Whether you are looking to lose weight or get toned, ILoveKickboxing is a fun alternative to the normal exercise routine. The concept is simple: members warm up for 15 to 20 minutes doing stretches, burpees, squats and other exercises before taking out their daily frustrations on the bags for 25 to 30 minutes, working through six three-minute bag rounds. This is followed by partner drills, resistance training, and conditioning and finally the cool down. High-spirited instructors lead the participants through different combinations and observe to ensure each person is properly doing the exercises. It is a way to get one-on-one attention while being in a class setting.
Kickboxing has many benefits. In addition to being the perfect catharsis after a hard day at work and relieving stress, it also helps people meet their fitness goals quickly. This form of exercise has been known to burn 700 to 800 calories per hour. At ILoveKickboxing, there are no machines, no competition; no weight training or combat it’s just YOU and the BAG…. It is just high energy fun.
Team Boca is stacked with a team of stellar Instructors, all with their own special talents. Each one is gifted in teaching and coaching to push you towards your goals. Each class will be led by a Lead Instructor, Floater Instructor and your first day instructor. So you will never be left to figure it out on your own. We will be there every step and punch of the way.
Our instructors are some of the most outgoing people you will ever meet. They truly enjoy helping others succeed. Their goal is to maintain a supportive and fun environment for you each and every class! It is not a boot camp. You don’t have someone barking orders at you. You have someone making sure you are doing the moves properly as you sweat your tail off. It is a monster workout. You are going to be tired. But we make it as fun as possible,”
Our studio is a small boutique like fitness facility. When you walk into iLoveKickboxing.com we
know your name, your favorite color, and movie and class time. A lot of people with gym memberships swipe their key card, find a TV, do a half hour or 45 minutes of cardio while watching CNN and finish by wiping sweat off machines. This type of routine is mundane and just plain boring. At iLoveKickboxing.com Boca Raton we pride ourselves on having fun. We play loud, high energy music, we have monthly DJ theme parties and on Fridays, we Flex!
A common question, we are asked is “I’ve never done kickboxing before is there a beginner class?” Please be assured that everyone starts out as a beginner. We encourage everyone to do what they can; we offer modifications to each exercise. “Eighty percent have never done [something like this] before. Maybe they are nervous; they don’t want to be a fish out of water. Whether they want to shed a few pounds or get toned, or are bored with what they are doing, [this will work for them]… Many of our members have had surgery, have back problems, leg problems, and gastric bypass. If people are tired or something doesn’t feel right, they can stop so there is very little injury, no twisting ankles, lifting weights, etc. It is very body friendly.”
Our demographic is 80% women and 20% men. Our facility has both women’s as well as men’s locker rooms. The average age range is 18-55, however we have some members who are 65+. You are only limited by the limitations you place on yourself. Our classes are primarily for adults, however children ages 13 to 15 may attend but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Ages 16 to 17 must have a parent/guardian with them for the first class and then the parent can sign a waiver. We do offer a family discount (buy two get one free). Ask about other discounts available, for referring others who sign up, etc.
