By far, my favorite workout. Originally found this place through Groupon(3 classes AND free gloves…read morefor $20) and I quickly became a member because the workouts are very addicting. I've been a member for almost two years now and I will keep coming back because every kickboxing workout is different. The instructors are all great and each puts their own unique spin on whatever part of the body you work out that day. I will say that at the beginning, it was hard but with multiple classes(and as a member, I can go to as many classes as I want) and with help from the instructors on how to correctly perform each move, I have gotten more confident in my workout. Each workout for kickboxing is around an hour long and features high intensity music to keep you going. You start with a warm-up, do some combos, and finish off with a killer speed round. It may be in a group setting but you definitely get one on one time with the instructor when you can't figure out the combo or how to do the exercise. The atmosphere of this place is always great. Very welcoming and the instructors get to know you. Even if you are unsure of going by yourself, you'll find the other members are all easy to get to know and in the same sweaty boat as you at the end of the class. Class times are mornings or night times(Afternoons too on certain days). Very flexible for people with full time jobs like myself. As a member I'm also able to take other classes such as Muy Thai or Jui Jitsu. If I'm feeling like I want to learn more technique or just get a sweaty workout in, I definitely have options. This place is the best, highly recommend.

Great environment to develop your skills. All the trainers are willing to help you learn.read more

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.

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!
