What’s it like to take a class at iLoveKickboxing? During the workout, members put on gloves to kick and punch just like a prizefighter. Classes are structured for any age or fitness level. Studios welcome beginners but still challenge more physically inclined participants. Classes feature multiple instructors that guide members through a compete body workout in 60 minutes. The program is based on High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), where you do intense bursts of exercise followed by short periods of rest. At ILKB, members can burn an average of between 450 and 800 calories per class (depending on size/gender of the person and how hard they are pushing themselves). Members also love the feeling of empowerment and stress relief that organically occurs along the way.
“I am so excited to share iLoveKickboxing with my community,” said owner Chris Plitnick, who had previously spent 20 years in corporate America but was no longer personally satisfied with his career. “I knew that I wanted to change course, but what started out to be a business decision because I liked the ILKB franchise model has evolved into more than just a professional endeavor,” added Plitnick, who has plans to open four additional studios in the surrounding suburbs of Philadelphia. “It is very gratifying to know that we are helping residents improve their health and reach the level of fitness that they have always wanted to achieve,” he added.
