If you're looking for a great workout, excellent instructors, and an amazing support group, this is the place to be!!! I started kickboxing when the studio opened and I love going to each session. The instructors are fun and really make an effort to get to know you! Each class is different and consists of a warmup, bag rounds, and cool down. Not only does the studio give great classes, but they host parties and bonding events outside of class, post nutrition tips on Facebook, and more! read more

I just finished the 6 Week Challenge and it was a lot of fun. I have always wanted to try out kickboxing and when I saw this challenge on Facebook, I said why not. I choose to lose 6% of body fat. I followed the meal plan rigorously and it was not difficult at all. I was eating more than I would usually and I did not feel restrictive. The hard part was the workout, this first week killed me, but I kept going and I left the class sweaty and stronger each time. I had incredible more energy during the classes but also throughout the day as well. Having more energy and getting stronger, I could push myself harder during the workout. The classes were becoming more fun. At my 3 week weight in I only lost 2.1% of body fat and gained 0.8% of muscles. However, I was not discouraged and continued to work hard. At the end of the 6 weeks, I lost 7.5% of body fat and I gained 3.3% of muscles! Unbelievable. I will have my money back which is so great. I am thinking now to take a membership of kickboxing at ILKB in Poway. My classes were mainly taught by Rachel and Summer, and they are so great, they kept the energy high, are very informative, and are motivating. On top of that, they are so funny which made the class more enjoyable, and I loved their music playlist. It was a great experience; I highly recommend this challenge. read more

ilovekickboxing.com in Poway, CA. This was my New Years Resolution for 2017. My cousin and I both wanted to try two different experience so we purchase trails. Our first class was so great that the next morning we wanted to go back. I have a bad knee and other health issues so it was great when they provided modification on exercises so I can still be part of the class and have a complete workout. This staff are great. I've worked out with everyone here. I came in not having been to a gym in 10 years. They made it comfortable and challenging at the same time. I could not be happier. I have every faith that I will no longer have to make resolutions but a routines now. On a personal note, my goal is to lost 75 pounds in one year and I am thinking it will be more by the year is up. read more

Gonna be honest.... I always wanted to try kickboxing but felt that I wasn't in shape to try something like this. I finally just went for it and let me tell you it was ahh-mazing!!! The instructors are so welcoming and made me feel at ease my first day. Jonas even threw me in the deep end on my second day lol I was a bit shy at first but it felt great to take that challenge. Can't wait to see my transformation both physically and mentally. ALL you guys are Amazing! Loved Vanessa's Taco Tuesday Music read more

I signed up for the trial classes and free gloves and was hooked after my first class! Great workout and friendly staff. Low frills and not pretentious at all. I look forward to my workouts and find it to be a huge stress reliever. read more

Phenomenal Staff and great location! The staff actually makes the location because they are so personable and they have a way of drawing you in and challenge you in a healthy way to DIG DEEPER! They definitely don't just want your funds, THEY WANT YOU TO BENEFIT from the experience of you investing in yourself via your time and energy! You may walk in going 'OH MY GOODNESS WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF IN TO' to walking out going 'HECK YEAH, I AM SO BAD THAT I AM GOOD! I AM ON FIRE!' ;-) Great family feel and you know that you aren't in it alone! read more

The staff is very friendly and helps you to ensure you are using proper technique, and always having a great time! Highly recommend iLoveKickboxing!! You are never too old!! read more

I have been working hard to lose weight since the beginning of the year because I could not believe how much I had put my health and wellness on the back burner over the last decade. I did okay on my own, but one day while driving home I saw a bunch of crazy people beating up bags on the balcony of ILKB and said to myself "you know what? That might be my kind of crazy." I started with the online special and felt so good and accomplished after those classes that I pulled the trigger and joined in March. Following Covid guidelines was weird but it felt so good to push myself and challenge myself in classes! I began to notice my spirit was changing along with my body as I looked forward to classes and sweating and being strong and fierce for that hour in the mornings. I had to take two months off in the summer for a job out of town, and when I got back I needed a reset, so I started the 6 Week Challenge. I won't lie, the first 2 weeks were hard, as I was used to eating out or frozen meals most days. Coach Lisa told me meal prep was key and that is so true! At my 3 week check in I realized I wasn't having the same cravings I used to, I didn't yearn for snacks or sweets, and I was able to pass up junk because I knew I had good meals coming. I had lost weight but I hadn't lost any body fat. My schedule is weird so I was skipping some food, which Lisa coached me was probably affecting my body fat percentage because I wasn't giving my body the nutrients it needed after working so hard. I followed the plan exactly and lost 3% body fat in 3 weeks! Imagine if I had done that from the beginning! I didn't quite hit my goal of 25lbs lost (I lost 20), but I sure am proud of the way I feel. I'm so glad I found this place and these people and I hope more people join so there are more classes to love!! read more

After driving by the Poway location for months, I finally went in to try out a few classes. I met with Elieha before my first class. She was very professional, informative and addressed all my concerns. Aside from walking, this is the first time I've done an intense workout. Elieha said I could do the workout at my own pace and do modifications on the exercises.....burpees are my nemesis. She was/is very encouraging and said it's ok, do the best I can and eventually I'll be able to do them. The class is definitely intense, especially the first 15 minutes. Lisa, the instructor, went around the class, gave a lot of positive encouragement and helped with the moves. I thought I was going to pass out, but I felt great after class and proud that I kept moving, even if I couldn't do the damn burpees...lol! I have been going every day since I started and I'm so happy I signed up. Everyone that works there is hands on and you never feel like you're bothering them when questions are asked about the workout. As a beginner, they take the time to show proper form, as to not get injured. Overall, it's a great place. Not only do the instructors take the time to help, the members help as well, showing the newbies how to do the combinations during the boxing part. I highly recommend this great place! I've finally found a gym that I enjoy coming to! read more

I have never been one to exercise on a consistent basis, but iLoveKickboxing Poway has changed that! Every class is a challenge, but it's worth it! The instructors are patient and kind. They truly want you to reach your goals and have fun! I used to think of exercising as a chore. Now I look forward to every class and miss it on the days I don't go! Since joining iLKB Poway, I have more energy, I'm more motivated, and I feel stronger! read more

I feel this is the best decision I could have made!! I am so happy I joined. Its total body work out. You definitely will sweat and burn tons of calories! The workouts also get harder as you on and are switched up so you not doing the same thing over and over. This is a perfect way to get in shape.The instructors make class fun and exciting. There is never a dull moment. I look forward to going to class to see my second family! read more

Bought the 5 class trial package on a whim, 15 minutes into my first class and I knew I was hooked. Every class has multiple instructors to help teach and encourage (and your fellow kick boxers will also encourage and inspire you.) I've been taking classes 3-5 times a week and every class is a new adventure. I learn something new each class. The workout is completely different each day so your body will always be challenged- no matter your fitness level. The best part? Punching things is really fun! read more

What a great workout! You start with a 15 minute warm-up that is loaded with core exercises that push you to the limit of whatever fitness level you are capable of withstanding. There is also stretching worked into the warmup which gets you ready for the five bag rounds where you get to take out your aggression with a 3 minute rounds that work in jabs, crosses, hooks and various kicks. The instructors are super helpful and spend time demonstrating each exercise and sequence of moves along with working individually with the members perfecting their technique. You finish with partner drills which helps introduce you to your fellow members. We exercise at our own pace and a large heart rate monitor display is available which allows you to track your real time heart rate along with calorie burn during the workout. Some members burn over 1000 calories during the hour workout which is incredible. Great workout, super helpful instructors, friendly community of members, come join us! read more

This is my first week in class and I absolutely love it. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I hate working out, being at this place makes working out fun and punching and kicking the bags is a great way to release some stress. I definitely recommend checking out this place if you're looking to add some fun into your workout routine. read more

Visited with my neighbor... it seems like a fun class but overall the times are very limited (difficult for those of us with little ones at home). So I called to find out about a schedule it seemed as if they were catering to the Instructors schedule to much. Hardly any mid-day/ afternoon classes. Most classes start at 5pm with a couple 12pm classes during the week. What happened to 1, 2, 3 and 4pm classes?I think we will just stick with our gym way more class times at least. read more

Amazing workout with unrealistic prices. The staff was for the most part wonderful however the cost is unreasonable. Unfortunately I will not return due to their prices. If they offered a plan to purchase multiple single spots instead of monthly unlimited it would be worth the money. Also, be cautious about buying their plan through their website 5 workouts for$30, Groupon has deal for $50 for 10 sessions. read more

I have been a type 1 diabetic since 1989 (yes, I'm old)! I have always been insulin dependent on two types of insulin. I started ilovekickboxing on opening day back in February. I attend class 3-5 times a week on average and I LOVE it! Everyone is so uplifting and motivating, I look forward to being challenged. I feel myself getting stronger and have lost inches. On May 1st, I started the 21 Day Nutrition Challenge with one of our instructors, Vanessa, and some other members. I decided to go mostly paleo on this challenge and I have almost completely eliminated carbs all together. I have not needed to take ANY of my short acting insulin since then and my long-term insulin dosage is getting lower and lower! I am in awe and disbelief as I watch my blood sugar levels stay constant and "normal." I have never experienced such success with this disease nor felt more in control of it. I owe this almost entirely to my ilovekickboxing family. The moral support, motivation, and fun atmosphere are things I wouldn't change for anything in the world!! THANK YOU!! read more

The people who run this place are THE BEST!! SOOOOO friendly and SOOOO welcoming!! My husband and I come here now and we love all the theme nights they have making it that much more exciting, and the comfort of being able to go at your own pace but still be motivated to push harder. I definitely work harder here than I would anywhere else and love doing so because this is my happy place now! read more

I love this place! Everyone is so helpful and friendly. The members and staff are extremely helpful with anything from correcting form to food. I have made friends with other members. It's great seeing them in class and encouraging each other. I was looking for a place to get back into shape but I have found so much more than exercise. I have found myself looking forward to going back. read more

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!! Ive been a pretty active person my whole life and I have never looked forward to a workout this much. The vibe and the people are amazing and the instructors really do an awesome job making sure the workouts are fun, challenging, and accessible to everyone regardless of your fitness level. The best part is that the workout is different every day! So you're really getting a tough sweat in. I would recommend to absolutely everyone. read more

Ilovekickboxing! So true! I bought the 3 class trial deal and started the week they opened their doors, but I didn't need more than 1 to be hooked (no pun intended )! I've never been as consistent and as excited to work out before joining the ILKB family. The workouts are killer, especially that "warm-up", which is more like a full workout session itself, but all the instructors and coaches are really helpful, friendly, and fun! They have monthly challenges that help to motivate you and themed DJ nights. Such a fun environment! read more

I learned about ILoveKickBoxing from facebook and I contacted them immediately. I only wanted the 3 trial classes that they offer, but after the first session I got hooked and signed up right away. I just love and enjoy coming to class. The instructors are super nice and motivating. Fun and friendly environment. If you want a great workout then this is the place. read more

ilovekickboxing.com poway is an awesome kickboxing gym. Great, high energy, high intensity upbeat workout that will work up a sweat. Great instructors who are very friendly and give good instruction and tips. Lots of positive motivation! I've never worked out so hard and enjoyed it so much! read more

I am very new to kickboxing. I joined with a couple of my friends just to try it out and have some fun together. This is a hard workout but it is a fun environment and the staff is very helpful! I am so proud of the progress I have made so far and everyone we have met have been so supportive and kind! A great way to workout and improve your overall health! We have gone to nine classes in two weeks and it is so rewarding to feel yourself getting stronger and better at the sequences. The coaches are encouraging and never yell at you, which is so helpful. I am so excited to see where this journey takes me! read more

After paying for a gym membership for a year and realizing I just didn't enjoy being anywhere near a treadmill, I started looking for alternate activities. That's when I heard a kickboxing studio was opening down the street. I figured I would give it a try because who wouldn't want to go and hit something for an hour. So glad I decided to try. The first 15 minutes of "warm-up" can definitely test your limits but after a month of regular classes I can see a difference in what I am capable of doing during those first 15 minutes. The bag rounds are always fun and the instructors will roam the class and help correct your stance, punches, and kicks. They are not intimidating and will continue to work with you until you get it right. They will always explain the "do's" and "don'ts" so that you don't injure yourself (or anyone around you). Overall it's just a fun experience. read more

I joined ilovekickboxing in Poway in March 2017. I cannot get enough. I have started taking two classes each time I go. I absolutely love the way I feel, the energy I have is amazing. Everyone that works there is so friendly and encouraging. This is a whole new family in my life. And the other kickboxers are soo much fun. We have a great time. I would encourage anyone to try it. I am almost 50 and since I have started, I feel so much healthier and now am drinking more what than I care to admit and my eating habits have totally changed. Thank you ilovekickboxingpoway!!!!! read more

I love the staff at I love kick boxing.. everyone is very friendly and helpful. I've been going since they opened and have seen the inches just melt off !! Great work out ! read more

This is my first time doing kickboxing in my life and I am loving it !!!!! I have tried many kinds of workout from LA fitness to yoga but nothing that I would stick to it for long term, they were boring and I didn't even want to go. So I ended up doing workout (my little elliptical) at home. I have wanted to try boxing for long time but I was afraid that will be too hard for me. One day, I saw the ilovekickboxing deal online, $9.99 for 3 classes with free gloves!!! I was still hesitated for a while but well it was only 10 dollar, if I don't really like it, I will only lose $10 so I decided to give it a try. After the first class, I joined the membership and I really like the movements and workout. It seems intimating but it is really on your own pace, and you will do better each time (baby steps). Instructors are all very nice beside all those core workouts they make you to do lol. They walk around and guide you throughout the class. The workout will make you really sore but you will feel good and refreshing afterward. Give it a try and you will like it ;) read more
