Coach Ken is a master of his craft! He is an excellent personal trainer who wants to understand your reason for your health goals and what motivates you to make sure you're having healthy relationships with yourself. He's encouraging, kind, and knows how to push you. He also treats you as a friend, being able to see when you're just having a rough day. He knows when to challenge you further, as well as be supportive and understanding when you need it. You'll see this in his interactions with all his clients. Coach Ken will make sure he does his job right to get you towards your health goals, but as a client you should understand that you have to be accountable for how much work you put in as well. Results happen when both the trainer and client communicate well and keep a steady and challenging pace with training sessions. Take a moment to reach out to Coach Ken and talk to him! I had several consults with different personal trainers in Rowland Heights, Chino Hills and Fullerton area.. and chose Coach Ken because he's the right fit! I'm fitting in my clothes better and have better endurance at the gym now! Thank you Coach Ken! read more

7 Months. 1 Goal. Crushed It! My husband and I started our lifestyle change last October, and I've already hit my first major goal. This journey takes showing up even when you don't feel like it, lifting heavier, and trusting the process. We couldn't do this alone. Huge shoutout to Coach Ken at Uzima Fitness! Our entire family, including our young son have experienced the benefits of strength training offered here. read more

When you train with Coach Ken, you are not only getting a gym coach, but a life coach. Ken made sure that my mindset was right for making changes in my life. He started off with recommending me a book to read before we even touched a weight. Ken pushed me to exceed all my goals in life and gave me tips in life that I'm going to carry with me well after my time training with him is over. You see the physical results, but results that can't be seen on the inside are the best results from working with Ken. read more

I can't say enough good things about Coach Ken! He helped me lose 30 lbs postpartum, but honestly, what I've gained along the way has been so much more than just weight loss. He has become more than a trainer -- he's genuinely become a friend and a bit of a life coach. He is incredibly kind, motivating, encouraging, and always pushes me to do my best without ever making me feel judged or pressured. That non-judgmental approach has meant so much to me, especially during a time when I was trying to find my confidence again. He's one of those genuinely great guys who wants to see the people around him succeed, and you can tell that he truly cares. He celebrates the wins, encourages you through the hard days, and always makes you feel capable of more than you thought you could do. I'm so grateful for everything Coach Ken has helped me accomplish -- not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. 30 lbs down, but so much more gained. I couldn't recommend him more! read more

Getting towards the end of a 6 month program with coach Ken and I am pleased to report that it was 100% worth it. I have gained confidence in myself, built muscle, and feel more confident going to a gym on my own now. I could definitely see myself continuing a long term commitment with Coach. Some examples of ways he stands out amongst other coaches is he's truly intelligent and educated... and honestly quite wise. I love how some of our sessions turn into a much needed therapy session--in that way I appreciate that he's felt like a life coach/personal trainer combo. He does a great job individualizing your sessions, is respectful, easy to feel comfortable around, understanding, and genuine. 100% recommend if you're looking looking for a personal trainer to help with overall lifestyle optimization read more

I had the pleasure of doing a few training sessions with Ken and loved every minute. I really thought I could hold my own and that I knew my way around a workout pretty well, but whew! Ken managed to point out little adjustments to my form that made me realize there was definitely more for me to learn. He explains things in a way that actually makes sense and helped me understand not just what I should be doing, but how I should be doing it properly. His workouts were SO good. Challenging. The kind where you leave feeling like you actually accomplished something without questioning every decision that led you there. I really enjoyed them. Ken clearly knows his craft and I walked away from my sessions with him more knowledgeable and much more aware of my form. If you're looking for someone who will actually teach you while putting you through a great workout, I highly highly recommend giving Ken a visit! read more

Coach Ken is amazing to say he's a great trainer is an understatement. I needed serious help, I was injured at work and the workman comp Dr'. from State fund said I was morbidly obese. I'm overweight but not morbidly obese. I worked in Maintenance Construction which wrecks havoc on your body. I wanted to find a trainer that seemed real in training , and I wanted it to be located at least an hour in traffic so I had to push myself. I researched and found Uzima Fitness. I met Coach Ken. I met a trainer that actually cares about the total person . My knees are bone n bone and I have shoulder and back problems. QHe's a trainer that's taking my body in baby steps and when finished you're actually able to do the exercise. I couldn't raise myself up without help and grabbing things to pull myself. This was painful and very embarrassing for me. Prior to seeking a trainer I did the cheat thing with GP1 great, I lost 40lbs in 3 months. Months later I gained back the weight loss plus. out of shape and obese still. I joined Uzima Fitness , After a couple weeks with Coach Ken I could get off the floor without the help of holding onto anything. My knees are bone on bone. I am doing mountain climbers, and learning how to do squats in sections. There's a difference when you have a trainer that's working with your body and not against your body. I'm 67 not 27, so I'm not able to get into those lunges, squats, bird raises and calisthenics exercises . I needed someone who knew the anatomy of what could turn my body back into a person again and I found that in Coach Ken. If you're looking to experience what a real trainer is,this would be your guy. If you just want someone to tell you exercises to do as a program instructor you can find them in 24hour fitness,LA fitness etc... I recommend you explore what your body needs to experience complete fitness..God bless your journey your to a healthier you!!! read more

Coach Ken rocks! I started working with coach at the end of 2025. He has helped me in my fitness journey with his knowledge, experience and skill set. Although I strength trained at home before working with him, he provided the feedback I needed to execute moves with proper form, so I would be safe and not sorry. With my nutritional and sleeping goals, he helped me navigate areas I could improve to elevate my overall fitness goals. Above all, Coach helped me keep a healthy balanced perspective about fitness, which is so important in the long run. He truly cares about each of his clients and has a super kind heart and spirit, but at the same time, will also kindly keep me on track. Highly recommend!! read more

I started training with Coach Ken about 4 months ago. I was never really able to truly motivate myself to get into weight training so I wanted to find a setting where a coach would be there to motivate me to keep pushing further. I had been doing cardio / basketball pretty regularly , but was definitely lacking in muscle. Coach Ken provides a friendly, yet motivational way of helping you reach your goals. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to start their weight loss/ weight training journey! read more

Please do yourself the favor of just getting your butt into the gym with Coach Ken! My boyfriend and I did the three month program in hopes of getting into shape before we have to do engagement pictures and our mental/physical health is so much better now, it's insane! Coach Ken makes it easy. Just getting a gym membership would have been a waste of money- we never would have went and it wouldn't have been the same as having a professional walk us through exactly what we needed to do to maximize our results. Having a trainer like Ken will keep you motivated and stop you from skipping workouts. Plus we have so much fun when we're there, completely recommend!! read more

After years of trying different diets and losing and gaining weight back again, I decided to focus on my overall health rather than drop weight on scale. I haven't been physically fit for many years and I did not like exercising until I started working out with Coach Ken. On my first meeting, coach Ken took time to listen to my concerns and know what my goals were. He customized my workout plan and encouraged me to push myself harder. In just one month, I was able to increase the workout duration from 30 minutes to 1 hour. He helped me get physically stronger and fitter. I highly recommend coach Ken to anyone who wants to get fit, stronger and healthier! read more

I'm so glad I took the plunge in personal training starting January of this year. I've been hesitant since it's hard for me just pick someone let alone meet someone new that I can trust. Through word of mouth from a friend, I found Coach Ken. He is wonderful! Right amount of challenge, gets to know you, and holds you accountable throughout the week. Not only does he challenge you in workouts but also in life and help you anyway he can. I'm grateful and can't wait for how the rest of this year will look like! :) read more

I came into working with coach ken with my own limitations like knee pain, pelvic hip pain postpartum stuff. Coach helped me put in the work without aggravating my existing issues, and i started to feel stronger and more capable. He kept me accountable with food journaling, and steps, it was great to see the weight loss start to happen in the first week even though my main gym sessions were twice a week since i work long hours. His personality is also fun and energetic so makes you want to go work! 1000% recommend coach!! read more

I started training with Coach Ken about 5 months ago. Since then, the difference between me then versus me now is night and day! I feel so much healthier and I'm seeing results when I look in the mirror. I was lacking in muscle and intimidated by how to get started with weight training. Coach Ken made it so easy to get started with his friendly approach, and the motivation he offered helped me stick with the training so that I made sustained progress. I would absolutely recommend his program! read more

Coach Ken is the best! I haven't had the best relationship with working out in the past and was ready to start investing in my health, so I decided to look for a trainer earlier this year and am so glad I found Ken. He actually took the time to understand my fitness level and goals, then tailored my sessions and diet accordingly. We made a shift to my nutrition plan 2x while working together and he genuinely cared to understand what was and wasn't working with my diet, mentally and physically, then adjusted for it. He also kept my accountable by texting him each day with whatever metrics i was tracking at that time (water intake, calories, hours slept ... even macros when we were ramping it up). Sessions always had a meaningful mix of exercises that were always challenging (though I never felt overwhelmed by the difficulty). It really showed in my muscle definition and progress over time. I also got a sprinkle of life coaching in there as well! I've been on this 'level-up' journey and Ken had so many great book recommendations and even gave me some to read as homework. The gym is well kept and clean too. Always got great vibes from everyone I interacted with there & never felt intimidated or out of place.... which is not normally how I feel in a gym. I trained with Ken for ~6 months and would still be working with him if I didn't move. But despite the short amount of time, I've set a new baseline for my physical fitness, weight, and diet that i'm extremely happy with. If you're looking for a great trainer and are trying to level-up, I can't recommend Coach Ken enough! read more

I came to Ken knowing I was struggling to sustain the weight loss I had achieved earlier in the year. Despite my ups and downs, Ken has been a constant support, helping me stay disciplined and accountable. He's given me the tools to not only lose weight but to do it in a healthy and consistent way. Over the past two weeks, I've followed his plan with about 80% commitment , and I've already seen great progress. My clothes fit better, and I feel so much stronger. Ken's guidance has been invaluable, and while I know I can continue this journey on my own, it's honestly better with Ken. There's just a difference when he's in your corner. If you're thinking about investing in yourself, try a session or three with him. The first one will be tough--you're facing reality and the workout is new--but by the second and third session, you'll see how much stronger you've become. As a bonus, Ken is great to talk to. Whether it's brainstorming or solving a problem, he listens and helps you develop the right mindset. read more

I was feeling sedentary and it was hard to get myself to exercise regularly, so I decided to commit to training with Ken to give myself more structure. I chose to do small-group training, which means that there are 2-3 people in the gym doing their own workout under Ken's guidance. The gym is clean and never crowded. It's easy to schedule sessions each week, and Ken always makes an effort to accommodate my irregular schedule. Most important for me is that Ken makes working out fun. I look forward going to the gym and feel great after each session. The atmosphere is positive and laid back, and I like the feeling of being relaxed while still trying hard. I have a sense of routine each time I come in and feel like I'm making steady progress at some foundational exercises, but we also regularly mix in new exercises, which helps keep things fresh. Ken has a good eye for technique and is great at giving cues, and I've built up a lot of confidence in my movement. I strongly recommend Ken if you want to take the guesswork out of exercising and take an efficient path to getting healthy. read more

Earlier this year, I was in a total slump - both physically and mentally. I was trying to find a trainer after the birth of my second and naturally gravitated towards finding a woman trainer. I reached out to 4 and not one replied... I saw Coach Ken's reviews on Yelp and decided to reach out to him. He connected with me right away and from our first meeting, I knew I made the right choice. He has been a life coach for me! Almost a year later, I am stronger than ever before. I can keep up with my wild boys and they get so excited to see their mom lifting. Coach Ken - thanks for everything! read more

Muscle gained and weight maintained. Coach ken was awesome. I'd definitely work with him again. read more

Uzima Fitness Training - Gyms Near Me - Fullerton, California

I enrolled myself with a personal trainer named coach Ken. At first, I didn't know what to expect since this was my first time using PT to help reach my goals. He is a huge factor in my new lifestyle as he provided with his knowledge of exercises, dietary, and warm welcome personality. The exercises he constructs are very precise and on point to the goals you want to reach. He will push you to your limits but knowing full well you will achieve them without a doubt. To put into perspective, I could barely do 5 pushups and could only handle 30 minutes of his workouts when i first started. However, after a month and half, I could reach beyond 30 to 40 pushups with 1 full hour of his workouts while feeling good about my progress. The diet he recommends are very reasonable and and easily achievable without giving up with relapse. I've went from 200 pounds to 193 pounds in a span of a month. We keep in touch daily via text by what I eat, how much water I drink, and most importantly how much sleep I get. While doing so this has transformed my lifestyle without me noticing. Lastly, he is very keen about his profession and is very professional at what he does. Goes by everything step by step without missing a single beat. Also, he pays attention to everything in detail while being a very awesome coach. The atmosphere and joy he brings radiates around everyone at the gym and I always leave a big smile wanting to come back for next session. I highly recommend this gym, and coach Ken as your personal trainer. Wished I started sooner!! Thank you coach. read more

Ken is great. Gym he uses is nice and clean. He helps work on my overall healthy and fitness like diet, routines, things to do at home like cardio and stretching. He adapts the workout to me personally and my goals and makes changes as we reach those goals. He's friendly and makes good conversation throughout the workouts with me. I also see him with his other clients and his attitude and directions are a little different with everyone and adapts himself to his clients needs. I can also tell he pushes me or don't push me depending on how I feel that day. He's just very well rounded and has done warm ups like boxing with me and my wife and helped released some knots in my back and neck when I get them and help me stretch my extremely tight legs. The sessions are worth it because I get way more out of the sessions than just someone telling me what exercises to do. read more

I've been working with Ken for the past 4 months. I'm down 50 pounds in that time and I'm just getting started. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Coach Ken approaches training in a truly personalized way. No two people are the same, especially when it comes to personal fitness, goals, and abilities. Ken takes the time to understand your goals, challenges, and unique circumstances. Ken is hands-on but never overbearing or pushy. However, that's not to say that he won't challenge you when needed. He knows how to motivate and push me just enough to excel without feeling like quitting. I've tried other programs before and have found myself dejected and unmotivated after comparing myself to others and feeling like I don't measure up or that I'm not capable enough. What also sets Coach Ken apart is how he understands that fitness is not JUST about working out and eating right. He's helped me understand that fitness and wellness are holistic and he incorporates that approach in his coaching. He's been a great support for me, not only with my workouts and nutrition but also offering invaluable insights on personal finance, career advice, and life skills. Whenever I face a hurdle, I know I can count on him to provide guidance or just lend an ear. I've had so many sessions where I walked in tired, in a bad mood, or just down and after the end of the workout I felt better, happier, and excited to come back. It honestly feels like hanging out with a good friend. Ken's passion and dedication are infectious, you can always catch him dancing to the music in the gym. He creates a positive atmosphere that makes every session enjoyable. I personally feel like Ken cares for his clients and their success, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. He takes it personal. His relationship with me and his other clients I've had the pleasure of meeting is something that you won't find any where else. If you want someone who will help you achieve and stick to your goals, Coach Ken is your guy. As cliche as it sounds, he's changed my life and if you're ready and looking to make real change, hit him up. read more

Coach Ken trained my wife. He is a great motivator, has a great sense of humor, and will help you reach your goal if you push yourself. He also taught her beginning boxing, which was the highlight of her workouts. read more

I'm 64 and wanted to build muscle. If you want a trainer that is in a positive spirit on a daily basis then you want Ken. He will motivate you not only with your weight training goals but also keep you focused mentally to stay fit. Thank you Ken for helping me to build my muscles at my age. read more

Ken is an amazing, knowledgeable coach! It was my first time working with a trainer and it was absolutely worth it. I was comfortable and his work outs were a perfect pace for me. I felt stronger and my sleep even improved significantly. He personalized my workouts for my body and strength which I appreciated. I never felt like it was too much for me. I would recommend Ken to anyone looking for an exceptional trainer/ life coach who is skilled, empathetic and will monitor you carefully for the best form to achieve maximum results! 10/10 for ken! read more

I've been working with Ken since the beginning of March, and the results have been incredible! I came to him in desperation due to my chronic back pain, which has also affected my mental health. In just a month, he's helped me eliminate my pain and pull me out of a dark place. Then I knew you get more than a trainer from Ken because he is excellent and cares. He is a trainer, therapist, life coach, and the kind of friend that you keep for life. I so appreciate his system of consistency: consistency in taking the time to understand my goals, challenges, and preferences and creating a personalized workout plan. With that comes the best service--he makes me feel that my goals are his own. When he can have many clients and make me feel like I'm his only priority --- I'm in the service business, too, and that's what top-tier customer service is. His consistency brings out the consistency in me and the improvements that are becoming more obvious in my overall fitness. Having him to lean on and hold my hands through this journey has been a blessing. I couldn't have a better trainer, and I 1000% highly recommend him. read more

5 stars all the way! If you're looking for results, Coach Ken is your guy. He is knowledgeable, honest, & knows exactly how much to push you (enough to keep you motivated, but not too much that you get discouraged). He also guides you regarding nutrition (which I really needed) and mental well being. The gym is clean, well organized, and has a really positive vibe. I did 20 sessions w/Coach Ken...got the results I was looking for, & I'm feeling great! read more

Coach Ken at Uzima Fitness is an awesome trainer anyone can have, he motivates his clients to reach the goal in a very convincing manner. Very polite, punctual and highly professional individual. He is very kind and honest person. He is very honest to set realistic fitness goal one will achieve. Highly recommend Uzima fitness and of course Coach Ken! read more

Hmmm where to begin. First of all, let start with the reason why you're reading this: Is he a good personal trainer? The answer is Yes. 100% Yes. Coach Ken has been in the personal training business for more than 8 years and it really shows when helping you reach your fitness goals. I came to Coach Ken because I've always been a skinny scrawny looking "Kid". I decided last September that i needed professional help in order to change my body completely from top to bottom. Well let me tell you that Coach Ken's program has changed my figure/physique in ways i never thought I would be able to reach. Sure I'm no Brad Pitt and still working toward our final goal, but compared to how I looked before, I feel like a million bucks! Each session he puts in the time and effort to push your limits, because he genuinely wants you to not only reach your goal... but surpass them as well. We track each PR, each weight increase, each milestone, but also each setback. Men lie, women lie, numbers don't lol!! Aside from personal training/fitness... coach Ken also helped me grow figuratively as a person. Coach Ken says he uses fitness as the vehicle to mentally help as well, which he really did in my case. He wants to genuinely know how you're doing in life, work, etc. Felt like therapy at Times. Now don't think this means "longer break times". Oh no. You WILL be putting in the work , but also will have moments to just converse in-between. If you're looking for a trainer to reach your fitness goals, don't look anywhere else but Uzima Fitness. Uzima means "one who is full of life" (more or less i think haha sorry coach)... which is what I feel now. Full of life and ready to tackle the world not just physically but mentally as well. read more

Coach Ken is an amazing coach for health, fitness, and so much more. My friend referred me to him when I was really struggling with weightloss from depression caused by grief. He was so kind and worked with me to help me lose weight, get my nutrition on point, and gain back the confidence I had lost. He also helped me get my life on track in other ways. He put me in touch with a great therapist to help my depression and grief. He also helped me with my financial goals and put me on a path to not only be debt free but to save and invest. I now own a home and paid off my car because of him. Even if I miss a session there is no judgement and he never makes me feel like I have failed. He's always building me up and believing in me and my potential even if I'm having a hard time believing in my self. Without Ken's coaching and guidance I wouldn't be where I am today. His positive attitude, genuine kindness, and zest for life always make my workouts the highlight of my week. read more

I found Coach Ken and Uzima Fitness on Yelp! and since he was located right around the corner AND since it was only $20 for 3 sessions, I decided to check it out and signed up. I met Coach Ken that first day and he was super easy to talk to, understood where I wanted to get to, where I was coming from and formulated a plan to get me there. During the 3 sessions, he taught me things I did not know and worked my butt off. Sore the next day but returned because it was fun. He was patient also, "Jab, Punch, Cross, Uppercut!" was too difficult for me I guess and during some boxing training, I almost got his chin a few times. HAHA..super fun though. Super nice guy and I will be back. Thanks Coach Ken. read more

Coach Ken is a GREAT coach! If you're ready to reach your goal he's your guy! He takes the time to understand what you want and will do whatever it takes to get you there.Every session is different so you'll never get bored! 6 months ago I knew nothing about weights,what exercises to do and no idea about calories and how to be in a calorie deficit. Coach Ken makes it as easy as possible he tells you everything you need to do and teaches you every thing you need to know. He's the BEST trainer you can get. 50 pounds down thanks to Coach Ken!!!! read more
