I'm a girl who tries many different types of workouts, including but not limited to, spin classes, light weight workout's, barre classes, twerk workout classes, reggae in heels work out classes, pole dancing classes, aqua spin classes, Pilates classes, yoga classes, chisel with weights, jogging the brooklyn bridge, biking the streets of NYC, boxing, and more. Initially I started taking kickboxing when my instructor at the gym went on vacation. I figured it would give me something different to do for a couple of weeks while he was on vacation and then I would stop the kickboxing classes and go back to my regular schedule. Since taking kickboxing at ILoveKickBoxing I have found it one of the most challenging yet most rewarding workouts I have done. I have tried several of the instructors and they all bring a different workout to me that is challenging and fun at the same time. Of course their are days I say I am going to go late and miss the warmup or I don't want to go because the instructor is going to make me run or do burpees, or do bear crawls, or make me workout harder and I do not feel like it today but after the workout those are the very exercises and energy I appreciate. I get a great cardio workout, I feel stronger then I have felt in years, my confidence has increased, my body has changed tremendously in an amazing way, I get to release a lot of stress on the bag, and when I walk the tough streets of NYC I feel like I look cool with my gloves hanging on my shoulder. I truly appreciate the workout I get at ILoveKickBoxing and would recommend it to anyone. Thank you ILoveKickBoxing for the good, positive energy from everyone at the gym and for helping me in so many ways. I truly appreciate and enjoy my workouts!!! read more

Bought the 10 class Groupon. Was reluctant to go to the class because I'm out of shape with no kickboxing experience. While the class was very intense and I was struggling to keep up, the instructor mainly wanted to see people push themselves. I pushed through and found the class welcoming and it was a no BS workout. I didn't sign up to be coddled by an instructor and if you want someone to push you, this is the place. Another review mentioned the quality of the facility. It's in a smallish space in downtown Brooklyn and the staff keeps the place clean. It's not some shiny gym with polished floors and mirrors, it's a place with real athletes teaching classes that are pretty affordable. It's hardly "seedy" as one reviewer mentioned. In fact, I'm more comfortable here than in some fancy, expensive gym where everyone still smells bad when they sweat. I was asked to bring a method of payment and they will try to get you to sign up for a membership. I was a little caught off guard by this only because I've never belonged to a gym. Still, that's what keeps the place running and they seem willing to have a reasonable discussion with you about what you can manage. Overall, this is no snooty yoga studio and that's exactly while I'll go back when I get the chance. read more

Had bought a Groupon for 10 kickboxing classes, but after the first class I was immediately hooked and signed up for a membership on the spot. Had never done any kind of workout like this before and not only is it the best exercise I've ever given my body, but it's a complete blast! Had been nervous going in with no experience, but everyone from the staff to the instructors made me feel very welcome and comfortable. They're all very personable and caring people. The instructors are amazing and not only on ensure you learn proper technique, but also encourage you to push past your limits, which is where you see personal growth happen. Because they're actual competitive kickboxers, you're being trained by real professionals. I feel like they actually care about my health and my progress, which has resulted in a significant improvement in my overall fitness. Since I've been coming to class regularly, I've even seen a serious improvement in the quality of my sleep! I'm always excited for class and always feel fantastic when it's done. The classes I've attended have never been crowded and you find a sense of camaraderie with the other students quickly. I can't say enough good things about this place. They just rock, period :) read more

I might just be in love with this place. The studio is conveniently located between the A C 3 and 4 trains. I appreciate the variety of instructors. they each have their own unique style and their attitudes are all positive and super supportive. I can tell with every class i take that not only do they love what they do but that they want everyone to succeed at it. Even more surprising are the attitudes of the people taking the class (complete strangers). Usually im weary of being partnered up during an exercise bc lets face it people can be jerks or show-offs. But I found that everyone was very kind from the beginners to the more advanced. I signed up on groupon for a 10 class card. With it you get a free pair of gloves and a bottle of water. After my 1st class i wished i had signed up for more than 10 classes. After my 2nd class i had to become a member and that was just last week. I have personally tried everything from spinning, yoga, and zumba, to hip hop abs and Insanity, and in all these scenarios i experienced a lull in motivation. I am completely confident that this is something that i am going to stick to and enjoy. They also give you a meal plan as well as links to online blogs to help support you in your goals. read more

As someone new to the hustle and everyday craziness of NYC, ILoveKickBoxing Boerum Hill has definitely been the place to relieve stress, regain energy, and gain confidence in myself. All of the instructors are very knowledgeable, encouraging, and provide a range of workouts applicable to all different fitness levels or workout interests. I've been coming to this particular ILoveKickBoxing gym for two months with all of the instructors and have never felt like I didn't improve form or technique during a class. I can honestly say I've never had the same workout twice and I am definitely getting stronger from each class, even if I feel sore the next morning. Our fellow kickboxers are competitive people who push and encourage everyone in the class in a positive manner. The instructors make it so that we rely on other kickboxers for exercises or drills, which is also an incentive to work hard rather than feeling like you are working out alone. I would strongly recommend trying a few classes with different instructors to get a feel for the energy and style of the classes, even if you're tired after the first day! read more

I signed up for their web special in a moment of impulse because I wanted to do something that the whole family could take part in and I have to say, sometimes it's good to give in to an impulse. The Boerum Hill location is a clean, well maintained facility with small but serviceable locker rooms. It's conveniently located in downtown Brooklyn and my kids love the martial arts class, even my son who is a self-described "indoors kid". They really get the students motivated and focused, even the disruptive ones which is no small feat. Kickboxing, which I and my husband signed up for, is totally kickass and really helps you work up a great sweat. It's held on a separate floor and the high energy of the class really pushes me to give my best effort. I always feel like I've achieved something at the end of a session. And the staff is very friendly and encouraging which is great for novices like us. If you're interested in martial arts training or just want to have fun while getting fit, I highly recommend Brooklyn Martial Arts. read more

I've been taking kickboxing classes here for about 8 months. I started with the Groupon and then signed up as a member with a 65-class pass. They also offer unlimited memberships, but the class pass is perfect for me since I work out here about three times a week. Very conveniently located around the corner from the A/C trains. The instructors are what kept me coming back - super friendly and very helpful, especially since I was a total beginner! A one-hour class involves a really intense warm-up, time on the bags, and partner work. I've definitely seen A LOT of change in my body as a result! The downside to the Groupon is that you need to book your classes ahead of time and spots fill up quickly. Luckily, you don't have to do that as a member! Class sizes vary from day to day. The gym is on the small side but I've never felt too crowded even with 15 other people in a class. I just wish they had classes before noon during the week! Some of the heavy bags could use replacing too. Overall, though, I love it here! read more

I have been attending I love kick boxing for a total of one month. I recently lost a great amount of weight and I started to plateau and was looking for a challenge. Kick boxing is definitely that challenge most importantly the trainers at I love kickboxing are attentive and emphasis the importance of quality in the moves and consistency. They make sure to pay you special attention if your new and or struggling. I've lost weight since I've started and also have more strength. I honestly enjoy being with this company. I am a forever member and the best part is they offer other methods of exercise so growth is a part of the journey there. I am proud to be a member and will definitely recommend I love kick boxing to any and everyone that is looking for quality, challenge and adventure. :-) The facility is also clean and conveniently near all public transportation on Livingston street in brooklyn ny read more

I've started taking kickboxing from Groupon, got hooked from the energy and sweat and the possibilities of becoming a better me, and signed up for more! With this class, you work on your core, balance, kickboxing technique, more core... oh yeah~ Don't worry if you haven't done it before. Just try it and keep at it for a month. You'll be amazed how many more crunches you can do, or how many more seconds you can be in the plank position, not to mention your body looking and feeling better and better...! Various gender, age, and body condition come to this class. The key is to personally work on it, while having fun :) Absolutely no judgement from fellow kickboxers. Instructors will keep you on your toes and push you with happy enthusiasm. Try them all because they have their own way of teaching. Great variety, all very effective. Just do it! You'll love it~~ read more

Yesterday my Cousin introduced me to my first I Love Kickboxing experience at Brooklyn Martial Arts and it was amazing intense. One hour total body workout. Everyone was very supportive and encouraging. It hurt so good. So today I went for my second workout and it was more intense. We had a new instructor which was perfect because I was able to experience a different workout. He was very accommodating to the fact that I was a newbie. He helped me understand the technique and the other more advance participants were very supportive and encouraging as well. He did not interrupt their flow by helping me. The warm up was intimidating but once to caught the flow I was ok. I loved the class. I strongly recommend? you to try them out. They have 2 specials online at www.ilovekickboxing.com that include a free pair of gloves. It doesn't get any better than that. read more

As many other people groupon has become my go to when looking for new places to try. I purchased this groupon not knowing what to expect and completed my third class yesterday. I walked in on a MMA class, once I got passed the initial shock to my nose and bypassed them, signed up and went to my class, my nose calmed down and I was fine.The workouts are an intense hour of movement, my instructor was energetic and easy on the eyes (yes that does make the class easier to get through). As a newbie to kickboxing I quickly realized that Taebo and other videos are no comparison to being on the mat with a heavy bag...sorry Billy B. This groupon purchase was a great investment for my body... no judgments, just calories burned and stress relieved. Officially can say ILOVEKICKBOXING!!! read more

I really do love Ilovekickboxingcom at Brooklyn Martial Arts! This type of workout is amazing, its very interactive and you gain fighting/defensive skills which is pretty awesome; the staff and instructors are wonderful, they're very helpful, passionate,motivational and more importantly FUN!! They teach you the proper techniques and movements all while losing weight, gaining muscle and fighting skills! I take the morning classes (1 hour) so they're not that crowded but they always accommodate accordingly to how many students are in class and make it work, they also are aware of your level of experience and work closely with you as much as they can. This place is great and I'm glad and proud to be a member!! There is no better work out for me! read more

Started kickboxing a few years ago and had to stop due to an injury at work. I got better and was ready to get back but COVID had other plans. Now getting used to this new normal, I had to get back into it. I found this location on Groupon and immediately booked a class. When I got there, everyone was so nice and welcoming. During the class, the instructors explains in detail what moves were working on at the beginning of each round. If it's your first day, they pay special attention to you so your able to do the moves correctly and not injure yourself. They are very motivating without making you feel like you have to exhaust yourself. I feel good at the end of every class, even on days that I'm tired. I highly recommend coming here! read more

The first half of class is body weight exercises, the second half is combos on the bags. Instructors make the effort to give everyone some individual attention to ensure that your form is correct. However, for some exercises (i.e. burpees), instructors will direct you to perform them in different ways. I think they need to get on the same page. Student's shouldn't have to remember who likes what which way and then get called out in front of the entire class if they guess wrong. I've had instructors who start class late and don't have the music situation figured out beforehand which makes for an unpleasant experience. I prefer the Astoria location. Instruction is consistent and they are always prepared for class. read more

I have a background in sports (volleyball and crew throughout high school), and the kickboxing classes that are offered are well structured and fun! The beginning of class is a series of full body exercises and the remainder of the class is focused on working on combinations. The instructors make sure to walk around and correct the form which was very useful to me, as I have not really done kickboxing before. The facilities are located conveniently close to many major train lines which is one of the reasons I decided to sign up here! As a college student now with very little free time, the class schedule offered gives me the ability to attend when I can. Overall, I am very happy with iLoveKickboxing :) read more

I heart Brooklyn Martial Arts Kickboxing mucho mucho! Like Etta James sang, "At Last...." I've found a workout that works for me. After going through memberships at high priced health clubs, yoga, zumba, and regular visits to the "Y," I found a place that challenges me to my limits with joy. I'm a curvy girl and realize I needed an intense kickboxing regime. I'm already seeing results, walking taller, sitting straighter, getting stronger, and booster rocketed my confidence. I highly recommend this place for getting in shape, building endurance, losing weight, and toning up. The instructors totally rock. They are serious professionals and practitioners. If you want results - you found the place. read more

ILKB Boreum Hill is the best. I love how easy it is to get to, it's right near many trains and bus lines, it takes me only 27 mins from Midwood to get there which is amazing. The staff is really chill and encouraging, which is very important to me. They don't play the all too common gym game of making you feel inadequate, on the contrary, they encourage you to love who you are and feel empowered and inspired to improve! Definitely not an assembly line of brainless workout but a beautiful space with kind, focused and hardworking professionals encouraging you to be the same and I believe a huge reason is the good vibes from the BJJ discipline practiced here. Absolutely glad to have found this place. read more

Kick Boxing Testimonial I never thought of using Groupon before, however it proved to be great. Brooklyn Martial Arts aka iLoveKickboxing is an outstanding way to transform yourself. I attend twice per week and have always been challenged to up my game. The instructors are top shelf and individual in their teaching styles. Whether it's cardio, strength, or flexibility, you will experience progressive improvement in your skill development. This is fantastic as I have celebrated my 60th birthday a few years ago! If you are wondering if you can do it, the best way to find out is to just try it first hand. I can absolutely recommend this school / training hall without reservation. W. Murray read more
