First off, this is home for me now. I moved to Tacoma all the way from Chicago about 8 months ago knowing only my military boyfriend that brought us here for the move. I had always been active even throughout college as a varsity level athlete. I knew somebody from school who had joined, fell in love with it, and ended up working for ILKB because she loved being there so much! When I asked her about it, she had nothing but praise for it. While of course I took it with a grain of salt thinking it was like a used car salesman just trying to get more people there, I got one of the ever occurring web special so I had 5 classes for 8 dollars. I mean why not? Even if it sucked, it was only 8 dollars. I was missing having friends and turning into a total "Ill workout later" couch potato and for the first time in my life figured out what "Out of Shape" meant for me. I was ballsy and took the earliest 6 am class on a Monday. Again, if it sucked, at least I got it out of the way for the week. After the first 15 minutes of cardio boot camp basically, I was already set. Then came even more love during stretching which admittedly I hadnt done since I had physical therapy from back surgery less than a year prior. Then the fun part of beating up the bag began and I knew that it would work for me. I signed up for a year long membership right after class. The atmosphere is amazing, I didnt know anybody day 1 of class, and by the end of the first week people were already talking to me by name. If you want to have a place that you actually WANT to workout and make a positive difference in your life... just try it! There are people in better shape, worse shape, and right at your fitness level there...I promise. And even the ex-varsity athletes are getting their asses kicked during class.

I have been struggling to find a workout that is right for me. I struggled to keep on muscle, to lose fat, to remain consistent and have proper accountability. One day I was blessed...iLoveKickboxing came into my work to tell us about their programs and I was instantly intrigued. I looked over their website, videos, read reviews and eventually sucked it up and decided to try a class. After my first class, I was HOOKED. I had no previous experience and during my first class they worked with me individually to show me proper form. This team is amazing! I full heartedly believe in this business, the vision behind it which is to make a difference for people and their health, the crew holds a huge accountability and I love that they call me wishing me a happy anniversary and see how Im doing with the program. This environment is so different than being in a gym. This place makes me feel 100% comfortable and is very community/family oriented. I take unlimited classes which yes is the most expensive but they have a ton of plans available, will work with you, and Im happy here! I have met such amazing instructors and participants through this. Im kissing my gym good-bye and saying hello to that forming new flat belly! This place is exactly what Ive been looking for and I bet if you try one class, youll be hooked too! They also offer great health tips and offer a great range of events and activities to keep the ILKB family involved. This place is my safe-haven, a place to release tension, stay motivated and feel supported.

Ilovekickboxing is amazing! I went in on a friends recommendation and have been hooked since the first class. The first class consists of an instructor introducing the different types of punches and kicks. I really appreciate that they take the time to show, teach and correct so you understand what youre doing and decrease your chance of injury. The first fifteen minutes of class is the warm-up, then rounds of different combos and finally partner work. I appreciate the partner work because it gets us moving and working with others. This helps foster friendships and makes the atmosphere much more fun. I was impressed from the beginning because the facilities are clean, the mat does not smell and everything from the lockers, water station, bags are all in working order. All the instructors Ive met have been amazing. They are all energetic, enthusiastic and helpful. They walk around during class to help and provide motivation. If you need any additional assistance, they are approachable and willing to help. Ive been a member for a month and have noticed great improvements in my health, most of all in cardio. I love going to class and look forward to it everyday! Im very happy with my decision to join ILKB and would recommend it to everyone.

I signed up for my first 10 classes after finding a Groupon. On my bucket list, I had listed, “Take a kickboxing class” so this was the perfect opportunity for me. I told my friend and we signed up together. The first class was incredible, we had a personal trainer stay with us the entire class and taught us proper form and how to modify exercise if you’re dealing with injuries. I had a joint surgery and have arthritis from the military, so they were able to help me get a fulfilling workout, without hurting myself. I’d describe the class as similar to the Insanity/T-25 workout, mixed with kickboxing! We keep our heart rates up during the class, maximizing the workout. They play loud motivating music and everyone is so friendly! By the end of the class, I felt so invigorated, and couldn’t wait to come to class again. I go 2 times per week and I’m going to buy myself a kickboxing bag so I can do this at home too! The best workout I’ve ever been a part of! It is so fun! It’s a great way to decompress from college stress!

I absolutely love this place! Over the winter, I put on a few happy, holiday pounds and found myself lacking motivation to do cardio. At the urging of a friend, I attended one class and after that first try, I signed up. I am extremely glad that i did. By the time my body figures out that it is doing cardio, the class is over! It is challenging but I am able to modify movements that are too difficult. The instructors are more than competent in both fitness and martial arts technique! They are encouraging and positive which is so uplifting. Since, attending ILKB Tacoma, my cardio has improved tremendously as has my strength. And the people you meet there are wonderful. Everyone has a story and everyone is there to improve their health in one aspect or the other. Like-minded folks at all fitness levels makes for a wonderful energy!!! I am so happy with this environment, cannot WAIT to see what progress I make over the next few months, and would without hesitation, recommend ILKB to anyone and everyone.

ITS WORTH IT :) My first class was last night and honestly it was well worth it:) . I have anxiety,& social anxiety and to be honest i was extremely nervous at first . However the energy there is positive and the environment was full of smiles with enjoyment and some rather amazing encouragement. I needed this- it burned the negative energy i was hanging onto- and i look forward to going back :) . Very welcoming crew there and guide you without making you uncomfortable. I went here not only to get assistance with weight loss/getting healthy but also to unclog my mind and it worked :) i suffer from depression as well and this all around really made my night :) now my goal is to get these purple gloves and add yellow to them to assist in Suicide Awareness, because every day i aim to share that awareness- due to my son who committed suicide at the age of 18. so I am grateful for this amazing comfortable environment that allows fun , burning negative energy surrounded by greAT people :) THANKS AGAIN
