Kaia Fit North Dallas

If you’re looking for a gym that challenges your body without the unnecessary obnoxious gymrats and fitness buffs, than Kaia Fitness is your place! This gym is new to the DFW metroplex, but it has already become a gem. (see what i did there?) :-)
Kaia Fitness is a safe place for women who are looking to get fit, lean, but more importantly really find confidence in their body no matter what size you are. It has a similar concept like Crossfit in that there are WODS (workout of the days), but you there are three levels — beginning, strength and Kaia — to each exercise so that each person gets a good workout.
There are usually three rounds for each workout, and each one is challenging. Christine, the coach and owner of Kaia FIt North Dallas, is encouraging, welcoming, hospitable, but will provide workouts that KICK.YOUR.BOOTY! Everyone cheers each other on and no one gets ostracized if they aren’t a «fitness expert.»
They have sessions multiples times a day so that everyone has chance to get their workout in! Christine encourages everyone to stop by and try out a session! Bring your water, an open mind and get ready to transform your body and change your life!

Since starting Kaia over three years ago, I have had my first green smoothie, participated in my first (and last) raw juice cleanse, ran my first 10K in a pink tutu, finished three obstacle course mud runs, beat my collegiate timed mile as a 35 year old mother of three, and held a plank for over 15 minutes. I am not listing these accomplishments to show-​off my abilities, but to prove that when given the opportunity, we can accomplish what we thought would be too difficult or impossible. These challenges inspire me! I wasn’t aware how strong my «aging» body can become! KaiaFit has been such a joy in my life. We all know that trying new healthy practices and making them habits, feeling strong, seeing muscles develop, feeling confident in our clothes, sweating a LOT, being a part of a team and seeing them succeed brings JOY! I never found this connection and happiness in my other gym memberships.
Why I am committed: the challenge, the change and the chicks.
1) the challenge. The workouts are hard. But it wouldn’t be rewarding if it wasn’t hard. We have all heard the quote, «If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.» I know we all would rather waddle away after class feeling utterly exhausted versus a workout with mediocre movements and the option of not needing a shower since we didn’t sweat THAT much. I appreciate that each one of us — within all our various fitness levels — can be challenged each morning. I am well aware we all have busy lives full of demands and responsibilities and showing up each day can be a challenge all its own. But 5 am for me has been the place where I can escape being mommy and wifey and focus on challenging myself for an hour — with 25 other moms, wives, and professionals doing the same thing. That hour makes me a happier mom and a more energetic wife (my husband fully supports KaiaFit). We do show up for the challenge. And, you all have my permission to keep challenging me.
2) the change. Yea, I had some physical changes after my first couple BRIKS. I lost some inches and gained some nice looking muscles. But the change I valued the most was the mental change that occurred within me. I began to look at food differently — thus the beginning of my green smoothie love affair. Who knew something that looked like a by-​product of Shrek could taste amazing and make me feel like a well-​fueled machine. The way I ate changed — the way I cooked changed — the way I rewarded myself changed — changes began happening because KaiaFit was educating me.
I also became mentally stronger; workouts are 50% physical and 50% mental. If I knew I could beat my time and believed I could beat my time… I WAS beating my time. No question. The exterior is a byproduct of the change that occurred within my mind.
3) the chicks. I am an extremely social person. I am in my happy zone when I am around people. And, Kaia brings together likeminded women who all desire to be their best version of themselves and throws them all together to sweat, (sometimes) swear, and socialize together! And I LOVE IT! Friendships build. I have made life long friends through Kaia. I smile knowing KaiaFit was founded on the fact that women have a need to feel accepted, valued, and loved. Nikki (the founder) saw a need to not only strengthen bodies, but strengthen womens’ confidence and love for themselves. We all need validation and support. I know we have all felt accepted within the Kaia sisterhood. Kaia chicks don’t compete against another’s weaknesses. Instead we look for opportunities to help our friends overcome them.
I have seen KaiaFit start as a fitness class for some, and as time went on, it became therapy and healing for them. A chance to repair and rebuild themselves. I love participating in this restoration.
I love being a Kaia Kat chick. Thanks for inspiring me. Continue to challenge yourself, change what you know is holding you back, and rely on your Kaia chicks to walk, run or do high knees beside you along your journey!

This gym/​boot camp is so amazingly AWESOME! Ok, let me just start from the beginning. It’s not your typical gym, instead of tirelessly without reachable goals peddling you life away on a bike, Kaia has group classes that incorporates weight training and cardio in each workout! So, not only is the whole group working together to get through the workout but everyone is encouraging each other through it! I can’t tell you how many high fives I got the first time I was there. Did I mention it’s an all women’s gym!!! So, no more having to look «sexy» while sweat is dripping down your face, you can actually workout hard without judgement. The owner, Christine is so sweet too. Even as the owner, she teaches classes and really gets behind the women coming as a fitness role model. You can tell she really does have a passion for what she does. I really can’t say enough about this place. It’s a whole new look to working out, and a delightful experience from the «typical» gym experience! You won’t regret coming here ladies. It’ll change your life.

This gym is awesome! It’s so much more than just a work out. The coaches are super motivational and push you to reach new levels. They have nutrition training/​support and really take a holistic approach to fitness. Such a fun group of girls! So refreshing!

I was invited to the grand opening and the facility was amazing, the soft padded flooring was great during the workouts. The coach Christine is a doll. Such a genuine person who really cares and takes time to get to know each girl that was there!!! We had an amazing workout with lots of guidance and tips on correct form and safety. They have great class times for us busy moms that are always on the go and wait did I mention that child care will be coming soon. I also felt so blessed to meet the founder of KAIA that had flew in for the grand opening. She also is truly a genuine women as well and was so passionate about KAIA and the women hood of this amazing fitness community! I will be going back to surround myself with these positive, strong bodied women!
