I liked the exercises she does, it's different than the other places I've been to. When I went, she had us use a step, so we were doing step aerobics type of exercises which I haven't done in about 10 years, but we had a full body workout by the end of the session. The studio can probably accommodate about 10 - 12 clients per class. I like that she is constantly keeping an eye on all of us to correct our form while we are exercising. In addition to the power workouts, she also does nutrition and offers Pilates, yoga, and Zumba classes so you can take care of yourself mind, body, and spirit!

Following up with my previous review, Coach Kim continues to be the most talented and creative…read moretrainer I've ever seen. She knows how to make every class fun, engaging, and full of sweat while ensuring workouts are effective and personalized for every client. Her training programs are designed to push you to your limits while still being safe and enjoyable. She pays close attention to form, helping clients avoid injuries and maximize results. Beyond fitness, she's also a certified life coach who genuinely cares about her clients' overall well-being, making her sessions both physically and mentally rewarding. On top of that, her gym is always well-maintained, organized, and equipped for the best workout experience. If you're looking for a trainer who will challenge and inspire you while making fitness enjoyable, I highly recommend Kim Power Fitness!

I lost a ton of weight as well as put on a lot of strength, and also learned a lot as the trainers are super friendly, informative and educated. You can pretty much ask any trainer for advice and none will hold back from helping you. My main goal was to improve my overall health but my confidence is probably what got boosted the most. If you're looking for a private space with premium equipment and want to improve your health, without the premium price tag. This gym is for you.

It's not intimidating at all, like what you would feel at a commercial gym. We started this fitness journey around 5 years ago to lose weight and to be in the best shape of our lives for our wedding. With a combination of bootcamps and personal training, I had lost a total of 34 lbs leading up to our wedding, with the encouragement and guidance of all the trainers here. Niko is fantastic and will push you as hard as you're willing to go and sometimes will even challenge you a little further when he knows you can handle it! Even after our wedding in 2022, we still come back and exercise here.

I originally came in just wanting to fix my form and learn how to lift properly, and that's what…read moreI've been getting. Kacy is big on progression and basically operates under the assumption that you can always go up in weight, which has pushed my strength up (especially hip thrusts and RDLs). It's small group training, which keeps the energy up because everyone's working at the same time. He'll keep you accountable and make sure you finish your sets and there's a decent chance you'll leave with a random nickname you didn't ask for but it does keep things entertaining. In my first month I've already seen measurable changes in strength and body composition, so it's been interesting to see the progress show up pretty quickly. Curious to see what the next couple months look like.

I found Kacy through a friend and started training with him about 6 months postpartum. Before…read morehaving my baby, I ran casually ran a couple half marathons), did some indoor rock climbing, and dabbled with free weights on my own--but nothing too intense. I always seemed to over-strain something and end up injured, so I was pretty hesitant about jumping back into weight training after having a baby. That's when I decided to look for a personal trainer. From day one, I was impressed by Kacy's knowledge and expertise. He has this uncanny ability to gauge exactly how much I can lift just by watching me do a single set--which I'm guessing comes from years of experience, but it's still impressive to see in action. Here's the thing about Kacy that might throw you off at first: he often looks distracted, like he's not paying attention. But don't let that fool you! He's tracking everything--your form, your reps, your timing--and he'll call you out if you're slacking on your sets. It's actually kind of amazing how dialed in he is even when it doesn't look like it. If you're looking for a knowledgeable trainer who will push you and keep you accountable (even when you think he's not watching), Kacy's your guy. Highly recommend!

Phil and Johann are truly exceptional trainers who have transformed my health and lifestyle in ways…read moreI never thought possible. Living with type 1 diabetes for over 25 years means managing blood sugars around the clock--there are no days off. On top of that, working remotely left me stuck in a mostly sedentary lifestyle. I tried countless diets and fad HIIT classes, but nothing ever stuck. That all changed when I started training with Phil and Johann. With their guidance, I not only got my nutrition under control, but I also lost over 25 pounds in just 7 months. Even more importantly, I reduced my daily insulin intake by 50% and lowered my A1C levels--results that both my doctor and I are thrilled about. Beyond the numbers, I feel sharper, more confident, and happier. The brain fog is gone, my mental health is stronger, and (who would've thought?) I even became a gym girlie along the way. Phil and Johann bring a thoughtful, personalized approach to every workout and check-in. Phil makes sure my nutrition aligns perfectly with my goals, while Johann keeps training challenging but sustainable. They're both incredibly dedicated, attentive, and genuinely invested in my success. Their program works because it's tailored to you, sustainable for the long term, and backed by real support every step of the way.

At this rate, I'll be getting BBL accusations soon - but no, it's just the magic of these trainers! A special shoutout to Phillip, who's been a game-changer for my family. My dad had diabetes, and his A1C levels were too high. Phillip created a tailored meal plan for him and worked with him on a fitness plan that's helped him reverse his diabetes. Seeing my dad's health improve so dramatically has been incredible, and it's all thanks to Phillip's expertise and dedication. Johann brings an unbeatable energy to every class - it feels like a party, but you still get an intense, effective workout! Charlie is one of the most motivating trainers I've ever had - he has this way of encouraging you that makes you want to push yourself even when you think you can't.

I'm so thankful I found FIT Brea! Over the past several years that I've lived in the area, I've…read morebeen a part of various gyms (both chain and boutique) nearby. Having now experienced FIT Brea, I'm definitely kicking myself for not trying this gym out sooner. I've only done their group fitness classes so far, which range from 8-12ish people in size, and I'm looking forward to trying out the personal training sessions when my schedule opens up! Here are a few ways that make FIT Brea a standout: COACHING: The coaches here are the whole package! 1. They all have stellar credentials, with many of them holding advance degrees and multiple certifications. In short, they know their stuff. 2. At the risk of sounding facetious, I just want to make the point that the FIT Brea coaches actually coach. It might sound like a no-brainer, but it hasn't always been my experience that coaches do much more beyond demo-ing the moves and saying "good job" or "keep going" every few minutes, especially in a group class setting. Here, the coaches constantly move throughout the room to offer individualized pointers on form, differentiated movements depending on individual strength and mobility, alternative movements for injuries, and encouragement and motivation to keep pushing so I can get better and better. 3. They are all super patient, encouraging, and welcoming! PROGRAMMING: The programming for the group classes are thoughtfully and methodically designed. From what I can tell so far, the workouts are structured in mesocycles with a progressive overload pattern. This is important because if we do the same thing over and over, our bodies will adapt and we will not make appreciable gains over time. With progressive overload, our bodies are constantly challenged so that we can keep increasing strength and improving hypertrophy. COMMUNITY: The FIT Brea community is so nice and helpful. I felt welcomed by the coaches and the other patrons from day one. Several people who recognized that I was new introduced themselves and helped me find and set up various equipment. Others even put my plates and dumbbells back during transitions. Just last week, the whole class broke out into spontaneous applause and cheer when I pushed out that last rep of bench press, haha! The mutually encouraging environment really underpins the whole vibe and experience here. It's a special thing. MANAGEMENT: One of the things that I didn't realize would make a difference in my overall gym experience is having direct access to management/owner. In my past gym experiences, the questions/concerns I had would typically have to go up a chain of command before I got a response. Since FIT Brea is owner-operated, the patrons can directly talk to Andrew, the owner, who is so nice and provides exceptional customer service. SPACE/EQUIPMEMENT: It's spacious, well-maintained, clean, and an overall pleasant environment to train in. CLASS OFFERINGS: I'm a busy mom who works full-time hours plus daily commute. I'm thankful that classes are offered as early as 5am and as late as 6:30pm so that I can get my training time in! If you are looking for a gym where you can optimize and maximize your fitness goals (whatever they are), look no further because FIT Brea is it! I'm a serial Yelp sleuther and almost never write reviews, but my experience thus far has so far exceeded my expectations that I felt compelled to share this gem of a place with others!

Hello! I have been working with Alexis for over a year now…read moreand this is still one of the best decisions I've made in my entire life. It's crazy to see how much I've changed since a year ago. I now enjoy exercising and I go many times a week voluntarily, my diet has become a lot healthier and I'm actually cooking for myself, and I just feel like I'm having a lot of fun in my fitness journey :) Even after a year, I still learn a lot from Alexis. I think the best part is that I feel so good in my body now. I feel confident and my self-esteem has skyrocketed. I always joke around with Alexis and say "look what you did to me! I'm so strong and cute now!" because I firmly believe I could not have come this far without Alexis. Realistically, it's very hard and overwhelming to learn all the forms, technique, and nutrition all by yourself while working full time and having gym anxiety. It's so nice to have a trainer personalize workouts with your fitness goal in mind while being attentive about the importance of nutrition. I will always recommend Alexis. Please take a look at my one year progress photo as reference because it is so good! :) :)

Well, this review is about 4 years late but some things are better late than ever, right?…read more I first reached out to JP in 2016. At the time, I was going to the gym, following random workouts on social media, and eating to my hearts content. I had very little knowledge regarding training, body composition, and nutrition. After a few months of working with JP, I started to not only gain momentum with my training but also began to see drastic changes to my body. I was so convinced and confident of my progress that I decided to take it to the next level, and compete in NPC as a figure competitor. In April of 2017, I competed in my first NPC show and placed 1st in women's figure. JP's guidance helped me overcome some of my deepest insecurities. In addition to all the things a personal trainer is expected to teach you, weight training, cardio regimen, and nutrition. JP also indirectly helped me with my confidence, mental clarity, advanced methods to training and nutrition, how my body responds to different types of foods, and the list goes on. These photos speak for themselves. The success and results I achieved with the guidance of JP are beyond exceptional. Although these achievements are great, what I cherish the most is the knowledge I gained from working with JP. It is now 4 years later, and still sometimes I can hear his voice in my head during my own training sessions LOL. Thank you, JP. I am forever grateful.

I asked myself, "Self, is that what I want to be?" I decided to find a personal trainer, and I found JP. JP is very different than many other trainers that I talked to who try to say many good things about training and attempt to get you in. The first thing I was told is "It is going to be tough, and it is all about you. Are you sure you want to do this?" I knew I was at the right place the moment I heard this because JP does not sugarcoat the challenges that I will face to get my business but serious about training me and helping me to reach my goal. The journey is challenging but fun. JP is dedicated and knowledgeable. He always tries to push you to a limit while paying great attention to the form and your reaction to make sure you do not get hurt. Trough out the time that I train with him, my body does fill sore but not pain. He also designs the session to train different muscle groups in a different way and different date so the muscles have enough time to recover. Besides training knowledge, he is also a very positive person who always shows his passion for helping others to be better. To me, JP is more than just a trainer but friend. I am glad that I met him and will keep up my journey with him.
