Such an amazing workout! I had a great time at Friends & Family Night. The trainers are friendly and knowledgeable and push you in a positive, helpful way. On F&F Night, they provide gloves for you to use and you get a water (which I definitely needed!) I like that the music is loud and everyone was friendly. If you're looking to push yourself and get a good workout, check it out! My arms feel like Jell-O, haha! read more

iLoveKickboxing- Brookfield - Kickboxing Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

I was told about this place from my friend Nicole. She said she purchased an online deal, but I decided to go through Yelp. I purchased 5 classes for 29.99. If you sign up for class, tell them Megan Lamb sent you! ;) So, the process is such that, you can't just show up for your first class. You have to call and schedule an intake/one-on-one sort of thing. Sometimes they are booked out, but I was able to get my one-on-on within a week. Okay, so they're supposed to call you a day before to remind you of your workout and tell you to come a half hour earlier. This didn't happen so I showed up late. They were friendly and accommodating about it. So, when you come in a half hour early, they sit with you and talk to you about your goals. Then you workout with the class who has a main instructor, but you're also with a personal instructor. This instructor focuses on you so that you can learn the techniques and they can answer questions. After the workout, they sit you down to see how you like it and discuss the cost of the membership. I'm not going to lie, it's steep. However they sort of tack on an extra month, plus classes are unlimited, as well as a few other small perks like special classes and free gloves. You either can afford it or you can't, but honestly? If you go to class, it's worth it. They add you to their Facebook group to introduce you to everyone. This is also how they try to maintain a family/community feel. You can either choose to participate or not. I keep up with it because they'll have announcements and reminders, so it's a good group to be a part of. It's also good for accountability reasons. Everyone is super supportive, encouraging and helpful. What I like? The atmosphere is friendly, welcoming and motivating. The workout itself is extremely challenging, but it's for all age groups, shapes and sizes. Every type of person is there and there are always new people. You can tell that there are cliques; obviously there are people who are friends and/or who have been going a while. They try to make it feel like a family. And if you go regularly enough, you start to feel apart of it all. I've never felt left out. The music is fun to workout to. You can tell they put time into making playlists that will motivate you. This is important because music matters. Especially when you hate your life like I do during the warm-up. Classes are an hour long and they kick your butt. This is a lot like a boot camp class, but for me, way more fun. I mean, come on, who doesn't want to punch some bags?! It's a great, stress relieving workout. Since I have started, they have added more classes, especially in the morning. I don't have a problem with the schedule because there's always a class that I am able to attend. This has been the only thing that has gotten me motivated lately. I think anyone could benefit from this type of workout. It's seriously badass and a confidence/self esteem booster. Cons for me? Partner work is my least favorite part of the class because I am ridiculously uncoordinated, however it still can be fun. I mostly just feel bad for my partner for being so terrible. Also, knowing your left from right is hard! Staff are friendly and out-going. Members are nice. Studio is clean, as well as the bathroom facilities. There's a parking lot with plenty of space; it's right next to Kohl's. What are you waiting for? And what do you have to lose?! Go give it a try! read more

iLoveKickboxing- Brookfield - Women's locker room - Kickboxing Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

ILoveKickboxing has been exactly what I've been looking for on my fitness journey for years. It has helped me gain confidence, strength and accomplish small goals that I've never achieved before. The staff is amazing. They greet everyone by name, help with modifications when needed and push you when they know you can go further. I hate when I'm out of town or my mom gig gets in the way of my attending class. The workout consists of 15 minutes of hell...I mean HIIT training where you will want to die (but never do) followed by bag rounds, partner round and a little more conditioning just to make sure you're shaking enough. There are two rounds of stretching. There is free water available for a small price of checking in with the monthly hash tag on FB or instagram. It is expensive. But it's a worthwhile investment in yourself. And if you put the work in, you WILL see and feel the results. I am amazed by the members (fitfam) every time I go. It has been awesome to watch everyone grow and get stronger since I joined in April. read more

I have belonged to thos gym for 18 months now, and the staff & clients are so welcoming, it's like having a whole second family at the gym. All fitness levels are welcome & they will help you make modifications while encouraging you to try what you THINK you cannot do! Try it out, what do you have to lose?!? read more

I saw a web special for 5 classes and gloves and decided to give it a try. The staff is very upbeat and positive. They do yell (which normally does not work for me!) but it is all positive encouragement which is great. There are lots of bags, also a plus, and most are in good shape. The staff is willing to help or leave alone as much as you want and need during class. I have to admit that the actual hitting the bag portion consists of complicated multi-step combinations, which I am terrible at. But the instructors are encouraging and provide extra help, or just let me hit the bag in whichever weird combo I come up with in my efforts to match their combination. Taneal told me as long as I was hitting the bag, she is happy. Very friendly and encouraging atmosphere, and the facebook group is very active. Things that need improvement: There is no water fountain, and there are no showers. I highly recommend a second water bottle in the car for when you get out. One thing I do not like is that all moves are done left-foot forward (a debate in the boxing vs. cardio kickbox world), and I definitely have to switch, so I try to self count and flip the moves to the other side half way through. Not everyone has this OCD issue (and I'm not being insensitive, I really have it), but the instructors let me do it without complaint. read more

I love kickboxing. It's an amazing workout and I feel great. I don't like going to a gym and wondering aimlessly around trying to figure out what I should work on or get discouraged because the machine(s) I wanted to use are taken. I love that I get an amazing workout in an hour and I'm done for the day. The staff at ILKB is awesome, helpful and so motivating. No matter what your fitness level is, the staff works with you to help and offers suggestions or modifications to exercises but they will also push you to do better. You won't be disappointed if you try it!! Kim D read more

If you're tired of the same gym routine, this program is for you! The staff is amazing and the facilities are always clean.

I joined ilovekickboxing Brookfield a few months ago and am so happy with the decision! The work outs are great and always different. The staff is incredible and make everyone feel welcome. It's a great community of people with a staff that gets to know everyone individually to meet their fitness goals! read more

I purchased one of their web special and called to come in. I've had tons of previous kickboxing experience but they still insisted I come in with a coach. Took about 3 weeks to get me in. Was told I would get a reminder phone call -- did not happen. Once I was there filled out paperwork and got set up. My coach was really cool. Hit it off well. After felt very pressured to sign up for a membership that has a contract and a steep dollar amount attached to it. I was told if I did not sign up for the membership I would have to make appointments with the coach to utilize the rest of my sessions I already purchased. I signed up for the membership. The next time I went in my coach looked at me confused (clearly did not remember me) like she knew me but didn't know from where. I asked someone to help me with wrapping my wrists and it seemed like a huge inconvenience. ... The work out is great, however the "trainers" do not work on form. In addition the workout is very one sided. They have you do a set with one side and do not complete the set to even out the other side. I was lucky enough to have great previous experience to know to switch things up and have correct form, but if you do not have this knowledge good luck. Another strike is the limited class schedule. I work 2nd shift. Morning classes are extremely limited maybe 1 or 2 in the morning and 2-3 at night. And I do believe Monday's and Wednesday's they did not even have morning classes! I was told upon signing up that they are training and working on expanding the class schedule. And after bringing it to their attention again they said they are training and within the month they will have more availability. I did not see that happen... From my observations the coaches seem to have favorites that they talk to and bond with. If you are not with the 'in crowd' the experience may not be the most welcoming. For example -- at the end of the work out they have you stand in 2 lines partner up and do small workouts. There was an uneven number of us so I was left out. I don't mind working on a bag .... BUT there were 3 instructors there that specific day. And instead of working with me they worked with one another! The times that I went I did get a really great workout but felt extremely unwelcome. Maybe it's because my previous kickboxing families were just that ... Family. Maybe work on bettering your customer service. Especially when the customer is paying what they were paying. Sorry to say but this is a huge thumbs down for me. read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Love this place. The staff is incredibly welcoming and nice. They're encouraging, and never make you feel out of place. I was worried about going to a new place alone, but even the people who attend this gym are really great and warm. Ive never been made to feel like I'm an inconvenience for being a beginner. First day i went in i was paired with a private instructor to help me out with my form and so i wasnt lost on what was happening. I truly appreciated that! AFter your first class you get added to a private facebook group. Its interactive and the instructors are on the page daily posting fitness tips, motivating people to get into class that day, and also fun interactive posts. You truely start to feel like you part of a family. Now the work out... my god. Ive done gym workouts on my own, boot camp, yoga, hot yoga, barre. You name it. This place gives me by far the BEST workout ive ever had. Its incredible. You get your ass kicked but its FUN. And you feel amazing afterwards. I actually look foward to working out for the first time ever. And i get excited to go in and see everyone! I highly highly suggest this place! My wedding bod will be golden in no time ;) I also have to add that the facility is CLEAN. I mean.. "i would have no idea people worked out and sweat in this plae because it smells so good" clean. Their restrooms are constantly clean and stocked. LOVE. read more

I found a Groupon for ILKB that I couldn't afford NOT to grab... Immediately after taking my first class, I signed up for a year's membership! I've tried many different gyms and different 'at-home' workout programs, and not one of them compares to the intense workouts and incredibly supportive atmosphere that ILKB has to offer. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, it's nothing but encouragement from other members and the fantastic staff of instructors. ILKB will give you one of the greatest workouts of your life and offer you an amazing form of stress-relief that'll keep you coming back for more. If you're looking for a workout that'll leave you dripping sweat within the first 15 minutes that's not only challenging but also incredibly fun... THIS IS IT! read more

I love it here!! The staff and other members are encouraging and welcoming . The work out is tough but fun!! I have only been to a few classes but I can see this being a workout that I can continue to do and not get bored of. Plus it is a big plus being able to hit the bags after a stressful day-great way to release any built up anger :) read more

I signed up for I love kickboxing after a referral from a friend and I am sure glad i did. Everyone from staff to fellow kickboxers are friendly and extremely helpful. They make you feel right at home! I have decided to take the jump and become a member and that decision was made from my first class with Brandon as my first day instructor. We talked about my goals and he made me feel like I could obtain anything I put my mind too. Since my first day each and everyone of the trainers have made me feel welcome and I couldn't be anymore excited about what the future holds. read more

Can't say enough about the enthusiastic, encouraging, motivating staff and fellow members at ILKB! I started with a special deal for a few classes to give it a try but I liked it so much I actually joined! I also work out at another gym but this one pushed me harder than I do when working out alone. read more

Best workout ever! The facility is awesome as well as the instructors. If you are serious about fitness, health and overall wellness this is the place for you!! read more

This is THE place for an intense workout if you're not motivated!!!! I am a runner who is burned out. I needed to keep moving. My girlfriend kept telling about iLoveKickboxing and all her posts on Facebook about it.I signed up with a coupon, but after my first class, I became a member!!! The instructors are fabulous; encouraging you all the way., They make you feel like part of their family! If you want to try a place that will get you results fast, go to iLoveKickboxing in Brookfield!! read more

I recently moved to the area from Los Angeles after having a baby. I really wanted to lose the baby weight right away, but I just couldn't find the motivation to workout between the sleep deprivation and having a tiny milksucker attached to me what felt like 24/7. I saw a special on groupon for ilovekickboxing and thought I would give it a try, and I'm sooo glad I did! I used up my groupon and have since become a member! This workout seriously kicks my butt; I love it! I came into my first class thinking that I was in fairly good shape (despite just having a baby)... by the end of class I realized I have a long way to go. But that's OK! These classes work for people on all ranges of the fitness spectrum because you can kind of go at your own pace, but at the same time the instructors are all really encouraging and help to push you to your limit. Initially I had trouble with the combinations because I'm kind of uncoordinated, but if you just keep coming to class you will catch on! The instructors are all super nice and friendly! They yell at you during class, but the yelling makes you work harder and pushes you. Also there is just a really friendly environment at this gym. You meet people during class and there is a facebook group that keeps you accountable. Being new to town this is a great way to meet people and shed that pesky baby weight! This is a really great way to get an amazing workout it, feel good about yourself, and meet people! It's just 1 hour per day and you definitely see results! read more

I originally signed up thru a Facebook Web Special that promoted free gloves and figured I'd give it a try. I had always heard what a great workout kick boxing was. I was more than impressed with the staff and the workout after my first class. The initial one on one class was great; I didn't feel lost like I thought I would. I loved the workout so much that I signed up for a membership that night. I love how friendly and encouraging everyone is. They really hold you accountable by checking in with you when you haven't made it to class in awhile. A really great place to workout! read more

I caught the best deal coming in for my first 3 classes by only paying $10 and receiving a free pair of boxing gloves! After just one class, I was hooked. I dreaded coming in to work out; however, after my first class I craved the energy, comradery, and passion that each class brings. I hate the first 15 minutes of class while I'm doing it. But once it's over I want to hug my instructor for pushing me harder than I could have pushed myself in another gym working out by myself. Bag rounds also provide a great way to relieve my stress and aggressions from the day, while providing a kickass workout. Instructors go over the sequence of kicks/ punches multiple times with tips and reminders for good form. They even walk around and watch you to ensure correct form is practiced. I have not only gained a great way to work out but also a fitfamily through ILKBBrookfield. They rock! Come join the fun!! Tell them B. Johnson sent you! read more

It's about the Money NOT YOU. I am so disappointed. I have been a member of iLovekickboxing for a year come April 10th. I earned a free month with them from having a friend join. Saturday March 23rd I got injured while working out. I had this sharp pain that suddenly hit my lower back and realized I needed to leave and take care of myself. While I was getting my stuff together one of the trainers started yelling at me to get back out there. I told her if I did they would be calling 911 and carting me out. She just gave me a look and turned away rather than come over to see what was wrong. The pain got worse as the days went on and Tuesday it was so severe I got in to see a chiropractor. My L5 popped out. I have been getting care and will have to continue to get care for serval months. I'm disappointed because No One has contacted me to see if I am doing OK and it's been a week now. Also today I went in to ask if I could hold my free one month until I can come back and workout. They said No. I paid $1450 for a year membership. The only thing I expected to get for that money was a great workout. I did, however have realized no one should ever get a year membership. That was all I was doing and lost a lot of muscle tone. Also when you break down how many times you will actually go you will find yourself spending a lot per class. I will Not say anything bad in regards to the workouts as I really enjoyed it and will continue somewhere else. It's just truly disappointing to be a member of an establishment for a year and you think you have formed some kind of bond when in fact you are only $$$ to them :-( I will Not return. They have shown their true colors for Not caring about their clients and having a lack of compassion. read more

Great atmosphere, instructors are amazing. Made me feel very welcome on my first day. Other members were friendly and facility was spotless. Can't wait for my next class! read more

Unlike Jess below where she claims to have 'a ton of kickboxing experience' yet needed help putting on her hand wraps, I have actual real life kickboxing experience where I fought in the International Kickboxing Federation(IKF) and the Thai Boxing Association (TBA) for over a decade and was one of the finalists in the world championships. I was also a kickboxing instructor for 9round. If a person claims to have 'a ton' of experience yet cannot put on their own hand wraps by themselves...don't believe them. From the aforementioned experience, I have since retired from that life style. But because I still have the urge, so I joined ILoveKickboxing in Brookfield because I wanted to stay in shape. While it is true that they instructors are not completely focused on perfecting your technique, you are also not being trained to step into ring to compete. They do correct your technique to ensure you won't hurt yourself. I purchased a web special and gave it shot. The first class you are working with the class along side with an instructor, there are some moves that they have unique names for: Hallow hold for one, that the instructor will demonstrate and is by your side doing too. If any one technique is too advanced, they will either take it step by step or give you an alternative movement to best fit your ability. Unlike Jess, I got a reminder phone call. When I told them of my experience, they said I have way more experience than most people in there but just for safety and make sure they can explain the different techniques, they do require an instructor to be there on your first day. Once I scheduled my first class(about a week out), I came in and have the time of my life with this 5' nothing beast of a woman named Quan. She is so awesome. The instructors do yell, but it is very positive reinforcement. They yell to cheer you on. The music is loud but enjoyable. By the end of the hour, you are exhausted, sweaty, but happy. The instructor you were working with will now come and talk to you about joining. The prices really come out to about $10/class. For a lot of one on one training, it's worth it. Once you join, if you have facebook, you get an invite to join the private fb site for members of the Brookfield area. There they post inspirational quotes, memes, and health tips. For me, it is a great work out, a great way to break up the monotony of the daily grind, and a great way to meet and talk to new friends. Like anything, if you come in with a crappy attitude, you will think poorly of it. If you come in with a great mind, you will feel great and most likely join. From me to you, if you have a great attitude and wanna be friends, join and I'll work out with you. I'm the 'woo-hoo' guy. Trust me...you will hear me. read more

I've always wanted to try kickboxing so when I saw the Groupon to try it out AND get free gloves it was a no-brainer! My friend signed up with me and our first few classes were so fun! I learned I was capable of more than I thought, that I'm really good at punching and kicking things and I get to work out and learn to defend myself whule having fun! The place is clean, the staff is friendly and energetic and they make a point to get to know you and help you with your goals or techniques. Long term, it is a pricey bill but it is for your health and that's priceless. Only downside for me is I wish they had more class times on the days I'm off work. read more
