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!

I've been to this Tuluka Fitness 3 times to work out since finding it on ClassPass. The drop in…read moreclasses on ClassPass cost fewer credits than a lot of other gyms, so it was easy to decide to try it out. (I think the memberships cost over $200 a month even with new member promotions, so you have to really like the gym and really have the money to spend in order to get yourself a membership.) There is a parking lot behind the gym and a garage across the street where you can park if it's full. The selling point on the workouts here is that you can choose to work upper or lower body in one of the sections, kind of like a choose your own sweaty adventure. You start with a warmup, do the upper or lower body sub workout, do an abs sub workout, then do the workout of the day (WOD). That last part may remind you of Crossfit workouts, and their workouts indeed have Crossfit elements to them. The workout of the day includes a set of cardio with your choice of runs on the treadmill, pull downs on the ski erg, cycling on the assault bike or ergs on the rower. We did box jumps the first time I worked out here, but the trainer always asks you to let them know if you have any injuries or concerns with any of the movements and they can modify for you. I waited to go a couple more times after my first workout because I went through that first one largely annoyed. The trainer spoke Spanish for the majority of the time and lost any pleasantry when she turned to speak to me for corrections or the equipment to use. While a little kudos here and there would be motivating, she had little energy and said nothing encouraging. It felt like a cluster for a moment because there were 10 people (for a 6 AM workout) needing to use the same equipment for the WOD (like the boxes), so we needed to start the round at different sets. The other aspect of the workouts that reminds me of Crossfit is that the rounds can be repetitive, especially because you have to count reps constantly. Each sub workout consists of 3 rounds. The last time I went a few days ago, the trainer (a new one for me) told us to do each set within the sub workout 3 times before moving onto the next set, instead of doing each kind of set once and going through them 3 times. Either way, it's on you to count how many reps you do and and keep track of how many sets and rounds you've done and finish them within the allotted time (usually 10-12 minutes). The trainer leads you through a stretch at the end to cool down. What's great and torturous about the workouts is that they will take an hour from start to stretching finish. While many other studios and workouts promise a certain time like 45 or 50 minutes, I find myself sometimes coming out of the studio earlier than that time frame. You know you'll get the most out of the time you spend at this gym. It's a bonus that they lend towels to use during the workouts, because you will need one!

They are more interested in you signing a waiver than explaining their weird split bootcamp/crossfit class. The trainer was like a sad substitute teacher. I give this place a few months before shuttering. Major changes needed in class dynamic and instructor choices. Avoid at all costs (even when it's free).

Training Pit has done a great job at creating a tiered "Walk, Crawl, Run" program through their boot camp and CrossFit programs and is a perfect option for those considering CrossFit for the first time. I think there's probably room for improvement, but I'm not the professional and if I wanted to workout using my own program I'd go back to Equinox. The only thing I don't like here is the parking situation, but I'm not sure how that can get fixed. I trust the program and I "trust the process" at this gym.

Whenever I have thought I couldn't push myself passed my exhaustion, coach Javiel has shown patience and given me the extra push to power through. Definitely would recommend to anyone regardless of where your fitness level is currently, you will see results and have a blast.
