Great place to workout AND have fun doing it
This place is awesome. I was scared to do kickboxing thinking I am not in the greatest of shape right now and was worried about what people there would think. That thought left my mind with the first class. Such motivating trainers as well as members. It is quite a workout but we have lots of fun in the process. The trainers are patient and will go out of their way to make sure you are getting the max benefit from the workout.

A must do!
iLoveKickboxing is a must if you want to get in shape and have fun at the same time. The staff are so awesome, cares about you and your progress. The classes are high energy so it doesn't matter if you are tired from a long day at work, you will get all the motivation you need. Some may say kickboxing is tough but the workout has made me lose 20 pounds and still going. I love that place, I recommend it enough!!!"

I Love Kickboxing
I have only been a member for a short period of time, but I absolutely love it! Everyone from the instructors to the members will make you feel like family. The instructors are motivating, inspiring, and will make your goals their goals. I'm always excited to attend the intense, yet fun, kickboxing sessions and my Kung Fu trainings. Glad I found them!

AMAZING
John Wai Kung Fu Academy is not only the BEST place to get an amazing work out, but it is also like having another family. The instructors are so caring about each person, and they really push you to get to that next level. They go above and beyond, and always give 110%. As far as the work outs go, I remember when I first joined I couldn't even do a girl push up! However, now that isn't the case. I honestly wouldn't recommend any other place, because I am proud to say that I am a student at JWKFA!!

If you're looking for a fun but effective way to get fit and learn how to kickboxing , this is the place to be. The instructors are all amazing. You forget you're even working out, that's how much fun it is. Fun but effective ! Any fitness level is welcomed. My endurance and stamina has improved tremendously. There's so much room to grow. You won't regret it.

I Love Kickboxing and You will too!
Rarely do you find a place that both encourages and supports you. I found this at ILKB/John Wai Kung Fu. The trainers are fantastic. The facilities are spotless. The members are supportive and the best part, you don't even feel like you're working out. I dropped a dress size in just 4 weeks. This is a great place for the entire family. I can't say enough good words about it.

Kickboxing is awesome!
I bought a groupon for 5 classes and loved it so much I signed up after my first class. I was addicted from the first day. The instructors are amazing! They motivate you to do your best and correct your form to make sure you are safe. I have an extremely busy schedule and appreciate the variety of times the classes are available. After a month of classes, I am stronger and my stress level is better. I look forward to every class. Come try a class!

Awesome Kick Boxing
John Wai Kung Fu is one of the best places to work out. I love the kickboxing classes not only does it gets you into shape, but it challenges your mind and body. Each class is new and different, so I never get bored. The trainers are great and everyone there is very positive. Awesome environment I highly recommend it! I could see how my body has transformed in the past 2 months. My Stamina and energy levels are increased. This also helped me in other sports I play. Can't recommend it enough!!!"

John Wai Kung Fu Academy is amazing! I began kickboxing (I love Kickboxing Plantation) classes this year and have been to around 7 classes and have a 12 month membership already... I love it! The staff is extremely helpful, nice, and motivating! It is definitely a hard workout but it is super fun! I can't recommend it enough!

ILOVEKICKBOXING is AMAZING! SO MUCH ENERGY AND SO MUCH FUN! This is a workout that is way different than any other work out I have done in my past. It is not repetitious nor boring. I have always tried to find a work out that is for me but always got bored from working out at home, gym or with a personal trainer one on one. The staff is great and instructors are amazing, and are there to help you without you struggling on your own with every move. This place is AWESOME and always look forward in going to class. I can't talk about it ENOUGH!

Great environment and Results producing classes!
I was nervous and skeptical when I first walked in to take a trial kickboxing class. I’m athletic but I was looking for a new type of workout and friendly environment. I tried a different kickboxing gym years before, but sacrificed the remaining trial classes because the environment was unfriendly and unwelcoming. However, everyone at John Wai Kung Fu / Ilovekickboxing was so friendly, from my first phone call, to my first class. All the instructors and current members welcomed me in with such enthusiasm and genuine personalities that I became a member on DAY 1. The instructors focus on proper technique, as well as positively encourage me to push toward my full potential. They are excellent motivators! The kickboxing classes incorporate everything I desire in a workout (cardio, strength training, and fun). I also LOVE the variety of different martial arts classes offered. Being a member has allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone, try something new, and discover that I am great at it. When I'm having a not so great day, I feel so much better once I go in to work out, leave it on the bag, and interact with the fitness family. The excellent retention of long time members, including ones that literally grew up in John Wai Kung Fu, give me confidence that I made the right choice. It’s a place where the entire family can enjoy unique activities designed for every age. The confidence gained, strength I feel, and physical changes are amazing! I am truly happy as a member, and feel that I have found the perfect fitness family.

Hi my name is Hilda and I just wanted to share that this company it is a 5 stars, they not just professional, fun and super friendly but they really care and take a personal interest in helping you out to get to your Gold, you Gold is their Gold and this you don't find anywhere. I am super happy that I joined the family and they have welcoming me and I just started a week ago and I already feel the difference in my body it almost starts working right away. I have had a lot health issue and I was a bit concern about taking the class but since I started a week ago, I can tell you that I feel almost 100% the class is super energetic and fun and the instructors really help you out to learn the techniques to get all out of the class. I really recommend it to any one who wants to loose weight but had fail in any others methods, this really works and it's fun! It's a lot better than the Gym!!!!!! :)

This is the best gym I've ever belonged to! I am not someone who usually enjoys working out but when I step into this gym the feeling of welcoming friends makes me want to push myself! Osei is a great instructor and he really pushes you to better yourself! All the staff are very friendly and they are willing to take the time to show you proper form. They truly care about your results.

I found this kickboxing class through a groupon, which offered only 4 classes. I was so impressed that I signed up after my very first class. The class is tough but not unbearable. You feel really accomplished once it’s over. Everyone is really friendly. The staff is very knowledgeable. Many of them have been doing this for a very long time. It’s an overall nice atmosphere to workout in (very clean too).

iLoveKickboxing has completely changed my life. I moved to South Florida a few years ago and fell in a rut with exercising and eating healthy. I started kickboxing in January and just hit my first 20 pound weight loss goal. I had tried so many other things before and nothing worked. I am so thankful for their motivation and energy each workout. I highly recommend John Wai Kung Fu Academy and iLoveKickboxing Plantation!

Today was my first class at Ilovekickboxing.com in Plantation…I have to say I LOVED IT! I found the staff to be super helpful and friendly when I called to set up my appointment. They even sent email reminders prior to the class. The instructor not only remembered my name but everyone’s name in my group. Since this was our first (but definitely not last) class the staff took the time to really make sure we knew what we were doing and spent time showing us exactly how to do it…encouraging us the entire time. It was a great work out…kickboxing, crunches, squats, lunges, planks, etc. I feel like we did it all…a true total body workout! I would recommend this class to everyone. I am headed back for some more sweet torture as soon as I can. J

Best workout ever
I can say without any reservation or exaggeration, that this is the absolute best place to get your sweat on! Osei and crew do a tremendous job in training, motivating and teasing out the noble warrior within each of us. I go to the morning classes at 8:30 and for 45 solid minutes, I am pushed beyond limits that I thought would never be broken. After almost a year of training here, I have shed pounds and increased my stamina 10 fold. I think I may be in the best shape of my life. In addition to being an outstanding fitness venue, it's also a great place to make friends and be part of an amazing group of people that will inspire, motivate and support you in whatever endeavor you pursue. The staff and members alike all foster a strong sense of community that makes it feel like a family. Thanks to all in my John Wai family. Looking forward to many more years.

Yesterday was my first class at John Wai Kung Fu Academy, as well as my first kickboxing class I had ever taken. I immediately felt welcomed the second I walked in to sign up for the class. The instructors are AMAZING and so supportive to each student, beginner to expert. It was a tough class but exactly what I have been looking for and I would recommend this studio to everyone! The schedule is accommodating to everyone, whether you are looking for an early morning workout before heading into work or if you prefer to jet over to the studio after you are done working for the day to release some steam. Very excited to start my journey here and I encourage anyone who wants an awesome full body workout that is also fun to come and join!

Great place to workout!
I've been coming here since June 2014 for their Kickboxing Classes. The instructors here are simply phenomenal! They offer enough classes throughout the day so if you can't make it in the morning, you can come in the evenings. It's become part of my daily routine and I wished I found this place years ago. The classes are not intimidating - challenging, yet doable (even for a novice, like myself).

Can't Beat
Name the gym, fitness studio, workout center, organized class, personal trainer, fitness craze, latest exercise trend, home exercise video, local race/ ride, I have been a regular of it, committed member, and or completed it…however none have remotely compared to the results I achieved at John Wai Kung Fu and none have been as fun or fulfilling. I not only gained a new passion and drive, but to boot, developed muscle tone and the lean, defined athletic build I desired. I walked in the doors, the complete antithesis of kickboxing: scrawny, weak, timid and fragile, and I leave each time empowered, confident, pushed and stronger. The energy, motivation, encouragement, and genuine personal and professional touch here is what is terribly lacking at the other facilities I have been involved with. The mentality and principles are simple and basic. You are required to show up, work your ass off, and respect your fellow family members. There is no gym drama, perfume wearing nonsense. Just beautiful, real women, looking for a serious no frill, no fluff workout showing the fellow male classmates how to suck it up and give Osei and the whole JWKF staff what they ask for. The business is run with a sense of respect, commitment, and appreciation for its members and families. The team goes above and beyond, providing a holistic approach to achieving real results, including a sound diet and consistent practices in and outside of class. The staff provides daily inspiration and shares in your journey to improve upon, challenge and constantly set new goals for ourselves. They keep it fun and most definitely light and entertaining, creative and always different from class to class. JWKF provides an all-inclusive service to become the you , you never knew you could. While more intense, the feel is more comfortable and interestingly not at all intimidating as most gyms I have stepped foot in are. It is perfect for all levels to reach personal achievements and be positively pushed to your own next level.

I was out of class for almost a year because of school ,but when I returned back I was welcomed like I never missed a day . Everyone was really happy to see me back. I love these classes. It's an awesome workout and lots of fun. So much fun that you won't even know that it's just an hour because you're always moving. Never boring, and never gets old. Always changing it up and challenging the members throughout every class!! Each instructor is not only very knowledgeable - giving clear directions and fitness tips - but they have lots of personality too! Seriously, I've never met a more supportive bunch of instructors as well as other members! I will never go to a boring, regular gym again ….. Silvia H.

Try it! You will love the workout you get!
My family and I have been members at John Wai Kung Fu Academy for 6 months, and it has changed our lives. The instructors at John Wai, well, they are just awesome. My son (5) attends Kung Fu prep classes and Ju Jit Su for kids (cute as can be). My husband attends Ju Jit Su for Adults (not as cute, but effective) and Sanshou. I attend Kickboxing (4x/week) and the occasional bootcamp class. We are all hooked. There is not a day that passes that one of us in not at John Wai's (except Sundays because they are closed), so I know from experience, you will enjoy your time there. You will be sore and want to whimper, but you will go back for more. If an instructor can hold the attention of my son, he is amazing, but believe it or not that same instructor can also twist my husband like a pretzel and get me to push myself through that last burpee! That is versatility, expertise, and dedication and every instructor at John Wai's Kung Fu Academy has those qualities. Most importantly, John Wai's is filled with good people and you will come away from your experience there more fit in mind and body.

Amazing Workout
This is the place to be at if you want a total workout for your body. Their kickboxing class is intense, but it's not difficult...meaning I'm a klutz with horrible coordination & when they are showing the moves, it's easy to pick up. I'm here 3 times a week and for each class I attend, I'm getting a different work out. The instructors are always changing it up and making the workout fun & interesting. The place is friendly & the pleasant staff knows you by your name, which I appreciate because you feel like they are invested in your health. The instructors Osei, Tamer, Martin, Chloe & Michael will motivate you & push you to your potential which is helpful, especially when I feel like I'm at my last breath! All I have to say is TRY IT...you will not be disappointed!

Love this place
I have been taking kickboxing at John Wai for a little bit now and I've never felt this way about working out before. I actually enjoy this. From the very first class I felt encouraged by both the staff and the other people in my class. You get a SERIOUS workout but you still want to come back as many times as possible! Totally recommended

Kickboxing
I went to my first kickboxing class ever today at John Wai King Fu Academy and it such a great experience. The class was energetic, the instructors were very helpful, and I feel like I got one of the best workouts in a really long time. I signed up for a membership immediately! I highly recommend it!

Great Workout!
Serious workout in a warm, friendly environment. I've taken kick boxing classes but haven't experienced this much instruction anywhere else. Group or individual training, male or female, young or old, they have something for everyone. And they make it fun too! Definite must go!

I just want to say that John Wai Kung Fu is one of the best places. Not only do they have the nicest staff but you really feel like family there. I've had tried all different types of workout class and studios but nothing beats John Wai Kung Fu . I love the kickboxing classes not only does it gets you into shape, but it challenges your mind and body. The Kung Fu classes are amazing . Honestly , you won't be disappointed with any class there. One of the best places to start your healthy lifestyle and get into shape! Can't stressed that enough!

Go try it out!
I started kickboxing classes at John Wai Kung Fu Academy 2 months ago, and I love it!! The environment is so welcoming. Every time I walk in, I am greeted by name. Each class is new and different, so I never get bored. The instructors and assistants are amazing! They motivate me to keep going, even when I think I've got nothing left. Go in and try one class... I guarantee you'll be hooked!

Excellent Classes and Instructors for All Levels
I have been attending Adult Kickboxing classes in the morning for almost 7 years. I started at 45 and was out of shape. Participating in the classes gave me the courage and motivation to complete The Warrior Dash, Down and Dirty Mud Run, and the Superhero Scramble in the last few years (look 'em up and you'll see how challenging they can be...and I couldn't have done it without the training and support of the awesome instructors and my classmates!) )The instructors keep the class fresh and fun, bringing in new exercises regularly. You do not need any prior experience to learn and enjoy. I consider the instructors and my classmates to be family and look forward to sharing many more years together.

kickboxing
I started Kickboxing in June and haven’t stopped going since then. I absolutely love the classes. Everyone who works there is fantastic, super motivating, and extremely helpful. They make you want to come to class more and more every week. I have never found working out so much fun before. The staff is very personable and from the moment you walk in the door the first time they treat you like family. Kickboxing is by far the best workout I have ever had.

Great Workout@
I started taking kickboxing classes at John Wai in the summer of 2013. I was never very athletic but wanted to find a new workout routine that was fun to get myself into better shape. I immediately LOVED the John Wai Kickboxing workout. The classes are always fun and different and the staff is awesome and always encouraging. I highly recommend John Wai's Kickboxing classes to anyone looking for a great strength and cardio workout that is tired of the typical gym routine!

Great Workout
John Wai Kung Fu Academy is a great place to work out. The staff and instructors are amazing. I started last May when I bought the ten kickboxing class package off of groupon. After my first class I was hooked. I ended up buying an additional 50 classes. The class is a quick 45 minutes and you leave drenched in sweat. I would recommend this place to anyone and I do all the time.

amazing martial art school
It all started with a losing weight idea... Coming to find out I found my #1 hobbit. Everything about this school is amazing. ( trainers, classes, location ...,) I wouldn't trade my kickboxing for anything else. Love it and I intend on doing it for a very long time.

Best workout ever
I started going to John Wai Kung Fu in August 2013 and it has been the best workout decision I've ever made. They have the best trainers, they challenge you and push you to do your best. I won't be going anywhere but here.

Awesome!!!
I've been kickboxing here for about a year and I love it. It's a full body workout like no other. The trainers know exactly how to motivate you while keeping it fun and new so it never gets boring! I've never felt better!

The best class I have ever took...
iLoveKickboxing is the best random impulse purchase I have ever done!! I have been a member for almost 4 months now and love this class so much. I had bought a Groupon of 10 classes for $50 and read up on all the great reviews before officially signing up and dragging two of my girlfriends along with me to the John Wai Kung Fu Academy. I wasn’t sure what to expect but all I can say is that this class has met my expectations and more. The first class kicked my butt, so did the 2nd class and then the 3rd and so on and so on. Almost 4 months later I still get sore the next day and I LOVE it!!!
