Ok so on vacation I need a work out too. I came in meet the owner the night before and was brought…read morehere. He was really nice and gave me a good price on the 7 days I'm in town. Coming from a big city my gym is huge and no one really cares and its pack and tons of machines. This is the complete opposite which I totally love. Talking to people here it is like family, everyone know each other and everyone is there to work out not flirt like other locations I have been to. There are a number of people that are more then happy to help you out if you ask. This is a great location and I love it for sure. The owner is also a former Kick Boxer and at the look of him he works out a lot and when someone told me his age I was in complete shock. IT you want a real good work out and a nice location this is the spot for sure. I will continue to come to this location when I come back to Canada everytime.

There are also lots of high quality Fairtex equipment (thai pads etc). The gym is very clean. The people here are very nice, no egos. There is street parking on the side streets.

Found a Groupon for 10 classes to try this place out and here's my review:…read morePRO: totally works, its fun, if you have tried kickboxing you will love this place. if you have tried bootcamp its pretty much like bootcamp with kickboxing. You will SWEAT. Pretty intense workout, it is hard at first but you will get used to it. Great friendly staff. They will assist you if you need help with combos etc. CON: Booking, booking, booking. I mean I understand that there are limited punching bags and they want to accommodate people but its not a come as you go place. You MUST book in advance however, you can only book 1 class at a time. You cannot book several classes in advance. You can only CALL them to book as for some reason they dont take bookings via email. So if you're the type that like to schedule and plan in advance this may not be the most flexible for you. Otherwise if you dont mind it then you should totally try this place. Membership is pretty pricey $100+ a month if your new, I dont know if it goes lower if you're a longer member.

I hate gyms. I can't stare off into space and mindlessly run on a treadmill. I need to be engaged,…read morephysically and mentally. Discovering kickboxing was a game changer for me. I loved it from my very first class - I was SO far out of my comfort zone and way beyond my fitness level, and every inch of my body hurt; but I loved it, and was so excited when ILKB opened in my neighborhood. The space is great, plenty of room to move around and really get into your groove. There are classes 7 days a week, and a membership means you can go to as many as you want, without having to pre-book. I never know when I will get out of the office, so really appreciate the flexibility and timing of the classes. While the classes are all structured the same, each one varies, so you don't get bored or stuck in the same old boring routine. You will SWEAT. You may wonder, mid-way through the warm up, if you will even make it to the bag rounds, but you WILL make it and that feeling of accomplishment will bring you back time and time again. The staff and members are motivating and encouraging and there is a sense of community, which is a nice touch. Oh, and once a month, there is a DJ night, I mean, come one, does your old gym have a DJ? No? Then you're at the wrong gym.

During my last class, the instructor and owner spent a significant portion of class time discussing…read morehis personal life -- specifically, a family situation involving his goddaughter's relationship -- rather than focusing on instruction. At one point he physically hit me with frustration about it, which felt inappropriate and uncomfortable. At the end of class, he made a comment about Valentine's Day that included language stereotyping single women. I calmly suggested he consider different wording. His response was defensive and loud -- he raised his voice in front of other students, repeatedly told me not to "accuse" him, and pointed to a pride flag on the wall as evidence of his character. I stayed calm throughout and clarified I wasn't accusing him of anything. The interaction ended without resolution. I left feeling shaken. We crossed paths several times afterward and he never acknowledged what happened. I found the experience to be unprofessional and, frankly, distressing -- particularly because I had chosen this class as a safe, welcoming space.

I had trouble scheduling the first one as they don't take online reservation. I had to call, leave a message, and wait for a call back. But once in touch, Olivia was nice and helpful. Also, they charged me $19.99 initially but gave me the difference back when I saw their subsequent promotional price. I also got a pair of gloves for free! This is pretty cool. First class was with regular class but they give additional one on one coaching. Second class you join the rest of the group. I am terrible with cardio and core, so the beginning 15min cardio was too much for me. However, the kickboxing part was fun. They try to sell you packages on the first day, which they offer additional discount. I still find it too expensive for me who only wants to work out once a week. It's probably ok for others if you go multiple times a week. Overall the place is clean, people are friendly, but really depends if you like their style of kickboxing.

The person at the front asked me my name, checked me in and let me go get changed after telling him that it was only my second time. He didn't mention anything about the class already starting. Completely wasted my time changing and getting on the matt just to be told I can't actually join the class. Terrible service, considering I have 2 text messages confirming my booked class for 6:30 when the class was actually at 6:15. The staff didn't even try to accommodate or find a solution to their mistake. Overall terrible experience. If you're looking for an actual kickboxing gym, 10/10 do not recommend this one. You spend 70% of the time either stretching or warming up and the instructors are not very experienced with kickboxing. There's no sparring, just punching bags and beginner level stuff.

The kids program is the best run BJJ class anywhere in the lower mainland and quite possibly across Canada. Students are drilled with the basics until they are become second nature and executed without any flaw. The program is instructed in a manner to allow the every child to understand the philosophy of various techniques in a manner that relates to their language and comprehension.
