For kids, it really looks like they have a well organized program from Jiu jitzu to wrestling, though my children did not attend these programs directly. I would encourage anyone who has driven by this facility to stop in and meet Master George. It's a bit intimidating meeting a world champion in anything, but you'll see this compound has evolved around his passion for the arts and his genuine interest in peoples' safety and health. It's a great experience.

I was a black belt in karate with 12 plus years of experience until I met Jeff. I've been training…read morewith Jeff for over five years now, and I feel as if the five years of kickboxing training is more real world and effective than 12+ years of my karate journey. I would highly recommend training with Jeff, not just to get in shape, but to learn effective real world techniques that aren't taught at karate and tae kwon do Studios. Don't waste your time anywhere else, do it the right way with Chicago kickbox.

Jeff's the definition of an awesome trainer! He not only is very passionate about kickboxing,…read moreboxing, martial arts, etc. but he makes sure to take the time to EXPLAIN about the movements your body is doing during the exercises he puts you through, which not a lot of trainers take the time to do so. He broke down workouts step by step and made sure I did them correctly. He was always all about form vs. function! His sessions are always fun and I get a good workout in. The boxing portion of my workout is my absolute favorite! He's also very knowledgeable about supplements and has given me A TON of advice about weight loss (my own personal goal), what to take and what not to take, what works and what doesn't work, etc. He also knows what he's talking about when it comes to food and macro breakdowns. Overall, I would recommend Jeff to anyone who wants to actually meet their fitness goals as well as LEARN a thing or two about supplements and muscle activation.

The trainers are AMAZING! They get down on the floor and show me moves (I am a Visual learner who needs to be shown 3 times before grasping a concept) & are always available for feedback and motivation. This is a family owned business that deserves every 5 star review this town can offer. They offer a free workout before you sign up. They have Yedi nicknames for everyone which is super cute. Mine is Wonder Woman. They keep score on a board and encourage you as you progress. If I skip a few days, I know I'll get a text from Mo (owner) to stop in. It's a mix of cardio and kickboxing for all age groups. They help me modify the workouts if anything gets too complex for me. They are caring, clean, fun & it's only a 30 min workout three times a day. They have so many resources included with the membership. Not to mention the entire community has your back from Day 1!

The "kickboxing" they claim to teach is the farthest thing from kickboxing out there. They just shoved their brutally expensive monthly membership down my throat before I even finished my starter pack, actually before I even took my first actual class. Don't represent knowledge of kick boxing when your roundhouse kick cant even make it half way up the bag and your hook punch looks like you're giving 3 of your bros a hug. The only reason this review is one star is because I can't go lower.

Chicago Thai Boxing Academy is a true Chicago family owned and operated business, and that shows…read morefrom the moment you walk through the door. Everyone here is friendly, approachable, and welcoming. I honestly thought joining a Muay Thai gym would be intimidating, but it's been the exact opposite. The owners, coaches, staff, and members have created an environment where beginners and experienced athletes alike feel comfortable and supported. The academy emphasizes a respectful, inclusive community and welcomes people of all skill levels. One of my favorite features is the weight room, which is a great bonus alongside the training. The facility is well maintained, and I've heard they are constantly making improvements and upgrades to keep the academy growing. If you've ever been curious about Muay Thai but felt nervous about trying it, don't be. Take advantage of their free trial class and see for yourself. Chances are you'll get hooked just like I did. The combination of authentic training, great people, and a strong community makes this place something special.

All of the instructors bring unique teaching techniques to each class, keeping the classes engaging. Angie, the owner, is so high energy and brings so many positive vibes to each class - think Poppy from Trolls - I highly recommend taking her Monday morning class! The best part about Blue Sky is that everyone becomes a part of your extended family in such a short period of time. I love being a member here!! The only downfall is that there is only air conditioning in the yoga room, so I often found myself skipping kickboxing classes when the temperature crept towards the 80's and 90's, because I have no wish to faint during an exercise class. Other than that, you're truly missing out if you haven't scoped out this studio yet - AND THE FIRST CLASS IS FREE!!

This is the only studio in town that offers a free weekly community class. If that isn't enough to…read moreraise your curiosity, you haven't looked up the cost and schedules of other studios nearby. THIS IS THE ONLY STUDIO THAT OFFERS A FREE WEEKLY COMMUNITY CLASS. Blue Sky is worth checking out. It's a small studio storefront on Cook, near the shuttered Runners Edge store. You can park in the back or on the street. Your first class is always free. I tried a yoga class and then took advantage of the October special - $25 for a week of unlimited classes. I tried kickboxing, hot yoga, warm yoga, and I brought my husband and daughter in for a trial class as well. Bottled water and snacks are offered for a voluntary donation. Free small towels, use of mats & props, and free hot tea as you leave. Lexi Wynn yoga bags, yoga accessories and jewelry by local artists are also for sale. I've been in a rut at my gym so I checked out Blue Sky to see if mixing things up might get me motivated again. I tried & loved the kickboxing class because you are actually kicking and punching a bag. There is nothing as satisfying as finally getting to your workout and finding that your jab/uppercut has some oomph to it! Angie, the owner, teaches both kickboxing and yoga, and I've appreciated the sense of community she is trying to build both by being a resident of L'ville and business owner but also in taking the time to get to know her clients (by name) and connecting clients to the community. This month she was taking donations of gently used and new bras to donate to The Haven. Next month will be donations of non-perishable food items for the food banks (and free Friday Happy Hour yoga with a food donation!). She also offers some fusion classes, and family classes that would be great for parents with younger children. Prices are very competitive. And, a little secret. You can share a multi-class pass with family members! I actually had no intention of sharing my pass with my daughter and husband, but what a deal! My only fear? Blue Sky classes will get so full I will need to get to class early to save a spot! No worries. Just tell Angie that Kathy sent you. And save me a spot if you go!
