I love HLKB! The workouts are always fun, and very high energy. Every class is different- the warm ups, the bag rounds and the finisher- you are never bored. They have boot camp classes a couple times a week and monthly theme classes that are always fun. The trainers are all great- especially Barkim- encouraging and knowledgeable and always helpful. I’ve also met so many wonderful people there, the community is awesome!

Barkim is my guy! I started this journey with him, and since day one he has been phenomenal. He set the tone for class, and I’ve enjoyed working with him and the entire team that followed. I feel like I’ve found the perfect place for me to thrive during my wellness journey, and I have no reason to ever stop something so beneficial to me and my health! I’m down about 8 lbs with diet and kickboxing after just 8 classes!

I am fairly new tomorrow. I will be going on my eighth class and my instructor so far has been.Barkim Benjamin and I have to say I love the style of the class. I love that I can pace myself. I love that we do warm-up swarm downs. I really get into the zone and before I know it class is over. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. My teacher is awesome. He needs a pay raise lol

I have been a member here for almost three years, and I still look forward to every class. Coach Barkim always makes it fun, energetic and never boring! He is an amazing motivator and his passion is infectious. I always feel so great at the end of every session.

I’ve been with this place for over a year and I can not express how frustrated I am with them. The only positive side is a couple instructors themselves, that is it. The schedule is inconsistent, it either changes all the time, classes get canceled last minute etc. When I started they have enough evening classes now it’s only a few and like I just mentioned those get canceled the last minute. Naturally, due to their scheduling issues I had no other option but to cancel my membership, the contract expired and I have notified them that I will not be renewing, only to learn that I will still have to pay another month even I’m canceling because of their schedule changes! Besides that there is a lack of cleaning(people sweat and walk on those mats and they stay gross), bathroom is filthy, there are no signs of which changing room it is so once I was about to change and a male walked in(brought it up to a manager-no reaction and/or change). So even workout itself is nice you’ll be paying twice for it if you ever get into class and they don’t cancel the last moment
