Kickboxing Langford

Expérience fantastique: I absolutely love the kickboxing and strength classes. Total body workout. James and his team helped me lose weight, provided healthy eating plan and get me out of my comfort zone. Knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I highly recommend Skillz. Thanks James.

Expérience négative: invited me for an workout to assess my abilities of kickboxing for possible job on Thursday. Worked out for an hour unpaid. Went home, followed up, he never responded. Bad communication. UPDATE a lot of things happened. communication went chaotic. i wrote a small review. Yup. That's life. Capitalism. *drinks coffee*

Expérience fantastique: I’m 53 and overweight. I found SKILLZ kickboxing on FB and wanted to give it a try. Six months later, I lost 30 lbs and feel great about myself. Going kickboxing at SKILLZ is a life-changing decision for me!

Expérience fantastique: High energy, but you go at your pace ✌️ great instructors and everyone is respectful towards one another

Expérience fantastique: Started this program about a month ago. I really like the variety of the workouts. After reading the reviews I was sceptical, but after meeting and dealing with Vidal Boren I have had a very positive experience so far. He takes the time to instruct and assist with any questions. He is always positive and pushes me to the max! I would 100% recommend Skillz Langford and Vidal to anyone!

Expérience fantastique: Taking stock to be thankful and shout out awesomeness! My two, bigger-than-me-now kids, gained so much from their Skillz training. They are both soccer lovers now. We still spar in the kitchen and they are pretty speedy-scary! Love it. 3 years of Skillz was a phenomenal space for both kids to gain confidence, develop discipline, build friendships and have enough savvy to punch their mom! The program has a strong spiral curricula and is unique in it's child development awareness. I highly recommend it. The club has a strong sense of family. It's not just a rec centre drop off place. Kids are empowered to develop their best selves, have opportunity to party with costumes, movie nights, and whatever else the creative team at Skillz come up with. They are dedicated to making it a phenomenal club experience for young and old. Hint: you may find yourself as a parent, being pulled onto the mats at game time.Give it a go...who knows, you may end up having punch ups in your kitchen too.

Expérience négative: It took me awhile to write this review because I didn't want my anger to cloud my judgment. When I started the plan, I found it to be VERY expensive. However, I seen my sister do it and was amazed by her results so I tried it for myself. My plan came with a work out routine and a meal plan, so I thought all would be well. Wrong. When I needed Hannah's help, I would try and contact her to get advice or try and schedule a meeting with her about my plan and what I'm struggling with, all was ignored. My body stopped losing weight after awhile and I was getting no support or coaching from hannah or her husband. I then thought I set up a meeting with hannah after months of waiting, only to be "greeted" by her husband who took me in a private room. We sat down and I felt more attacked then anything. Him saying condicending things to me like "Hannah's not a chef". And when I complained about being on the same meal plan for a month and that I needed variety, that was scuffed off too with ignorance. Its unfortunate that I walked in happy and left miserable. I've had friends ask me how i went and i was very truthful with them. All i asked for was some acknowledgment and care, and i didnt receive that at the end of the program. It was more like "thanks for you 3500 bucks, have a good one" feeling. At least I still have her meal plans which means I can start them up again whenever I want! I'll be doing that, but this time I'll be doing it alone. It's a shame that she didnt coach me on how to keep the weight off either.... I give the company 2 stars because I made some really good friends there who were Very supportive! We are still friends today and surprisingly they agree with my opinions on attitudes. Apparently according to an inside source, the place has gone down hill since I left. ☹

Expérience fantastique: Great people, great program. Whether you want to lose weight, get as fit as you choose or just have a lot of fun and a thorough workout, these guys have your back!

Expérience fantastique: Best workout ever, in a friendly welcoming environment. I started here after purchasing a Groupon, two classes in I was hooked and signed up for a full membership. I was looking to shake up my workout routine, and I haven’t been disappointed. The instructors and members all all friendly and supportive, people here are of all fitness levels and abilities. In seven months I’ve seen my endurance continue to increase, I’m stronger, more flexible, better coordinated and my clothes fitting better isn’t so bad either :). If you’re looking for a great workout in a supportive environment you need to try Sillz Langford; seven months in I’ve never been bored, haven’t plateaued, and am continually impressed at what I’m able to achieve in class.

Expérience fantastique: I'm not exaggerating when I say that the Kickboxing program at Skillz has changed my life. I've been on the regular membership for about 6 months and It's gotten me back on track when it comes to personal health and wellness, which had gone on the back burner for the better part of a decade. Fun, challenging and rewarding workouts, and an awesome community of fellow kickboxers. The instructors are helpful and supportive, but will challenge you to push yourself as you get better and better. I always look forward to my classes at Skillz.

Expérience fantastique: I have had a great experience with Skillz Langford up to this point . I started out with the six week challenge and now have continued on as a member . The workouts will empower you!! It is one of the best workouts you will experience . I love all the changes that I now see both physically and mentally. The community of people you will encounter are great and supportive. Jesse and Kitty are fantastic trainers and are sincere in wanting you to succeed on your path to wellness. Yes there is a cost to the programs and memberships offered but if you put the work in the results will be priceless.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing workout with incredible staff!! The best 45 mins of your day will be at SkillZ Canada. Fun, energetic, helpful and truly dedicated to its members, Jesse and Kitty help everyone in each class. They have gone above and beyond to make you feel a part of each class. The one on one repor they have with each client is something you will not see in any big name gym.

Expérience fantastique: Big leap of faith for me but 1 week in I already lost 2.8% body fat and 4 lbs. I just started my 3rd week and getting stronger and feeling better. It isn't just a numbers goal for me but a personal journey to bring different things back in balance. I needed a non-judgemental place that waa safe but fun and where I looked forward to going (and I do!). I'm still figuring it all out but am enjoying the process and so far the results. I appreciate Jesse and Kitty's energy, support and genuine investment they put into the workouts. I also appreciate the flexible times to go without having to sign up ahead of time. Meal plan is pretty simple enough (just need some creativity and review of recipes to help). People will get different things out of it so it really comes down to how much you value "you" for the time (and let's be honest, money) investment) and commitment put in. Still working through it but so far so good

Expérience fantastique: Love love love Skillz Langford Kickboxing!!! I've learned so much, met amazing people and have a new positive outlook on exercising since joining Skillz. The trainers are excellent motivators, the encourage but don't push too hard. They know their stuff and teach it in a fun way. I have arthritis and both Trainers have taught me ways to adapt their teachings to fit my abilities. The only downside, not enough classes on the weekends but lots during the week.

Expérience fantastique: I had started a weight loss routine but found I had done all I could on my own when I saw the 6 week challenge I thought that it would help me achieve my weight loss goal. I signed up and for all the programs I have tried never did I think it could be fun to go to a gym work out lose weight and make friends,I like it so much that even after the 6 weeks I am going to stay with the gym to continue my weight loss and learning the kick boxing end of it as well. And one day Jessie I will not complain about push ups one day thanks for all your help in my journey

Expérience fantastique: SKILLZ has awesome instructors who make the workouts fun, and a clean atmosphere to workout. I’ve been kickboxing here for almost a year and love it!

Expérience fantastique: Let me start out by saying I lost 26 lbs on the Skillz 6 week challenge. I never imagined that to be possible when I started. The Kickboxing classes are high energy and really fun; the staff is friendly but pushes you towards your goals at the same time. I highly recommend the Skillz programs if you are looking for a really fun way to loose weight and get fit.

Expérience fantastique: I love Skillz! Everyone there is great and supportive. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking to get into shape and to have fun.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing staff. Well planned workouts and great group of people to workout with. Jesse and Kitty are awesome coaches and run their classes with energy and motivation. It has been the most effective form of Group exercise I’ve tried so far, and have experimented with a lot from martial arts to Xfit.

Expérience négative: This school was pretty good when I started going, likely because of the instructors who work there (Honestly, Jesse and Gabe are the best.) However, there's a focus on weight loss that is incredibly toxic - even if you tell them that your goal isn't weight loss, or that you just want to have fun, they'll mention it over, and over, and over again. I made a mistake and joined their six week challenge. They say it's free, but it actually costs a 'deposit' of $600.00. During the period of the challenge, I found their meal plans (which was the reason I signed up) didn't work, as I have dietary restrictions and the people who run the program have a very limited base of understanding on how to work with different dietary issues. Two people in my family died while I was in the program, and I was having severe health problems because of the whey powder and supplements they had us on, and I asked to be let out of the challenge. (I felt this was reasonable since I had been going to the school for months - I thought the health of a regular would outweigh their need to scam me out of six hundred dollars.) They fought me on it. Eventually they 'let me out', but never refunded my money. The whole thing really soured my experience. I stopped going. It sucks, but it feels like I was scammed by this gym. I wasn't sure about posting this review, but I don't feel like they are entirely honest about their program and it is useful information to have. EDIT: just wanted to add that a REQUIREMENT to their program is posting positive reviews online - so claiming that it's a 'massive success' based on this is misleading. I feel stupid for not contacting the BBB before, but hopefully it's not to late for other people. This is a scam.

Expérience fantastique: Great people creating a great atmosphere!

Expérience positive: I did the 6 week challenge, and it was a great kick start for me. The 45 minute classes are intense, which is what I was looking for. Jesse is a positive, and supportive coach. I increased my stamina, and strength in the 6 weeks.

Expérience fantastique: For anyone who is looking for a fun and intense 45 minute workout I highly recommend Skillz Langford. Jesse and Kitty are truly awesome instructors and create a great atmosphere in the classes. The 6 week challenge was difficult at first but it ended up being a great experience. I am excited to continue having a fun time working out at the gym!

Expérience fantastique: Before Skillz I had never done Kickboxing in my life. I completed the 6-week Challenge at Skillz and I am so happy with my progress from that. The nutrition plan has taught me so much and even though the challenge is officially over for me I will not be changing my eating habbits. The classes are so much fun. The instructors, Jesse and Kitty, are also top notch. This is 45 minutes of hard work where all you need to do is show up ready to kick butt! Even if you have had a bad day you do not leave this place without a smile and feeling great. I can't wait to see my SKILLZ (pun intended) improve even more! I highly recommend this to anyone of any skill level I guarantee you will not regret it!

Expérience fantastique: I just finished the 6 week challenge..... I mainly wanted to start a fitness routine for my mental health but have achieved soooo much more! I am down 10lbs. and 6 inches on my waist. My anxiety has decreased and my self esteem has increased. I’m eating cleaner thanks to the nutrition plan included. I sleep better and have tons of energy! I can’t say thank you enough for all the support and encouragement I have received. But a very special shout out to Jesse!!! He has helped me transform my life in sooooo many ways and I will be forever grateful for his knowledge and support! Skillz is not just an amazing gym- it’s a community that I am proud to be a part of and have made some really amazing friendships.

Expérience fantastique: My two sons ( 7 and 10) have been attending the core class for 12 months now. I have seen improvement not only in their endurance and skillz, but their respect for themselves and others around them. Jesse and Gabe have a knack with all the kids they teach. They know how to read the kids and adjust agenda if need be. I am happy to have my kids stay in this program with all the other respectful kids. Its very nice to see all of the kids come out of their comfort zone and have a riot while learning essential life skills. Thank you Jesse and Gabe

Expérience positive: This kick boxing is really great! I've been going for about 4 months now and have lost over 15lbs. The energy of the class is awesone...lots of great music and excellent instruction and encouragement. The sweat just flies! It's a good workout that helps me both physically and mentally too! And we all need that, don't we?!

Expérience positive: Class instructors are super motivating! Customized programs to keep you on track and accountable. Work out is quick and dirty - 45 mins of high intensity yet FUN!!! No experience needed. Additional services for meal plans available. Great in person and on line support!

Expérience positive: Upbeat, and good energy. Along with many others I took part in the 6 week challenge. It definitely was a "Challenge", but that is where the staff comes in. There was nothing but support and encouragement from Jesse McLean telling me always push a little harder, and Hanne Lorentsen keeped me on track with my meal plan. They are what helped me complete my goals. Thank you! Another bonus is they have a good variety of class times to accommodate most schedules and lots of parking.

Expérience fantastique: I have just completed the 6 week challenge and it was extremely successful! Where to start? The staff and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I had never kick boxed before so was a bit nervous to try something new, but with the great coaching from James, Jesse and Gabe was able to push myself past that hurdle and I learned so much....still lots to learn:) Hanne is a nutrition guru who also helped make my goals a reality and I am now setting new ones. The encouragement of the kick boxing family, staff and patrons alike, make me want to strive for excellence. Looking for a transformation? The different challenges offered will get you there! Just looking for a new gym? Absolutely yes! The 45 minute sessions are one of the most intense yet fun workouts you'll experience! Thanks Skillz:)

Expérience positive: I just completed the Kickboxing Langford 6 Week Challenge. With hard work, dedication and a lot of will power, I lost 28 lbs and in 6 weeks. I feel absolutely amazing!!! The workouts are a lot of fun and don’t get easy. I love that every single class, Jesse and Gabe push you to work your hardest. No mater what fitness level you are at the workouts are for everyone. I just wish the fees were not so expensive to continue on.

Expérience positive: I recently finished the 6-week program with fantastic results. The meal plan was simple to follow, and the workouts were both challenging and satisfying. Beating up a bag for an hour seems to be a great stress reliever! Jesse and the staff were supportive and a pleasure to work with.

Expérience négative: I went to the quadra one, same owner. Horrible. The staff is deceitful, uses faulty equipment, favours some clients over others.

Expérience fantastique: I just finished the 6 week challenge, that was offered at the Langford location. I was able to drop down %7body fat and 18 lbs in just 6 weeks. I am in better shape then I have ever been ! Overall great work out! If you wanna get in shape these classes will get you where you want to be! Colin scagliati

Expérience fantastique: I was part of the 6 week challenge and have my final weigh-in coming up on Saturday. I beat the challenge at week 4 but I am still continuing right to the end and beyond because I enjoy it so much! The classes are great and I have made much further strides in 6 weeks than I have doing other types of fitness for a lot longer. If you want to sweat, get stronger, healthier and thinner then this is the place for you! I've met some really nice people that go there and it has a community feel. Thanks!!!

Expérience fantastique: I just finished participation in a promotional ‘6-week challenge’ hosted here at the Langford location. The 6 week challenge is essentially a small trial version of their more personalized, longer programs. Prior to joining the challenge, I had been having trouble with getting myself back into a routine of exercise and proper diet, with most attempts falling short. The team at skillz Langford gave me the accountability and support system I needed to help me break my bad habits and improve myself physically and mentally. I am proud to say that I will continue their program for the foreseeable future as I have never had so much fun exercising with such a great group of people.

Expérience négative: I had a pretty fun experience here, at first. The work outs are fun. Instructors are pretty cool.. However, it's ran by a bunch of money hungry scam artists. You do NOT get what you pay for here. Pay less and go to a real gym like Crusher Combat or Peterecs. Skillz has most definitely lost my business, along with a lot of other people that I know of. Do your research and ask around before giving these people any money. Or better yet, just listen to this review.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve trained kickboxing with both Jesse (the head trainer here) and Gabe (instructor) as well as with James (the owner) for years and they’re all awesome! Knowledgeable, energetic, encouraging, supportive - all combine to create an environment where you leave dripping with sweat and flush with endorphins - feeling much better than when you arrived! I highly recommend this place and these people for the workout of your life in a friendly and upbeat atmosphere! Give it a shot!!

Expérience négative: Worst place to go... do not waste your money

Expérience négative: My son really enjoyed the extreme class for the first few months, but the super high staff turn over rate and lack of discipline really bothered both him and I. He lost interest and instead of trying to win it back they just back burners him and threatened to kick him out. I am extremely disappointed in the Langford location.

Expérience fantastique: Such an amazing place with dedicated positive instructors!! The results are incredible!!

Expérience fantastique: This is hands down the best/most fun workout I can possibly get in 45 minutes! Self motivated gym time just doesn't work for me. The scheduled classes and accountability have helped me be more motivated to get my butt in gear, for sure. The instructors are personable, fun, make a point of getting to know you (and your name) and take a general interest in your fitness goals and life in general. I highly recommend Skillz :)

Expérience fantastique: Excellent classes with attentive, engaging, and enthusiastic instructors. The workouts can be a slog, but you can't argue with results! An effective whole body workout and stress relief that's fun.. what more would you want?

Expérience fantastique: My daughter loves it here!! It's fun with discipline and the instructors are great!!
