At the beginning of the year I had my physical. The doctor said if I didnt get my sugar down Id have to start being treated for type 2 diabetes. I was 235 lbs. As of today, Ive lost 45 lbs. Cholesterol, sugar, etc. All improved. I also use an app on my phone. The app I use tracks calories, carbs, sugars, protein, and exercising. Im on a 1200 calorie a day diet. Some days I cheat but Im mostly good and recently just started following some of the advice on the ilovekickboxing diet plan. Results: Type January March Clt 244 224 LDL 148 139 Tri 180 137 Sugar 108 94 The nurse who called with the results in March said “Doctor says no action to be taken, just keep doing what you’re doing. What medicine did he put you on? I said ‘ None. I’m kickboxing, elliptical and eating right’ ” Ive recently had a pair of pants that I couldnt button in December fall off of me mid-stride. In addition to the weight loss, I have found strength - I went up all the steps at the Pens game without losing my breath. Ive also found that my stress level is so much better. I vent and laugh at kickboxing. Its cheaper than therapy or a lawyer! Nothing is better. The elliptical is boring. The pace for kickboxing is perfect. At the beginning I couldnt do sit ups or push ups or 1/2 of the stuff. Now Im pretty much keeping up with the rest of the pack. The instructors are terrific. Not military style - fun and engaging

Just moving to Pittsburgh 3 months ago, I decided it was time to make the changes I have always wanted to make for my body and health. I had set out to find an encouraging work out program that has a lot of energy and didnt involve monotonous routines and I didnt want to pay a ton of money for it either. I found ILKB on Groupon actually, which was a perfect way to start out for me, having just moved to the area and not knowing anyone. After my first class, I signed up for a full membership. I feel in love with the workout and the burn I got from it! Loud, fun music is played and other than the good sweat you have going, it seriously feels more like a reward at the end of my day rather than a work out. The people there have similar goals as me, but no two people are the same either- all ages and body types coming together to do real work and have fun with it! The staff is knowledgeable, and is encouraging both in members achieving goals overall, but also have good focus and advice on things such as technique. They truly care and have put themselves out there to help those who want it. I have recommended it to many already, and have had 3 friends buy the Groupon, and so far, everyone has loved it as well! I know that I can achieve my goals here, better myself and have fun while doing it at ILKB.

Seen advertisement on Billboard, brought myself and my husband five classes for Valentines Day gift. Was SO excited, they call me to set up appointment. The gym was not able to schedule the class for us both til March 1, its now February 15. Ok, still excited, I rushed and ran a few lights to get there on time 6:00. The person behind the counter shows us where to take our shoes off, suddenly the women I made the appointment with comes out and tells me she THOUGHT I cancelled my appointment. She never try to apologize or to accommodate us to show us around the facility, for Her mistake. The words out her mouth was Ill call the company and refund your money. Not once did I ask for my money back. When she offered I took my money back walked out of that facility and will never return again. For me to write this negative comment is really big I dont write comments Im not on Facebook Im not on Twitter, but when I receive poor service, I let it be known. Two Thumbs Down!!!!!!!! Bad business

For someone like me, who is really out-of-shape, “kickboxing” sounded very intimidating. Before my first class, I imagined it was designed for VERY fit people, who would come to kickboxing to supplement his/her already in-place, rigorous fitness regime. Frankly, I didn’t think I “could hang”, but I decided to give it a try anyway. I was ok. I did (and still do) what I could and I still cannot do a lot of things – like a full crunch . But, if I cared about what I couldn’t do when I first started, I definitely do not care now. I wish I could say it’s because I am so focused on my new results and what I can do now. The truth is, is that the class is so much fun…i.e., the music, instructors and friends I’ve met there who make me laugh, that I would much rather go to kickboxing, than “go out”. I do have fitness goals. And this class is making me reach these small goals without having to think about it. I’m just moving forward and most importantly, I’m becoming happy. 

I bought the Groupon for 10 classes, and after my first class, I was immediately hooked! Very fun atmosphere, great music. Instructor really makes it fun and entertaining. It is a very intense hour of work, but time goes so fast that it doesnt seem like an hour at all. This is not just an exercise program for people to do 4-5x per week. It is also a great addition to any current exercise program. I have an intense workout program 4 days per week outside of this place, but I do kickboxing one time per week. It provides great variety and fun! So whether you are looking for a place 1x/week or 5x/week, this is it! I have to mention that I completely disagree with one of the other reviews that said the people are very unfriendly. I have found the opposite. Everyone is willing to help when you need it. I have not found "cliques", and even if there were, who cares! They are very friendly!! Check this place out...you wont be disappointed. Great stress relief too!

I came across a Groupon offer to try iLoveKickboxing this past June, and the rest is history! Because Ive studied martial arts in the past, Im very particular about selecting a dojo; so I made arrangements to observe the ILKB facility and to watch a class before investing the little amount I needed to get started. The only thing I have ever regretted about joining ILKB, is that I wasnt prepared to START that very first night! I was hooked, but unable to jump in on the class because I didnt have any workout clothing with me. Needless to say, I not only took advantage of the Groupon, but I signed up as a member right away. My physical, mental and spiritual health has improved dramatically. In every possible way - ILKB has exceeded my expectations - especially the amazing camaraderie between members. Everyone is so supportive and the staff - well, they are nothing short of exceptional.

Joining ILoveKickBoxing has been one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. It has become a second family. Their customer service is leaps and bounce above any other gym or facility I have even been a part of. The staff is engaging, motivating, and supportive. They address you by name and take the time to get to know you and your goals. They are there to help you perform at your top potential. They keep it fun and empowering while giving you a killer workout. If you are big on social media, they are always posting motivating quotes or suggestions for things to try or as reminder to just keep going. Things are happening. I couldnt be happier with my decision to join. Looking forward to seeing lasting results. Take the leap and join the family. You wont regret it.
