooooo worth it!

The staff was shocked when I told them what exactly I was doing there. Updating Google Maps. They were shocked and welcomed me with open arms
