Best place to go if you want to achieve your goals. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Staff are not there just filling hours they actually care for each individual and do their best to improve you for better in every way. Besides physical workout, they are also with you for moral support at anytime. All you need to do is show up 😊. ILKB is the best experience for life.

I love working out in this places just for their personal attention. They push you towards to your goals and they always remind you why you have started in the first place. I love the personal attention that huda showed me since the day one and thanks to her that I’ve completed the 6 weeks challenge and over all I lost over 35 pounds. I can’t thank you guys enough. You became another family to me which I am grateful for. I can’t wait for the end results already!! Highly recommended it. Let’s get some kicks in together 💪🏻👌🏻🥲

The best place to workout in Skokie. I love how professional everyone is. I started to see a difference in my body with the program they recommended for me. I totally recommend it!!!

Had an amazing time at ILKB! From the friendly staff to the motivational atmosphere, you won’t go wrong with the workouts. Keep pushing through your punches and you won’t bore for a moment! Every session will get your heart pumping. Can’t wait for the next session!

Very professional trainers and friendly employees. I enjoyed my 6 week challenge at I love kickboxing Skokie location. Facebook group motivated me and gave me ideas how to cook in healthy way. Highly recommended!

Great gym, reasonable prices, and very friendly atmosphere. This gym has quality equipmemt and great classes to get in shape.

My friend and I paid online for 5 classes. I got an email stating someone will be calling me soon to sign up for my first class. No one ever called. I spent 6 days trying to get a hold of someone, using various methods (calling, emailing, even Facebook messenger since they were active on social media) and all I received were automatic responses stating someone will be in touch soon. I emailed corporate, and yet again received an automatic response with no follow up. The only way to schedule a class is to call, and they didn’t answer the phone or return voicemails for 6 days, so I’m not sure how anyone manages to schedule a class in general. After seeing similar reviews with the same experience I had, I finally disputed the transaction with my bank since it appears this company has no intentions on providing the services I paid for.

I love the high positive energy and the atmosphere during and after the classes! I feel like I’m apart of a fitness family where we all motivate and encourage each other to win !!

If you really want to get real efficiency, you should choose this place. huda is really very professional and helps with everything. thanks team Quinton 👏🏻👏🏻

Ilovekickboxing Skokie is an amazing studio and helps me drop weight and stay focus on my fitness goals. I started my 6 week challenge and the fat is melting away. I love that Huda helped me understand how important nutrition is on my fitness journey. All I have to do workout 3 days a week, follow the nutrition plan and weigh-in weekly. Thanks to Huda, Yohana and Quinton for helping me achieve my fitness goals. I highly recommend this place for everyone that is serious and looking for real resultsThank you Huda !!

Charged $340 for NO SERVICES USED AT ALL!!- $145.00 Monthly Fee- $195.00 Cancellation FeeRequested cancellation of services after 3 days of signup at the location. Explained to owner HUDA, the reason for not attending and would like to get money back but owner kept pushing to take classes when i repeatedly informed her of other competing priorities. Huda kept threatening that $145.00 / monthly fee for boxing will be charged if service is not used.The owner HUDA is very aggressive sales person with no consideration for customers when it comes to $$$$.Learned lesson after paying $340.00 for NO SERVICES USED and requesting to cancel after 3 days of signing the agreement (Right to Recession language referenced by HUDA in the agreement - I hope she is by the book in all her life experiences).NOTE:1) The cancellation request via email was not accepted by the management / owner HUDA at Skokie, IL location.2)The cancellation invoice does not reflect the fact that it is for cancellation. DO NOT FORGET TO ASK FOR DOCUMENTATION CONFIRMING THE CANCELLATION otherwise they can start charging $145 monthly fee for another month or months until you go to the location and fight for your money.BAD EXPERIENCE AND BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!WILL NOT RECOMMEND!

It’s Fun, nice way to workout tbh. Unfortunately I went there only 3 times since I moved to to the city and it was far, but people were super nice, if you want a friendly environment to workout, good instructors and teammates this is definitely a place to go. Not sure if they still do that, but they had challenges so if you want to lose weight or get in shape it’s a perfect place

Wonderful classes! Lots of energy.

Don’t waste your time here **GROUPONS & PROMOS ON THEIR WEBSITE DONT APPLY HERE**I bought a promotion on the ILoveKickboxing website for the Skokie location: 5 classes for $30. I received a call immediately from the Skokie location to set up a time for an introduction, tour, and to talk about my fitness goals before the 1st class.At this “introduction”, I filled out more forms and the receptionist started asking about my fitness goals, what time I can attend, etc. 10 minutes in, he mentions that they’re ONLY accepting new members if they buy MEMBERSHIPS (~$200 per month). Ummm ok???? Then he kept selling the membership (and kept mentioning how paying the year in full would give a discount) - WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME!I ended up getting a refund from Corporate, but why bring people in to waste our time filling out forms & talking about our fitness goals if you’re not going to honor my 5 classes I paid for??

Is this place even open? I’ve been calling non stop to inquire about the schedule but no answer at all

Staff is friendly. Workouts are FUN and really get you moving and sweating. The classes are small and interactive. The trainers walk around to ensure you are using proper and safe technique. SO FAR, I LOVE IT!

First off it’s very clean!!! They clean after each class! The instructors are great motivators and take the time to answer any questions you might have. Despite having to use a mask it’s a very doable workout!!!

No good. They just want you to sign up then leave you to deal with your own workout. It was misleading. I expected having actual teaching and training. This was before pandemic shutdown. You’re better off getting a gym membership, it’s cheaper. There is no focus. The owner is rude and obviously doesn’t care, just wants more bodies to count.

The trainers are why I keep coming back. They take a real interest in you achieving your goals. They push you . Just when you think you don’t have any more in you they help you find that extra strength. When I first came I would have to use an inhaler between the warm up and the rounds. My breathing has gotten much better and my body is stronger. I love that the trainers are on the mat and helping you with the techniques. My eating habits where terrible. With the meal plan I have learned how to make good choices and eat healthier. Thank You! Skokie ILKB

I hate working out, but age is not on my side so I had to find something. One random Facebook pop up and a conversation with Quinton...3 weeks later...I am working ALL the areas I discussed with the plastic surgeon and can see muscle definition where no trainer has gotten me before. The workout is intense, but fun and my insomnia is reduced significantly. I dont like the diet plan for the 6 week challenge, but I do like thay it gives a guideline for overall better food choices and forces me to LOOK for better options from restaurants. Even with an injury, Quinton took the time to modify my workout so that I would get a full experience without further straining the injury.

We signed my wife up for this program. They make it all sound great but don’t explain anything. We’ve tried numerous times to reach out to our agent so she can get access to the app, no response. He never provided a copy of the contract. She Went to 2 classes had no issues, tried attending her 3rd class today she was refused they said you have to pre register, no information was ever relayed about pre registering. So she took a 30 min drive to get turned down. I’m not sure how the other locations are but this location has terrible lack of communication. It’s a shame too because the two classes she attended she really enjoyed.

I want to love this location, but there are definitely some issues that need to be looked into. First and foremost, communication is not there whether its via text, email, or phone call. Youll receive sporadic responses but, when you have questions youll be very lucky to receive a response (that might vary by your sales rep. that signs you up). Calling the main line to the gym isnt any better, whether you call during open hours, or close to the beginning or after a class session, no one answers the phone. Ive been here less than a week and Im discouraged by the lack of information Ive received.Second, I guess its imperative to sign up for classes youll attend (understandably due to covid) but, I was never informed of that upon signing up. Which left me with a 30 min. commute to and from (totaling an hour) just to be refused from attending a session. There is still questions I have, that have yet to be answered which leaves me in the unknown.Third, and most important they lock you in for a minimum of 2 months, so if you plan to leave you must let them know by the 30th day, and day 30 - 60 will be your last charge for the month before you can be contract free (totaling a must of 2 payments). Sadly, Im starting to regret having signed up. I really wanted to love this place; but, sadly Im just disappointed.The manager Huda (not sure if thats how you spell her name) the very few interactions with her have been great. She tries her best to be on top of her staff, sadly it doesnt seem the sales reps. strive for the same quality customer service. Thats where the main problem therein lies.Im rating at 3 stars due to the quality of classes, which are great. But, 2 star loss due to communication/ customer service through the sales reps. end due to lack of communication which is a HUGE factor in a business.

The staff is always friendly, helpful and pushes you to your goals in a gentle, non-aggressive and motivating way. The classes are fun and the instructors change up the routines so you are never doing the same thing over and over again, helping you to drop those digits! There are locker rooms and bathrooms on site but no showers. While your there buy yourself a little something fun in what I call the motivation shop.

This place is pretty awesome. The staff are friendly. I signed up about a month ago with a friend. Occasionally theyll host a Dj themed party. Check it out!

Such a high energy gym! Ive typically struggled with regularly going to a gym, but I Love Kickboxing keeps me coming back. Every time I go, the classes provide a much needed difficulty (and accountability). Definitely going to try to get my friends to join me.

I have been coming for about a month now and I absolutely love it and not to mention that Quinton is hands down the best coach ever🙌💙 I promise this is the best full body workout you will ever have.

The workout is so addictive!! I died the first 15min but being able to hit something after made it so worth it😛.Yohanna, and Quinton are amazing and will make sure you don’t give up, definitely something you should do if you want to release some stress.

Huda is the greatest! Go to her for any of your needs !!!

So Much Good Energy and vibes from Skokie ilks Studio😇💪🏾💪🏾

I have never sweated with a workout like a have at this place. It is cardio intense and I feel every single muscle in my body working with the warm-up, stretches and punch/kick sessions. I invested time and money in myself and I do not regret it.The place is very clean, the staff takes the time to explain the moves to each person during the class and verifies that you are doing them correctly. You work at your own pace and can take breaks whenever you want. They push you though with very kind words of encouragement.Quinton and Jovana are the staff members I have to thank. I really LOVE kickboxing.

The energy is so amazing, I usually have trouble working out, but being in a class definitely helped a lot.

I have been going to ILKB Skokie for a little over two years, consistently for at least one and a half. Its very apparent that the owners only intention is to make money. They will act and speak in a certain way to get you in but once youve signed up for a membership, youre as good as forgotten. There is no follow through with your progress. The classes are generic and do not have set goals (i.e. better form, improved speed, improved accuracy etc). The trainers, although a lot of them do well and are eager to work out with you, do not have adequate training. Im guessing none of them are even certified in any sort of athletic or sport training. Ive also seen two, maybe three injuries that happen and these trainers were at a loss on how to deal with it. Once, even the owner lady was there and she did NOT know what to do- I was glad that one of the members was a healthcare worker and was able to help.In a nutshell, they are out to get your money but couldnt care less about your program, your fitness, or your improvement. Ask around, the old members leave because theres no culture of care or follow through. Its always new people, which is what theyre good at getting but there is no staying power. Its sad because a good gym/business needs to know how to take care of its members and staff. I dont think they even are willing to pay for their staff to undergo trainings or whatnot, it all feels like theyre doing just enough to make it work. The staff wouldnt need to work so hard to market it if the members were happy because then they would spread the word and get more people in.Dont fall for the 6-week or 21-day challenges they do. Its all copied from a template somewhere and its definitely not customized per member. Like I said, theyre only good in the beginning--like a bad, toxic relationship. Get away, theres plenty of other options for physical fitness, ones that will actually give you your moneys worth.

They have free lockers that have dial combination on it. The front desk people are always super nice. Usually the locker room is clean.

I purchased the 5 classes for my daughter for her birthday and thought I would sign up too for the 5 classes. I wanted the Park Ridge location but for some reason got the Skokie location which is not convenient and took 35 minutes to get there. When I called to transfer to Park Ridge, I was told I had to call The Corporate office which I did and no one ever returned my call. So we decided to go to Skokie. The instructor Jeremy and assistant Joaquin were amazing. We had a great workout until the very end when we were given the opportunity to join the club. The manager/owner was very pushy and wasnt empathetic at all about the mix up between locations and the travel time When I explained the location mix-up, she asked if I left the correct phone number as if it was my fault that the corporate office had not returned my call. Then she said, we will see you both next week and she would give us a better deal on the membership. She made it seem as though we were not allowed back unless we purchased a membership. She needs to give people a chance to see how amazing her staff is. We probably would have joined even though it was far because the instructors were energetic, fun, and most of all encouraging. We decided not to return the following week because the manager was just too pushy. The sad part is that they have not called or emailed to find out why we havent returned. We lost out on 4 classes but obviously they dont care. Disappointed!!!

Just havent been able to find the time to attend classes regularly. I have been trying to cancel my month to month contract since Dec 13 of 2019. I have not received any response from the owner/billing department. I have sent the written request to cancel that was required and still have not received any response. Has anyone had this problem and were you able to resolve this issue? Thanks for any input or info.

The free 6 week challenge is complete false advertisement. I signed up for the challenge online after seeing an ad - Ive always wanted to try kickboxing, and the value sounded fantastic. I spoke to Quentin on the phone before my first appointment and specifically asked him to confirm that the 6 week challenge would be a FREE program without any financial/membership obligation. Quentin assured me it would be completely free, and justified that its still beneficial for them because theyd have the ability to use my transformation/success photos for publicity, and most people love the program so much they chose to become members after, etc. This all sounded good to me. When I got to my appointment, Quentin was there along with a women. She never formally introduced herself to me, so I dont know her name or if she is the manager/owner, but I assume she is. I stayed with Quentin while we went through about an hour long spiel. Everything was very personalized and got me super motivated. They measured my weight & BMI, we talked through my weightloss goals, and Quentin shared how they would help me achieve them. Everything sounded great until he began writing out my financial options... for the free program. They were asking for $500(!!) down, which I could earn back if I completed the 6 weeks and achieved my goals. $500. Five. Hundred. Dollars... for a free program. Im so disappointed that this was falsely advertised AND that I was intentionally mislead over the phone. I was really excited to join. Quentin seemed really sweet and the facility was nice. Quite honestly, if the free 6 week challenge was ACTUALLY free, and if it actually helped me achieve my goals as they promised, I would have HAPPILY paid afterwards to become a member. I am disappointed that it was a lie. If iLoveKickboxing actually stood behind this program, you wouldnt need false advertisement; it wouldve been worth it for you in exchange for a loyal member. Clearly they dont stand behind their value enough to be transparent and follow through with their advertising. Remember - if it seems too good to be true, it probably is! Bummer!**Update to reply to the owner: I have no problem with this program costing $499. My issue is being intentionally mislead, after I asked your employee more than once to clarify this program is free. If youd advertised the truth - that this is NOT a free program, rather, it costs $499 and members have the *opportunity* to earn it back *if* they meet very specific guidelines and standards - I wouldve paid for it! But I do not trust businesses that intentionally mislead and con people into joining with gigantic hidden fees. After this initial interaction I would not trust that your members actually have a fair shot at earning their money back either. Cannot be trusted.

Jeremie and all the instructors are amazing but I refuse to give my money to their pushy and aggressive manager anymore. If you’re trying to cancel your membership she makes it impossible.

I would give trainer Jeremy 5 stars, he is great but you cant ignore the terrible manager and other staff. The manager is very aggressive, and thats putting it nicely, she is pushy and rude.One time I showed up on my groupon and was yelled at (literally yelled to leave) because I didnt book in advance. As a customer i have never been spoken to with such disrespect. I would never give them any money if they think its okay to speak to people, let alone a paying customer in that way.Its also very expensive, about 150 per month, and a mandatory 12 month contract.

I joined this gym a while back. I LOVED it and the instructors. I bought a class pass for a lot of classes and was told they never expire and wasn’t sure if I would want a break or something different instead of committing to the membership. I had to stop for quite some time due to being pregnant, which I had notified them of, but wanted to finish paying for the classes so I would return when I could. I was told this was no problem. At some point with the last payments my credit card had expired, they contacts me and I remember giving them my new information on the phone. I found out today that never went through, my fault for assuming it did and not checking and following up on it I guess, but was never told otherwise. Anyway, I finally felt like physically I could return to use my classes ( I had 49 left). When I stopped in to resume and attend a class, the class had already begun as the website was never updated . But I was also told none of my classes would be honored that they had expired. And was only offered I could buy a new package the current “special” and I had to decide then and there . No thanks. I can only speak for how they were, but classes were great but the business could use some help.

The work it self was great, what honesty sucks is your first time there if you purchased a Groupon they ask for to to come in early and they process is so long I was there way passed the hour they said the class would take, them trying to get you to commit to a subscription and being super pushy that the deal is only for today, like wow I purchased 5 classes don’t make it so uncomfortable for people to enjoy the class without being pressured to become a member. Honestly took just one of my 5 classes I paid for because the service was just awful when it came to them to sale you a membership.

During the pandemic of COVID-19, I am shocked that I am still being charged for a membership even though there has been a stay at home order since March 2020. I have tried to contact the studio, and headquarters (who have repeatedly said to reach out to the Skokie studio) to cancel, suspend, or get a refund for the charges but I haven’t gotten any response. Other gyms/studios are closed and are not charging members, yet this one fails at communication and helping it’s clients out. This is ridiculous!

Ive been going to iLoveKickboxing for about 3 months now and I love everything about the experience. All the people in the Skokie gym are phenomenal--staff and members! Everyone is so encouraging and help me kick my fitness goals in the butt. The workouts are challenging but interesting and make me want to keep going back for more. Also, the gym itself is well maintained and I feel comfortable working out there! I highly recommend giving it a shot!

Absolutely love this place! Never before have I looked forward to workouts! The instructors are so friendly, encouraging and high energy. And all the members at this location are warm and welcoming. Strongly encourage anyone to come join the family!

Knew signing up months ago that I would enjoy this but NEVER imagined how much I would LOVE it!!! The workouts are INTENSE but they are a ton of fun. You can burn anywhere from 600-1000 calories and have fun while doing so. The trainers are truly the BEST. They genuinely enjoy what they do and it shows in the care they show to the members. I would definitely recommend ilovekickboxing Skokie to everyone.

I want to thank ILKB Skokie 6 week Transformation challenge for helping me lose 30lbs! I want to especially thank Grace Ilkb, Yohana Ilkb, Lisa Ilkb, and Quinton Ilkb Skokie for their classes and motivation and my best friend Senia Ramirez for getting me to sign up. This challenge has definitely helped pave a new lifestyle change for me and I appreciate you all. Thank You! 😊♥️

I love kickboxing. Love the work out every time I go in. Down 10 lbs and more to go. Love all my trainers ♡♡♡♡♡

Ive gained my confidence back and Im starting to see some serious results physically and mentally. I love attending classes; they push me harder than I thought I could be pushed and I leave excited to return! Seriously looking forward to their phase three roll out when there will be more morning classes! Not only do the instructors push you but they also care about you, know your name, and are excited to see you every class! The added bonus of having a VIP Facebook group also continues to keep you motivated even outside of class! I love love love I love kickboxing!!

Such a fun and engaging workout and Quinton is awesome with helping you get started!

I have been repeatedly trying to cancel my membership. I went into the studio, they told me to send an email. I have emailed multiple times with no response. I have called and no answer. Opting out of a membership shouldn’t be this difficult.Update:I have continued to send numerous emails, messaged their Facebook account, called, left voicemails, sent texts, and no response. And they proceeded to charge me for another months membership.

If you want an intense workout....u NEED to check this place out. Love all the instructors! 👍🏼

The best place to get a great workout. The staff is amazing. Thank you guys for the best workout of my life.

Way to screw over young and naive teens into signing a year long commitment and claiming businesses no longer provide copies of contracts. $199/month is ridiculous. I’ll change my review when you stop giving people the run around when trying to cancel. - A former, HONEST, gym owner and angry parent.

Let me just say this place is awesome! The instructors are so fun and genuinely care about their members. They challenge you to do your best at your own pace and I cant forget its a GREAT stress reliever.At first you may be nervous, but everyone becomes your friend and you fall in love with kickboxing! I know I did!! I became a 1yr member on my first day and its sooooo worth it!

I love going to the classes. The instructors treats everyone like family and theyre just great and kind people. Going to the classes helped me lose weight also ☆.

I love ILKB because of the awesome trainers and the really fun, challenging work out! Ive challenged myself and gotten much stronger and leaner, with better muscle definition. Better than any work out I have ever done! Not only have I noticed a difference- but so have other people as well! The best stress reliever I have ever had! I would highly recomend it to anyone ! I have got my whole family signed up.

Started with ilovekickboxing about a month ago and all i can truly say is, I LOVE IT.. it is definitely hard work, but all of the instructors and trainers are great and motivate you every step of the way. I can feel myself getting stronger with each workout. I was working out with a personal trainer before starting here and i can tell you, i burn more calories here then i did with my trainer. i definitely recommend ilovekickboxing Skokie to everyone..

The staff was shocked when I told them what exactly I was doing there. Updating Google Maps. They were shocked and welcomed me with open arms

Fun and motivating workouts everyday!! Love the staff and members! Completely addicted to the workout and energy! The Skokie location is great!!!!

I love ILkb! They have awesome trainers that are very motivating. The people who attend are awesome too and it is a fitfamily type of vibe!🤘🏻💪🏻👊🏻❤️

The most fun way to do cardio. Love it

Everyone is so motivating in class. The trainers Blake, Jeremie, Kai, and Lovely are one of the reasons why I love ILoveKickboxing-Skokie. They push me to be stronger. ILovekickboxing-Skokie change my life. It’s a friendly environment. I can be myself with no judgement. I recommend Ilovekickboxing-Skokie to everyone !

This is the place to come and get an amazing workout. Amazing staff, that make you feel like family.

So much fun! The instructors are very knowledgeable.

Awesome workouts

Been losing inches off my waist and been having a lot of fun

Don’t get me wrong, I do like the workout. However, this location’s practices leave much to be desired. 1) The instructors are friendly, but chat too much with the members and have started class late many times during my 10-groupon session period. 2) The instructors focus too much on the music they play, and as a result, they are busy at the front desk or on their phones selecting songs during the actual workout and aren’t on the mat critiquing our forms. 3) When you buy a Groupon, they instruct you to come 15 min before the class starts each time, so they don’t forget to sign you in. This cracks me up, because 3/10 times, I showed up at 5:30 AM and the instructors were late (meaning they showed up at 5:40-5:43 AM for the 5:45 AM class) and once they never even showed up. In addition, it should be their responsibility to make sure everyone is checked in. Instead, when I call to make sure I can sign up for a class, the person at the front desk would tell me to make sure the instructor signs me in. LOL! 4) Finally, they would send me automatic text messages for my next class. This is perfectly fine, except some of the messages would come to me after the class was finished. For example, if I signed up for the 5:45 AM class, I’d get one text message the night before and another one at 8:30 AM the next day!

I started going to ILKB skokie about two months ago! I have learned so much and can feel my body changing every time I go. The staff is so supportive and will help you get through the workout with encouragement and a smile! I think everyone should try kickboxing and ILKB skokie is the best place to go!!

Quick and great workout at your own pace.

ILKB in Skokie is awesome! I registered online for my free 3 classes back in November 2016. Along with free classes, you will receive free boxing gloves. My first class was very tough & tiring but I loved how I felt afterwards. So I decided to become a member. Every time I attend class I sweat (its extreme sweat at times) and burn tons of calories. I had some ache & pains in my neck & lower back. Since I have been kickboxing the ache & pains slowly went away. I like reading the health & fitness articles instructors post through Facebook. You dont need to have experience in kick boxing to attend a class. The instructors teach you every step of the way. Dont be intimidated! Check it out!!!

I picked up a 5 class Groupon Coupon at ILKB Skokie thinking, Oh, 5 classes, maybe I can do that. Never would have thought, that I would walk in, die in the first 15 minutes, yell, swear, scream and absolutely LOVE IT!!!I am not an active person, I am not too enthusiastic about exercise or eating healthy, hell I am not even someone who would run if my life depended on it but there was something about Kickboxing that stuck.I have never been so happy with an impromptu decision I made someday; ILKB Skokie has changed my life for the better.Its not a workout anymore, it feels like life. I have to do this, its an addiction. It keeps me going. I have so much energy and I have so much fun while my ass is being kicked in class. And to top it up, I have had the pleasure of meeting some amazing human beings. So fulfilling in every way.All I have to say is ILKB SKOKIE, YOU ROCK and YOU KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS.I couldnt thank my instructors Jasmine, Jessica, Amber, Jeremy, Travis and Zack (Owner) more, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

I have been trying to live a better lifestyle for over a year now. I joined Planet fitness and worked out about 2-3 times a week there. I saw small results, but still felt like it wasnt enough. I began losing interest in working out and finally learned I didnt know how to properly work out. After passing by Ilovekickboxing Skokie every day on my way to work, I finally decided to buy a 10 class pass and fell in love after my first class! The hour goes by SOOO fast and you have so much fun. The instructors make you feel so good about yourself and everyone is so friendly!

Im so glad I came upon ilovekickboxing in Skokie as I was driving. I have been feeling very lethargic and weak in the last few months. I have tried crossfit a couple of years ago and I actually liked it, but I got bored and quit. I wanted something new so I purchased a Groupon for ILKBSK. Best decision ever! After my first class I signed up for the unlimited membership - thats how drawn in I was. The facility is clean and the instructors are unbelievable. They make you feel like a friend, they call you by name and they talk to you! Always a welcoming smile when you walk in for your class. Ive never felt intimidated nor unwelcome when Im there. They help you set a realistic goal and walk you through it every step of the way. Thanks for helping me develop a better version of me!

I loved my first class!! made me miss my childhood workouts!

ILKB-such an appropriate name. I didnt know what to expect when I went for my first class. I hadnt exercised regularly (really not at all) in about 5 years and had two kids within the last three years, so my body was TIRED, in every meaning of the word. I also had never done kickboxing before so saying I was super nervous is an understatement. Trainers Amber and Jessica were immediately welcoming and reassuring. We sat and talked before class, we talked about me as a person as well as my fitness goals.The class kicked my butt, I mean it KICKED MY BUTT! But it was soooo fun--high energy, challenging, and so worth it! I am now a member of ILKB-Skokie, I joined that first day! I knew this was NOT an ordinary gym; see I am not a gym person, even when I was very active, I was into running outside in the fresh air. Ive had numerous gym memberships but it always felt stuffy and sometimes intimating. So I would just be paying for the idea of gyms because Id literally never go. ILKB had a different vibe. You dont feel like youre at a gym, you are a part of a fit fam, all at different experience levels, all with different goals...and we support each other! And going MIA, thats not allowed! The first time I missed my first week of classes, Amber was calling to check in. They dont stalk you or anything but they do hold you accountable (if you want it) and I appreciate that.ILKB-Skokie is the best! I highly recommend giving it a try!

Love the staff and the help they give.

Awesome instructors
