Kelley is absolutely wonderful! If you're even a little apprehensive she will make you feel welcome and no question is too dumb! Lol The gym is clean and professional! I can't say enough positive things about Koa!!!
Laid back and motivating atmosphere! Love the coaching throughout the workouts! Exactly what I was looking for!
My coach encourages me even when I feel like I have backslid due to surgery. She keeps me on track and helps me focus on what’s important instead of freaking out over absolutely everything.
Mary was the coach, and she was fabulous!
Mary gave great institution for the class to make sure that we were performing the movements properly. The class was upbeat and definitely hit the targeted areas.
Koa is probably one of a hand full of gym in the whole US that are as welcoming and encouraging. Singles come, parents come, kids come, grandparents come,.dogs come. Everyone is welcome. There is a deep sense of community and everyone helps everyone else. As for Pete, my wonderful powerlifting coach, I can't say enough good. He is both laid back and keen minded. He is really sensitive to what needs to be continued or changed in order for me to continue to progress.
My coach does great every day. I have a more positive outlook on life since joint KOA. The atmosphere and people are great!
Danya is such a kind and helpful yoga instructor. Coming off of a surgery she is very helpful and is always checking in during class. Makes me happy to be back!
Such a great experience every time I attend. Kelley is always adjusting class to people's struggle and also pushing them to be better!
Coach Danya was awesome. She really took the time to notice my small knee issue and didn’t just brush it off. She carefully explained options for several different poses that would avoid strain while still giving me a solid workout. It felt like she was paying close attention to how my body was responding, adjusting the session in real time to keep me comfortable but challenged. That level of care made the whole experience at Koa Strength and Fitness very enjoyable, and I left feeling both supported and stronger.
Kelley always keeps us on our toes providing challenging but fun workouts.
Mary is an amazing coach,she makes sure I know how to do the movements and is willing to show me how to do them if I don't know what the movements are. She is a great coach!
Had a blast!! Woo!!
Mary is great. She is always helpful, takes the time to make sure you are doing the movement correctly..she makes working out fun.
Danya cheerfully greeted the class and asked where soreness most dwelt in the member's body. Danya always targets physical pains so she can alleviate the pain with special yoga techniques incorporated into her program for that session.
Coach Kelley motivates me to do more and work harder in order to make progress in my fitness journey. She’s knowledgeable, cheerful, and upbeat - just what I need at 6:15 AM when I’m still waking up and need that extra push. During each session at Koa Strength and Fitness, she pays close attention to my form, offering clear guidance and adjusting exercises to fit my level. Her positive energy makes early mornings feel less like a chore and more like a chance to challenge myself. Knowing she’s there, encouraging me to keep going even when I want to slow down, has helped me stay consistent and actually look forward to workouts. The combination of her expertise and enthusiasm creates an environment where I feel supported and capable of making real progress.
As always Kelley was great!! Best coach ever.
My coach was very honest with me and encouraging. She always makes me feel so loved!
It was wild ! 😁🙃👍
Koa is the best place to go workout and have a safe and productive environment! There’s no other gym or group of trainers I’d recommend more!
Kelley and the Koa family are amazing. I love going to the gym and feeling comfortable to push myself in a supportive environment with such great guidance and company. Thank you Koa fam!!
Christina is fabulous, she always pushes us to do the best can! So thankful to have her!!!
Stacey does a great job demonstrating and coaching for technique. She is encouraging and also offers alternative movements, if needed.
Kelly is great! She puts up with a lot from us but keeps smiling. She’s a great coach.
She is amazing! You may not want to do it ! Just show up and you will not regret it! Always fun, encouraging.
Kelley is awesome. Her wisdom and encouragement have helped me reach goals I didn’t think were possible.
Had a blast! Great workout, great friends, great music!!!
Kelley is the best!
He did a great job! I have had some restrictions on lower body workouts so he adapted and focused on upper body only, it was inventive and not redundant and not boring! I would recommend him and the other people at this gym to anyone!
I usually go to the 10 o’clock class… But I really enjoyed the evening class today. Always a great workout! The instructors are great!
She was great she did all my measurements and we did a max to see where I am. It’s really nice to have someone show you the correct methods and set you up a program to work on your goals and weight.
Class was very enjoyable. A good flow, some new poses, good instructions and even where the areas should be working.
Love love love it!
Had a great first meeting with Coach Danya today! Looking forward to following her advice and becoming the best version of myself.
Provided an uplifting, empowering strength experience. 10/10
This review is for Lichelle. I thought she was awesome and so kind. It was my very first class with KOA so everything was new and she was super helpful in explaining things to me. I would love to go to another class of hers.
Kelley is great! She’s always there to answer any questions and will push and motivate you to your full potential! Love Kelley and KOA! ❤️🌺
Kelley is the best, as always!
I always look forward to and enjoy our sessions. One of the highlights of my week. Very calm and relaxing and i always walk out feeling better than when I came in
Love the experience at this gym! My favorite of the many gyms I have visited over the years. Kelley knows what works!
The class was fun & Amy is always a good time! Very encouraging.
Lifts are up. Weight is down. Can’t beat that.

Best instructor ever!
Great 1st class session. Ready to get into it more. Very beginner friendly. Instructor was informative and explained positions and alternatives well!
Great session! We love KOA 🫶
I love working out at Koa! Kelley makes every class fun and challenging. The 5 am class is the best!
Amazing. Easy to follow. I leave with those happy endorphins that stick with me for the rest of the day.
Heavy squats
Kelley is awesome to work with!! I’d recommend her to anyone!
The classes are always great, it's the best gym ever! 😃
Always a great class with Kelly! She explains the exercises and gives me alternatives to do in the event I can’t perform the ones on the board! She is the best!
On Tuesdays a group of ladies meet at 6:00 am for the Open Gym Workout. Kelley is always available to coach us through the exercises we’re unfamiliar with. I love our mornings getting Stronger Together!
Madison is fantastic. She is helpful and encouraging.
