The instructors are amazing! I did one trial class and became a member the same day. The instructors keep you motivated and push you to your limits. I've never had such an intense workout and after a few classes I'm already seeing results!

This studio Is what I needed to get me going on my fitness journey. NEver has working out been such a fun challenge. It's fun to push past comfort zone thanks to amazing motivation and support from staff. I love this place!!!!

Love, Love, Love the energy! I have done kickboxing before and have always loved it. Park Slope ILKB is so much fun and friendly. Joined by myself, have been there to 3 times and already feel like part of the KB family! Thank You!s classes and had

From day one I've been hooked which is why I became a member as soon as my second class was over. The instructors are super friendly, positive & ALWAYS motivate you to meet your goals and GET THOSE ABS!

I checked this place out initially because it was right by my house and their try-us-out deal was amazing. The staff was immediately warm and welcoming via phone and Facebook before I even set foot in the class, so that helped quell some anxiety. (Important, as I haven't done cardio like this, um, possibly ever.)

Despite my trepidation about committing to a tough exercise regimen, I joined after the first class! I mean, the time to get in shape is always now, right? Time waits for no one. (Insert dramatic sigh.)

Anyway, the class is high-intensity and it hurts during and after for a newbie like me, but it gets exponentially better each time I go and I really feel like I am gifting my mind and body with something truly important. Health! (Oh...and maybe a summer bod I can be proud of!)

If you are nervous about what shape you're in or are embarrassed about group classes like this, absolutely don't be. The instructors are all super-friendly, positive and motivational and there is no judgment. Class members are focused on their personal goals and trying to get through the sets without pausing (haha--of course maybe that's just me). Speaking of pausing, if you need to, you can. Again, no judgment. (I find that I need to stop less and less with each class.)

To sum up - if you are looking for a lightning-fast way to get yourself in shape in a fun and friendly environment, you'll find it here!

1. Walking in the front door, the team greets everyone by name - all the time. How they have managed to memorize everyone's names/faces is beyond me. Very often, you will even get a welcome hug. You will ALWAYS see a smile.

2. The team is encouraging in a firm and motivational way but with so much support and enthusiasm.

3. The class level is mixed. I didn't feel like a total failure. I didn't feel like I was doing worse than everyone else. The way it's set up, I don't even pay attention to what anyone is doing. You are brought right into the workout and go from one step to another and you are challenged against yourself to always get better.

4. Fun with high intensity. The workout IS tough yes. Not going to lie. But what tempers all of that is the sense of fun and enjoyment the team brings. Aside from the lead instructor, there are co-instructors who walk around the room to check everyone out and correct form and keep you working - again, with a smile on their face and a word of encouragement or perhaps some silly banter.

5. High-fives for everyone after each tough set.

6. The studio is clean and spacious (ha and no HUGE windows for all the deadbeats on the street to walk by and stare at you hahaha). Oh and for anyone looking to drive, there is usually plenty of parking nearby. And delis so you can grab some water and power-up snacks prior.

7. Interactivity. Join up and get in the VIP group on Facebook and get to know everyone better. It really makes coming in so much more enjoyable to have this sense of community with each other. Regular tips on form or nutrition are posted regularly in addition to the fun and silly times on the board.

8. They do good. Check-ins bring benefits to those who can use it. Coat drives. ILKB gets involved with you, with the community, with the world.

9. Any place that encourages me to bring my dog to visit is A-Ok in my book :)

10. Simply put - I feel good. A perfect stress reliever. I wasn't motivated prior. Now I am.

I am a member at ILKB and I have never had so much fun at a gym before. They really care about each member, its like a family! Every class is just as fun as the last!
