This record is filed as Beast Mode Fitness Tigard, on SW Nimbus Avenue in Tigard, Oregon. It holds a 4.9 rating from 124 Google reviews. Three things to sort out before you read them.
The simplest first: this record is stale. Every review dates from March to June 2020, so nobody has written about this place in over six years.
The Name Changed, And The Reviews Didn't
Every reviewer calls this place ILKB. "I joined ILKB because I like to work out." "I love ILKB Tigard!"
ILKB is iLoveKickboxing, a franchise chain. The record says Beast Mode Fitness, and the website is tigard.gobeastmode.com.
So this location appears to have rebranded, and the reviews, all from spring 2020, predate the change. I can't confirm what happened: whether it left the franchise, was bought, or simply renamed. What I can tell you is that a 4.9 earned under one brand, six years ago, is now attached to another. Factor that in.
Why does it matter? Because reviews praising specific instructors under the old banner, before the pandemic, tell you very little about the staff you'd meet today.
It's A Kickboxing Studio
This isn't a gym with a floor you use. Every single review describes classes.
A member in June 2020: "This gym is a true community, and having supportive instructors and classmates keeping you accountable for making progress is a great motivator. Not to mention that the workouts are thorough, varied, super intense, and fun."
A member in June 2020: "Is no words to describe how happy I feel here, I just love kickboxing."
Instructor-led kickboxing classes. No mention of weights, machines, cardio equipment or open gym time by anyone. If you wanted somewhere in Tigard to lift, this record isn't for you.
The Trial Is A Package
A member in March 2020 mentions something worth knowing: "After day 1 of the ten class trial package, I was immediately hooked."
A ten-class trial package. Not a free session, a package.
I don't know what it costs, and no reviewer says. But kickboxing franchises commonly run a cheap intro package that funnels into a membership conversation, and "trial" doing the work of "paid intro offer" is worth understanding before you walk in. Ask what the package costs, what happens when it ends, and what the ongoing membership commits you to.
That's not an accusation about this studio. It's the question I'd want answered anywhere the first product is a discounted block of classes.
Who Actually Likes It
The reviews are unusually specific about the atmosphere, and the theme is consistent enough that I believe it.
A member with a strength-sports background, in March 2020: "There was no reason to feel intimidated coming here because the instructors have been so patient with me and their other students, and it's so nice that although everyone is on a different level, it is so inclusive and you don't worry about comparing yourself to others."
Someone who already trains seriously saying beginners aren't compared to each other is a better signal than a beginner saying it.
A member in March 2020: "I never used to enjoy exercising until I became a member here. Now it's the best addiction! Difficult and fun all at once. A welcoming environment for all ages and fitness levels."
So: intense classes, no intimidation, mixed levels in one room. If you hate group settings and want to train alone with headphones, that's exactly the wrong pitch.
What's Missing
No opening hours, which for a studio that runs entirely on a class timetable is the single most important gap. No phone number. No pricing.
