“Five years ago I started training with Kaori because I wanted real change, not another quick fix. Kaori delivered. She is professional, caring, and truly knowledgeable, and she communicates in a way that makes everything doable. As a busy mom, my schedule is always moving, and Kaori’s flexibility kept me consistent. She adjusted plans when life happened, guided my nutrition without overwhelming me, and celebrated every win with me. The physical results have been significant, and the biggest win is how I feel day to day. I have more energy, more strength, and more confidence as a mom. Kaori is dedicated, likable, and simply great at what she does.”

"Training with Kaori has turned into working out with a friend who cares about me as a whole. She is seasoned enough to adjust her plan to accommodate how I’m feeling at the time, makes every session pass by quickly, and is patient and approachable. Because of her, I actually look forward to training and view it as though I’m going to go see a buddy. She’s allowed me to become more consistent and stronger in my daily life."

"Kaori is an amazing trainer. I started working with her because I wanted to get back in shape after having a baby. Since working with her, I feel stronger, more confident, have better endurance and less joint pain. Working with Kaori is wonderful, she’s motivating, patient and makes workouts approachable and fun. She’s easy to schedule with, supportive, and I always leave feeling encouraged. I even recommended her to my husband, and he loves training with her too!"

"On a family trip in the spring of 2024, I thought I was gonna die. I was snorkeling, a thing I had done many times in the past, but this time an important factor had changed. I was fat and out of shape, and it took nearly drowning off the coast of Hawai’i for me to realize just how bad it had gotten. 

When I needed it the most, the universe threw me a lifebuoy in the form of Kaori Takee. I mean, I asked around and my friend was already a client and passed my info to Kaori, but I digress. 

Since that spring, Kaori has turned my life around with her knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm for helping others achieve their fitness goals. I hate to think what shape I’d be in without her guidance which has made me the strongest I’ve ever been.

Kaori is the real deal and I couldn’t be happier with her as a trainer."

"I can’t say enough great things about Kaori. She is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly encouraging and motivating. Every session feels tailored to my needs, and she knows exactly how to push me just the right amount without ever making it overwhelming. She has a gift for explaining things clearly and keeping workouts both challenging and fun. Since training with her, I’ve noticed real progress in my strength, energy, and confidence. She truly cares about my success, and it shows in everything she does. I’m so grateful to have found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely makes a difference."

"Kaori has changed my life! I started training with Kaori to help me with my weight loss journey. It has now been 2 years and I have since been able to reach my weight loss goals and have the knowledge to maintain my health. I have also grown confident in navigating the gym and creating a workout of my own. She keeps you accountable for your choices outside of your sessions. She is a wonderful mentor and friend."

"I have been working with Kaori since 2022 and can confidently say she is one of the best. Kaori is extremely knowledgeable about training and has an attentive, caring personality. She takes the time to listen to your goals and customizes each workout specifically for her clients. Whether you are a beginner or have been training for years, Kaori is an excellent trainer who will motivate and push you toward your next goal. She has been a valuable asset not only to my exercise routine but also to my mental health and overall quality of life."

"I started personal training with Kaori in 2020 during the pandemic.  She was such a creative problem solver when it came to how to work in fitness goals when gyms were closed and motivation was low!  She kept me motivated the whole time and now, five years later, I am a true fitness junkie!  Kaori has taught me so much about training, both the educational side like muscle mass and form, but the emotional side like not being discouraged by the scale and celebrating small victories!  As a busy single mom of two, and a working corporate executive, I found personal training to be the best fit for my schedule to achieve my fitness goals.  Kaori is always flexible, understanding and encouraging.  I can’t go a week without her!"

"I train with long-term goals in mind: staying healthy and building general strength as I age. Kaori keeps me focused and consistent, motivates me to train between sessions, and holds me accountable to the exercises I need (even the ones I don’t love). Because of her, I look and feel better, and most importantly, I stay injury-free. As someone who used to injure himself doing mundane things far too often, that's invaluable."

"I had all but given up on personal fitness before meeting Kaori. Since she became my coach I have had more motivation and support to becoming a healthier and stronger person. She has a great understanding of the human body and muscle groups and designs comprehensive workout plans that never get old or stale. I'm lucky to call her a coach and a friend and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to take control of their body and health."

“Kaori is a super coach! I've been working out with her for several years and feel the difference every day. She has helped me build core strength which removed the frequent back and neck pains I was having, my energy is higher than it has been in a long time, and I've been able to fight off the middle aged Dad body. She's a great voice of encouragement and support. Since working with her I have built a new habit of setting and achieving goals that keep pushing myself.

I'd recommend her to anyone looking for an extra push in their week."

“Starting Kaori’s program has truly been life changing for me. I was actually referred to her by my best friend, who had achieved incredible results with her program. Seeing her results gave me the push I needed to finally reach out, and I’m so glad I did. 

I struggle with hormonal and metabolic issues like PCOS and hypothyroidism which make it incredibly difficult to lose or maintain a healthy weight. Before working with Kaori, I was stuck in a cycle of low energy, unhealthy food cravings, and low confidence. I had tried group fitness classes before, but they always felt too advanced and overwhelming, and I lacked the motivation to stick with them. Gyms intimidated me, and I knew I needed a more personalized approach.

From day one, Kaori made me feel comfortable and supported. Her one-on-one guidance gave me the confidence to start strength training, which turned out to be exactly what my body needed. The slower, weighted workouts didn’t spike my cortisol levels, and I quickly started feeling stronger and more capable. Having individually scheduled sessions with her created a real sense of commitment. Unlike group classes where skipping did not seem to matter, these appointments made me feel accountable and motivated to show up even on the days when it felt hard.

The nutritional support has been just as impactful. Logging my meals daily was eye-opening and kept me mindful about what I was eating. Her feedback was never judgmental but realistic, empathetic and tailored to my goals and past struggles with food. With her help, I have been able to make changes to my diet that actually fit my lifestyle.



Eight months into this journey, I feel healthier, happier, stronger and more confident. Joining this program has truly been the best investment I have ever made into my health. I have already recommended Kaori to friends and family because I truly believe in her program. She has helped me take control of my health in a way that finally feels sustainable and for that I am so grateful."
