Coach Ken is an amazing personal trainer! He didn't just help me focus on my physical goals but pushed me mentally as well. His pep talks and book recommendations were just as helpful as our gym routines. My mental struggles were my biggest obstacle when it came to my fitness journey, and I've learned so much from him which has helped me build self-confidence and discipline. 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

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

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

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'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.

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

When you train with Coach Ken, you are not only getting a gym coach, but a life coach. 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. My goal was to gain 15lbs, we well reached that and we're on our way to 30lbs 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

Loving my results. Coach makes sure your form is correct and there's a certain order you're suppose to do the workouts whether you are doing leg day, arm day, core, etc. He's not just a fitness coach but you learn all kinds of things to improve your personal life whether it's improving your mindset (not fitness related), relationships, reading, random stuff, etc. 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

This review is solely based on Coach Ken's kindness. I wasn't able to find the appropriate trainer for myself in his gym but he went out of his way to get me options to the right trainer! Talk about 5 star customer service! Thanks again! read more

Ken provides an amazing support system for the different goals you might have. I train Muay Thai and looking to do more amateur fighting. So my goals are pretty different and he was able to accommodate to my needs and especially through any injuries, bumps and bruises that come around when I've been training and sparring. I really appreciate his attitude not only toward fitness and health, but just in life in general. When you workout with someone like Ken, it makes an impact on your overall physical and mental health, especially when you start the day at 5AM with his workout. Also, the place is c l e a n. That's a huge thing for me. TL;DR: Try it out; you won't be disappointed. read more

Uzima Fitness Training - Ken getting me fight ready - Gyms Near Me - Fullerton, California

I looked at so many reviews of personal trainers in the area, but coach Ken stood out to me because of the relationships he builds with his clients. I just went through a traumatic experience of losing my son because of preterm labor at 27 weeks. Once I was cleared to exercise, I wanted to get a trainer that would help me get back to my physical self, but also someone that would help with my mental state. Coach Ken did exactly that. The first time I went in to meet him, he asked about what my goals were and then asked why I was there. I started crying as I told him about my son and my reasons for wanting to exercise. He was so supportive and uplifting; I knew I made the right choice. Now, I am down 6 pounds, lost inches all around, I feel stronger and I am feeling good about myself. Go see Ken, you will not regret it! read more

I've trained here with both Coach Ken and Coach Dennis. I tried their trial sessions which was 3 sessions for $20 and it definitely gave me the jump start I needed to take care of my fitness and health. You can really feel their energy and it's infectious! I've known Coach Ken from college and he has always been a positive and fun personality. He challenged me and pushed me to give a little bit more towards the end of my workouts and that's definitely something I need in a coach. He gives great advice and genuinely cares about you as an individual, whether it's at the gym or outside of of it. I also did some padwork with coach D. It was very fun, he gave good feedback, and I learned a couple things! It was a great full body workout and I was sore in places I didn't even realized I worked out! He was technical and very approachable if I had any sort of question about what we were doing. He made me feel very comfortable even though it had been a while since I last moved like that. I would definitely recommend training here. It's very personable and a friendly environment! Just ask their clients :) read more

I went in for their three session trial special and came out with a very informative and friendly experience. The first thing Coach Ken does is to understand where you stand in terms of your current health and wellness for exercising. Afterwards he begins to focus in on what YOU want out of the fitness program so he and his associates may cater to that. For me, I want to set my goals low because I've been suffering from a back/hip injury 11 years ago. It is hard to be motivated to workout if you have chronic pain. My two goals were not to injury myself and to maintain a level of wellness. After expressing my concerns with Coach Ken, he became curious about my condition and began my session with some deep stretches. We both came to the conclusion that I was extremely tight and when the stretching was over the relief I felt was greater than any chiropractor I've ever been to. The next few sessions he focused on high intensity training which really pushed me to my limits in terms of stamina. He also gave me some stretching homework in between to help me with my chronic back pain. My takeaway from this is that Coach Ken and his associates provide a friendly environment and an educational experience catered to their clients. read more

Coach Ken did a wonderful job on keeping me accountable to reach my goals! If you're looking for a personal trainer that will teach you how to properly weight train and understand what your body type needs to reach your goals, Ken is the right coach for you. read more

My experience with Coach Ken has been amazing! I went into a 3-month plan with full intentions of attaining my goals of losing weight and building muscle & I am extremely happy to know that I have gained so much more than fitness coaching - a lot of mental & personal growth! My partner & I have never missed a session & have always looked forward to the deep conversations & new life lessons we would have with Coach Ken. Even though our time training with him has ended, I know that what he has taught me over the last few months has been instilled within me & I will take these lessons as I progress in life, whether it's professional, personal, or fitness-related. Thank you for all the wisdom you've enlightened me with, Coach Ken! I'm going to make you proud, just watch! :) read more

It's now been about a month and I continue to see my progress. If you have ever tried loosing weight you know how hard it is after a few weeks. I wouldn't have been able to get to this point without Ken's support. People have really complimented on my weight loss. Ken's training is the best! He is not your average fitness trainer at the If you are serious about reaching your fitness coach he is the right person. It's almost a year now...I'm close to my weight goal. It's possible!!! He will teach you about nutrition and genuinely wants the best for you! read more

I was looking for a good trainer for a while and finally found coach Ken thru yelp. He listend what I want to archieve and understood what I need immediately! He is super energetic and encouraging throughout the whole workout. Also he constantly changes up the workout routine so you hit the all the muscle group and get some good sweat on during session. I really like how he customizes his workouts and make sure every movement is going to help me gain strength. On the top of that he is a such a good human being. I do appreciate him. Thank you Ken! read more

Weight loss is an undeniably difficult journey and Coach Ken taught us more than just eating better and working out more efficiently. He taught us how to change our mindset. He recommended the Compound Effect book and until today, I still remember the main points he wanted us to carry not only in weight loss but also in life. My boyfriend and I joined Coach Ken's training and ever since that day, everything got better: body, mind and relationships with everyone we love and each other. read more
