KB and her studio are ONE OF A KIND. In this day and age with all the 24 Hour Fitnesses, City Sports, and big box gyms, it's refreshing to find a gym that is more personal. From the moment I first met KB at her studio I immediately saw that has the biggest heart and such a passion for what she does. You can't help but get invigorated with working out with her! read more

KB Fitness Studio has it all: pilates reformer (my favorite), yoga (stretch class), boot camp, personal private training, weight lifting, and floor pilates. KB, the owner, also offers virtual classes now. KB is an excellent trainer and has extensive training with a Masters in physiology. She knows and understands anatomy and physiology. Whether you're a seasoned athlete, someone that needs to get back into shape, or someone needing to rehab an injury or strengthen your core, I highly recommend KB Fitness. I've been a member for 15 years now. Her one-on-one sessions are the bomb and will whip you into shape without the risk of injury. read more

I discovered this place via a Living Social deal -- perfect timing too, since I had just quit my 24 Hour Fitness membership. I've tried group exercise classes a few times before, but never really enjoyed them -- mainly because I'm completely uncoordinated and like to do whatever I feel like at the time. My first two weeks here were actually slightly disappointing -- the classes I was attending were barely offering me slight toning. I would walk out of an hour of class not even fazed at all, and actually started walking 4 miles round trip to class just to try get a decent workout for the day. My last few classes have been great though -- all of them taught by KB. Don't get me wrong... the other instructors are wonderful as well, but definitely lower intensity. All staff and members are great -- very positive environment. Pilates Reformer classes are nice because there are only 5 people max per class, so definitely a lot of individualized attention. The other classes allow more people, but you still have to sign up for the class ahead of time to make sure you get a spot. Some classes fill up quick, but some you can call and sign up for a few hours before class. KB Fitness used to be located on Blossom Hill Road tucked in the corner by Sports Authority, but as of this month, moved to the Almaden Plaza next to See's Candies (also in the same shopping center as Costco, Ross, and Trader Joe's). The new location is much larger and has air conditioning. I'm not sure what the babysitting policy is here, but I've seen people bring in their kids and still be able to attend a class, so it seems like a good choice for moms. Happy Mother's Day! read more

Great studio! I come here for the Pilates Reformer classes and love the individual attention. It's max 5 students in a class, so that means no slacking off - you *will* be noticed if you're doing it wrong! ;) It's very casual here, but as someone else pointed out, different instructors have different styles (and different levels of chatting). Take a few classes to find who is best for you. KB herself is a fantastic instructor who always brings the pain (in a good way). ;) I need more people to come here so we can get more Reformer classes going in the evenings! There are lots of other classes but I've only come for the pilates. I always see happy and sweaty people leaving the group exercise room when I'm there, so that's got to be a good sign. ;) read more

Wow. I walked out of KB Fitness couldnt believe what I just heard. If you are considering going to this place after buying the groupon, dont even think about it. I walked in asking for the rate of membership. After that, I told them Im gonna buy the groupon first before even consider the membership. They told me the owner hates the groupon people and dont even mentioned the word groupon to her. She was at the front desk and seemed to ignore every one else. Not friendly, more like a rude lady. I was like wow?! Then why do you guys even sell groupon for, then look down on the people who buys and uses it. I talked to a few other people and they said the owner called them the "couponers" wow... Wow.... How dare you look down on someone. The gym overall looks old and boring. Thanks god I havent bought the groupon yet. read more

I've been going about once a week for about 6 months. I've taken mostly yoga classes at KB, so I can only speak for those types of classes. I don't want to mention names, but some teachers are really great and some are annoying. One particular teacher spent the entire class talking about how exhausting a recent business trip was. But another teacher is very nurturing and has a great teaching style. Many of the students seem to have been there a long time and to know each other well. That is great, but a lot of times they'll carry on conversations during class. Some people may like that, but I go for quiet and calm. I find it hard to concentrate at this studio. This being said, if you're looking for a studio that is welcoming, for beginners, and not intimidating- this is a good place. KB herself gives excellent classes, and has a great teaching style. If you're more advanced and like a more meditative practice(at least in yoga), I'd suggest you look elsewhere Pros * KB is very friendly and welcoming. She remembers everyone's name. * Water is included in your membership. Very nice to be able to get a free bottle of water if you forget your own. * Price is very reasonable compared to other areas. * Very clean studio and bathroom. Cons * Yoga classes are for beginners only. Most of the ones I've attended have been populated by ladies over 50. Much respect to them for taking yoga, but I'm younger and want to be challenged more. Sometimes I hold back because I don't want it to seem like I'm showing off. * Studio is always FREEZING in the winter. Not good for yoga. * The studio is LOUD. Definitely not conducive for the meditative aspects of yoga. You can hear the conversations of people in the waiting room or Reformer area. read more

Thumbs up for a free pilates reformer session! Their website offers a coupon that is good for one free class at their studio. We (my friend and I) chose the Pilates reformer class. It was interesting to note the class size, 5 person max. I figured it would be more one-on-one since most people need help with the machinery. Note: reformers classes must be scheduled in advance. We didn't realize they switched locations till our gps' sent us to their old one. I was just thankful we would still be able to participate in the reformer class even when late. The staff is generally friendly and I recently found out that they provide water and towels! Anyways, the reformer class was interesting and surprisingly effective! We were BOTH sore the next day. I guess we were doing something right. I'm continuing my 30 day, unlimited class, membership that I bought on living social. I took the ujam class and much to my surprise, it uses the same routines as 24hour fitness. I asked the instructor after class, who is super cute and friendly, about the routine and she confirmed they learn from the same place. I'll be back again for more classes. I definitely want to try the trampoline class. I just wish this place wasn't so far from home. read more

My husband and I LOVE KB Fitness, especially the Pilates Reformer class. We are regulars at the Saturday 8AM class and look forward to it all week long. KB Fitness doesn't have that yucky "gym" feel. You know the one I'm talking about --where people are all "look at me" "look how cute I am in my matching outfit". I'm lucky if I can find matching socks at 7:30 in the morning, let alone a matching top and bottom. The other classes (Zumba and U-Jam) are fun as well, and you feel like you've actually accomplished something when you leave. KB, the owner, knows her stuff. She's tough, but keeps us motivated and feeling great. Why else would I get up at the crack of dawn on Saturday? read more

WOW, what a great deal! I just bought the Groupon 10 Pilates Reformer class for $79 and created a profile and made an appointment on their online website. Having the online booking engine was really helpful. KB Fitness is next to TJ Maxx and Sees Candy. Once I got there, check in was easy and the class started on time. TIP: Pilates Reformer classes fill up really quick because they only have 8 spots so book about 3-5 days in advance. This is my first time at a pilates class and the teacher was really helpful telling us what spring colors to choose for resistance. I highly recommend this class for a full total body workout. This is a great strength training class to compliment yoga. I'm definitely looking forward to going back! read more

I found KB when searching Yelp! for exercise classes in San Jose. Thank you, fellow Yelpers for leading me to what I hope will be the answer to my fitness needs! After browsing a few reviews, I went online to their website, and filled out a contact form. I was pleasantly surprised to find that minutes after I submitted my online inquiry, I already had a response waiting for me in my email inbox form KB herself! :-) All the questions I asked in my email were thoroughly answered, and KB was very friendly and informative throughout her email. She even shared that all new members are offered a free trial class, which was something I overlooked while searching their website. I was very impressed with the outstanding customer service! So, I called the studio to schedule my free trial class, and KB answered the phone. She immediately remembered who I was, and thoroughly explained all the class options to me, asked about my fitness goals and concerns, and I felt as though she really took the time to understand my needs. After listening to all my questions, she recommended I give the Pilates Reformer class a try. I am very excited to say I will be heading to the PR class this Saturday morning! I will be sure to post a follow up review after, but for now, an enthusiastic 5-stars for outstanding customer service and a friendly attitude! (So far, this place is NOTHING like your typical health club, and I have to say, I couldn't be happier about it!) read more

I bought a Groupon for the Pilates Reformer classes and it was well worth it. I took almost all the classes with KB. She is friendly, fun, and encouraging. People in the class are nice and most seem to be regulars. Oftentimes, I felt out of loop of what they were discussing but it's okay because I came for the workout. Reformer is probably the best exercise to help my posture and back. Moreover, the exercises toned my core, arms, and legs... in other words, it's the best full body workout. Most reformer classes in the area are expensive and I wouldn't say this place is cheap but it's honestly the most affordable. Sometimes it is hard to book Saturday classes because they fill up so quickly. I would attend the classes on the weekdays but the commute from work (in Foster City) is long. I would return for the reformer classes if I had a job in the South Bay but as of now, I will just have to recommend it to others. :) read more

In addition to the Pilates Reformer classes, I've taken Piloxing the Yoga/Pilates Fusion. Piloxing class was just okay for me. Judging by the name, I came to the class expecting a ton of pilates moves while incorporating boxing in a feminine way. However, it seemed more like a dance class--with repetitive ballet-ish moves synchronized with music. It wasn't until the last 15-10 minutes, when we actually went on the mat and did some pilates. Don't get me wrong, the instructor was energetic and great and one of my friends actually really enjoyed the class. I am just a bit lazy and don't enjoy a lot of cardio... The Yoga/Pilates fusion was taught by KB (who is the owner). She is friendly and encouraging and makes sure the class is challenging enough for everyone. My favorite part about this class is that KB made sure we worked out every single part of our body. Unfortunately, my one month pass has run out and I probably will not be renewing. Overall, I really enjoyed the Yoga/Pilates fusion class and the reformers. However, I don't think I want to pay a monthly fee to work out only 2x a week (the only times that worked for me) + $20 each additional reformers class. read more

I really like this place after they moved to the new location. I came to the small location once after I bought the groupon, however, it looked small and there was not really the front desk section so, i was not so excited and I did not start my membership until now at the new location. The new location is clean , neat and nice. They provide you towel and bottle of water for your work out section as well. I been doing zumba class so far, the class is not crowded which is really good and helpful if u wanna learn. The teacher is nice as well and I am looking forward to Zumba class every week now. read more

KB Fitness is just amazing! You can try anything you want from pilates reformer to TRX to trampoline!!! If you are like me and try everything, this is the place to be. Plus KB is such an inspiring woman. She is always here to motivate you. She is tough but I guess that is why I like her so much. I also do the bootcamp class where Lucas kick our ass everytime !! Such a good workout! Keep on going guys! KB you are the BEST! read more

It's hard enough getting my feet to move to a choreographed routine AND you want my hands to move too? You're out of your mind!!! Ok fine, I'm just a little uncoordinated for the two to move in different directions at the same time, but boy is piloxing a great workout and fun too! I heard about KB Fitness through a girl at work because she was the instructor for the class. I thought I'd try it out because I heard it was the new "in" thing. It's a barefooted class, so don't worry about shoes. You do a lot of pilates/ dance moves (hence why i was flopping all over the place.. not a pretty sight) as well as a series of punches. By the end of the class I couldn't even see because I was dripping so much sweat off my face. You walk in and sign-up on the sign up sheet and the receptionist gives you a tour. It's a fairly small place with 2 group exercise room and one Pilates-reformers room. They have classes such as UJAM, Piloxing, and a trampoline fitness class! What's great is you get a free trial class before you sign up for membership. If I didn't already have my gym and yoga membership, I would definitely get a class here. read more

My saving grace!!!!! This studio is Amazing, and so are the owner kb and her staff. I moved to San Jose a little over 6 mnths ago and was going through Pilates reformer withdrawals. I moved from the walnut creek area where I had an amazing studio. After trying a few places around the area I found kb fitness. I do Pilates twice a week here and adore it. The classes are group classes which I prefer. There are 8 reformers I believe. Kb has an amazing way of teaching Pilates and in my opinion is the best teacher I have come across, I have been practicing Pilates for about 8 years now. I have also taken the my fitness bootcamp classes with Danny and Lucas, they are very high energy and atleast for me are a great way to get some of my cardio in. They have a few membership options to fit everyone's budgets. I wish I had more time in my week I would be there everyday. read more

I wanted to start working out again, but of course I wanted to get a deal while doing that. I found a deal on trubates for KB fitness. Unfortunately there were many restrictions to my coupon, and what I really wanted to try was not available to me. I only went to one pilates class, which was listed on their website as yoga. They also required me to sign up for whatever class I was taking and would be penalized if I didn't make it, which is reasonable. The reason why I gave it three stars is because on yelp the address was wrong and secondly the pilates class wasn't what I expected. The good thing was that there was only four people, myself included. I don't think I would go back just for their regular classes. I definitely hope that they have a deal for the pilates reformer soon because I'll come back for that! read more

I tried KB Fitness because I bought a Trubates deal that was too good to pass up! It is a little far from my home but I really enjoyed going there. Unfortunately the only class I was able to try was the U-Jam class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is soooo much fun and I would highly recommend it. They also have a lot of other classes that I wish I got to try like the Yoga/ Pilates Fusion and Pilates Reformer classes. The place is a little small but it's enough space for the classes and the amount of people that attend them. Even though it's on the smaller side, you don't feel stuffy or anything even when you get really hot from working out. They give you water for free and a towel to use during your class. I really wish KB Fitness was closer to my house so I could continue going there! read more

I wanted to give myself a good week before I wrote a review of KB Fitness. Not because they're not awesome, but because I wanted to see just how much they could beat me up before I did. And boy oh boy! KB is awesome! These are the classes I've taken: Cardio Trampoline, Piloxing, Cardio Step, and Pilates/Yoga Fusion They provide water and towels (you will need both!) These classes are NOT easy, but they are super fun and KB and her fellow instructors are so motivating. It's hard for me to keep up with KB's awesome choreography, but she helps me by counting out the steps and being very encouraging. I would highly recommend KB Fitness to anyone who wants to have fun while exercising! It doesn't feel like work cause it's so fun! read more

My friend and I found KB Fitness through a one month unlimited group fitness class deal on Living Social. It also included 3 Pilates reformer classes. Such an awesome deal that I could not pass. Called KB ahead of time and she was so nice and helpful. We attended the cardio kickboxing class, yoga, zumba, trampoline and cardio jam. Trampoline cardio jam was our favorite. It was so much fun! Definitely a sweat dripping workout. The classes are easy to follow if you're a beginner so we didn't feel lost or uncomfortable. KB is an awesome instructor. She's fun, jokes around and so energetic. The yoga class we attended was a bit slow and boring for us but it could be because we're use to Bikram yoga which is more intense. Overall, we enjoyed our time at KB Fitness. We would definitely come back if we come across another deal like the one we had. read more

Although Kathy's (AKA KB) pilates classes are great, there's something even more remarkable about how she runs her business......with INTEGRITY! This is of course rare. I was in the process of purchasing additional classes and she went out of her way to call me letting me know I still had additional credits remaining and that I could save money. She is also energetic, supportive, and patient....must haves for any master teacher. Thanks KB! Jason read more

I bought a groupon for a 10 pack of Pilates reformer classes after my friend told me about it. She was taking a Tuesday night class with Danielle and loved it. I started taking the classes with her and loved it as well. Danielle is an awesome instructor! She's friendly and knowledgable about Pilates. She changes up the workouts a lot and gives you 3 levels to chose from for the moves so that you can start slow and challenge yourself once you have been coming for awhile. I also like how she tells you what each move is strengthening. She really gives you a full body workout! I was really sore after my first couple of classes but I stuck with it and can now do more reps with a higher resistance. I can definitely tell the difference in my muscle tone. I took one class with KB and she started the class like 7 minutes late and ended it a couple minutes early. The class itself was fine but it annoyed me that it was short. I've also taken a few classes with Kit. At first I didn't like her classes, but she's gotten better at increasing the pace of the class and switching it up more. I ended up buying a 6 pack of classes after my groupon and did them with Danielle. I just bought another 6 pack so I can continue training with her. She is the reason I go to KB Fitness! P.S. the reason I didn't give it five stars is because I don't like how the bathrooms are single occupancy instead of having some sort of locker room with showers. Definitely makes it hard to change. read more

l love KB fitness . Actually my daughter loves this place . She is taking the ZUMBA KIDS class every Wed. She really likes the class and great teacher . We are really happy that KB is very close to us. Thank you KB .We love your place!! read more

I've been a member of Montuno Dance Company and visit KB Fitness 3 days a week. It offers one large studio and two smaller spaces to practice up to 6 days a week. The studio space rocks! We are always welcomed with a smile from either Ms. KB herself or her front desk staff. I have also even received a massage as they now offer 30-180 minute sports and relaxation massage as a extra site for Roman Paradigm. There is a massage therapist on site Monday through Friday 3pm-7pm and Saturdays from 10am-3pm. I've also taken KB Fitness' MMA classes on Saturday mornings and as a 2nd degree Black Belt I can say these guys and gals train hard. However, it is scaled back for those who need just a little more help getting through the workout. KB offers classes for the community no matter what your story is you need to stop by and check it out. read more

I bought a Pilates Reformer Groupon for ten sessions. Never tried it before but I heard the praises. They were right. It's a holistic workout, I always leave feeling the work on my whole body, relaxed and energized. KB, the owner, is very knowledgeable, energetic, and warm. There are times when there's some conversation going on with regulars during class, which in my opinion distracts a little from the class, but not a big deal. Changing room and bathroom are one and the same, FYI. Most important: my body felt immediately stronger and invigorated. And did I mention relaxed? Totally worth it. Will keep coming back! read more

KB Fitness offers outstanding programs such as, Group Exercise, Cardio Kickboxing, Pilates, Yoga Classes, Body Sculpting and more, including classes for children in various age groups. Pilates Reformer Classes are small - 5 is the maximum number of students per class which provides great 1:1 attention and training time with each person. KB Fitness is not a gym ... it is a fitness facility that offers small classes with specialized attention. It is like a fitness boutique! I have had several different gym memberships over the years. I absolutely prefer the boutique-type environment. Most importantly, I appreciate the specialized knowledge KB and the other trainers have. They keep a watchful eye on everyone to ensure each move is done correctly which prevents us from inadvertently injuring ourselves. KB, the owner, is a powerhouse instructor. She makes the "gain of the pain" all worth it. She is a great motivator and very uplifting. I am so grateful I found KB Fitness. You owe it to yourself to check it out! What are you waiting for? read more

Enjoyed my first trial workout here. Josifina was great. However, when I came back to try the 5:45am class it was cancelled without any notice online so when I showed up and no one was around and the doors were locked. Maybe should have better notice on the website about cancelled classes. read more

Very rarely do I write a negative review but I need to put this out there for anyone who is considering this place...I was a very loyal customer but has such a bad experience involving both the front desk employee Linsay and the owner that I cancelled my membership. What others have said is true but I could not continue to support a business where there is so much manipulation and dishonesty. read more

I purchased the Pilates Groupon coupon. Booked most of of the 10 sessions but took two weeks before I could get the first class. Got a call Saturday saying my session booked two weeks prior was done in error. I had the session on the online calender too. Very hard to get in a class. Cancelled Groupon and would not recommend since you can't get into any Pilates classes. read more

My best friend and I discovered KB Fitness like many others, through a Groupon. Which, BTW, is a great way to try things out without a big commitment. And for the record, we had so much fun that today I signed up to become a member. They have a nice variety of packages and options so you can fine-tune your membership to only pay for what you'll actually use. This is a great place to go if you are a Pilates newbie, and I recommend finding a way to get into Kit's class if you're a rookie at Pilates or just getting back in shape. KB is a great teacher too, but her classes are more challenging and not where I'd send a friend for their first time. (If you buy a 10 pack, do see her at least once though!) Kit is warm and patient, and exactly what we needed. My friend had recently hurt her knee, and I'm finally moving my butt off the couch for the first time since, well let's just say the nineties....and boy did I see RESULTS. In my first 5 weeks, I've lost pounds and inches and gained energy and just feel more stable all around...I'm running up and down the stairs at work like it's no big deal now. Kit is great at helping me find that balance between wanting a challenge and not overdoing it. A few tips though, most of which are in other reviews too: 1. This is a no-frills operation. The space is pretty much entirely dedicated to exercise studios. Come dressed for class, there are no showers or locker rooms here, just a regular bathroom if you need to change. 2. Call ahead to sign up for Reformer classes. Mondays evenings especially fill up, and when there's a Groupon running they fill up even more. Also, it's crazy on the top of the hour when everyone is signing in or trying to sign up for their next class on their way out the door. So come in during classes (like 20 'till) or call midday to get your schedule set up. 3. If you're new and don't know what to do/where to go, SPEAK UP. The front desk team does tend to assume you know the routine already. But when you ask, the whole team is lovely and pleasant. Or ask the other folks in the lobby. We were all new too at one point. :) read more

My friend (who lives in Cupertino) and I signed up online to take a TRX class at 6:45 AM. We signed up the day before at 9am. Got up Thursday morning and arrived at the studio by 6:40 am. There was another class going on and no one was at the reception desk to greet us. The studio is not very clean or impressive. The workout area has hard floors and appeared very "dingy". Not what I expected from a new place. Finally the instructor came out and said that "they must have cancelled the 6:45 am class due to lack of sign-ups". He said that I should have received an email. I checked my phone; there was no email. He said that I was welcome to join the last 10 minutes of his class. Really? I got up at 6:15 am for this??? Not a very good way to promote a new business. My friend and I will not be returning. For a $22 drop in, I would suggest Club One for a $15 drop in!! read more

Lady says she's the owner...she was very rude...telling someone some long winded story rather than help me at the front desk. The lady she was telling the story to even motioned her to help me, but she ignored it and kept talking. Not a very good first impression. She showed no respect. Don't waste your time or money! read more

I can't recommend this place ..but have to say KB the owner does know her stuff and I did get a great workout but her attitude is condescending , I hated the class and would leave in a bad mood . There is a great instructor named Kit who has great energy but overall I couldn't bear the negative vibe at KB fitness , even the boot camp guy Danny had an attitude ..so I cancelled membership . I originally started on a groupon , which the front desk gal told me KB doesn't want and calls them couponers ..I met a lot of people who feel the same as me. I am surprised she can stay in business but there did seem to be a group of " oldies" who all knew each other and whom KB definetlty favored during my classes .. Almost to the point of high school cliques ..I am glad I am out of that place ..!! read more

Not a gym person? Hate those intimidating group large group classes at the gym? Then here's your solution: Go to KB Fitness! KB's fitness classes are fun, challenging, and definitely gets you to break a sweat. I was obsessed with KB's body sculpting class and it definitely jump started my journey to becoming fit. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford the class packages since I'm already paying for a gym and yoga membership. If you're looking for a fun and motivating workout experience, then definitely get your butt up and get to KB Fitness! read more

I purchase a Groupon deal for the boot camp class, The instructors are Danny and Anthony and I love there classes. I sweat a lot and there routines are intense, they are excellent instructors so I am happy that I am taking this book camp. read more

KB Fitness is a great little Pilates/Exercise studio in the Blossom Valley area of San Jose. I currently go there primarily for the Pilates Group Reformer classes and the prices are very reasonable. I definitely wouldn't be able to afford Reformer classes if private one-on-one sessions were my only option, but unfortunately that's what many studios still offer, which can run you anywhere from $35 to $60 an hour. :( By offering small group classes instead, with anywhere from 3 to 5 students per class, you get nearly the same benefits as the one-on-one for a fraction of the cost. :) The class sizes are still small enough that the instructor can walk around and spend time with each person to verify they're doing the exercise correctly. (I'd originally used the word "client" in that sentence, but everything at KB is so friendly and laid back that the word client just seemed too stuffy for this place LOL.) As I've mentioned, the people and staff at KB Fitness are super friendly and welcoming. Kathy, the owner of the studio, teaches many of the classes herself and is often there to welcome you with her warm smile and gracious attitude. Water is free (though I always forget that and usually bring my own anyway) and the studio is clean and well kept. The current studio consists of 2 good sized wood-floored rooms located in the Sports Authority plaza on Blossom Hill Road, though I've heard Kathy mention that they're in the market for larger space nearby so they can continue to expand their offerings. I know she wants to stay in the Blossom Valley area since she says there's not much else there in the way of exercise and fitness studios, but I still secretly wish they were a wee bit closer to where I live in Campbell so I could take advantage of more of their group exercise classes. Since I have to rely on 85 to get there and back, traveling there any time between 3 and 6 in the afternoon (or between 8 to 10 in the morning) is pretty nerve wracking and could end up taking closer to 45 minutes instead of the 15 it usually takes me. So I'm somewhat limited to late morning and mid-afternoon classes. So though the location makes this studio less than perfect for me, I can't hold that against them. So I refuse to deduct a star for that, especially when Kathy has built such a great community down there, and the location is a blessing to many of the people who live in the South San Jose area. read more

People often say in their yelp reviews that they are hesitant to give a glowing review because they don't want an establishment to become too busy. I really really didn't want to write this review for that very reason... However, I feel like everyone needs KB fitness in their lives. I have taken the following classes: rebounding, pilates reformer, and piloxing. You guys this is what a fitness studio should be. The two instructors I've had so far (Genia, and KB herself) are so wonderful I have to stop myself from hugging them after class. I'm trying not to come on too strong, you see. The rebounding class kicked my butt! Rebounding is an aerobics class on a mini trampoline and holy crap is this a good workout. This class is lead by KB and while I would never guess a lady's age her bio says she has been teaching exercise since 1978 (the year before my birth) and despite my five to six day a week intense workout schedule she is in such better cardiovascular shape than I am it's ridiculous. I was panting like a dog in that class while she is talking along, encouraging everyone and having a great time. It was an amazing class and she lead it with such enthusiasm. The music was great, the cueing was great. How many times can you say great in one review? I had put on my intro form that I had recently torn my rotator cuff and even though KB had only seen me once before during our packed reformer class she yelled out "everyone but Kris really get your shoulders into this!". When we were doing push-ups she told me how to place my hands to protect my shoulders. The pilates reformer class and the piloxing class I attended are both lead by Genia. Genia is a gorgeous, sweet, southern belle. She's a preacher's daughter, if she got any cuter it would hurt! She lead the reformer class with great cueing and anatomy awareness and while it didn't feel that strenuous during the class my abs ached the next day. In places my abs have never before ached. The piloxing class combines intervals of pilates moves and intense cardio boxing moves. It's a great time and such a fantastic workout that I don't mind how ridiculous I look during most of it. The best part about this studio is the family atmosphere. All of the staff are sincerely friendly and in turn all of the students in the classes are friendly. Have you ever been to a class where the regular students can tell that you're new and will introduce themselves to you? IT HAPPENS HERE! Not only do they offer childcare but they're excited to do it, looking forward to each of the kids and knowing their names, habits and personalities. I may or may not have already gotten to hold an adorable toddler. I only sniffed his head and cried once. I swear. If you like gyms where you put on your ipod, get on a treadmill and don't make eye contact with anyone - KB fitness is not the place for you. If you're a no-neck guy going to a gym only to make girls uncomfortable while overdeveloping just your pecs and biceps - KB fitness is not the place for you. Everyone else, who likes both humans and fitness - this is the place for you! read more

My wife and I thought we would sign up for a boot camp at KB because the times were so flexible and the six week groupon was a steal. Five months later we actually find ourselves looking forward to the four mornings a week that we get our tails kicked in the class. Danny does a great job of encouraging without being patronizing. The class works all muscle groups, and all levels of fitness can get a great workout. Nice folks, no nonsense workout, great deal. As Danny will often tell you during that last set, it's a boot camp, not a summer camp. Len P. read more

Back in September I bought a good deal on Groupon for 6 weeks of unlimited exercise classes for around $30-35 which is a very great deal. I liked coming here to workout because the instructors and front desk receptionists were cool and friendly. Also, the owner is cool with me so I am somewhat curious to see how she is rude and condescending as how others have mentioned on yelp. I would like to join the regular membership if only it wasn't too pricey for monthly membership fees. read more
