For the past several years, my weight loss plan has consisted of wishing I were 20 pounds lighter whenever the clock hits 11:11 (spoiler alert: this DOES NOT work.) So, this year, I decided to try something different, and I signed myself up for some kickboxing classes at ILKB. Now, anybody who knows me knows me knows that if I'm running, you sure as hell better be running too - 'cause something is chasing us. I have always hated to work out, but sliding into my 50s with 30 extra pounds? Nah. I don't like that. But I'm a busy chick, so if I'm going to work out, I want maximum bang for my hard-earned buck. So.. it's hard work! Ten minutes in and you'll be sweating like 1985 Bret Michaels in a Poison video and praying you'll live. But just when you're looking for the exit and ready to give up, one of the instructors will give you that *one little push* you need to keep going, and you'll find that you actually CAN keep going. The camaraderie is great - you can always find a friendly neighbor to help you with questions, and the instructors are skilled, thorough and energetic. They demonstrate each sequence a few times, and then all the instructors circle through the class to give you more detailed pointers. The music is a huge motivator (esp. the Cypress Hill, just sayin') and the energy is beyond compare. You just don't get that walking all lazy on the treadmill while watching "Jeopardy!" at the local gym. The first time I went - I thought for sure they were trying to kill me. The fourth time I went - I was jealous of the people leaving when I got there, because they were already done their workout. The eighth time I went, I was jealous of the people getting there when I was done, because they were just about to start their workout. If you're on the fence? Just do it (sorry Nike.) That push may be all you need to learn what you can REALLY do. Folks in the classes are all ages, shapes and sizes and I swear, girlfriend, if I can do it, you can too. PS: Do not mess with women in York. They can roundhouse your ass in an instant. Trust me on this. read more

There is not just one good thing I can say about coming to I Love Kickboxing. I've probably joined every gym at one point or another since I moved to York 14 years ago and I'm good for a few weeks then I ultimately fail because there was nothing motivating me to keep going and I would slide back to my old habits pretty quick. At ILKB, I found people just like me most of us have tried and failed too many times to count. But it is different here. First of all the staff know you, they know your name and greet you with such enthusiasm you immediately feel like you are part of something pretty special and that goes a very long way to keep you coming back. But what truly is motivating me and makes me keep coming back are the others like me on a journey to health and wellness their smiles, encouragement, high fives and just the team atmosphere are something pretty special that I have found nowhere else. They make it so easy to try and once you do you'll be hooked! read more

I joined after my first trial membership class. The energy and support are like nothing I have experienced in my many gym memberships. I have met some amazing people and formed bonds outside of the studio. Those bonds have now turned into a monthly girl's night out. (Feel free to join us!) I absolutely love that the trainers aren't afraid to push you but at the same time respect your boundaries. If you are missing class, they are making personal contact to make sure everything is okay. I had a death in the family, and I received a sympathy card. That has NEVER happened from any other gym. I really can't express how happy I am these folks came to York and hired the best! Looking forward to my remaining 10 months on this current membership! This isn't just another gym or another workout, and you will feel the difference in the first 5 minutes on the mat. read more

I joined ilovekickboxing york pa two months ago, after my 2nd trial class. I had only ever done Tae Bo in my own home in the 90s. I didn't know what to expect at all from Ilovekickboxing. I'm hooked. There are multiple class times 6 days a week. The instructors all know me by name and greet me enthusiastically every time I walk through the door. Every instructor is different and it keeps things from getting boring. Lou is my favorite, but seriously they are all so incrdible. I'm working the workouts and I'm seeing incredible changes. I'm so happy that ilovekickboxing is in our town. It really is worth the investment. ~ Dani S. read more

ILoveKickboxing in York has changed me for the better! I never worked out before and, due to medical issues, I was extremely weak. It's only been two weeks and I already feel a huge difference.

The combination of the unique and varying classes, the encouraging and patient instructors, and my awesome classmates who cheer me on every day make me want to come back every day!
