This is how I see ILKB after I accomplished my first 100 classes:
The class starts with what they call a "warm up". I call it a "burn out" since I finish exhausted after the first 15 minutes. Even though I have been a member for a while, these "burn outs" never seem to get easier, but I can assure I am performing much better. I lost 1 size, even though I lost no weight. It's not their fault. It happens because I eat so many M&Ms!
The instructors are fun, each one has his/her craziness, motivating everyone in his/her personal style. Their job is to make sure you perform your best and especially careful to do things right and most important, avoid injuries. They are great workout advisors, but very qualified to assess dietary needs. The craziest instructor of all came up with a concept of "active rest". I still can't figure out where the "rest" is. What I consider unique is all the kicking we have to do. So it's not only strength exercise for legs, but also flexibility, speed and agility.
For me this is more like family challenge. I got a good deal ($$$$) by subscribing with my wife and daughter. My greatest success story is with my wife, who hasn't ever worked out; we enjoy the training together. My daughter, who was (not anymore) overweight has a size less. What is even better, her blood work confirms better cholesterol and triglyceride numbers, But best of all, the three of us enjoy every class together!
Every month these guys exhibit the "golden glove challenge" for those who assisted to 12 or more classes during one month. There are so many classes to choose from, Monday to Sunday, morning, noon, afternoon and night classes, there is no excuse not to take many more than 12 classes.
These guys have a marketing machine working all the time. There is always something to buy, clothing, energy drinks, good gloves and better gloves, promotional discounts, now a heart rate monitoring system. Somehow they make it look like a must.
The place will always be found impeccably clean. They clean thoroughly after each class. It's always pleasant to walk into the jovial atmosphere.
When you leave a gym, you can feel the satisfaction of a good workout. When I leave ILKB, I feel I also had a lot of fun too.
In short, highly recommended, and even more if you are willing to take the advantage of unlimited classes.
