Super fun classes and the instructor (Summer) is such a motivating, high energy person, she explains everything and helps with modifying the moves so I don't get overwhelmed. This is why I keep coming back! read more

6 week challenge review... My journey started with ILKB on a social media ad. I thought, 'it's too good to be true'. Well, it's not! But as with most things, your results depend on what you give to the program. Not only did I give every single class 100%, I decided to take some of the supplements offered (Burn Am & Pm, Pre-Step & Intra) but they aren't required for the challenge. What is required is gloves, heart rate monitor and the protein shake. If you're on a budget like me, those are extra expenses, but i considered them worth it. I didn't stray from the diet but found flavorful ways to enjoy the food. And, honestly, the diet wasn't unrealistic or miserable. In fact, it got me back into the habit of cooking fresh meals instead of processed foods which I had got in the habit of eating. My goal for this challenge was to win it first of all, but use this as a catalyst for changing my lifestyle (or lack thereof). I fell into bad habits during Covid and have been working on pulling myself out of the hole. One more thing I'd like to mention is way before any weight came off I was experiencing mental, emotional and gut improvements. Thankfully I was losing body fat and gaining muscle, it just wasn't showing on the scale. It was frustrating but it didn't deter me and I held onto those other positive effects mentioned above as my proof when the scale didn't cooperate. And I should mention, I did beat the challenge! Thank you to coach Summer, Gaia and Rachel. You girls have been encouraging and fun to get to know! read more

It is amazing how you can shift your mind and your body in 6 weeks with a wonderful support system! Being over 40 years old and had gained so much weight after my late pregnancy I needed to do something for myself! I am so happy that I was introduced to ILoveKickboxing by my friend! I just finished the 6 week challange with them and it was a huge success! This is a great program that includes experienced coaches (they were always available to answer all of my questions); a meal plan that suits your current weight ; awesome products that help you lose weight (they have all the products ready to go at the studio) & intense workouts. Also, they offer the flexibility of online classes. In addition to that, I had to weigh in every week, which made me accountable to reach my goals. After six weeks I lost 28.2 pounds! This is just a beginning of a healthy journey! Thank you ILKB for all the support! read more

I recently just completed the 6 week challenge and it was such an amazing experience! About 6 weeks ago, while I was on social media, I saw the offer for 6 weeks of kickboxing for free, and I wanted to know more. I've always wanted to try kickboxing and this was a great opportunity. I was able to get these classes for free by accomplishing my goal in the 6 week challenge. It consisted of having a meal plan according to my body type and weight, as well attending 3 kickboxing classes per week. I posted my workouts and pictures of groceries for the week for accountability. My goal was to either lose 20 pounds or 6% body fat. 20 pounds for my size would have been too much, so I decided to lose the body fat. I didn't think it was possible to do this, but by staying true to the kickboxing program, and following the meal plans exactly, I achieved my goal! Not only did I get into better shape with this challenge, I also had great coaches and fellow kickboxers that give me tips of meal ideas as well as words of encouragement. I am in a better place in my life now because of Ilovekickboxing! I have a healthier mindset and lifestyle and I know a workout routine that works! I'm so glad I had this opportunity! read more

I absolutely LOVE ILoveKickboxing - Poway. I found them through their Facebook Ad for 3 classes. I said, "Why not?! It's worth a shot!!" After taking my first class, I felt I made a GOOD decision about this place. The entire staff is SOOOOO welcoming and friendly, you always feel a part of the "family"! They start you off with a tour of the facility, then talk to you about your goals. Once those are established, you get to learn how to wrap your wrists and hands and finally get to put on your gloves! That's when it became real to me, LOL! In your first class, your coach teaches you the basics and is there for you the entire time. I really liked that part, especially because I have never done it! It was definitely a nice intro to the class and you can guarantee you WILL be sweaty after it! I don't like going to the gym but coming here is a different story! It's a different workout each time and you are ALWAYS challenged. You can go at your own pace which is also very nice!! I get a GOOD workout in EVERY SINGLE TIME!! I would encourage ANYONE to try it out! Put in the work and SEE/FEEL the results! You will be glad you did, I sure am!! Hope to see you in class!! read more

I love the workout!!! Great people great atmosphere! I would definitely recommend joining this gym for an amazing Burst of energy and cardio! read more

ILKB is a great kickboxing gym with great instructors. Not only did I get to refine my kickboxing skills, I also learned valuable skills for improving my health. I was able to lose 26 pounds in the 6 weeks and get back to my pre-covid weight by following the program set by the instructors. Pushing yourself is a must, but the instructors at ILKB really make it a priority to ensure that the process is as simple as possible. I had prior kickboxing training before starting the challenge and I learned so much more. I recommend joining and doing the challenge. Not only will you learn kickboxing and self defense, but you will also improve your health at the same time. The program is especially great for beginners and amateurs looking to get into shape. If you are able to complete the challenge you will get your deposit back, which is an even bigger incentive to do it. read more

No matter your shape or age this daily workout is amazing. You gotta start somewhere and this is definitely an amazing, encouraging and fun place to do so. 10/10 I'd recommend it. read more

Kickboxing has changed my life for the better! I started off a little apprehensive about my health and fitness goals, but all of the coaches are very knowledgeable, supportive, and encourage members to push themself to the limit every class! It'll set the tone for the day or help de-stress after a long day of work. Whatever the reason, kickboxing helps you get out of your comfort zone and has many positive benefits!

iLoveKickboxing- Poway - I love ILKB! This is the best workout for me. Cardio at the gym just can't compare. The studio is clean and the instructors are all great. - Gyms Near Me - Poway, California

Great place to get in a fierce workout, learn about health/nutrition and get motivated! Super fun and an amazing group of people!

This is the ONLY workout program I've ever stuck with in my 55 years. I've signed up at other gyms but lost motivation to go after a few months. Zero value there. With ILKB , it's just fun. And because I WANT to go regularly and I actually DO, I'm getting my money's worth= VALUE. Can't say enough about the folks in my class who are such nice , down-to-earth people-- and the trainers who are high-energy and never fail to kick my booty- trust me, that's a good thing at this age read more

This gym is my safe space. I know when I show up I will get a great workout in from any one of their amazing trainers. The women who go to this gym are so supportive and motivating. I can't imagine my life without kickboxing read more

I just have to say amazing. Everything about this iLoveKickboxing experience has been amazing. The instructors are great the workouts incredible and the instructions on the diet well that's all up to the individual to be disciplined but I found it to be extremely helpful. At 50 years old to have the best, most toned body I've had in my life! And I'm not finished yet. I am going to keep coming back. I'm so grateful to have found this 6 week challenge on Facebook. I feel so strong and empowered and I can feel every muscle in my body when I move now. My energy level has skyrocketed and I've been waking up earlier in the morning then ever in my life ready to start my day! Have to give a shout-out to the coaches (especially Lisa) she coach most of the classes I attended for their support and encouragement. I appreciate that I was able to work at my own speed in the beginning because I was extremely weak and now I've built up some strength and can keep up with the best of them . Also I have to say I appreciate the little store that they have at their facility was able to grab whatever I needed if I left something at home. And got some cute new workout apparel. Just have to say it was an amazing transformation and I'm so grateful to have been a part of it and definitely encourage anybody who is looking to get healthier, toned, and stronger and relieve stress. This is the way to go! I love love love Kickboxing!!! Lost 13 pounds & 6% body fat in 6 weeks! read more

This review is long overdue. I joined ILKB earlier this year. And it has improved my physical and mental health significantly. Overall, I am stronger. I have more energy through out the day. I love that every class is fun yet challenging. Always different. There are multiple class times available so it makes it easy to attend class after work. The music selection is good, hip and trendy. Definitely keeps you moving. All the trainers are great and motivating. I like that the trainers work out along with us instead of just telling us what to do. I also like that we do stretches together before and after, helps to prevent injuries and make sure our body recovers well. I'm hoping to get my friends and coworkers to join me someday as they noticed how much ILKB benefits me. Shout out to Summer!..Thank you Summer for always making me feel welcomed when I come to class. Mostly, for providing positivity, encouragement, and good vibes all around! Overall, highly recommend trying it out!! read more

I have been an athlete all my life and was feeling stagnant in the gym. After taking basically a year off due to the pandemic and my own laziness, I decided it was time for a change. That change turned out to by iLoveKickboxing-Poway. I was absolutely blown away by how much fun it was and signed up for a years worth of classes after my first day. Two months in to my membership and there's no sign of slowing down! If you're thinking about trying it, sign up today! You won't regret it. read more

Signed up for their 5 class special that included free gloves. I loved that the first session they had a trainer standing next to you showing you the moves and making sure your technique is correct. All the instructors were friendly and supportive. I love that we don't do the same routines every week. Locker rooms are mad small tho. It's hard to get in and out and the mats would appreciate a wipe down after every class. read more

TOO EXPENSIVE!!!! Compared to other kickboxing gyms, the price for a one-year membership is average. However, there are zero perks. This location has limited parking so I had to arrive 50 minutes early to get one of their 12 spots. The "locker room" is small and more like a bathroom with lockers. The facility offers 27 bags, but no additional workout stations, unlike other gyms. They hired members that lack prior teaching experience to be their kickboxing instructors. It was disorganized at times and I expected professional instructors for the price I paid. Not joining this gym again! read more

Kickboxing is such a great workout. The awesome coaches at ILKB make it even better.

Looking for a workout that challenges you physically and mentally, works your whole body, and is actually FUN? Looking for a community of friends and coaches that support you and push you to be your best self? Well, if not definitely don't come here ;) Super welcoming, clean, and energetic studio that nows how to give you a good workout and a good time. ILoveKickboxing Poway has been a constant in my life despite the ever changing world around us, and let's be honest the constant change in our heads too. And if I know one thing is for sure, they have given me a space to stay in shape and relieve some stress on the bag all year round. Would recommend x100000! read more

Talk about a challenging workout! Losing 16 lbs and 6.3% body fat over 6 weeks feels AMAZING! I gained 4% muscle over this time as well. I have never done kickboxing until now and it was a phenomenal experience. The classes are structured with not just punching the bag, but also fundamental body weight strategies to get you in good shape! I was doing this after my newborn daughter was 2 months old.The energy in the class is just so motivating and you can go at your own pace. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking to do something that is trying to get into shape or maintain it. So much fun! read more

Coach Lisa was Awesome! Also great music choices for all segments of workout, challenging combos for each round, all around fabulous full body workout! read more

I recently completed the 6 Week Challenge and chose the goal of losing 6% bodyfat. I ended up losing 17.4 pounds, 6.4% body fat and gained 2% muscle - which means I'll be getting my accountability deposit back! All of the coaches were helpful whenever I came in with a list of questions. Throughout the six weeks, I had the opportunity to take class from 5 different coaches. The only negative (for me), is the location. I was commuting from Chula Vista, so this meant commitment and a set schedule. read more

Soooooo I braved the elements of kickboxing with my kid tonight, and...I thought I would like it...well, I was wrong...I freakin' loved it. This 43, (cough) year old body still got some umph in it!! Thanks Jonas for being my 1 on 1 coach, Brandon for having faith I wouldn't die, & Elieha for a kick a&@ class!! You will definitely see my pink gloves on the floor again!! read more

iLoveKickboxing- Poway - Gyms Near Me - Poway, California

I did the 6 week challenge here, which I was hesitant about at first, but was glad I pushed through it to the end. The coaches helped motivate me, as well as the community of other members in the challenge. I was able to lose 13 pounds in those 6 weeks. Though I finished the challenge, I am still continuing to take kickboxing classes at this location. I enjoy the intensity workout and the energy of the class. If you aren't open to doing the challenge, at least take a class, it has been a good source of releasing stress. read more

I was texting with "a coach" About coming in for this free class and I told her I was going to be there five minutes late and she said no problem we'll be waiting for you. I walked into the studio and a coach is talking to someone else outside the class and told me that because I was late that I'd have to come another time. When I acted surprised and told her I've been texting with her and that she said it was fine for me to come, she explained to me that the person who is texting does not work there. I was frustrated but figured since I was already there I might as well go in and take a quick look at the class. The woman in the studio was nice and seemed sympathetic, she said I could join the class but then once I told her I'd never been before she said that I actually couldn't join the class and that I would have to come back or a consultation. When I told her that I was very confused, she said that they have had people coming in saying that they were getting texts and that they don't know that these people are coming and that it might be a scam. I signed up directly through them and got all the text through them but it seems pretty obvious that they have their own studio and local staff and they also probably have online telemarketers. It seems like all of the one star reviews have similar complaints, so if the business is reading this, I would suggest that the online sales department and the local studio work better together because it seemed like it was a nice studio on the inside but this is a horrible way to start a journey back into working out after not working out for a while. read more

I love the coaches, the warm up, the 8 rounds of kickboxing really keeps you moving. Don't underestimate these classes it really tests you. The best workout in my opinion! read more

the thought of me boxing has been ingrained in my mind as a child, watching my dad imitate and word his boxing moves it was great then, i found out about ILKB & ddnt have the guts to try it out until my friend joined my attempt at the 6-week challenge. i need to learn discipline. i think this is a good place to strengthen my muscles, learn proper technique and discipline myself to reach the goal i have set for myself. each of the coaches have something different to share with you. so, i encourage u to try out and see what that is ;-) read more

I wish I could give 10 stars. ILKB of Poway is the workout I've been looking for all these years. I didn't know a full body workout would be so fun. Coaches are awesome. They push you every day to grow stronger. Give ILKB of Poway a try. You will be so happy.you did. read more

Fun, clean and great instructors. Love the early morning classes if I don't get lazy and actually attend. The room has a great energy and you leave the class sweaty and stronger each time. Love that there is no concept of time while in the class and you won't find any clock in the room. The first 15-20 minutes is high intensity cardio/workout and then kickboxing training. read more

Love love Summer, Rachel, Lisa and the other instructors... always such great energy:). Best workout ever

Have to completely agree with Diane's below review. I came in last week because I was reached out to through text message about their 6 week challenge. The lady I that was texting me mentioned right from the gate that it was FREE!! I've been wanting to do kickboxing so I decided to do the consultation and do the challenge since it is FREE!! Get there and I do the weight and body fat. Totally fine with that. We go through the conversation back and forth. She gets through the end of her "pitch" and says in order to make the challenge free you either need to pay $499 up front but get it back if you complete the challenge which is losing 25lbs. Or 6% body fat. Another way the challenge is free is if you purchase a membership for $169 per month for a minimum contract of 12 months. BULLSHIT!!! Lol completely took me back! I even said well if I was going to go with either option I would go with a membership but I wasn't expecting to pay anything at all but you mentioning free when we first talked was a way for you to get me here I get it. Lol she heard me but kept talking. Your sales pitched sucked! And on top of that you totally manipulated to get someone to come in. Not a great way to go about business. Don't advertise free of it ain't free. Advertise free but some conditions apply. Or Advertise free* your gonna continue to get shitty ass reviews if you try and do people hella dirty like this read more

On your first visit they really cater to you because they want you to sign up but after that you better just figure things out. I purchased a never expiring amount of classes because I hate commitment. It's been 1 1/2 years & I still have yet to use them all. I only go on Friday evenings cause classes fill up in the week & you could end up sharing a bag. Lately I feel like the instructors could really care less. They show you a combo once in the middle of the room, start the music & walk away leaving you to your own device. I could get a bag & do everything they do at home with more enthusiasm & will once I'm done using all these classes... read more

I initially signed up for a 3 day trial but after my 2nd class, I signed up for a membership. I was "hooked" (get it?! Haha)! All the instructors, Elieha, Rachel, Lisa, Angel, and Sway are awesome and they really know how to motivate you to push harder (in a good way) when your mind and body are telling you to quit. I highly recommend iLoveKickboxing if you're looking for a super fun and HIIT style workout! read more

I love Kickboxing is true to their name. I never thought I would say I LOVE KICKBOXING! First day of class I was extremely nervous but the instructors have a great personalities that they made the intense class seem easy. Working out never felt so good. read more

Omg I lovveee I love kickboxing. The instructors are awesome and they are very helpful. I learned a lot from them. I recommend everyone come and try a class. You will have fun while punching bags. Go and get the frustrations out read more

I've been an ILKB member for a year now and I love it. Kickboxing has been a great way to get a good work out and punch away some stress! I started off with the 6 week challenge back in MA and transferred to the Poway location when I moved to Cali. The coaches here are awesome and definitely challenge you to do your best every day!!! If you get the chance to take a class go for it!! You won't regret it read more

I've seen a lot of one star/two star reviews about the false advertising for the challenge but growing up in a busy city this business tactic is not new to me so honestly I wasn't surprised when towards the end of the consultation they revealed the costs $499 for the challenge and $49/month for 12 months contract with $209 initiation fee and $250 cancellation fee if you cancel your membership. I've read the owner's responses in the one/two star reviews about the pride they take in their service but talking about various aspects of their services: 1. The representative we spoke with was under the impression that she was motivating the customer but in fact she sounded demotivating. Infact, when the customer spoke candidly about self to her, she seemed very unfriendly about it. 2. The first impression I had of the facility in Poway: one trainer for a group of maybe 20-30. While the trainer instructs in the front, people from different corners were trying hard to watch and follow. For intermediate/advance people this might be a good setting but not for beginners. Or have another instructor on the floor going around the customers to monitor their forms. Actually, when I suggested this to the representative, she got defensive and said, "People have been here for a while so they know their form. The instructor shows the form and you can just follow it. And if you still have questions you can ask before/after the class". Sometimes people don't realize they're doing it wrong which can cause serious issues and injuries. The plain assumption that "they know" or are watching the instructor so they can do the form right shows clearly that they don't understand the struggles of beginners and the importance of right form. Anyway, the final verdict from me would be, check around other boxing clubs before falling for their words. read more

Very disappointing and unfortunate! I, like the others that have mentioned the same, felt their advertisement was a bait and switch for sure! I was so excited to try their classes with no financial pressure to see if this would be a great fit, only to find out that it is far from FREE!! I think the part that was most disappointing is learning this surprise at the END of the consultation. This is definitely not a way to start any relationship. Good luck with your business, but personally, I would reconsider the way you design your Instagram ad. There is a famous saying... if a customer is happy, they tell a couple of people, if they are not, they tell many more!!! :-( read more
