I discovered this place via a Living Social deal -- perfect timing too, since I had just quit my 24 Hour Fitness membership. Ive tried group exercise classes a few times before, but never really enjoyed them -- mainly because Im 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. Dont 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 ~8 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 is a great trainer. I have been taking her Pilates Reformer classes every week for the last 7 months. I enjoy her classes because she pushes me further than I would push myself and it is great to get my workout done first thing in the morning and feel accomplished. I have also taken Reformer classes with Kit. Kit has a different style than KB but her workouts are just as effective. Kit makes you feel welcomed every time you come in by asking each persons name and taking note of it. The front desk staff completes the KB Fitness family. They are all so friendly and get to know you quickly. They will call and give me a heads up if there is availability in an earlier class. Overall, I have enjoyed going to KB Fitness and cant wait to try their other classes like TRX, Zumba, and Bootcamp.

I was a loyal customer for almost 2 years but decided to quit after a really unpleasant experience involving the receptionist and the owner. Basically I was scammed out of a large sum of money on the pretext of giving the owner a birthday "getaway" present that instead was used by the receptionist without telling me anything. When I asked the owner about it she covered for her employee and no one was honest with me except the bed and breakfast establishment. I really enjoyed the Zumba with Melissa but not enough to patronize the place. Beware of the receptionist constantly soliciting "contributions". There also is an overabundance of gossip and nastiness, although Kit (pilates instructor}doesnt participate. She is really good.

I have tried several classes and I always have had an excellent experience. The instructors are professional and I can tell they love and enjoy what they do. I took the Cardio Kickboxing with KB, the owner, and it was excellent. A class with lots of energy, great music and a fun workout. Time flies when I take the Zumba class. It is a great choice if you want to have fun to the rhythm of Latin music. You dance for an hour with easy to follow choreograhies, and you dont even notice that you are working out. KB Fitness have many different classes to choose from and a variety of equipment. Also, they have a great location. Id totally recommend this place!

I did 10 pilates classes through a groupon deal. I had never done pilates before and REALLY enjoyed this type of exercise. It was a small group of 6-7 and I got a good workout. The classes did not always start right away, so if you want a complete hour you made need to ask about it. One instructor was sweet but serious, the owner, KB, was chatty and quirky. No complaints, but given it is my only pilates experience...I felt like it was great - given the groupon deal. I have not gone back to pay full price for the sessions and I think I would try another place for a new experience, but that may be my thing - collecting experiences.

I love KBs gym. It is small and personal but active and vibrant, too. I thoroughly enjoy the morning yoga and the Pilates Reformer classes. These exercises energize my day and have helped me keep my muscles flexible and toned. I really enjoy the teachers---Kelly (yoga), Kit (Reformer)---who work to make my class time profitable. And to keep it all going and organized with a smile? Why its Lindsay, of course, the receptionist. This little gym is one of the undiscovered gems of the valley......but wait, now that Ive told you, youll know too!!

I love KB! They have some super fun and challenging classes. Try U-Jam, and work up a sweat to great music! I also thought the women there were great and very friendly. I like that they have childcare on site and that they have waters available for after class if you forget yours. Unfortunately, I get out of work at prime rush hour and it takes me an hour to get to there and I just cant spend that kind of time in traffic and then at the gym with small kids at home. Wish there was one closer to Santa Clara!

The ladies at the front desk are hit or miss, sometimes very warm and accommodating other times when I call in I feel like I am putting them out for the simple fact they have to answer and talk on the phone. The Pilates classes are wonderful however, and I cant recommend Kit enough if youre a beginner who wants a challenge but still needs guidance. Shes also a sweetheart and its impossible not to have a great time in class because of her high energy and great spirit!

I bought a deal on Groupon for 10 weeks of boot camp and I have to say that I feel a lot of energy from it afterwards. I wanted to continue coming but the monthly fee is so expensive like 100 a month while I have paid for Bally Total Fitness for 99/year. Im still a student and just cant afford to keep up with KB fitness. I wish the price is more reasonable for everyone since the class is very crowded tho.

I dont like exercise. But at KB Fitness, where I do Pilates Reformer, and some of the classes they offer it was not intimidating. I felt comfortable working out. Friendly people, good community feel. I just got a personal trainer for an extra kick and I still dont like it, but its do-able. And for the first time, I dont dread walking in to workout. Thanks, KB.

GREAT Independent gym! I loved the Pilates reformer classes as they really work your core. The cardio and dance classes I took were great too! Personalized service and such a nice staff. They are nearby my home so its an easy choice to go to KB. I dont like the larger gyms aka Meat markets plus very few gyms have pilates reformer definitely a HUGE plus!

Love love love KB Fitness! I took the pilates reformer classes when I was pregnant and it was perfect for me! The class is super small so you get personalized attention, the workouts are good and effective. Highly recommend it.
