HIS JOURNEY
Kevin Kim started his fitness journey in high school, where he played football and ran track and field. He came back to his love of fitness after graduating college. Working full-time and not taking care of himself, he had gained a lot of weight — tipping the scales at 200 pounds and 31% body fat.
He decided he needed a change. He started practicing CrossFit. CrossFit changed his life and improved his focus. While working to attain maximum fitness, Kim lost weight — slimming down to 155 pounds and 11% body fat.
After realizing his goals, Kim trained to become a certified CrossFit therapist and became the head coach at a box in East Hollywood. He also became a Nike Training Club Trainer, and a CAMTC Therapist experienced with myofascial release, IASTM, cupping, electric therapy, and deep tissue. He loves working with kids and is a Certified Kids Trainer.
Now, as the owner of K2 CrossFit, Kim is a personal trainer working with clients like Alessandro Zanet — the Fittest Man in Los Angeles — and specializes in training for women through CrossFit programming. He's also expanded his CrossFit specializations into Gymnastics and Barbell.
Kim describes himself as a recovery specialist who believes training, sleeping, and eating well every day are the keys to healthy recovery — the ingredients of a happy life. He's well-versed in Flobility Spine Training (rebuilding and repairing posture), and owns CBD Rehab LA, the exclusive distributor of CBD Medic to Koreatown and Downtown Los Angeles.
When Kim isn't at the box training himself or others, he enjoys eating healthy meals, getting plenty of rest, and relaxing with friends and family.
