History

Established in 2005.

CEO/​Founder, Kathy Jo Burgett (aka KB) managed a chain of athletic clubs for over 14 years. When those clubs closed she knew exactly what she wanted to create. A group exercise studio, located in South San Jose, that specialized in small size classes and/​or one-​on-​one personal training. Offer high quality instruction/​classes at an extremely great value. And lastly create a community where everyone has fun exercising. Friendships are made and look forward to seeing one another in class. At KB Fitness Exercise Studio we know when you don’t show up — that means our clients gets the results they are looking for.

Meet the Business Owner

Kathy Jo B.

Business Owner

I graduated with my BA degree in Physical Education. Back then, they didn’t have «exercise physiology» as they do today. My emphasis was dance & coaching. I minored in finance. Even though they didn’t have health clubs in those days, I knew I wanted to own my own fitness center. After college I worked in the corporate world. Although I longed to teach and «entertain» clients through movement & exercise. In 1993 I took a leap of faith and quit my corporate job and began this wonderful journey in the health and fitness community. I’ve never looked back. I feel so blessed to be doing what I love. Everyday I get to push people to limits they wouldn’t believe they could go. I make them laugh. Sometimes we cry; but at KB Fitness Exercise Studio we do it «together».

I have taken a few of the classes as well as getting personal training with KB and her trainers. First time I have felt comfortable exercising. Don’t get me wrong, she works you hard and you will feel like you are sore the next day, but comfortable in the sense that it seems like a community. No intimidation and lots of encouragement, while still feeling like you are getting REAL advice from a REAL trainer.

KB is one of the most amazing people I have met. Her studio is amazing, and the Energy you feel when you walk into her studio is Encouraging, Inspiring, and makes you feel like you can conquer the world! I have been over-​weight since my new job and was extremely intimidated getting back into the swing of things. She took me right under her Wing and I have been going 1 – 2 times per week. Slowly but surly I am getting back into shape. I really liked how she did not push me toooo much my first time, many trainers like to make sure you can’t walk the next day. No thank you!
I am also so impressed with her Business, I mean to be a small business owner and have that kind of operation is nothing short of Spectacular! It really speaks volume to the kind of person she is and her Business Acumen. Kudos to KB!!!
Thank you for Inspiring me KB and so many other’s out there like me! You Rock!

Not a gym person? Hate those intimidating group large group classes at the gym? Then here’s your solution: Go to KB Fitness! KB’s fitness classes are fun, challenging, and definitely gets you to break a sweat. I was obsessed with KB’s body sculpting class and it definitely jump started my journey to becoming fit. Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford the class packages since I’m already paying for a gym and yoga membership. If you’re looking for a fun and motivating workout experience, then definitely get your butt up and get to KB Fitness!

Did the 6 week bootcamp classes, they were awesome! The whole 6 weeks I don’t think I did the same workout twice, it was great. Instructors are very motivating and make the class fun at the same time. Definitely recommend this for anybody who wants to get into great shape, I was really happy with my results.

Back in September I bought a good deal on Groupon for 6 weeks of unlimited exercise classes for around $ 30 – 35 which is a very great deal. I liked coming here to workout because the instructors and front desk receptionists were cool and friendly. Also, the owner is cool with me so I am somewhat curious to see how she is rude and condescending as how others have mentioned on Unilocal.I would like to join the regular membership if only it wasn’t too pricey for monthly membership fees.

While reformer classes are still challenging to get into, I have been called in for the wait list several times. I have had classes with all of the reformer instructors and am really pleased with the quality of the instruction. I have a nice «I just worked out soreness» the next day, that tells me that I’m getting results. I am pleased with the care the instructors take to offer modifications it I am having issues with my hip flexors.

I’ve been going to KB Fitness for over a year now. I take their Pilates Reformer classes and the Body Sculpt class. They do have some of the best pricing for the reformers, and I recommend becoming a member to get classes when you want them. The advanced reformers courses take extra commitment; both KB and Judy will do a wonderful job keeping you fit and challenged. I also take the body sculpt classes that KB runs, and boy-​oh-​boy will you get in shape fast! While this isn’t a full-​service athletic club, I do enjoy going to a fitness center that attracts younger people, even though I happen to be older. Most everyone, including the instructors, are fun, enthusiastic and care about your fitness goals. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone who seriously wants to get in shape.

I got a groupon for 6 weeks for bootcamp classes. First day it felt, this is not for me. End of the first week i was like this is tough. After detox and in the second week… oh my I love it…
Danny and Lucas are awesome! I love the fact that their boot camp classes are new every time. This was my first time in my life taking boot camp classes. They are so helpful, they show how to modify the excercise to your comfort level. Lucas shows you not only how to, also how not to do it, to prevent injuries. Unfortunately after 3 weeks I had to move to Indiana. If I come back to san jose I am definitely going back to this place.

I have been coming to KB fitness for about 1.5 years. I had hurt my back and my doctor recommended reformer pilates. Doing the pilates class once a week has helped my back immensely! KB is very knowledgeable and will give you a great workout. Kit is also a great teacher and always leaves me feeling great. I have also tried and liked the trampoline class and TRX.
Linsey at the front desk has always been very helpful and nice!

I love KB Fitness. I started with the 10 reformer class groupon and after my classes were over I was hooked. I love how they periodically have deals for either membership or classes. The staff is wonderful. I love KB’s Advanced Reformer Class. I definitely feel the difference in my body and I can see the results. It’s crazy how my body aches when I DON’T attend her class at least once a week. I have also taken reformer classes with Kit and Cynthia. They are both fantastic teachers. Personally I like KB’s style the most because she really pushes you. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a good workout. Be ready to sweat!

Very rarely do I write a negative review but I need to put this out there for anyone who is considering this place… I was a very loyal customer but has such a bad experience involving both the front desk employee Linsay and the owner that I cancelled my membership. What others have said is true but I could not continue to support a business where there is so much manipulation and dishonesty.

My saving grace!!! This studio is Amazing, and so are the owner kb and her staff. I moved to San Jose a little over 6 mnths ago and was going through Pilates reformer withdrawals. I moved from the walnut creek area where I had an amazing studio. After trying a few places around the area I found kb fitness. I do Pilates twice a week here and adore it. The classes are group classes which I prefer. There are 8 reformers I believe. Kb has an amazing way of teaching Pilates and in my opinion is the best teacher I have come across, I have been practicing Pilates for about 8 years now. I have also taken the my fitness bootcamp classes with Danny and Lucas, they are very high energy and atleast for me are a great way to get some of my cardio in. They have a few membership options to fit everyone’s budgets. I wish I had more time in my week I would be there everyday.

KB Fitness is just amazing! You can try anything you want from pilates reformer to TRX to trampoline!!! If you are like me and try everything, this is the place to be. Plus KB is such an inspiring woman. She is always here to motivate you. She is tough but I guess that is why I like her so much.
I also do the bootcamp class where Lucas kick our ass everytime !! Such a good workout! Keep on going guys!
KB you are the BEST!

Great massages by Roman Paradigm Massage team here. Sports massage therapy and clinical massage. You may hear instructors in other rooms during their busy times but the massages rock.

I bought a groupon for a 10 pack of Pilates reformer classes after my friend told me about it. She was taking a Tuesday night class with Danielle and loved it. I started taking the classes with her and loved it as well.
Danielle is an awesome instructor! She’s friendly and knowledgable about Pilates. She changes up the workouts a lot and gives you 3 levels to chose from for the moves so that you can start slow and challenge yourself once you have been coming for awhile. I also like how she tells you what each move is strengthening. She really gives you a full body workout! I was really sore after my first couple of classes but I stuck with it and can now do more reps with a higher resistance. I can definitely tell the difference in my muscle tone.
I took one class with KB and she started the class like 7 minutes late and ended it a couple minutes early. The class itself was fine but it annoyed me that it was short.
I’ve also taken a few classes with Kit. At first I didn’t like her classes, but she’s gotten better at increasing the pace of the class and switching it up more.
I ended up buying a 6 pack of classes after my groupon and did them with Danielle. I just bought another 6 pack so I can continue training with her. She is the reason I go to KB Fitness!
P. S. the reason I didn’t give it five stars is because I don’t like how the bathrooms are single occupancy instead of having some sort of locker room with showers. Definitely makes it hard to change.

WOW, what a great deal! I just bought the Groupon 10 Pilates Reformer class for $ 79 and created a profile and made an appointment on their online website. Having the online booking engine was really helpful. KB Fitness is next to TJ Maxx and Sees Candy. Once I got there, check in was easy and the class started on time.
TIP: Pilates Reformer classes fill up really quick because they only have 8 spots so book about 3 – 5 days in advance.
This is my first time at a pilates class and the teacher was really helpful telling us what spring colors to choose for resistance. I highly recommend this class for a full total body workout. This is a great strength training class to compliment yoga. I’m definitely looking forward to going back!

I discovered this place via a Living Social deal — perfect timing too, since I had just quit my 24 Hour Fitness membership. I’ve tried group exercise classes a few times before, but never really enjoyed them — mainly because I’m completely uncoordinated and like to do whatever I feel like at the time.
My first two weeks here were actually slightly disappointing — the classes I was attending were barely offering me slight toning. I would walk out of an hour of class not even fazed at all, and actually started walking 4 miles round trip to class just to try get a decent workout for the day. My last few classes have been great though — all of them taught by KB. Don’t get me wrong… the other instructors are wonderful as well, but definitely lower intensity.
All staff and members are great — very positive environment.
Pilates Reformer classes are nice because there are only 5 people max per class, so definitely a lot of individualized attention. The other classes allow more people, but you still have to sign up for the class ahead of time to make sure you get a spot. Some classes fill up quick, but some you can call and sign up for a few hours before class.
KB Fitness used to be located on Blossom Hill Road tucked in the corner by Sports Authority, but as of this month, moved to the Almaden Plaza next to See’s Candies (also in the same shopping center as Costco, Ross, and Trader Joe’s). The new location is much larger and has air conditioning.
I’m not sure what the babysitting policy is here, but I’ve seen people bring in their kids and still be able to attend a class, so it seems like a good choice for moms. Happy Mother’s Day!
