Please note that this review reflects my personal experience and understanding. Joining the 6-week fitness challenge with KFS was a great experience. I initially discovered the program through a social media ad promoting a free challenge and decided to book an appointment. However, upon arrival, I learned there was a $500 fee to participate, which was an unexpected surprise. Despite my initial disappointment, I decided to take the chance and commit, as fitness was my priority and I was looking for a challenge to push myself at the gym. Completing the following steps will qualify for the $500 refund. The challenge required choosing between two goals: either a 6% weight loss or a combination of 3% muscle gain and 3% weight loss. Along with this, there were additional requirements, such as checking in on Facebook each time I visited, posting 18 facility-related pictures, sharing a weekly grocery haul, and completing weekly weigh-ins. Tomorrow marks the completion of my 6-week challenge, and I must say that KFS provides experienced, knowledgeable trainers who are both friendly and approachable. They take the time to understand your personal fitness goals and are very supportive in helping you achieve them. The facility itself is exceptionally clean and well-equipped. The KFS allows you to book one hour gym access for our own workout routines. It also offers a variety of training options, including kickboxing, personal training, and group sessions. Amenities such as free WiFi, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryers, earbuds etc are available for members. The gym features multiple showers, restrooms, and lockers, ensuring convenience for all members. Booking an appointment in advance is required for every visit, and access is granted through a simple tap on the Kisi app. The gym is never overcrowded, creating a welcoming and comfortable workout environment. I understand (though confirmation with the gym is advised) that 6-week challenge participants can cancel appointments without penalty, whereas regular members may incur a $20 charge for cancellations made less than 12 hours in advance. One of the highlights of my experience was the weekly meal plan provided by my trainer after the initial orientation. The plan is adjusted based on weekly weigh-ins and tailored to individual dietary preferences and allergies. The accompanying meal app offers video instructions, a nutritional breakdown, and easy-to-follow recipes, making meal prep simple and effective. The TBS morning sessions, held Monday through Saturday at 6:00 AM, are the best for achieving fitness goals. However, beginners are advised to start with three sessions per week, as these workouts are highly intense and can lead to total burnout if overdone. Each TBS session lasts one hour, consisting of a warm-up, a trainer-led workout, and a cool-down. The gym spans two levels—a basement and Level 1—with access through either a black alley door or a glass door, both requiring an appointment in advance. The booking app is user-friendly, allowing members to plan their workouts efficiently. Throughout the challenge, KFS emphasized the importance of following the diet plan, drinking three liters of water daily, and maintaining sufficient sleep to sustain a healthy lifestyle. The gym fosters a warm, respectful, and encouraging atmosphere, making it an excellent place for anyone looking to improve their fitness and refine their techniques. Overall, I enjoyed my 6-week challenge at KFS, and my biggest takeaway is the commitment to making fitness a lifelong goal. A huge thank you Borja, Rhaul, Elnaz and Brennan for their incredible support and attentiveness throughout the training sessions.

I joined the KFS team for a 6-week fitness challenge. Through the experience, I have grown to once again like the gym, and have developed good habits that will definitely serve me well in the future. My experiences with the trainers has been great, and it's been wonderful to have the space to move and ready availability of high-level equipment. I will have a hard time finding such a great gym and supportive group! Last note that Paula was my trainer, and she has been such an amazing, supportive part of my exercise journey. It was fantastic to have her support, and she did a great job!

I really enjoy training at Kalev fitness. Its a good size private gym and doesn’t feel like any of the other popular gyms. All of the trainers are very friendly, approachable and helpful. I am at the end of one of their 6 week challenges with Alochen as my trainer. He is an inspiration and really pushed me to get my fitness game on track. Great value for money and incredible trainers like Paula and Martin. Samer at front desk and Bryan the manager are both exceptional at working around your schedule to fit in your PT sessions and answering any questions you may have about what Kalev has to offer! I am looking at getting a membership and continue my journey with Alochen and the KFS family. I would definitely recommend KFS if you are looking to make a change for the good in your fitness journey.
