I will incorporate your favorite foods into your personalized meal plan. You will constantly enjoy your workout routines and I will keep you motivated throughout. I'm very respectful of your time by always being present to the task at hand. No cell phones, no distractions, no excessive chit chat. Just a motivating, kick-ass workout that gets you results.
You bring the commitment to work hard daily, and I will supply what's needed for success. It is important you stay focused and see each day as a new beginning. Forget what happened yesterday, make today a better day. I want you to always try your best, don't waste your time or mine. It's important you do your homework and do as I say when we are not together. The gym is my office, so you need to trust me with the advice I give you, its the only way I can guarantee results.

My training philosophy is three fold: physical, mental, and spiritual. In the physical aspect, I design a healthy nutrition plan, a challenging weight resistance program, an enjoyable cardio routine, and adequate daily rest. In the mental aspect, I motivate you to think positively, encourage you to move closer toward your fitness goals, and visualize your future success. In the spiritual aspect, I encourage relaxing activities such as yoga, proper breathing techniques, flexibility, and meditation. It is important that you focus your efforts on all three. I guarantee you will enjoy a healthier lifestyle you can easily maintain.

I am certified through 24 Hour fitness as a Group Instructor for: Everlast Shadowboxing, Amp'd Abs, and 24Cycle (spinning). I am also CPR/AED certified and fully insured.

TK hails from Kamuela, Hawaii. He grew up extremely overweight. During high school, when baby fat seemed to remove itself from other students, TK seemed to gain even more weight. In Hawaii, where staple foods consist of white rice, pork, processed canned foods, corned beef hash, and spam, eating other than what is on the kitchen table is not an option. He found himself unhappy, unhealthy and unmotivated. When TK began college in 1999 he was surrounded by positive, healthy people and was able to find the desire and passion to not only look better but to feel better doing it. This new way of life helped him realize the benefits of healthy eating and regular exercise.

TK worked in sales for a few years after earning his Bachelor's Degree but soon became unsatisfied. Once again the weight returned. As he worked hard one summer to get rid of the excess weight, he realized two important things: he loved working out and he loved helping other people. The strong desire to be a Health and Fitness Professional was born. He soon became a Certified Personal Trainer at Gold's Gym and 24 Hour Fitness. He then went out on his own and started TK Fitness LA. Throughout his five year career he has helped numerous clients find the desire and passion to not only look better but to feel better doing it.
