"The "free" advertised plan is not free at all, don't be fooled. My partner got pressured into signing a contract with them, had a medical emergency, contacted ILB, and no response. She has consistently been charged since, and has constantly been ignored by ILB, along with being pressured into purchasing hundreds worth of equipment, on top of not being allowed access to her own contract"

"This place is money hungry and unprofessional. Avoid BRI at all costs. She is deceiving and will tell you one thing but then charge you extra money & say another thing. Will tell you that you’re getting an “individualized” meal plan, but the plan includes nothing your talked about or even your name at the very least!!! Will not be returning. Avoid Bri and this establishment at all costs."

"best place for a good workout and motivation. I've become more active and pushed myself to do more coming here. The staff is great, always motivating for things on and off the mat. You become like family here, along with a great workout. I’ve been here for over 3 years and still coming back. I love having the motivation from instructors and others to work out and get in shape!! IT'S WORTH IT. It might be different than anything you've seen or been to before but between the energy in the building and the friends you make... you'll be part of the fitfam instantly. Give it a shot, what's the worst thing that can happen? Exactly."

"I’m not usually one to post about working out or fitness. But, here I am approaching the 1 year anniversary of me deciding to change my life and to start kickboxing. For years, I struggled with my weight fluctuating, unhealthy eating habits, painful bloating, and a general state of not feeling good or confident in my own body. After years of playing soccer and cheerleading as a child and teenager, my body began to slow down as I went through college and law school, navigated the pandemic, and started my career. The weight kept slowly adding on, my bloating seemed to be getting worse, and I just thought to myself, “well, this is how life works, you gain weight as you get older.” I would stare at myself in the mirror, fixated on what I didn’t like on a nearly daily basis. The gym has never been a fun place for me, it has always been somewhere I went to focus on the negatives of my body. So, over the years I tried many “quick fixes” that I’m sure most of us have at some point in time - some that I’m not so proud of, and all of which were not actually helping me long term. When fad diets and extreme work out routines weren’t sustainable (or fun), I just gave up and accepted defeat for a while. In the beginning of 2023, I kept seeing advertisements for a kickboxing studio near me, and after a few drives past it, I convinced myself to walk in and just see what everything was about. Fast forward to now… Here I am, 1 year of kickboxing under my belt, named kickboxer of the month in August 2023, 20+ pounds down, nearly 10% of body fat lost, the strongest I’ve ever felt in my life, and the most confident I’ve ever felt about how I look. But, it’s not all about numbers. I’m able to run around with my dogs and nephews. My blood pressure is finally in a normal range without medication - an issue I’ve been dealing with for over 3 years. I’m happy and excited to go to the studio. I love my body, just as it is. I’m strong. I’m proud of my progress. The last year has truly been life changing. A huge thank you to all of the incredible instructors at ILKB-Norwood that have encouraged me, pushed me, and motivated me to be a better version of myself. Your high energy, positivity, and wellness tips are unmatched and inspire me to work towards my goals every single day. You have somehow managed to make me fall in love with fitness. I can’t forget to also shout out all the amazing members of ILKB-Norwood that I’ve met in the past year. I’m so grateful for the friendships I’ve formed and all the support and encouragement I’ve received. I always know that no matter what class I attend, I’ll be surrounded by excited and motivated people who want to lift me up. It really is a FitFAM! I can’t wait to officially renew my membership for another year (and another, and another…). Thank you, iLoveKickboxing!!!"

"If you’re looking for an exhilarating and empowering fitness experience, look no further. I was initially very hesitant since I had not been working out in years and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep up but ILKB classes are tailored to fit everyone really. I joined the 6 week challenge in late May and I lost 22 pounds and also feel so much more energized. I didn’t enjoy a work out this much in almost 18 years and and you definitely start feeling and seeing results after the first classes. Pedro and his team make sure you get the best out of your workout without pressuring you and they make you feel like you are a part of a very big family. I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone who feels like they want to change something about their lifestyle but don’t really know where to start."
