Kaia FIT

Kaia Fit Sacramento ROCKS! The women here are incredibly supportive and the coaches are very knowledgeable. Kaia is a unique program because it is designed just for women and it offers a little bit of everything. You can choose from cross training, yoga, running, Jam dancing, lifting, and so much more! If you have ever thought about maybe trying out a new way to get healthy and complete your goals, don’t be afraid to give Kaia Fit Sacramento a try!!! You will leave with a smile :)

I’m a very active person. I’ve run several marathons, I dance, I snowshoe, I hike, and I’m always looking for something to make me physically stronger. I love me some personal training and workouts like CrossFit.
After speaking to a friend who was expressing interest in Kaia, I checked out their website. My curiosity was piqued, so I signed up for a BRIK session.
Holy crap. That was amazing.
The workouts are intense (think Crossfit, but not as «macho» …don’t get me wrong, I love Crossfit, too, but yeah, macho), the coaches/​trainers are bad asses (tough, knowledgeable, and just fabulous), and the camaraderie and support is absolutely amazing.
I’ve officially drank the Kool-​Aid. I’m now a Kaia girl. And I love it.

I haven’t reviewed Kaia yet? Shame on me for not sharing with the world what a life changing experience this has been for me! Seriously, I wish I would have joined Kaia the second I found it on Unilocal back in January, but for whatever reason I still held out. There were tons of 5 star ratings, I loved the sound of it, but I still didn’t have that push. I later realized that you really can’t get into a good gym habit until you’re really ready to make the commitment… and come May, when I stumbled across Kaia again, I was ready.
Before Kaia, I had been kinda sorta trying to lose weight for about 2 years. I say kinda sorta because I sucked at staying motivated and on track. I tried to eat healthy, went to a gym where I lifted heavy things, but I sucked at sticking with it. Between mid 2011 and the beginning of 2013, I hadn’t lost much weight, maybe 10 pounds. From when I first started Kaia in May, to the end of my first BRIK (6 weeks later,) I lost 10 pounds and 12 inches. Holy crap. I did more work in 6 weeks than I had in a year and a half on my own. I always knew what I really needed was a supportive environment, a camaraderie so to speak, to get me really in shape. And I found it here. Since the end of that first BRIK, I’ve lost another 10 or so inches, although I couldn’t tell you how much more weight I’ve lost because I also learned that scale doesn’t matter much when you go from a size 12 to a size 4. And it’s so much more than what it’s done for my jean size; I have more energy, I’m happier, I have a new group of friends who all care about health and fitness, and I seriously don’t struggle getting to the gym. It’s fun, it’s where all my friends are, and every day it’s something new and different. It was a total game changer for me, and if you’re the kind of person who knows you need that extra push, this is the place for you. I’m so thankful I finally signed up and that Kaia is now such a huge part of my life!

The first time I tried it out I was hooked! It’s an amazing group of girls who are super supportive of one another and it’s truly infectious! The girls arrange spirit days to keep it fun and interesting! Classes are led by really knowledgable coaches who push you to your peak, and can always help you modify exercises if you need. They also provide you with diet options and lots of online tools like the Kaia cookbook full of lots of healthy whole food recipes!
Kaia is for ALL ABILITIES! No matter what your level, these coaches can help you reach your goals! It’s not cliquey, and there’s no judgement here! Just a really great support system!
After my first month of Kaia, I quit my regular gym membership because after starting Kaia I don’t ever want to go to a boring regular gym again. Kaia is all I need: D hardest, most fun workouts I’ve ever done!

I’ve been attending Kaia FIT Sacramento for almost a year now — and I’ve yet to do the same workout twice! Always fun, always exciting, always something different. This amazing network of women has helped me reach nutrition and fitness goals I never would’ve believed I was capable of. Their support is second to none, and the unforgettable friendships are what keep me coming back session after session. The inches I’ve lost and the strength I’ve found are just icing on the cake. But don’t take my word for it! Drop in and see for yourself…

I joined in November after needing to regain some of the energy and confidence I had lost with age, work and the every day stuff of life. I was cranky and spending too much time on my couch. It was time for a change. My boss did Kaia through a Groupon deal and she suggested it. I looked it up and was super scared that I’d be in over my head. I emailed and got a prompt and friendly response from Megan that helped me feel like I wasn’t going to relive the worst moments of 8^th grade P.E. She told me I could try it out for free. So I did and it was… well, fun is the wrong word, but it was actually fun and HARD, but in a good way.
It’s women only and it’s all kinds of women — ages, shapes and fitness levels. (So maybe the pregnant woman in my class out paces me from time to time, it’s cool!)
I was working out, but not very hard, about 3 – 4 days a week. I think this helped me a little bit, but Kaia is intense. It’s not cutesy or baby-​ish. It’s not girly, but it’s for women, if that makes sense. You feel empowered and inspired and sometimes overwhelmed and sweaty and ready to quit. But you don’t. And then you want to go all the time.
If you are on the fence, ask to check out one free class. If you want to do some cute aerobics or avoid sweating, this isn’t the place for you.
If you want to feel like you worked out fo’ reals, then this is your place.
I also think you get great value for your money. You get attention, support and tips for modifications if something is too hard or (on the off chance) too easy. They emphasize safety. The price is much more reasonable than the other bootcamp type classes/​gyms I looked into and it’s just a more friendly environment.
Go. For. It.

Kaia is a lifestyle… you will have no regrets, however, you might get a little stronger, oh and some muscles! Great group of ladies :)

I joined Kaia after buying a Living Social deal about a year and a half ago. I thought I would just take part in a standard 6 week bootcamp to get ready for my wedding. Little did I know that I would be so impressed with Kaia that after the 6-​week session, I quit 24-​Hour and Kaia became my gym (much more than a bootcamp).
I’ve tried almost every «bootcamp» in town, but Kaia is different. Most of us don’t treat it like a bootcamp (signing up for a monthly membership) and the word «bootcamp» doesn’t even encompass all that Kaia offers. I like to workout hard, yet Kaia is doable. You don’t dread going and every single time you are pushed to do your best in a supportive environment.
Kaia has been by far the best gym/​bootcamp/​fitness program I’ve done for the following reasons:
— Workouts are always different — they keep you excited and never bored
— You get a great workout every time!
— Coaches are well-​trained, supportive and more than coaches
— The women in each class are amazing. We come from all different backgrounds including fitness levels yet there is a camaraderie that is unique to Kaia
— It’s been the one workout program that keeps me coming back 3 – 5 times per week at 6am! I never thought I’d be a morning workout person, but the fact that I can just wake up, come to class and not think about it has made all the difference.
— Great nutrition advice and plans
The list can go on and on. I’m a Kaia girl for life!

Kaia FIT is amazing!!! I have to thank Kaia for getting me into the best shape of my life!!! Every workout is new and challenging and no matter your fitness level you will get a workout. I’ve been working out with Kaia for over a year and have never repeated a workout. Its a must try because you will not only get a great workout you’ll also meet dedicated owners, coaches and inspiring workout partners.

I just completed my six week Kaia FIT Session as of 7AM this morning! It was a deal that LivingSocial offered for just $ 39! I actually got the deal for free since I had 3 friends sign up. Thanks to my 3 friends! :-)
All of the Kaia programs are for women only! The six weeks simply flew by and I saw results throughout the course of the program. We started off with a one week detox (NO alcohol, carbs, sugar over 9g, dairy, or processed foods). That cleaned out our colons and jump-​started our metabolisms. At first I was like, «What? No carbs? No rice… ???» but I told myself from the beginning I was going to commit to the program and that I did. For the remainder of the program we still had a strict nutritional plan that built on from the detox. Week 2 we went meatless, so that was when I made friends with tofu! Slowly we were able to add good carbs and dairy back into our diet.
We worked out 3 days a week, 1 day in the gym and 2 days at a local park. Being able to exercise in the different parks was a nice break from being in the gym, although I love their gym too. It’s not your traditional gym. There weren’t any weights or machines around. Almost all of the training we did was sans equipment, sometimes a kettle bell or a resistance band or a jump rope. And each work out is different so you are never bored or know what to expect. A good and a bad thing!
All of the trainers/​coaches are wonderful: beautiful, strong, and motivating. Each of them became my muse. When you are surrounded by women who are healthy and happy, it really pushes you to achieve those same goals. They were all so helpful and accommodating, whether you needed a modification to an exercise you were doing or a food substitute. They also send out weekly newsletter emails that include the meal plans and recipes, and to give you words of encouragement, as well as provide nutrition and fit tips. They support you and they push you.
As far as my results go, I don’t normally weigh or measure myself, but I can just FEEL the difference. You know sometimes you have those fat days where you just can’t fit into any of your clothes? Well, I don’t have those anymore. I even have some abs! I was a varsity athlete throughout high school and I can honestly say I have not felt or looked better in my life.
Kaia also has peak performance programs where you can train for a triathlon or other athletic endeavors. They will also sporadically organize hikes and fun, active things to do on the weekend.
Here’s the caveat: I only tried this program because I literally didn’t have to spend any money on it. But still, for the results, the prices are very reasonable. The program that I did (normally a 5 week program, not 6) runs $ 129. It’s not something I can afford to do all year round like some of the ladies, but a great deal to get in the best shape of your life. They also offer a 5 day a week, 6 week Bikini BRIK program for $ 229. I think I will try that next!

This is my first review on Unilocal,but I felt compelled to let everyone know what a great job they do here. My wife started attending these classes a month ago. She has not stopped talking about it since. She has gained a new attutude towards working out and the results has been outstanding. She has also made some great friends. Go check it out!
