Kimberly Lou

Kimberly Lou is hands down the best trainer I’ve worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of trainers over the years because I am on camera all the time. Kim took her time with me and taught me that I don’t have to torture myself every day at the gym. She taught me how to do these high intensity interval sets that allowed the perfect amount of rest to restore my ATP levels without killing myself. I’m not that savvy in knowing what it takes to make the body lose weight but Kim is. She is a beautiful person inside and out and only wants the best for her clients. She truly cared about me, as a person and would not take my money unless she thought she could help. Kim is way more educated than most trainers and has been going to school for years. She knows exactly what it takes to shred your body and prevent injuries. I had major injuries to my neck and Kim took the time to study my injury and find out exactly how to work out around it. I’ve never had a trainer research my injury, to me that is going above and beyond. I lost all the weight I wanted and shredded down to my TV body which is about 15% body fat. This was not an easy task because I love to eat and drink wine, but Kim didn’t make me feel bad about my big appetite, she just showed me how to view food as beautiful. Kimberly Lou is one of the sweetest most caring people I have ever met. One session with Kim and you will know that not only does she know more than most trainers, she actually cares about you. In a trainer I want experience and education, and Kimberly has both.

Kim is SUCH an incredible woman. She is such a great listener and when you’re talking to her you feel such warmth from her and it’s because she ACTUALLY CARES! She is professional, caring, giving, very organized, punctual and just a really great person to have around you and motivate you. I recommend her highly!

Seemed nice enough, but I found Kimberly unprofessional and unreliable.
I have been in the market for a good personal trainer for some time, so having met her once at a fitness event recently, she eagerly gave me her business card and asked me to call her.
I called the next day, and sent an email — and she never bothered to return the call. Very «L.A.» But I understand it is hard for a older mother to try to run a real business.
While I was doubtful that a woman her age could train someone much younger (40s) and athletic as myself, she probably does well with housewives and seniors. Turned out fine, I found a reliable, considerate and professional trainer the very next week.
A self-​described «Executive Life Manangement Coach» (spelling error from her website) yet I did not see where she earned a graduate or even undergraduate degree in Counseling, and counseling people without a license in California is a crime and she has never been an «executive» anything herself. People she should be cautious paying someone unlicensed and unqualified to tell them how to manage their «executive life.»
A self-​proclaimed expert in nutrition, I did not see that she has is a licensed nutritionist in the State of California, but I expect people can call the State Bureau of Licensing to double check.
I was surprised to learn from her Unilocal description below, that Equinox interviewed 1,500 people for one trainer position. That is a lot of people, would fill the Pantages Theater. Strange. Wouldn’t think it was that hard in Los Angeles for Equinox to find a qualified trainer. At least she looks many years younger in the pictures she posted here.

If you find yourself reading Unilocal reviews and wondering if you should give training with Kimberly Lou a chance, I’d like to say you should. Like most people, I have a complex relationship with my body and fitness level. Kimberly Lou has helped me simplify that relationship and get in better shape physically and mentally. I am steadily losing weight in a healthy, nurturing way. The sessions are challenging but I never find myself checking the clock. And I leave the gym feeling better than when I walked in.

When I first met Kim at a aqua fitness class in July, I was suffering from a bad back, sciatica & an extra 17 lbs. that I just couldn’t get rid of :(Suffice it to say, I was very frustrated with my overall health & fitness! What Kim offered to me was a fresh, new approach to health & fitness. I’ve been a gym rat for many years & had lost interest in all of it. Kim is so different! She put together an awesome plan of healthy eating for life, supplements to support my body’s needs, exercises that change each session to target specific areas; all done with incredible knowledge, encouragement & kindness! She closely supervises each exercise to be done the CORRECT way instead of causing further injury by incorrectly doing it. I am excited to go the the gym & workout EVERY SINGLE TIME! My goal when I started with Kim 9 wks ago was to lose 15 lbs and get toned for my sisters wedding in October. I have surpassed my goal in pounds, inches, body fat%, a toned body & learning how to maintain a healthy lifestyle with fresh & delicious food! EXTRA BONUS… my husband & son are reaping the benefits & are her clients now :)

Kimberly Lou is a conscientious, motivating, tough, yet kind trainer. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.

Kimberly Lou has been a life saver! As a busy mom and entrepreneur, I don’t have time to work on myself any more. Kimberly has helped me find focus and makes my workouts manageable without overworking my body so that I’m still functional the next day. I recommend her to anyone who feels like the just don’t have time but know they need to get exercise in to lift their body, mind, and spirit.
