Starting to doubt this is a legitimate business. I’m pretty sure all these 5 star reviews are fake and paid for. Their customer service so far is garbage.
6 missed phone calls throughout today, I called twice at the hours of 10am, 12, and 1 pm. No callbacks. What the hell did I buy on Groupon?
They can’t even do something as simple as talk to new customers and schedule their prepaid appointments.
Highly unprofessional business.
Update: from 1 star to 3. After the 9^th call today, at 9:55pm. Someone finally picked up the phone. The customer service was good when someone responded. But it does not excuse you from excessive missed calls.

After four and a half years of working out at I LOVE KICKBOXING, I still love going 5 – 6 days a week.

I started out with my friends just to try out since I already go to gym. But after the 2^nd class I couldn’t resist the energy and motivation from all the great coach there and signed up to become a member. This place is very clean. They will clean up the mats and bags after each class. Unlike the kick boxing class in gym. You get to actually punch the bags not air. Each person get have their own bag which is really great! Their staff and coaches are the badass! They motivate you to another level. Push you when you think you can’t. That’s what you really want when you go workout. They also change up the routine, so you definitely not feel bored. Very fun if you get your friends to go together but will not be bored if you go alone. Highly recommended!

Signing up here was one of the best decisions I’ve made, not only are the instructors fun and keep the class motivated but the workouts are INTENSE. I’ve seen such a difference in my body after a couple of months and I’m really happy with the results. After almost a year of not working out, I knew I had to make a change, and ILKB was that change I needed.

Seriously, this has been the best workout I’ve had in my entire life. I joined for the great deal. Thinking I would give it a try, and also thinking I wouldn’t want to continue with the investment to actually take the classes. Boy was I wrong! I LOVE this! I get such an amazing workout and it truly helps relieve STRESS! Physically and mentally this is the best thing that I’ve ever done for myself! I love all of the instructors at the Hamilton location and I feel completely comfortable learning everything they’re teaching! I joined for the unlimited monthly deal after my first class from my web special! It’s been amazing!!! Thank you ILKBHamilton! You rock!!!

This is one of the best workouts that I have done. The class is divided into three segments. The class begins with running and lots of core work. The second segment is five or six boxing rounds at the bag followed by partner boxing. The class ends after some well deserved stretching.
All the instructors do stress the importance of stretching and I learned some really helpful ones. There are always two instructors in the class. One instructor gives the class while the other instructor assists the new members. Instructors explain the moves and monitor the group to see that the moves are done correctly. I appreciate the feedback and I have lost fifteen pounds in a month. Great workout and caring instructors make this gym a good investment.

This was my first kickboxing experience ever and it totally kicked my ass! I got a full body workout and I was pushed to keep going and working hard to think about all my goals I want to accomplish! I can honestly say that this place will get you where you want to be and I’m sure with all the right guidance and help from Stephanie and John you will get the results you want and fast! I joined today and can’t wait to go back. I love Kickboxing was such a great experience for me and a great work out! You will leave this place feeling sore and tired but feeling so proud of yourself for kicking ass. I know I did!

I’ve had an amazing experience at iLoveKickboxing Bayside! I absolutely love the gym, its so roomy and clean and comfortable. Classes are super-​challenging, but accommodating to people of all fitness levels. I used a Groupon (amazing deal, by the way) to determine whether this was the right place for me, and I quickly discovered it was exactly what I was looking for. I have found that I need more than just equipment to have success in fitness. I need a place like iLoveKickboxing. I immediately had a sense of belonging when I joined. There is no lack of motivation here. The instructors are great, they push you to try your very best and don’t allow you to slack off.
I look forward to attending classes and I feel great every time I walk out. I never regret a single workout there, and I definitely don’t regret signing up for a membership.

I was a little hesitant. I am a new mom who has been out of shape for quite some time and I was not sure if this was a workout for me. Immediately the instructors checking me in put me at ease. They break everything down for you and make it super easy and super fun! I would never waste my time at a gym after joining I love kickboxing. It’s a total body workout, I sweat like a farm animal but it is soo much fun! The people that go there in general are extremely inviting and helpful and the instructors just make it fun! I have been going for a month and already I feel stronger, I have more energy and I have dropped 8 pounds! I go four times a week I’m addicted! If you stick with it, it really works!

I’ve been around the fitness block for a while and by far this is THE BEST workout I’ve gifted myself in a long while. Apart from dancing, this is really the only other workout that makes me feel satisfied & good. The hour is packed with a hefty punch so be prepared to REALLY WORK or risk getting called out!
That said, the instructors are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, approachable, and nice. No pretenses here, they know you’ve come to work on attaining your goals and they are totally team «you.»
Facilities are very straightforward & clean.
They have a couple of enticing offers circulating the Internet; I would definitely take advantage, you will thank yourself almost immediately since the impact is instant to your body, mind, and soul.

I have been going to ILKB for 4 months now after switching out from a regular gym and I’m so glad I did! You will get a great workout and the instructors are all so motivating. They will encourage you and push you to perform your best. I appreciate that the staff tries to get to know their members and create a family-​like environment.
I also like how they have morning and evening classes in order to accommodate all working hours. I’ve never been to other locations but I am impressed by this particular location because they are always working to improve. They have been incorporating theme party classes, health tips after class, and different types of punch/​kick combinations. I would like to see more variation with combinations to make it more exciting :)
Overall, it’s a great gym/​class and I highly recommend to everyone!

I’m neither graceful nor young, so it’s never pretty… but I do love it! The instructors make a real effort to create a family community! They are patient and goodnatured, but prepare to work! It’s really fun and an awesome workout, a perfect combination of heart healthy cardio and strength. The members are really nice, very supportive and reflect all body types and ages so I never feel self conscious or intimidated. Energy is great!

I was looking to change up my workout routine and tried different studios around the city and in Queens to find out what workout was was fun yet effective, and where I wouldn’t get bored easily. I also wanted more bang for my buck so I really wanted something that would burn lots of calories and build strength.
I tried ILKB Bayside using their 3 class promotion on their website. I scheduled my first class over the phone (while you are doing trial classes, they will work with you to choose a class that fits your schedule). During my first class, I received one to one training with one of the awesome ILKB Bayside instructors, and she stayed with me the whole class providing encouragement and feedback, so I did not feel lost in the class at all. She went through each move with me to ensure I was doing them correctly and safely. The classes consist of a warm up, cardio conditioning, some stretching, rounds of bag work, then a cool down.
You will do work! Your heart rate will remain high the entire class! You will burn tons of calories! (I check, using my heart rate monitor). But each class is so much fun, time really flies and before you know it the hour is done. Not only are the workouts different and FUN at every class, but every instructor I’ve had so far has shown tremendous positivity and provided encouragement to everybody to do their personal best. The other members of ILKB are also there to put in that work, just like you, so there is no need to be self-​conscious even if you are a beginner. You know it is a great workout when you can’t wait to come back and that has been my experience for the last couple of months. I’m happy to have found ILKB Bayside for the fun and effective workout and for the wonderful instructors that make working out fun.
Some other things: the place is clean, there are male and female locker rooms and bathrooms, and sufficient parking in the lot or street parking. Yay!

I’ve gone twice so far and I love the workout. They do a good job on boarding newbies where the newcomers get individual attention when learning the punches and kicks. First part of the class is jogging and drills (lunges/​burpees/​sit-​ups and whatnot). Second part is several rounds of punch/​kick combos.
The intro class fee is very reasonable. However they expect you to love it and sign on with them thru a package (35 or 60 classes). When you do the math each class ends up around $ 12, which is not bad at all. I just wish they had more options available such as a 10 class package for a few $ more per class. I can’t commit to so many classes since I’m not in the area that often.
I do think that if you’re looking to tone up and/​or lose weight this is a great option.

I joined ilovekickboxing Bayside («ILKB») in July of this year. My husband suggested that I work out. I gained more than 20 pounds in 3 years and I was getting out of shape badly. I tried traditional gym and zumba in the past, but it didn’t really work out for me. I didn’t enjoy it at all. While I was searching Groupon, I came across ILKB. It was located less than 5 minutes from my home. How convenient! I bought Groupon for 10 classes to try out first. Upon taking my first class on 07÷10÷15, I signed up for membership on the same day.
What I like the most about ILKB are the instructors. My favorite instructors are Saif, Mike, Ethan, John, Elizabeth and Allison. They not only motivate members, but also really care about members on personal level. They make you feel so comfortable. Secondly, the instructors lead killer workout every single time. I’m not the person who sweats much, but I’m soaking wet after the class. The instructors really push you to the limit.
In 4 months, I’ve changed a lot. For the first time in my life, I enjoy workout. I go to 3 – 4 times a week in the morning. It is the greatest way to start my day. When I miss my workout at ILKB, I get anxious. I wish I had joined sooner. So far, I’ve lost 7 pounds. It’s only the beginning. Thank you, ILKB!

Absolutely love this place! Originally I was looking for some sort of workout to help bring back my motivation to workout. I use to work out a lot at the gym but it became very routine and I fell out of it. I was browsing on groupon and came across a deal for this place. $ 50 for 10 classes. Told myself it was a catch. If I didn’t like it, it wouldn’t effect my finances. My problem is committing to a gym. I’ve had passed experience where I would join and workout religiously for about 3 months, then i would stop going because I would get bored. For a while I was unhappy with the way I looked and felt. I was always feeling lack of energy.
After attending the first class, I must say it was intense. But then again I haven’t worked out in so long. I was so sore, i was not able to walk up and down the stairs for about 5 days. However, once i started feeling a bit better, i scheduled my next class and then the next. I started feeling excited and look forward to go to the classes. I couldn’t stop talking to my friends, family and colleagues about my experience. At first I thought the class would be routine; but think again. Just when you think you can predict what’s next, they switch it up on you. It’s better that way because you won’t be bored. I feel more energy and motivation nowadays.
The past year or so, i had no motivation to work out at all. Nowadays I’m constantly thinking about it. As I am writing this review, I am actually on my honeymoon. The thought of being away for 2 weeks and missing at least 4 classes was a bummer. What I decided to do is take advantage of the fitness facility to keep the momentum going. I could’ve easily made excuses to take the 2 weeks off and cheat but I didn’t. Ask me back then if I would ever check out the gyms on my vacation and I would look at you as if you are crazy. Lol.
Ilovekickboxing really helped me build back my motivation and i’ve noticed some results. I feel and see areas of my body more toned. I am able to do sit ups and run; which I was not able to do consistently without panting like a dog in heat.
Everyone at this facility is so friendly and nice. I find that they’re very encouraging. I was so pleased with this place, I even recommended one of my friend to check it out and she ended up joining after the first class.
I’m looking forward to return from my vacation to get back into the routine. ;)

I called to schedule my first appointment and it was confirmed. 4 days later I came for my appointment and they told me that the appointment was never made.
I had to travel half an hour to get here and it was a complete waste of time. So annoying.

I bought the Groupon for 10 classes recently and have been there twice so far. I get such a great vibe from this place and look forward to going. The instructors are not trying to kill you and yell at you — they guide the workout and you do what you can do. This promotes such a great atmosphere and is the main reason I enjoy coming here.
They try to sell you a package at a pretty good price after the first class (which is fine, the point of the groupon is to generate business). However, if you decline to do it right away they do not pressure you or make you feel like an outsider. It is hard to decide if you want to commit the money and they do not give you a hard time about it.
The class beings with about 20 minutes of high intensity cardio (running, burpees, squats pushups, mountain climbers, planks, etc) — this is really the hardest part of the workout. After that you do some light stretching, and then you are hitting the bag for the rest of the class. Other than basic technique, the focus is really on the workout and cardio as opposed to getting you ready to fight Rhonda Rousey.
They give you gloves on the first day, which is very nice. Shorts and a t shirt is fine for the class. Most people do the class barefoot, which is fine because the place is pretty clean.
All in all, this is a great workout and a great way to change it up your workout routine.

Finally got my fatass off my bed to work out and it’s all thanks to ilovekickboxing! I’ve been wanting to start working out again but I seriously have no motivation to go to the gym by myself and a few of my friends told me they joined ilovekickboxing in bayside and said they lovedddd it so I decided to give it a try!
I got the groupon deal (which by the way is realllyyy worth it) with my friend and booked our first class. After the first class, I was hooked and signed up for a membership the same day!
Each class is 1 hour long and the instructors are all really nice and make sure you’re doing everything correctly. There are numerous classes offered throughout the day so there will sure be a class that will fit your schedule!
Only downside to the place is the parking lot for it usually packed so sometimes i find myself finding street parking but that isn’t that big of a deal.
Try it out by getting the groupon and i’m sure you’ll end up joining too!

These days, the boyfriend doesn’t recognize me.
I plan my schedule around my kickboxing schedule, I get hyped up to sweat, and then leave the gym… only to plan ahead to my next visit. I’ve NEVER been a gym junkie or a workout fiend before, and if I was, it was only for a little while as I’d entertain short-​lived illusions of a summer six-​pack. Soon enough, the treadmills would bore me and the meatheads would annoy me. ILKB has changed all of that with its quick but super intense sessions. I discovered the Bayside branch through Groupon and intended to quietly work through my purchased sessions and then leave. Instead, I found myself signing on as a member by the end of the first class. Like many others, I was hooked. All of the trainers here are top notch — friendly but fierce, pushing you to the brinks of your physical ability until the hour is up and you’re sitting in a pool of your own sweat. Best of all, after several months of regular attendance, I’m fitting into clothes I haven’t worn in years.
And just in case you think I fell for a clever sales pitch, I brought the boyfriend for a visit (who swore up and down that he’d only stay for the ten classes Groupon got him). Guess who else is now a newly minted ILKB member?
The only possible downside I can think of is crowding. Trying to find parking in the parking lot can be a headache, especially during the evening hours. Kickboxing has also made its way through the grapevine of physical fitness, so certain sessions might get packed, to the point where roundhouse kicks need to be carefully angled, lest you accidentally plant one in your classmates’ face.
Small confession — one of the reasons why I didn’t want to provide a positive review was to try and keep my gym hidden from swarms of newcomers. But the truth is, I love nearly everything about kickboxing, particularly at this branch, and couldn’t fathom going back to the monotony of gym workouts after this.
