Our son started training with Ninja Nguyen and his family about a year ago and now we’re moving. It’s sad for us and our son to leave this family. Great people and great philosophy. Definitely recommend.

Best studio/gym/dojo I have ever been to!! I started my journey here at ILKB 2/1/2020. I had been searching for a place where I felt comfortable and motivated to continue my pursuit in a healthier lifestyle, after having 3 children- but many of the places I tried out- didn’t do that for me- until I found ILKB Medford. Everyone in the dojo (owners, staff, fellow members) are so helpful and welcoming, and truly focused on improving everyone’s health. I consider this place my 2nd family now, learning and growing with everyone! As a personal accomplishment- ILKB has helped me lose 25lbs, get stronger, and build my confidence.... and not to mention- I could probably defend myself against a small army with the skills I’ve learned. I see ILKB as my therapy (both mental and physical)! I am so grateful and appreciative - and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this studio to anyone who is looking for a full lifestyle improvement!!

What is not to love? Ive been a member since June 2019. This is a great family-owned business and Ninja Nguyen and Anna L Nguyen are really invested in your fitness and goals. The environment is friendly, positive, supportive, and the instructors are really top notch. I love coming here and supporting this local business! If I could give this training facility more stars, I would.

Amazing place! The instructors are so helpful and motivating. They don’t make you feel out of place or like you don’t belong. Whether you’re looking to kickbox or lift some weights, they have everything!

Before I moved to the area and came to Xtreme Ninja Martial Arts Center and I Love Kickboxing Medford MA, I was not excercising, unhappy, overweight, and anti-social. Since I began training and excercising here for the past five months, I have a lost 20 pounds so far and I now live a healthier and happier lifestyle. This has increased my social life as well and have gained friends as a surprising result and these new friends that I have made here have inspired me and motivated me to come to class, especially Ninja. I went from dreading exercising to getting excited about it and I look forward to going each and every time now. When I arrive in class, I felt like Clark Kent and after doing each workout, I feel like Superman. Each session is like a one hour transformation into the Man of Steel. I just want to say that Im so grateful for the education and support I received, for the people Ive met, and the friends Ive made since I started. I cant imagine my life without this.

I cannot recommend this place enough! My first day was no joke, it was on a flex friday and I ended up puking (but it was so worth it)!! One of the owners of the franchise was present and literally talked and walked me through everything -- shes the best! The staff members who lead the classes are well educated and clearly know what they are doing. You will learn a ton and you will do things that you probably never thought you would do in order to attack every muscle of your body. (hint, hint -- you will be sore the day after your workouts). Everyone from the the staff members to the group members are helpful and motivational. No one judges you and everyone is more than willing to help you through the workouts. Every class is switched up and a little different than the last, so you will never get bored. It is a jam-packed hour of intense stuff and you will not regret joining this place!! They have great offers to start and even to continue with them that I would strongly recommend to anyone looking for more than just running on a treadmill! You even get free gloves! Go go go! You wont regret it. :)

The Medford kickboxing community has been a supportive and uplifting community for me since I started in October. I came in with zero kickboxing experience and the instructors have been patient, kind, and welcome feedback to make the experience better for me. I have been prepared for success with their instruction and guidance. I came in with goals to become stronger and more confident, in my body, and mind, and this center and its staff have encouraged and supported my journey to a healthier me - holistically. I am grateful to them all for living the values in practice that they promote. These are the values of respect for all, an inclusive approach, encouragement, body positivity, mental (as well as physical) well-being, forgiveness, courage, and resilience.

Im still in pain from my first class, this is pain-day 2. I regret nothing! Although I havent had many workouts for at least 6 months, I pushed myself very hard (hence the pain). I have some martial arts experience and the instructors picked up on that and worked with me at an appropriate level. I had a ton of fun and am excited to go back as soon as my muscles heal. The instructor Christian, was awesome and wicked friendly. Rhett worked with me to make sure I wasnt getting lost during the class and he helped me modify combinations. Awesome job guys (5 stars for them).On the first day, I was offered a great deal on a membership and told it was now or never. I respect the marketing technique but it did feel like pressure to join before I was completely sure Id be interested in a commitment. So really think about it ahead of time on what youd be willing to commit to. This point is the only reason I gave 4 stars, but as I continue going Ill review some more about how its going. :)

Working out is now my favorite part of my day. The classes are fun and challenging. I’ve tried multiple ilovekickboxing locations and the staff here is by far the friendliest and most supportive. I’m in the best shape of my life thanks to them!

I cant say enough great things about ILKB Medford. The classes are incredible--intense, but also have modifications for all skill/fitness levels. The facility is clean, organized and well maintained. They also have updated equipment and technology to make booking classes, taking online classes, logging workouts and connecting with the staff easy. The owners are skilled, kind, dedicated and so knowledgeable. They really care about their clients and want to see them succeed. Their instructors are very professional, helpful and give consistent direction/coaching. It has a very welcoming, friendly atmosphere and it quickly can become a second home for many. The Nguyen family make it a point to make people feel like family and use positive reinforcement to encourage you towards your goals. The classes are great for men and women, but they also make sure to empower women to become their strongest selves. This is not your average kickboxing class or dojo. It is one of a kind and so worth it. In the months since joining, I was able to lose 12lbs and 4.5% body fat!

I love this place. Instructor is knowledgeable and makes sure you do proper form. They have you warm up first to help with prevention of injuries. If you have ever wanted to try kickboxing or get back into it this is the place.

I started here almost a year ago with the goal of losing weight, and admittedly I did not want to buy new clothes in a larger size. At the beginning, I went about twice a week for the first couple of months. Once I really started seeing results, feeling better, and seeing improvement in my own technique, I started going to classes about 3-4 times a week. I have lost about 30 lbs to date, and clothes that I could no longer fit 4 years ago are now too large! It is a good problem to have, but now I need to buy a smaller belt and new clothes.At the beginning, the workouts feel a bit brutal. It is a humbling experience even if your feel like you are in shape. The workouts are an hour but they fly by. From the time we start warming up to the time we are beating the punching bag, everything feels cohesive and fun. The staff is friendly, and the space itself is very family friendly. The ILKB side is one big room, and connected at the front is the martial arts center. There is always some type of activity going on so a moment of dead silence is rare, which helps keep the energy flowing in the air.Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone that is trying to lose weight, and get healthy. Training here has given me confidence, and I would not be where I am today without the support that I have received here.

Best workout ever! The instructors are awesome and they keep you motivated throughout the whole workout. You feel comfortable even during your first class! I use to see no progress when going to the gym but now after a few classes, I feel stronger and leaner. Go check them out!

It has been only three weeks since I joined kick boxing class. At first I was not at all sure as I have never done it before and I get demotivated easily. But I changed my mind just after the first class. Every one in the class is super friendly and helpful. You have to really work hard but I think the outcome is amazing. I must say, I have started loving kick boxing.

I feel very motivated and excited about working out in here. It’s impressive how fun it can be to come in for one hour and leave feeling empowered and motivated (and also exhausted, but in the best possible way). The staff is super friendly and they know what they are talking about- they really care and they will make you feel comfortable but won’t let you be lazy. It’s a very nice diverse community.

My sister and I signed up using a Groupon and it was so worth it! The classes have been amazing - fun and really intense work outs. And the instructors (so far Ive had Tina and Ninja) are so helpful. In general the staff has been friendly and willing to accommodate, and its been a great experience at Medford.

This is a great place! Staff and students are all friendly and helpful and the workout is intense, perfect for folks that want more than cardio kickboxing but arent necessarily interested in sparring.

I was interested in picking up a hobby that had something to do with fitness, so I started looking into kickboxing. I found iLoveKickboxing online and signed up for the three class, free glove special. I went to my first class and immediately fell in love. The class was super high energy, fun, sweaty, etc, and was exactly what I was looking for. The instructors are great and it is super easy to sign up for classes on the mobile app. Make sure you sign up early enough, classes fill up fast! The one suggestion I have would be to add another class around 6:30-7am. The 5:30am classes are way too early and I have to work at 8am, so my only option is to come in the evening. One more early class would be great because I would much prefer to come in the mornings.

The name cheesy enough is not a lie. You get a great combination workout of cardio, strength and technique. The staff are so encouraging and are always trying to help you improve. I’ve been going for a year and ilovekickboxing has really helped me love working out in general. I have seen major improvement in my strength, coordination, endurance and self love.

This place is AWESOME!!! Ive never done kickboxing before but saw an amazing deal on groupon and thought it was worth finally checking the place out. I am so glad I did! Not only is it an amazing workout, its also run by an awesome owner with the coolest name, Ninja!

After struggling for years to find a workout that I could commit to I finally found it at ilovekickboxing Medford. The staff here are amazing. Since the second my friend and I walked in they’ve been so friendly and helpful. It’s daunting to be so out of shape and start working out but the staff and fellow clients here are so incredibly supportive. I highly recommend.

The studio at ILKB Medford is, in a word, AWESOME. Not only are the classes fun and as challenging as you are ready for, the place truly feels like a community from the day you walk in. My primary attraction was the 5:30 am classes Monday through Friday, which works beautifully for my schedule. I am done with my workout before I take the kids to school and get to work! Talk about a sense of accomplishment! The second thing I noticed was how attentive the staff are. Every instructor I have had knows my name when I walk in, and often remembers if I had asked questions about something specific, like form or stretching. That personal follow-up really makes the difference. Their online presence also is a huge draw for me, as it keeps me motivated to check in and see what others are doing. I am really happy I found this place – I am on my way to being the healthiest I have been since having my first child 16 years ago!

Purchased Groupon package for 10 classes. Took 1st class and boy what a workout. Received free bottled water and 12lb boxing gloves. Great workout for the 45mins intro class. On the adjoining room they do karate and muay thai for adults and kids. Staff was super friendly and the instructor ninja looks like a badass teacher

Beware guys! They trick you into signing the contract but the cancelation policy is very shady and give you very hard time to get the refund ! Scam alert!

ILoveKickboxing Medford is amazing! I had played soccer my entire life and was used to being very fit and working out every day. After I stopped playing a couple of years ago, I have tried multiple different gyms, but no workout compares to the one you will get at ILKB Medford! The staff are just as amazing and really makes you feel like you are part of one big family!

Excellent workout for mind & body. Class is structured well with 15 minute warmup of jogging, pushups, running mans, burpees. Can go at your pace without being embarrassed. Dont be intimidated. I was a little at 1st - but there is no need. It really is all about personal growth, and progress. Then, there is about 45 minutes of body bag punching combinations where a lot of stress is released while toning arms. Last 10 minutes involve a variety of exercises from day to day - followed by abs. Never boring. High energy, fun workout.
