Joining ILovekickboxing/​Kendall Center has been my best decision ever! Since I stepped foot in this center I became hooked and drawn to the routine and to its instructors. I have met amazing people all with the same goal, «to get fit, lose weight while having fun.» This is what ILovekickboxing/​Kendall has done for me and for so many. I am going through a complete body transformation, and it has been an exiting and fun journey with the support, coaching and motivation this amazing group of instructors provide on a daily basis.

I love this place! I was looking for a change in my cardio and workout routine so when my friend told me about this place I figured I’d check it out. Everyone was so welcoming. During the sessions, they walk around to help you and make sure your form is good so you don’t hurt yourself. When I’ve gone injured, they help me tweak my workout. Since I’ve been going, I have toned more and lost inches, plus lost some weight, which is a big plus! I look forward to class everyday! I can’t recommend this place enough. Check it out!

I was looking for a strong cardio experience that was more than just your standard running and jumping, but not as potentialy injury prone as crossfit, so I decided to try kickboxing, and was lucky enough to try iLoveKickboxing here. I had my first class, and though I was really hoping to like it, my expectations were completey exceeded and I loved it! The studio is very nice and clean. The instructors are AWESOME!!! The pace is «kickbutt» but if you have to stop to rest, and many did, that’s fine. You just do your best. The other clients/​customers are pretty awesome. You start off with cardio and core building exercises. You then move onto the «rounds» of bag pounding. You end with some stretching and light core exercises. After the «rounds» with the bags, the entire group congratulates each other by touching gloves. You get a ton of encouragement from everyone. It’s just fun! I arrived dry. I left soaked, but felt like a million bucks! I knew this was exactly what I was looking for, and though I had a Groupon for 10 classes, I signed up that night. I’m really excited about all of the benefits that I am going to get from my experiences here!

The staff here is amazing! Nicole, Angie, and Joel are super motivating and always challenge me to get a great workout. I’ve been going to ILKB since November 2014 and every class is different and can cater to different fitness levels. People at this studio are also a big plus, we give each other a «good job» + [pound gloves] after each bag round. If you want to tone up, lose weight, be motivated, and cross train this is a great studio to go to!

I’ve been coming here since May of 2015 and since day one I’ve been smitten. I came to ilovekickboxing looking for a workout that challenged me and engaged me as well as helped me tone and get fit, and I found it here. Weight loss is an added bonus. The team at ilovekickboxing kicks my ass in all the right places. They’re great motivators and even though it’s a class, I feel like I have my own personal trainer. In fact, they’re so personable. There’s a fb group for your kickboxing location and our trainers take the time to inspire us daily with motivational posts. Those tiny posts serve as instant reminders that I need to get back on the bag. In only 3 months that I’ve been with them, my body looks and feels better and fitter, my energy is boosted, and I can hold my own in a street fight if I ever needed to… not that I’m looking for a fight or anything.

What can I say about ILKB? Wow. This place has amazing and energetic trainers, great music and wonderful members!
I started at ILKB — Kendall (but I have taken the class at South Miami as well) to support my girlfriend, but I was quickly hooked! I have a long martial arts background, so I was honestly hesitant at first, but I found it to be a great workout and a wonderful supplement to a weight lifting schedule.
Their trainers rotate between the Kendall, South Miami and Doral locations, but typically you will find either Liz, Angie or Joel at Kendall, with visits from Master Agon and his daughter (and trainer) Nicole. Every trainer is truly great, and each one has his or her own style. All of the trainers will focus your core, arms, legs — really your whole body! And I promise that if you put in the work, you will get an amazing workout. It’s not just a place to work out though, there is a definite camaraderie between everyone there and ILKB plans many events for its members.
They currently have a great deal going on, $ 20 for 3 classes and it includes boxing gloves — it’s worth a shot, even if you are unsure.
They also offer personal training if you so desire! So there is something for everyone!
Stop in to ILKB and I promise you wont regret it.

DO NOT JOIN. I would compare this to a «bait and switch».
They bait you by learning your name and making you feel welcome. I signed up for the year contract. However, after 6 months of doing the class, I realized that the workouts are not very well done. Anyone can make you squat, run, and then lunge a bunch of times to make you feel really tired and it looks like they’re giving you «a really good workout» when its not true. A good workout is one that is well rounded and makes you feel like you can give it alot more when you have nothing left.
When i showed reluctance in the class, THEY REFUSED TO CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP. I had to ride out everything. They have no concern for people that don’t want to pay them. They just bait you into signing a contract and you’re locked. up. $ 500 owed quickly became $ 800. Its the biggest waste of money I’ve ever spent in my life.

I take a bootcamp classes 4 times a week, and thought about changing up my workout routine. So a friend of mine from work told me about a Groupon that they were offering, so I purchased it and decided to check it out.
The instructors were very welcoming, showing me the correct way to do the workouts and including me into the groups. During the one hour class, you start with some cardio and bootcamp-​style workouts, and then the 2^nd half hour, you go into the kickboxing. The workouts can get pretty intense, which is what I like. Non-​stop, adrenaline rushing, workouts. I loved the format of the classes. However, the only thing I didn’t like is not having shoes on. Since you are working out on a mat, they require you to take off your shoes. I am not a big fan of that because you are constantly jumping around, dropping down for burpees, coming back up for jumping jacks etc. and the constant up and down hurt my toes. It puts to much pressure on my toes during the workouts. During the kickboxing session, I can understand not having shoes, but for the beginning portion, its too much.
All in all, I definitely recommend coming here for the intense workouts and great comradery. They are quite the little family, and everyone supports each other, which is very nice going into any gym. Unfortunately I cannot continue because the regular rates are a little too pricey for me. Perhaps I will in the future.

Love this place. It’s a Great workout everytime I go. The trainers are awesome too. I highly recommend to anyone trying to challenge themselves or change their workout routine.

Changes instructor very often.

This review is coming from a person that has done various work-​out classes until now. I totally love my kickboxing class. You get a complete workout, a workout that is tough but good. You will see final results in the changes your body goes thru. I have lost 30 pounds on this work out and planning on losing 40 more and I know I will with this workout. Like that trainers are spotting you and correctly showing how to do that particular workout move. Dominic (Kendall drive) is one of the best trainers I have come across, he motivates you to improve and workout harder. best class you can ever join !

Didn’t have a good experience with the owner. Part of my job is to manage some client accounts and and let’s just say I would have never dealt with a customer in the manner in which I was addressed… If you workout super hard and look for instructors with experience, you will eventually leave. The majority of instructors (literally almost all) are NOT certified nor have had any prior experience teaching classes. They pick people they can try and manipulate and mold and con. Management is super unprofessional and disrespectful. They will lie through their teeth just to keep getting your money. If you’re just looking to lose a few pounds and do cardio (that you could literally do at home, a park or gym) sure maybe you’ll enjoy it. There is no equipment, just some bags filled with water. You jump, squat, lunge, do push ups and some combinations all of which you could do on your own for a fraction of the price at a regular gym with real equipment. If you truly want to change your body, go to another kickboxing studio or cross-​fit. This is seriously a waste of your time and money.
