This review is long overdue as I am a busy mama but I hope this helps someone find their new home gym! In 2023, my 10-year-old son was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. As a mom, I knew we had to make a serious change to help him heal and build a healthier lifestyle. I signed him up at Kindred Fitness, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made for him. With the support of the coaches and members, he felt welcomed from day one. He learned how to properly lift weights, stay active, and completely shift his habits. Some people warned me that lifting weights at his age would slow or even stop his growth -- but they were wrong. Today, he's 13 years old, 5'8", growing above average, stronger than ever, and most importantly, his blood sugars are under control. I'm incredibly grateful to the owners, Leoni and Vanna. They are amazing people who truly care. This community is so supportive that I feel completely safe dropping my son off for class, knowing he's in good hands. Kindred Fitness didn't just help my son get stronger -- it helped change our lives. Forever Thankful! read more

If you are ready to get back into a fitness routine - Kindred is your place! CrossFit Kindred has a new location on Quimby and Capitol and this facility is more spacious and has more amenities than the previous location. All fitness levels are welcomed and all movements can be modified to suit your skills. The coaches are very patient and knowledgeable. Aside from that, they are serious about sanitizing gym equipment and keeping everything clean. Like most people during the pandemic - I bought a Peloton and bike at home. I love going to Kindred on my strength training days and I find it compliments my workout routines. Let's be honest, I don't push myself as hard as I do when Coach Leonie is leading the workouts. I look forward to getting back into the swing of things at Kindred. If you are considering a change or need sign to workout - this is it! read more

The best CrossFit gym ever! Welcoming environment. Knowledgeable and clean facility. Leonie and Vanna are absolutely amazing. You will not find a more inclusive and encouraging gym. read more

Did a trial class week last week and so far I love it here. Leoni(the owner) is super charismatic and knowledgable. The community cheered me on and greeted me at the end. It was an incredibly welcoming environment and I am definitely coming back. I'll update a review on my CrossFit journey in a few months! read more

CrossFit Kindred - Results Never Lie! - Gyms Near Me - San Jose, California

By far my best experience with a gym. If you want to be encouraged, held accountable and coached by experts, this is where you want to be! They work with all levels, they modify or scale down based on your level. They are also very attentive if you have any injuries, they will ask you so any movement can be modified to accommodate the injury. I seriously cannot put into words how wonderful the vibe is at Crossfit Kindred. You should come and experience it for yourself. read more

Solid box with great leadership. I've been working out at Kindred for a few months now. It's my first time getting back into crossfit in 4 years after a crossfit injury and subsequent surgery took me out of the game for a while. Coach Janet helped scale and modify the WODs around my injury while still pushing me hard to progress. Really appreciated the focus on movement, technique, and mobility at the gym. Don't doubt Janet, she may be tiny but like the Energizer Bunny she's full of energy and will punch you in the butt if you're slacking off. read more

I just started going to Kindred. I am not a regular member but pay the drop in. I love how they treat me the same as if I am there daily paying for a full membership. Vanna & Leonie are amazing coaches and will push you in a way that is gentle yet makes you work harder. They work hard to format the class to avoid injuries as well. This place is great for beginners. read more

Hands down one of the best CrossFit gym in town. The owners Vanna and Leonie run a very clean and organized operation and have created a special community. I have been coming here for years and have brought my interns to work out and join the gym. Leonie is a very passionate coach and her knowledge about movement and connecting with the athlete is unmatched. Also, I am inspired by her sense of style every time I go there. Work schedule has prevented me from coming lately but there's not a day that goes by that I miss coming to this gym. read more

If you are out of shape and have some additional thickness on your body, even maybe all over if not in some places you would prefer it be absent, this is the place for you! As a fatty who loves chocolate cake and making excuses to refrain from activities that make you sweat well than your just like ME and this place will make you feel like the MISSING FAMILY you have needed all your life but maybe didn't know it! I have loved every second of the torture of making my body sweat and move in ways I didn't know it could, using muscles I never knew existed! Leonie and Vanna are great at making you feel welcomed like you have known them all your life and they want you to come sit at the table and eat with them. Everyone that I have met is encouraging, says hi, talks to you and encourages you! It's a great family to be a part of and if I was able to work out for three days with out 911 being called well than you can too! Believe me.....if I can do it so can you! Come and try a free class meet great coaches and great people! Grow your family even if it's big the more the merrier! read more

If I could, I'd give this place 10 stars. I've tried everything to keep myself in shape: personal trainers, bootcamps, p90x, insanity... and the list goes on. After months of complaining about my lack of physical activity, my boyfriend suggested I should try Crossfit. I've heard about Crossfit before and saw all those memes floating around online making fun of it but never actually looked into it so I called up a few boxes and scheduled intro sessions. A few actually scared me away... They're INTENSE. Most of the Crossfit boxes were just ok - nothing stood out about them that made me want to join. DUN DUN DUN! After a few weeks of searching, I found Crossfit Kindred! I scheduled an into session with Jeff (one of the owners and coaches) and got my behind handed to me. I've always thought I was in decent shape all my life but man was I wrong. In one 15 minute workout, I was exhausted and on the floor. After giving me some recovery time, Jeff was super nice and walked me though all the information and answered all my questions. What I loved best was he was not at all pushy. He gave me all the info papers and told me that I could go home and think about it. Which sold me right then and there and I signed up on the spot. Fast forward 6 months later and I'm still here! This is the most consistent I've ever been with working out and I never thought I'd ever get to the point of waking up at 8AM wanting to work out and head to CFK. I come for the work outs, I stay for the coaches and other members. CFK has the most family oriented atmosphere I've ever seen at a box. The box is perfect for new students as well as seasoned cross fitters. Both coaches Jeff and Cindy take pride in making sure everyone is technically sound with their movements to avoid injury and for efficiency. If you don't understand the movements, they walk you through it step by step thoroughly explaining what the move is for and why it's done. They are definitely knowledgeable and will always answer any questions you might have with movements, diets, or even about life ;) If you're looking for a great workout and great people, this is the place for you! read more

I started coming to Crossfit Kindred about a month ago and really love the vibe here. My sister works out here so I decided to give it a try with a super good deal they had. I do enjoy the different workout they create for everyone to do. Its nice that there is a community of supportive members to help make the workout easier (as much as I think the workout is super hard). Despite where its located getting to a from, the traffic can be chaotic but don't let that stop you from attending. I think if anyone want to try out cross fit for the first time this place is the place to go. The first class is free! read more

Can I give 375662678123967891236789123 stars instead? I can't really describe in words how amazing this place is and how much love I have for the members and coaches! I've only been doing crossfit for about 5 months and I went from doing it 2 to 3 times a week to 4 or 5 and sometimes even 6 times a week!! The only thing that I look forward to every day, other than eating, is going to Crossfit Kindred to crossfit my butt off!! read more

Was in town visiting family around the holidays and stopped in to get a workout in amidst all the eating and lounging around. the coaching staff was extremely welcoming, made sure i understood all the movements unique to this box, and made sure everybody introduced themselves to me. By the end of the WOD even people showing up for the next class were cheering me on by name and introduced themselves before i left. And the drop-in was free of charge. this is the kind of Box attitude and culture you look for read more

Jeff and Cindy the dynamic duo of crossfit. They will both push you to your limit and warn you to keep away from the ledge. It's like they actually care. The location is a pain because of traffic, but I consider Crossfit Kindred worth the pain of traffic to attend. They gym itself is very small and the people that attend are a great group of folks. I look forward to every sucky workout they have for me and I love the fact that I have a great group of crossfitters to cheer me on and help me out. I really appreciate the coaches and and the fellow crossfitters there. So glad I joined! read more

I have been a member of this community for seven months now. I am working out consistently for longer than I ever have in my life. I owe this to Kindred. This gym is special and different from many other places for two main reasons: 1) You can't be the price. 2) You can't beat the ammount of support you get from this community. I am new to San Jose and California and joining this gym has been a way for me to meet new people and get to know the best places to eat around San Jose. When you come in for the first time you will be greeted by everyone. When you leave, everyone will say goodbye. It's the little things like these that make this place my second home. You will get stronger and you will live a healthier lifestyle after working out here. read more

I was in SJ for 2 months and I was looking to find a box where I could keep up with my Olympic lifts. I discovered that Kindred was extremely close to where I was staying, so I decided to check it out. In 2 months time, I learned so much more than I could have expected and I slowly began to feel like Kindred was a home away from home. I only participated in the Olympic weightlifting program, so this review is with respect to that. Coach Jeff is one of the most down-to-earth, honest, and knowledgeable people I have ever worked with. I learned something new from him during every single session and the amount of attention he gave to help me improve on my flaws was amazing! I was able to hit my Clean and Jerk PR during my time here, so that is something I will never forget! read more

I don't write very many reviews on Yelp unless I feel that that place is THAT awesome to even mention. So here it goes. I'm a working mother of 2 young kiddos. Time to me is very precious. I have tried working out on my own and with a trainer but all ended with the same results - me wasting money because I didn't go or ended up with no results. I wanted to find something that would have me working out smarter not harder. I'm not the most fit person the world. Heck, I'm not fit PERIOD. A friend had suggested Crossfit to me awhile ago and that thought of it made me want to curl into the fetal position. After years of avoiding, I finally did some research and found Kindred. It's a small gym but it packs a big hearted community. The coaches, Jeff and Cindy, are awesome. I had this image of drill sargents barking orders at me and belittling me. They have built a safe place for anyone of any fitness level to feel they can conquer any workout and feel accomplished. The people I've met here have been awesome as well. Everyone is helpful and everyone is rooting for you to finish strong. I'm not going to say that this whole time I've been here it has changed my body drastically but I can say that being here has change my mental thoughts about what I am capable of achieving. Yes, all my friends and family believe I have drank "the Kool-aid". But if it gets me to feel good about working out and gets my ass to the box to work out, what's the problem? To sum this all up: if you are looking for a place to workout in an awesome environment with awesome coaches, Kindred is the place to be. BTW: They also have Crossfit for kids on Saturday mornings. My son went once, he loved it. Would have gone more often but had schedule conflicts. read more

I did a couple of workouts here while being home on emergency leave. My in laws live near this place so i figure i check em out. This place is brand new located on Tully by Chuck E. Cheese. The facility is really clean and spacious enough to do all your Crossfit movements. The space behind the warehouse provides running routes and group stretch and other outdoor WODS. The head trainer/owner (Jeff Muya) greeted me with a professional and welcoming attitude as he walked me throughout the facility. In the front was a check in counter with a computer and shirts for sale that were displayed on the wall. You walk through the hallway, past the bathrooms and come to the main floor where all the magic happens. pull up rigs, rings, rower, medicine balls, squat racks are just some of the equipment that was in their arsenal. rubber matting lined the whole warehouse floor for maximum non slip grip and the huge garage door provide easy access to the back lot. In my 3 days that i worked out there, Jeff ran his classes like a pro! We would warm up with some light stretching and some bodyweight movements to get the blood pumping and to loosen the joints. He would explain the workout of the day and then go into the standards for what each movement had to be in order to count as a rep. The personal attention you get while executing the movements during the workout made me feel like he was watching out for proper form and safety. Post workout consisted of light stretching and a handful of mobility movements to ease recovery. Overall, I highly recommend any experienced and newly inspired crossfiters to give them a try and learn something new. I myself have been crossfitting for about a year and have recently completed Level 1 trainer course, but just discussing and sharing crossfit knowledge/articles with Jeff, I was able to take away some things that improved my understanding of fitness. He has several options for membership and provides various discounts so make sure to ask! Stop making excuses and start today! Their currently having a 2 week trial! =) read more

Leonie, Vanna, and George! What a great group of coaches. CrossFit Kindred lives up to their name, and i'd be lying if I didn't admit i'm looking for that same level of camaraderie out here in Boston (haven't found anything like CrossFit Kindred here yet though). I've been to so many boxes since I first began crossFit October of 2015 I think it was, but there wasn't much of an incentive for me to stay with any one box. To me, CrossFit was something I could access anywhere, any place. BUT within just one month (really instantly) I felt like CrossFit Kindred reached a special place in my heart. Kindred really stands in a league of their own. From their excellent coaches (they're damn funny and cool too), to their amazing app (nice touch by the way), to even using colored crayons to make the numbers on the weights easier to see for people with poor eyesight like me haha, I will sincerely miss this box. Thank you for the awesome energy and for showing me what a real community looks like. But more importantly, thank you for getting me to nail those kipping pull-ups after all my years of struggle :') Thank you Crossfit Kindred! xx read more

Awesome place to workout! Coaches do a great job to give everyone equal attention to help improve form and fitness! The owners give it a community feel! Highly recommend this box! read more

Great community, amazing coaches and clean facility! I am so impressed with this gym and the owners. The staff is dedicated to improving the health of each member and are truly connected to the east side San Jose community. Great to see members changing their lives with a little help from this gym. read more

Awesome place to work out. Just finished my 1st 6 weeks challenge and I had the best support ever. All the coaches are great and very helpful. Give Crossfit kindred a chance and I can guarantee you will love this place read more

I have been Crossfitting for a little over a year now and began my training at a Crossfit box in Fremont. I moved to San Jose and had to find a local Crossfit box that had the same family feel environment. I searched around the San Jose area, finding out that most Crossfit boxes were overpriced and over populated. It was very important to me that the box that I trained at had dedicated trainers that focused on their students using proper technique. I began working out at Crossfit Kindred in October of 2011 with Jeff Muya (Head Trainer). I appreciate his involvement in my training and value the skills that he brings to each training session. Jeff's training philosophy is getting back to the basics. Throughout my years of working out, this has been the first time ever that I have been able to do back squats with perfect form. I highly recommend Crossfit Kindred to anyone looking for a family oriented gym that has a dedicated, motivating and friendly community to get in shape with. read more

I lost a total of 16 pounds. I know I could've lost more. I participated in a 6 week fitness challenge which includes fitness, nutritional support and most importantly accountability. Honestly, that's where I struggled with . It was easy to make excuses with no accountability. The last couple weeks, obstacles came up. But the team of coaches still held me accountable, and I respect that. If you're looking for results, and not just a gym but real results, check out Crossfit Kindered off Tully. It's a fun safe environment where you will learn how to be fit and healthy. The meal plans are so doable and never left me hungry. Thank you coaches! read more

My coach is a pain...and this is an excellent thing because my workouts kick a-double-s. I joined in for the introductory boot camp to jump start my conditioning and join the regular workouts down the road. I honestly didn't know what to expect because I was seriously intimidated by the cross fit movement. I am so glad I took the leap because I just fell in love with the community of coaches and members. As I was wheezing and praying to God to end my suffering, I would hear someone encourage me to keep moving...to finish strong. It really is amazing what your body can do. I am always last on the mile and I whine when burpees are part of the workout, but thanks to my coaches and the other members...I finish and feel accomplished for not quitting. They help me build grit when I would rather quit. Try it...they can help anyone reach their personal best. What's to lose? read more

I have been doing crossfit for about 5 years now, primarily at another crossfit gym in San Jose, and decided to switch to CF Kindred recently after realizing that I was no longer getting results at the old place. I quickly realized that the way the program operates at Kindred was totally different and miles better than my old gym. Kindred is a relatively new gym, just over a year old as I write the review. Because it is so new, the members tend to be newer to crossfit and not the typical veteran "firebreather" types. If you are brand new to crossfit, or are simply curious to find out more about the crossfit movement, Kindred is a perfect place to go. Jeff and Cindy, who are the owners and trainers, are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. They are highly detail oriented and very hands on with their coaching. They tailor workouts to individual skill levels, so whether you are a rank beginner or a 5 year crossfit veteran, you will always perform at your appropriate level. This is important as it also reduces the risk of injury. No one pushes you to exceed your level of ability, which is a common thing at many crossfit gyms unfortunately and contributes to the notion that crossfitters are crazed cultists who literally kill themselves physically. Yes, it is true that crossfit workouts are intense and push you beyond your comfort level, but there is a distinct difference between a good high intensity workout and pushing hard in a crazed ego driven rage. As far as Kindred's facilities go, it's a smaller gym compared to other crossfit gyms in the area, and equipment can be an issue with larger classes, but generally class size is small and there are enough plates, bars, kettlebells, etc for everyone. The best thing about it being a small gym with smaller classes is that the sense of community is awesome. You quickly get to know everyone and there is a wonderful sense of camaraderie which in my opinion is not possible at the larger crossfit gyms in the area. Crossfit began as a bit of a community driven grass roots thing and the reality is that as it has become more popular and mainstream over the years, some gyms have failed to capture the community spirit or have lost it over time. Luckily Kindred has that community spirit and that is a reflection of Jeff and Cindy. While other gyms refer to their members as "athletes", members at Kindred are "students" which to me says a lot about how thing work there. Members constantly learn and grow, much like in any academic environment, but you also have a lot of fun along the way. The individual success stories of members at Kindred are really inspiring, even to me after 5 years of crossfitting. So, if you are reading this, chances are you are checking out all the crossfit gyms in the area. Don't underestimate the value of a smaller gym like Kindred. Really pay attention to the sense of community at other gyms. Watch how much instruction the coaches really provide in relation to class sizes. As a beginner, individual attention and instruction is incredibly important to ensure a good positive experience and safety. Like the little engine that could, Kindred isn't big and flashy like some of the other gyms, but it makes up for it with a big heart and a program that lets you focus on a pace that is best for you. read more

By far this is the best CrossFit family I could ever ask for. I began this get fit journey a little over 6 months ago and I have to say I have NO regrets. I'm not gonna lie I was scurred the first day of "Boot Camp" but I showed up ready to work. And that's the thing showing up is half the battle. That combined with an amazing group of trainers/coaches who are dedicated to help you reach your goal. Truth be told I have a love hate relationship with my coach but I really appreciate him for not giving up on me. I truly feel like this is my second home (aside from Disneyland). I love my 6am crew and what I love most is that we all push one another. I know this may sound corny but I am so thankful for Vanna and Leonie, for following their dream of owning their own business. Without them I don't know if I would have even given crossFit a chance but I am so glad I did. If your looking for a no pressure, get fit box, stop by and check out CrossFit Kindred and get your WOD on!! read more

Started CrossFit Kindred over a month ago. There are a lot of great things about Kindred. Don't let the location turn you off. I know traffic can be a headache there with all the construction but it's worth it. The workouts are awesome and you'll definitely see results and improvements. You'll definitely be pushed whenever you're there but they're also about getting the techniques down. One of the things I enjoy most about going there is how community minded the space is. they are welcoming, friendly, and encouraging. This also goes for the members that come here! definitely check them out. read more

My son is currently enrolled in their strength and conditioning classes for kids. It has helped him tremendously, from improving his speed and agility for basketball to helping him enjoy fitness. I truly appreciate Leonie and Vanna's passion! Leonie is an amazing coach, very patient and motivating but also pushing the kids to their physical fitness potential. The atmosphere is that of an open family environment everyone is so nice and encouraging. The gym is very clean, and always has upbeat music going. It's definitely the place to go for the whole entire family! read more

I wish I could give this place 6 stars. Classes are relatively small, instruction is detailed to prevent injury and form good habits, and your fellow Beasts are warm and welcoming. If you like Crossfit already, this is the place to be in San Jose. If you've never done it before, then this box is a safe and welcoming place to try it out. I am relatively new to Crossfit myself and I always feel supported when I am there and like I am truly a part of this little awesome community. CrossFit Kindred is so over the top great that I want to attend class as often as possible, even when my muscles are aching and I know that at the end of my workout there is a 50/50 chance I will want to vomit. I absolutely love it and I think you will too! read more

I have been a member since June 2015 and have seen major growth in a short amount of time. Prior to CFK, I worked out at Orangetheory Fitness in Willow Glen which was fun, but I felt like it was not challenging enough after awhile. The best part about CFK is you do not have jam packed classes and there are no waitlists like popular gyms. If there is not enough space inside, the coaches make room outside! With the recent expansion, there is plenty of room for everyone :) When people say there is a sense of community here, they are not joking. After my very first workout, I was invited to a CFK outing that same day where I was introduced to other members. I instantly felt welcomed and am happy there are no cliques here. There is so much more I could say, but you honestly have to experience it yourself. read more

I moved to Crossfit Kindred from another crossfit gym about 5 months ago because I was looking for better camaraderie than what was at my current gym. I, without a doubt, found it here. The classes are small so there's always enough equipment for everyone and the coaches aren't spread too thin so they can pay equal attention to everyone. All the members here are very laid back and I've made some great friends. It's a very encouraging and supportive environment. We are all there to help each other do our best. We also like to do fun things outside the gym like participate in local competitions or just check out BBQ joints! If anyone is looking to get fit and make great friends, this is the place for you. I used to dread going to the gym because of the environment. Now I look forward to it, even after a 9 hour work day! read more

I have been a member of CrossFit Kindred since the new owners took over in May of last year. My experience has been nothing but amazing. Leonie and Vanna know how to build and maintain an inclusive, thriving, and hard working community. As someone who has been doing Crossfit for the past 3 years, I can say this box/gym is like none other. I am stronger and more motivated here than I ever have been in fitness. Thank you guys! read more

This review is from the point of view of a new member and not a seasoned crossfire athlete. I have been going off and on for the last couple of months. The gym and classes are designed to cater people of all skills and get them better. Classes are small and the trainers care about every athlete in the gym. There is no fuss, lots of encouragement and there is absolutely no pressure. I have really enjoyed every class. I know this place has a lot of five star reviews and it is all well deserved. I read a few of them before I signed up and it is not an exaggeration. read more

If you're looking for a killer workout with knowledgeable coaches that pushes you to results this is a great place for you. CrossFit is no joke. The workouts there are incredible and are damn near impossible to replicate at a normal gym like 24 Hour Fitness. What makes Kindred the place to be are the coaches and its people. The coaches, Jeff & Cindy, take their time to understand your goals and abilities and pushes you accordingly. I was there for several months and improved my fitness by leaps. I even improved my flexibility! The people who regular at Kindred are very friendly and supportive. The culture is definitely family oriented. That was another huge draw I didn't know I even wanted. Classes - Classes are an hour and are good sized. You won't get lost in the crowd. There is a great mix of genders and ages as well. Some evening classes do get packed. Variety - They offer different classes base on ability. They even have courses specifically for Olympic weightlifting and kids. They offer open gym but the hours aren't all day. Coaches - Friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. They're certified to boot. There's only 2 at the moment. Equipment - There is enough equipment to support the class sizes for the workouts. Bars, kettle bells, weighed balls, jump ropes and weights are a plenty. For large classes you may have to share pull-up bars. Layout - The gym is not huge but don't let that fool you. You'll get that workout you're looking for with your classmates no problem. The gym is well maintained: clean, organized and welcoming. They offer free trials if you ask. read more

I was in San Jose recently for only one week. I was in search of a CrossFit gym and quickly learned I had lots of options in the area. I stumbled upon CrossFit Kindred and discovered they were a fairly new gym. Owner Jeff Muya was the first person I met and I was very impressed with his kindness. The classes were great and tailored to all level athletes in the class. His coaching was supportive, motivating, and knowledgeable. This gym truly embraces the CrossFit concept of community and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unpretentious, nonsense community based gym. read more

I have been going to this gym for a little over a year and never knew about Crossfit prior to joining this gym. I was looking for a new way to exercise and this kind of workout was very intriguing. I was super intimidated by the movements, weights and seeing everyone do such a great job in the beginning, and am glad I decided to give it a shot. The coaches, Jeff, Cindy and George are great! They showed me proper technique and gave me the constant support and push I needed to start becoming more confident. I am very happy with how far I have come since a year ago and credit this to my coaches and my hard work. As a community, I believe this is one of the major strengths of this gym. Though it is not one of the biggest "boxes" out there, it has a strong community presence of people who are all of the same mindset. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Although we are all of different skill sets and strengths, it makes all the difference when people encourage you and give you that high five for doing your best. Crossfit Kindred is definitely a place for community, family and positive energy! If you are looking for a new place or kind of way to work out, it is definitely worth giving this place a try. read more
