From the reviews
ILKB has had such a positive impact on my life. Like many of us during covid, I had lost the motivation to work out and stay active. I decided to push myself to start their 6-week challenge and am so glad I did. From the moment I first walked in, everyone has always been so welcoming and gave off just the best energy.
I started ILKB with a 6 week challenge. The challenge pushed me to my limits and made me realize I could accomplish my goals. Kickboxing has increased my self confidence and improved my health. I am now eating healthier and looking better than I have in years. I love the ILKB family and I will be joining as a member.
I joined ILKB to challenge myself, to build strength & endurance, and to lose weight. But I gained so much more - a fit family ❤️. Everyone is encouraging. The coaches are super knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve found my new love - kickboxing 💯
This is my third time returning for kickboxing classes, and every time I’m ready to start back, I choose this location . The trainers are incredibly motivating and really push you beyond your limits while still making workouts fun and effective.
New to muay thai? Start at The Camp MATC - Pompano Beach
The Camp MATC - Pompano Beach comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at The Camp MATC - Pompano Beach
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
