Kelley creates such a welcoming and fun environment in her gym. But don't let that fool you - the workouts are tough! The Labor Day workout was one of the best - creative, challenging and fun!

She was great she did all my measurements and we did a max to see where I am. Itβs really nice to have someone show you the correct methods and set you up a program to work on your goals and weight.

I had zero intention on joining a gym. My previous gym experiences were awful. I just wanted a form check to properly utilize my new home gym. Koa was perfect for that. One session, no commitment, and I could move on- but I didn't want to! Nobody tried to "sell" or pressure me; I just fell in love. A year and a half later and I'm still coming back multiple times a week. Koa is a gym where you can be you. It's a place to go whether you want a community, expert coaching, or to just do your own thing. Kelley is my coach and she is amazing. She is full of knowledge and she actually listens to your needs and wants. Kelley is one of the most dedicated people I know and provides amazing support. Now, I'm stronger than I ever thought I could be. I feel so much more alive than I ever thought possible. Walking in that door was truly life changing and if you got this far in this review, you should try it too!

We have all done it. Sign up for a gym membership that we don't use and cancel as soon as their contract allows. That won't happen at KOA! Kelley and Pete have created a family of support around their members. Heck, they welcome you into their actual family. Accountability. Dog friendly. Kid "encouraged." Judgement free. Empowering. Welcoming to all. You won't regret going to KOA to improve every inch of your overall health.

This is by far my favorite gym of the many I have used over the years. It has a genuine community culture, and everyone is there to make real progress in their health goals. You can find help from expert trainers, or you can feel free to do your own thing. They have whatever you need!

Koa is the kind of gym where if you don't show up for a few days, the owner texts and tells you you're missed. I'm amazed at the effort Kelley makes every day to make sure every client has what they need to achieve their goals. This gym is a fun, strong, supportive community. No matter what history, athletic ability, or challenges you might have, there will be something here for you and a whole bunch of people excited to see you discover your strength.

This little gym and Kelley Rubish have totally changed my life! I took classes with Kelley at Maxed Out and have followed her since she branched out on her own and have totally changed my life in the process. Down 60 lb and off all prescribed cholesterol and BP meds in a year and half and for the first time in my life, I'm maintaining the weight loss. The culture in this little gym have helped me get in the best health and shape of my life.

Koa has literally changed my life. Itβs a family not just a gym. I started at Koa back in 2020 when the pandemic started and have been there ever since. My trainer/coach Sarah is the absolute best! Sheβs been with me year after year, meet after meet, and the rest of the Koa trainers/owners/peeps are the best people and are like family! Kelley and Pete really made a special place in Koa! I recommend Koa for all fitness levels and once youβve been there for a while and want to dabble, I highly recommend joining the Koa powerlifting team!

Fantastic gym with something for everyone. They take care of the brand new athlete and the world class (literally) athlete, the old and the young. Great environment, knowledgeable (and very helpful) coaches, and top tier powerlifting equipment (including calibrated KG plates)!

If you don't like being sore and making progress then don't try this place out. You will work hard and change your mindset in a positive environment. You will start to enjoy jello legs after leg days

The staff and members at Koa Strength and Fitness are amazing. The staff is so knowledgeable and motivating. The enthusiasm, positivit, support, and encouragement is better than any gym of which I've been a member! The classes are challenging and I've gotten the BEST results from them. The classes are also structured so that beginners and experienced lifters alike can work out together. If you're looking for a HIIT/Strength training workout with the most amazing people...this is your place.

This studio is amazing. Kelley has taught me to eat clean, lose fat, gain muscle, and lift heavy. This gym offers training for everyone, from overweight soccer moms to athletes who already lift heavy. Almost everyone who walks in the door stays. As a group, we help each other and cheer everyone on. Cattiness and negativity are not allowed. This gym and Kelley have changed my life.

Trying to find the time to get back in shape was going to be a daunting task until I found Koa Fitness. Kelley is amazing and the group classes are hard but can accommodate every fitness level. You are instantly part of the Koa Family and the encouragement and fun that the program provides makes you want to work harder and get stronger. I have recommended them to all of my friends and stand by that recommendation wholeheartedly! Koa is the best!
