Jessica runs a great program, she has the right mix of enthusiasm and discipline to make it a worthwhile investment. Did the 6 week challenge, and finished at losing just over 25 pounds. Karen is the mentor to have on your side throughout it all! Was a great way to get me back into a routine of fitness and nutrition! If you do do the challenge, note there is a $500 deposit they don't tell you in the advertisement. If you do not hit your goal, the money is theirs to keep. It adds to the motivation to hit your goal :). read more

I attended iLoveKickboxing for almost a year. The classes were fun but as instructors turned over instruction became less and less, with exception of the remaining original instructors. My two biggest issues were the schedule, I was only able to make once maybe twice a week because most of the classes are after 9am or in the evenings. I attended the 8:15 classes, but those were only offered on Monday and Friday in gig harbor. I saw that Tacoma location had several 6:15 classes but every time I asked I was told those wouldn't happen in gig harbor. Right after I stopped going I saw they canceled the 8:15 classes also, so I'm glad I'd already made the switch. My second issue was constantly pushing reviews and bringing in new members. Imo recruitment is this job, not mine. And the best reviews are written by folks who truly loved (or hated) an experience, not by being bribed to do so. It felt like their main purpose wasn't as much helping their students but trying to keep their business going. Again, imo the opposite method works better for long term business success. read more

I was a 6 week challenger, with the goal of losing 25 pounds and I did it!! If you are highly motivated and ready to make your goals happen this is definitely a great way to do it! The classes are high intensity and the meal plan provided really works. I feel so much stronger and healthier, I made my goal and am so proud! The instructors are encouraging and helpful with techniques throughout the classes. The reasons I did not give 5 stars are these: - The class times are difficult for anyone that works shift work. I could only go to classes on my days off - which made it hard to complete the requirement of at least 3 classes/week. I often did 2 classes a day to make up for it. - Drop ins are not made welcome. I was really enjoying the classes and wanted to bring a guest with me. When I showed up to class with my guest I was told no and my guest just had to leave and come pick me up after class. However, after asking more questions and a second instructor it was explained that to bring someone new they have to go to a 'first timers class' that is only at certain times on certain days so that the whole process can be explained to them for safety reasons before they do their first class. So it's possible to bring a friend to class, just not at all easy. read more

It's a fun class and can be a good workout - however, they do nothing to correct form (and very little to teach correct form to new clients) and as a result, I have had a shoulder injury less than 2 months into my membership keeping me from classes for 4 months for which I have spent nearly $1500 at physical therapy. They pressure new students to sign up for a yearly membership that cannot be cancelled unless you have a permanent injury. When I signed up, I had asked the employee/instructor if I could cancel at anytime to which she said yes - completely unethical. It's my guess that they get commission based on how many people they have signed up. The bags themselves should be replaced as there are probably only 10 decent ones. read more

Update: I was refunded for the remaining amount of my membership. I wish the whole process hadn't been so much aid a hassle, but I appreciate the refund nevertheless. My review is primarily about the billing/membership center. It is next to impossible to cancel your membership. I have been laying $125 for over 6 months for my membership and recently was repacked for work across the state, I still live in the Gig Harbor area but have to travel Mon-Friday over 100 miles to work - I have no time obviously to make it to class. I called I Love Kickboxing before my payment due date to cancel so I wouldn't get charged and they let me know I needed to call member services. I contacted them and they said someone would contact me....well my payment due date came and went so I had to pay! Someone finally contacted me after my payment went through and said I had to fill out a relocation form and submit documents proving I'd moved. I haven't actually loved so I didn't qualify in cancelling my membership. I think this is a disgusting way to run a business. A business should take into consideration its individual members and treat them fairly. My experience leads me to believe this company only cares about getting new members quickly and gaining that membership fee from them every month, and does not care about the individuals situation. As far as the classes go I wouldn't rate very high. In the beginning they had good instructors but they had some high turnover and I don't feel like a lot of the new instructors actually know what they are doing. One instructor is supposed to demonstrate while the other watched the class and helped....but honestly the one helping usually didn't do much. A lot of the instructors also didn't use correct form. The class also had a very "salesey" vibe. Every time during stretching they would push writing reviews, and bringing people on, and it felt like they were more about getting more people and not helping the current ones. All together very disappointed and would not recommend. read more

Great place and staff. Supportive atmosphere. I would recommend it to friends! A lot of choices for classes and they are continually adding more to meet needs. Workout and martial arts classes for both adults and kids. read more

I love love love ilkb. It's the most fun you'll have but it's also the most intense workout I've ever had. Be prepared to do lots of burpies but in a good way with lots of fun and cheering on. The instructors are super helpful in making it Newbie friendly so you don't feel overwhelmed. Give it a shot, go twice and you'll be hooked. read more

The coaches here are amazingly supportive and the classes are so much fun and easy to fit into a busy schedule. I recently finished a 6 week challenge with them and I'm so glad I did! Working out doesn't feel like working out when you're having fun, and that's what you get here at I love kickboxing in Gig Harbor. read more

This place is addictive! I love coming here. I get a fabulous workout and feel very proud of myself when I'm done. I'm already starting to loose weight and see changes in the way my body looks. The instructors are great at helping you with form and keeping your intensity up. The music helps too. My daughter (17 yr) and I do this together and it's great to have some time together doing something that is helping us feel good about ourselves and each other. read more

I love kickboxing.com is really a fun workout! It's way better than just hitting the gym, and lifting weights... And it's not nearly as boring as walking on a treadmill! I feel like the work out I got from one class was even better than anything I've gotten at the gym with a personal trainer! I highly recommend it, if you're looking to have a nice hard work out, and you want to see results soon! This gym is very clean, too, which is great! I even saw them cleaning out the personal belongings cubbies after our workout was done! Excellent! I happily signed up for a one year commitment, and I can't wait to bring in my friends and family so we can start kicking butt together! read more

Love it! As a runner, i was trying to find another form of cardio for my days off from running. This is perfect! It's a high intensity workout and all the instructors really know how tog etc you sweating. They are all really nice and make an effort to get to know you. They are genuine about trying to help you reach your fitness goals. read more

I love kickboxing-Gig Harbor is literally the best thing that has happened to me. I struggle with getting out of bed and doing anything due to depression. I found ILKB and instantly fell in love. The staff is super friendly, they care about your well being, and strive to make you have the best experience possible. Clean, organized, and tons of giveaways. A wonderful experience all around and I strive to get on the mat as much as I can. read more

I was terrified when I went for my first session at iLoveKickboxing in Gig Harbor. I worried that I wouldn't be as good as everyone else, that I would look stupid, and everyone would laugh at my inferiority. I couldn't have been more wrong. The instructors calmed my fears and made sure I felt confident every step of the way thru my first class. Other members greeted me and made me feel welcome. I didn't stand out or look stupid as I originally feared because the class was filled with people of all shapes, sizes, and capabilities. It only took one class and I was immediately hooked. I signed up for a membership that same day. To find one thing that is the best part of iLoveKickboxing would be impossible. I love that the instructors genuinely get to know you and push you at every class to try a little bit harder than the day before. And I love that every workout is different and challenging. I love that if you have a question, the instructors or more experienced members are always willing to jump in and help. But if I had to narrow it down to one thing, I would say my fellow members are my favorite part of iLoveKickboxing. Everyone is truly kind and genuinely interested in supporting you and your personal goals. I've only been a member for 3 months and I've already lost 16 pounds. I feel stronger. I have more confidence in myself. And for the first time in my life, I KNOW I'll reach my goal to be down 30 pounds. And it's all thanks to iLoveKickboxing. I love you guys! read more

Amazing way to kickstart an exercise program and healthy eating. After a year of nursing school, I needed something to get me back on track and get rid of that 25lbs I gained. The 6-week challenge did exactly that. 30.4lbs later, the "want" to keep exercising and eating on a meal plan has set in. It was also mentally clearing. One of the most important things is that the community of kickboxers are amazing. They keep you going, and when you want to give up, they cheer you on. The challenge is steep at 6% body fat or 25lbs, but if your determined and motivated it is totally doable and worth it. read more

6 weeks ago, I decided it was time for a lifestyle change. I had been steadily putting on weight, dwelling in the stresses on life and transition out of the military, hiding behind the camera because I was embarrassed. I decided to take a chance on ILoveKickboxing after I consulted with their trainers and realized this was exactly what I needed to feel physically, mentally, and emotionally better than I had been. I signed up for their free 6-week challenge and I couldn't be happier with my results, the program, the facility, and the staff. I received an easy step-by-step meal plan and directions on how to make meal prepping easy. The meal plan is designed to help you SHED FAT FASTER alongside your workouts, without feeling hungry! I never starved and was always satisfied. The friendly and supportive staff provided positive motivation and guidance, in and out of the gym. The instructors are thorough and precise in guiding you through the workouts. No experience necessary! The facility was always CLEAN. They steamed and disinfected often and I always appreciated that, especially during this time. Over the course of 6 weeks I GAINED: mentors, friends, confidence, physical endurance, and skills to lead a healthy and fit lifestyle. Over the course of 6 weeks I LOST: 6.2% BODY FAT, cravings for sweet and fatty foods, and most importantly, my excuses not to better myself. Thank you for helping me make these changes! I'll be back for more soon read more

This place is amazing! The classes are fun and the people and staff make you feel like you belong. The gym always looks clean along with the bathroom. I've only just started and I'm already seeing results. You don't have to worry about not knowing how to do something because it seems as soon as I start to struggle or my technique is a little off, an instructor appears and walks you through. I'm so happy to have joined. It's an amazing community of friendly, helpful, motivational people. read more

Super fun high energy workout. The trainers are very helpful and don't push you to over do your own level. Love the careful instruction of doing the moves properly. It is tough but hey isn't that what we need to achieve our goals? Only reason for the 4 star and not 5 is the time share type push to sign up for membership. Otherwise really great! read more

Thank you to Ilovekickboxing. Along with losing 11% body fat in 6 weeks. I feel much more confident in myself. It was much needed to breakup my day to day life and focus on myself. A big shoutout to Powerhouse Melanie along with other instructors who pushed me and believed in me and helped me to believe in myself. I appreciate you and thank you. Anyone who is looking to have fun and workout I highly recommend ilovekickboxing. read more

I love everything about this place!! Almost 2 years in and still enjoy walking through that door! I've meet wonderful people and made lifelong friends. I highly recommend you give it a try!! You will love it!! read more

Fun staff...but beware of the contract. If you sign, you are basically stuck regardless of what the staff say or elude to before you sign. There are different options. Don't get me wrong...it is fun/great...was just too much impact for me...and now I am screwed because the billing company thinks a person that can't do high impact has to be permanently disabled before they will let you go. Update: The general manager contacted me and we came to a good compromise. I appreciate that businesses have to protect themselves, but it is always good to rely on customer service to get things done. I may not LOVE kickboxing, but I can continue on a path of better health more quickly because of the new solution. Tip: know what is right for you before you sign a contract, asking questions is very very good :) Thank you ILKB read more

A friend of mine who has been going to ILKB for a few months, recommended I try it. I simply wish I had come sooner. I've been wanting to get in better shape for quite some time and have tried traditional gyms, jui-jitsu, insanity workouts and a few other things. None of the above have kept me motivated the way that ILKB does. I like the instructor/class setting and the fact that you're learning something physically and mentally at the same time. The fact that there is technique to learn helps to keep my mind occupied, instead of thinking, or really focusing, on how strenuous it can be at times. That's another key point, ultimately you have some choice in how hard your workout is. Feel tired? Punch slightly lighter. And of course the opposite is true. The results are up to you, as with other workouts. I find myself getting a better workout than ever before because of the motivation I mentioned above. I really feel the need to say that the staff is incredible. This is a big piece of the puzzle for me. They all seem to love their job. Some have told me the stories of how it changed their lives, and several have spent extra time after class with me to help me learn the proper technique. I could really go on and on about the staff, but I simply recommend you come experience this for yourself. There is an obvious positive energy in the place. It's often the best hour of my day. Thank you ILKB. read more

I bought a Groupon for myself and my daughter. Great deal! We had a terrific workout. The staff and was friendly and very helpful, as neither of us had ever done kickboxing before. If it was more realistically priced I would absolutely sign up for a membership. Unfortunately I just cannot reconcile the cost for the service. They have free standing bags, no free weights, no cardio equipment or lockers. For a place that Spartan, it should be reflected in the cost of membership. I can get a membership at the YMCA for my family of three for the same cost a single membership at ilovekickboxing, and there are a lot more amenities that come with a Y membership. I could even get a membership for my family at the local gym for half the cost of a single membership. I loved what I saw and experienced, but they're just not competitively priced. read more

IIKB is an amazing workout. I always feel very awkward going to the gym. However, IIKB makes me feel at home and comfortable. The instructors work with you. The instructors are so knowledgeable and helpful. I want to attend every class. The facility is super clean and nice. The people I have met there are really awesome. It is a group dynamic that motivates you and cheers you on. Everyone encourages each other. I cannot wait to attend the class each day. It is by far my favorite place to go to for a great work out. I am currently on a weightloss journey and I have lost 24 pounds, and IIKB has helped me in this weightloss process and motivated me to stay on track. Thank you IIKB. read more

Since starting at ILKB I've lost twenty pounds in four months, gained muscle and confidence. I try to get in as often as possible. When my schedule doesn't allow for it I am thinking of how I am going to get in class next. I suggest you just do it! Get it done! and walk away knowing you just kicked some calories of you bod! read more

We had signed up through Groupon to try the classes originally. We were super impressed right off the bat. They were patient and kind about the varied stages of learning in my group. Extremely fun and yet we are burning calories, learning moves and staying active! This place rocks!! read more

For years I wanted to try Kick Boxing. About a month ago I decided to just go for it-thx Groupon! The very first class I was hooked! The instructors are AMAZING!! Both the staff and the members are so welcoming, so supportive and so encouraging. My body is changing-I'm stronger, and my endurance has increased tremendously. IloveKickboxing helps me to relieve stress and get fit at the same time. I'm super happy I made the decision to go and I highly recommend it! read more

I have totally fallen in love with kick boxing. I was a little intimidated at first because I had never taken a class like this, but once I walked through those doors I was totally relieved at how friendly and helpful all of the staff was. I was hooked after taking my first class. I can't get enough of it. I hate cardio and taking these classes has definitely improved my cardio and added variety to my workout routine. read more

I just celebrated completing my 2nd year of kickboxing and I'm still loving it just as much as I did before! The instructors and members are great! They keep you pumped and are there to make you feel welcome. I just turned 31 and have never been so dedicated to a workout program as I am with ilovekickboxing.com. Come sweat it out and feel great! read more

I have been going here for 3 weeks now, varying between 2 and three times. I can already tell a difference in the amount of energy I have. The instructors always have a new workout and I love learning new moves! Recently the superman punch is my favorite as well as a high round house kick. I have never been flexible before and coming to class, I can now touch my toes! I feel healthy, supported and even more I am having fun while getting such a good cardio workout in. My girlfriend and I both signed up and its definitely fun to have something outside the normal routine to look forward to. I highly recommend this if you are a beginner looking to get into working out, or a seasoned vet trying to change up your routine! You wont be disappointed. read more

I Love Kickboxing is the funnest and most energetic,upbeat workout I have ever done. I never thought I would find a workout that I love but I LOVE this one and I look forward to going to class! The instructors are AWESOME and motivate you and push you in a good way! read more

I have tried many different types of group fitness classes and I love Kickboxing is by far the best and most motivating class. Its high energy, works all sorts of different muscle groups, has motivating instructors, and I leave feeling like I got a good workout in. They always offer different types of out of class at home challenges as well as in class challenges. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting to stay in shape or get in shape! read more

HIGHLY suggest ILKB!! I have never been one to stay consistent with workouts, and hated going to the gym.. but when I started with ILKB, I instantly fell in love. The enviroment is contagious. From the loud music, to the high beat instructors, I actually look forward to working out!! read more

I have never had a workout that is as exhilarating, complete and varied as I have at I Love Kickboxing!! They always change it up so you never get tired. And just when you think you've got them figured out, they throw some new matrix exercise at you and some kind of way they talk you into doing it!! I can't say enough about how awesome the instructors are. They are knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging. Also, the music is the best!! read more

Today was my first kickboxing class with ILoveKickBoxing and it was amazing. I was a little hesitant about going especially by myself, but the staff as well as the other people there were great and welcoming. I left feeling energized and refreshed, I would highly recommend going. read more

I can honestly say I am so happy to have finally found a workout method that gives me everything I've been searching for: stress relief, toning all over, weight-loss, and a fun & friendly environment. The staff is very motivating, inspiring, and helpful. I also see them making efforts to keep a very clean facility. I always look forward to going back and doing better than my last time. I am constantly recommending ILKB to others because I know they'll love it too! read more

Im proud to be part of the ILKB Family. This community helped me motivate, proactive and full of energy. Everyone is friendly and competitive at the same time. Im looking forward to kick butt, make friends and have fun throughout this day :) read more

After doing this for a year, I can easily say that this is one of the best--if not THE best--workouts that addresses every part of fitness you would want to optimize. Not only does it work on your cardiovascular system, but it works on your strength, flexibility, and endurance. And let's not forget mental and emotional health. (What better way to release some stress than punching or kicking a bag?) These are tough, high intensity workouts that kicks a$$ each time I go. And I get such a wonderful feeling of accomplishment each time I leave. The instructors are always there to make sure you are doing the proper form, so you could maximize results and perform the moves without hurting yourself. They are great coaches with a lot of energy, continually supporting you, giving you the motivation to keep going. As a very busy physician, I don't have time to be going to different gyms or studios to get done what I can here. If anyone were to ask me if I would recommend Ilovekickboxing, I would wholeheartedly respond with a resounding "Yes!" read more

I love it! Its upbeat, different, and not boring like the gym!! I'm sore the next day....but its actually fun!! The instructors change routines daily, so its always exciting! read more

Adult and child programs are available but location much more focused on adults. Expect child programs to get canceled and also prepare to pay a fixed monthly fee but classes will be closed to kids for 4 weeks every year and no adjustment to your monthly rate! (therefore you pay them one extra month every year and don't get access to classes!) Program much more focused on new client (new revenue generation) not on student retention. read more

I Love Kickboxing in Gig Harbor is AWESOME! It's a fun workout and the instructors are super helpful, especially when you start out. I've never had a more motivating experience! read more
