Not only is John Wai Kung Fu/iLovekickboxing one of the best gyms I have ever been to, and I have…read morebeen to quite a few, but it is a family. The people that work here and go here are some of the most special and unique people I have ever meet. To be honest I should have written a review about this place a long time ago when I lived in Florida, but I didn't, I dropped the ball, but while back visiting after a year away I stopped in and the feeling of love and welcome was so overwhelming I would be amiss to not step up and say how much I love this place. This gym offers a unique variety of things that you can't find at your regular box gyms. You can take Kickboxing, Sanshou, Kung Fu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or Bootcamp. They offer classes for both kids and adults 7 days a week. From the time you walk in to the time you leave, they really do take the extra time to focus on you. Your needs, your goals, your weaknesses, your strengths. Always encouraging you and always there to call you out if you need it, and trust me sometimes I did. Walking into John Wai, you feel warm and welcome. It reminds me of Cheers "Where every body knows your name, and they are always glad you came". Not only do they offer a gym where you can really reach those goals that you want, they offer more, they offer an amazing community, a family. Walking into a new gym is often scary and you always run into these cliques, but this place is the only place I have never ever experienced that. From the owner down to the newest member everyone is happy, helpful, and friendly. Tucked away in the back of a tiny plaza in the middle of Plantation, this place really is a diamond in the rough. I know when I leave again at the end of my holiday this will be one place that I will always miss, not matter where I go and I will always look forward to visiting when I come back. If you are really looking for a place to workout and meet amazing people, this is the place to go!

My experience is limited to the classes through Groupon:…read more Pros: -Instructors are friendly and enthusiastic. -They give you free boxing gloves with a Groupon deal. Cons: -After a first class, they grab you and go over one year membership (very pushy!!). -It is difficult to reserve a spot. They only allow you to reserve one class at a time if you are not a regular member. -You can only reserve a spot in person or by calling. However, they are only available to answer your call a couple hours before the evening classes. -When you finally get a chance to talk to them, the classes are full. The instructor told me that they can only allow 4 beginners per class. Thus, although the classes weren't full, I couldn't take the class. In conclusion, it just took too much effort to take a class and enjoy the workout.

I have been training with Coach Carl Ranieri since I was a teenager graduating from high school…read more Without the opportunity to train, to challenge myself and test my limits, I would not be the man I am today. Carl gives each student attention, beginner or pro. He is an avid fan of martial arts and loves to help people work hard for their fitness goals. If you are looking for a place to make new friends, learn new things, or to stay disciplined, Coach Carl @ Rock MMA is the man to go to! Before I trained, I was struggling with mental health issues and as a young man I felt so lost. Carl leads by example for all ages of his students, children or adult. He sincerely wants to help you build your best self. Now I am a mixed martial artist, I have stepped in competitive arenas I never thought I would, and I have learned how to win. Without these gifts from Carl, I would not feel so proud of the work I have put in!

What I love most about the atmosphere is that you don't have to be anything but yourself and you don't have to be a fitness expert. There are so many different fitness levels, ages and backgrounds of people that are working on themselves for their own reasons and goals. I enjoy how each session is different from the last and the class sizes are just perfect; some days there are 2/3 of us and other times a group of 10/11. It gives a nice personal touch and sense of 1:1 training. I'm looking forward to continuing my personal fitness goals here at this gym.

Our daughters (11 & 9) have been attending PMA Plantation for a little over a year and we couldn't…read morebe happier by our decision to choose PMA. We had checked out a couple other martial arts studios in the area prior to PMA but as soon as we walked in we knew PMA was different. Our girls were nervous and intimidated their first intro class but the instructors were so awesome about going at our girls pace and making them feel comfortable and welcome. Our girl's have flourished in so many ways, even outside of martial arts. Particularly for them, their confidence & empathy. The girls have had the privilege of being instructed by Mr. Neves, Mr. Garcia and Mr. Guerrero. They are awesome instructors and people. They truly care about the students and their progress. And they're great about giving corrections and critiques in a constructive, positive way. The training is not only instructional but also fun. The training they receive is not just self defense and technique but also life lessons. They're tasked with "homework" related to self discipline, team work, etc. Belt testing is signed off by parents and their teacher. That way the students are held accountable for their eligibility to test for their next belt. I can't say enough about how happy we are to have found PMA but here are a few more: -class times and days work for many different schedules -very much a community feeling. lots of events/ activities to attend/participate in -Parents Night Out (it's a Friday night, there's a theme, parents drop off the kiddos for a few hours of play & fun) -adult classes available for parents and older siblings -studio is always clean

They are both very patient and make this an enjoyable self-defense school. Although the lessons are a lot of fun, especially for the youngsters, very important principles are reinforced in order to move up in rank from belt to belt. More than that, unheard of during my time studying martial arts, Premier Martial Arts-Plantation even asks for background reviews from the child's teachers in order to ensure principles of focus and respect are being followed. This makes Premier Martial Arts-Plantation a phenomenal black belt school.

I've been coming here for more than a year now and I can honestly say that the boxing classes here…read moreare probably my favorite part of my fitness regimen which I split between strength training, OrangeTheory, and The GYM. I originally got interested in boxing by trying out some workouts at 9-Round but I wanted to learn some better technique. Boy i didn't know how much I didn't know until I started at The Gym Boxing. Marty is an amazing guy - super friendly but incredibly knowledgeable. He has trained many professional athletes so he knows his stuff. He really focuses on technique and I feel I have learned a ton in the past year. I even had a one on one training session with him and it was awesome. The cardio classes here are fun and intense. They are definitely an awesome workout as I feel pretty spent after each session. There are people of all levels in the class and absolutely no judgement on beginners. There are many regulars that have been coming for years and everyone is very friendly. Overall if you are thinking about boxing or just getting in shape, I highly recommend The GYM Boxing as it has been awesome.

The instructors are always helpful, accommodating, encouraging & challenging. They offer over 90 classes a week at an affordable unlimited monthly rate and they're not pretentious at all. People go there to work out and Tony, Phil & Niecey will know you by name making you feel that you belong because you do! If you want to get in & get out that's fine, too. There's a variety of classes including: HIIT (Zone), spin, Pilates Reformer, yoga, Zumba, TRX and if you want to look at their entire lineup check them out on the MindBody app. The class variety and quality to cost just can't be beat. These are quality classes where there's something for everyone, beginner or novice. I find the classes are always challenging and I've been working out for a while. Yet don't be intimidated if you're new either b/c they do a great job at modifying until you're ready to add that extra weight, rep, whatever it is that you need. As I mentioned before this studio is not pretentious. No one there has to look like silicone Barbie or Ken to give you a good workout or work out beside you. It's a friendly laid back atmosphere, but you'll still get a great workout. The instructors are all great! They teach to their own style, but are always challenging. Stacey is the best Pilates Reformer instructor hands down. I believe she has over 20 yrs of experience. Everyone's always shaking & sweating (sometimes limping, in a good way) from her class. Jimmy is hardcore, like a drill sergeant, but always changes it up and will offer modified versions if you need. Colleen and Darnell are also great and always change things up, so you're never bored. They're both so encouraging, motivating and have the best music. Lastly, regarding the billing when I had any issue (which was maybe once) I'd call or ask in-person. I think sometimes technology & billing can require a bit of a learning curve, so be patient and bring it up if it wasn't resolved to your liking the first time. I find it's likely oversight than intentional because that was the case with me. I hope more great things are to come and that they expand their members, space and classes!
