Such a fantastic way to start the day. Koi has a mix of kettlebell classes in front of the De Young and jogs around the park (Strawberry Hill is a favorite destination) where stretchy bands are used along the way for resistance training. It’s a well-rounded workout that is as good for the mind as it is for the body. It’s great to feel challenged and well supported by the instructors and peers. (Neil’s enthusiasm and words of encouragement make even the harder parts more doable!)

I have been working out with Koi fitness for a long time, perhaps 12 years. I have run multiple races including marathons and have credited my overall fitness to the Koi trainers. Stevan is the best motivator around. I love the Koi community, we work hard and also spend time socializing, brunch, parties etc. I am 70+ years young. I would encourage all age and fitness levels to come and workout with Koi. They are the best.

I am not a morning workout person and was dragged to Koi Fitness by a friend some 10+ years ago. I was immediately hooked, inspired by the most beautiful gym in the world (Golden Gate Park and, on Saturdays, Baker Beach), a challenging workout and a warm, fun and supportive community. I have been so impressed by Stevan’s and his instructors’ ability to work simultaneously with people at multiple skill and age levels, whether strong athletes, cancer survivors, or people nursing injuries – we all get the best workout for wherever we are. Unfortunately, I’ve been in that nursing-an-injury category a few times over the last decade, and Stevan and instructors have always worked with me to address and accommodate with their in-depth knowledge of sports injuries, referrals and alternative exercises. Koi is also a welcoming community and has facilitated multiple diverse, multi-year friendships that have extended well beyond our workouts. Not only do I get a great mix of cardio and strength, but I also spend a good part of the sessions laughing. I know that I am a happier, healthier and stronger person as a result of Koi. It is simply one of the best ways to start the day.

I totally love working out with Koi Fitness! A great group of people and a friendly atmosphere. Stevan is a fantastic instructor who gets to know the people in his class, and he always makes the workouts new and enjoyable. I highly recommend trying a class and you'll definitely want to come back.

Joining Koi Fitness is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life! The classes are well-organized, the trainers (especially Stevan) are amazing, and we love working out with a group of people who are motivating and encouraging at the same time. My husband and I have been working out with Koi since 2011! Stevan plans out each workout thoughtfully so the days complement each other, and one week builds on top of the other. It’s great to just show up and do the work, and not having to think about what’s next while doing the activities. We also love the people we work out with, many have been with Koi Fitness than we have, which speaks for itself in terms of the quality of the training exercises, and the benefit (both physical mental) we receive by working out in Golden Gate Park and Baker Beach. I have worked with other personal trainers before, but have yet to meet a trainer more knowledgeable and humble as Stevan. He is the best!!
