Hi!
I’m Kendra Gail and I can't wait to work with you! Here's a little of my backstory... I am bringing over 3 decades of dance experience, which gave me extensive knowledge of body awareness, balance, strength, flexibility and agility training. I trained at the Grand Rapids Ballet School, Wealthy Theatre Contemporary Ballet Company, Houston Ballet and then graduated from The Ailey School, the official school of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.
​
By 2006, after working through a few injuries and years of watching my diet, I traded in my ballet slippers and callused feet for gym shoes, medicine balls, resistance bands and free weights. In 2008 I returned to the stage by competing in a natural bodybuilding competition with INBF, placing in both figure and best body divisions. That helped me transitioned into my new career as a personal trainer.
​
In 2010 I founded KGB Fitness with the intention of offering, personal training, lifestyle fitness and stress management coaching, with a focus on a prenatal and postpartum specialty. I worked one-on-one and with groups by providing coaching, bootcamps, workshops, and leading wellness retreats.
​
I have spent a lifetime refining my skills and expertise through continuing education in health, wellness, and fitness certification programs. As a result, I was mentioned in the Santa Monica Mirror for my HIIT style workouts in 2016, featured in Phoenix Focus Magazine in 2015 and awarded the Proclamation of the City of Jersey City issued by Mayor Steven Fulop in 2013. Now most of my services are available online!
