What people are saying about Personal Training :

“My experience training with Derek and taking his Kikfit class has been excellent. His knowledge, expertise and professionalism is second to none.That is why I keep going back for more. Each workout is challenging and different it's never dull. I've worked out by myself for years, until I found Derek and Kikfit. But after one session with him, I was hooked! Training and getting educated with him has unleashed both physical and mental powers I never knew I had. So, come on! Get fit with Kikfit. I did!

"Derek's Kikfit class is the best exercise class I have ever done. After the first workout I was hooked! For the hour you get a great cardio workout which incorporates kickboxing, resistance training and body sculpting. It never gets boring, it's a good stress release and you leave the class feeling great! As a trainer, Derek is very motivating and knowledgeable. He created an at home workout for me that I can do while my children are with me playing in the backyard. Derek is a very talented person and I would recommend his personal training and Kikfit class to anyone!"

"Since I've been working out with Derek, I've been amazed at my results. I've lost weight, gained muscle--and feel so much better about myself. Every workout with Derek is different--so you never get bored. It's always challenging. I could not have achieved my goals without Derek's help. He's the best!!!"

"As a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist, I have often underestimated the importance of physical activity. As we have learned more about the positive effects of exercise on cardiac and cancer prevention, I have personally become an advocate for combining exercise with a healthy life style. Because of personal results, I have been able to educate both peers and patients of the benefits. I have been working with Derek DeCosta for three years as a student of his Kikfit class and as a personal client. Derek has taught me to bring myself to a new level of fitness everyday. I think one of his specialties is to provide clients with a varied workout which never allows for boredom or burnout. I have resculpted my body and my mind with Derek's guidance and constant support. I feel better emotionally which allows me to live a better life and function in a healthier place. "

"Derek has helped bring exercise back into my life. I have regained energy and a life style I had lost. I feel amazing: both physically and emotionally and look forward to each session. I have lost over 35 pounds and have seen a dramatic difference in my physical appearance. He has created a work out program tailored to me and my life style which I can do at home. I have decided to drive over 40 miles a few times a week this year to continue my workouts with him. Derek is a great motivator and an asset to the world of physical fitness."

"After moving to the area 5 years ago and giving up my personal training business it was very important for me to find a place in my life for fitness. Working with Derek is just what I hoped it would be. He is very focused and extremely knowledgeable. He makes sure my technique is correct and encourages me to strive for more. I feel stronger and healthier. "

"I have worked out with weights since I was in high school. I was looking for something different when I asked Derek for some help. I have never had better workouts in my life than I have since starting with Derek, and the interesting thing is that there are no weights involved. Derek is extremely knowledgeable and will work with you to obtain your personal goals, not at his pace but at your pace. I strongly recommend Derek as a personal trainer for anyone who is looking to make a change in him or her. Whether you are someone who has been working out for a while or someone who feels it's time to do something I am very confident you will benefit from what Derek can offer you, and what he'll show you that you can do for yourself."

"I have been working out for about nine years. I needed a change due to the monotony of my work outs and lack of education and background that I had on physical fitness. So I started training with Derek. I have been training with Derek off and on for the last couple of years. Derek has taught me an abundance of knowledge, both with working out and self-defense techniques. He's a motivator, extremely intelligent and disciplined, and will get you the results your looking for. From dieting, lifting weights, aerobic training, self-defense, and martial arts training, I have never been around a more focused person."
- Mike Masse, Semi-Pro Football

"Derek's practical approach to health & fitness has turned my impossible mission into daily achievements. He keeps me motivated with measured results in weight loss and muscle tone, and educated me on all aspects of wellness. I have lost over 90 lbs. and counting. All without fad diets or over exercising. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

" During the course of my professional relationship with Derek, he has never failed to make evident his knowledge, professionalism and commitment to his clients. I never hesitate to refer my patients to him regardless of their current fitness level. Derek prides himself in focusing on a crucial yet often overlooked component of fitness: his client's mind set. He is a master of helping his clients avoid burnout, overcome physical and emotional barriers associated with fitness and, most of all, eliminating the excuses that are all too easy to come up with."
- Dr. John Mello

"I was feeling exhausted and less than satisfied with my appearance, I decided it was time to do something about it. I gave Derek a call and after meeting with him for a consultation I gained a much greater understanding of my body as well as the nutrition and lifestyle needed to reach my goals. Every workout with Derek not only benefits me physically, but also mentally. Derek has an extensive knowledge of the human body and what is required to be in the best of shape. He has the patience and skills to explain every session effectively. My wife and I also enjoy attending his Kikfit classes together for an intense one hour workout that benefit us both. I highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a highly effective and motivating fitness experience. "

"Derek has quite a bit of knowledge and expertise in martial arts, he is very capable in what he does, and he definitely knows how to fight."

"I first became interested in the martial arts as a teenager. Since that time, I have studied forms of karate and ju-jitsu under some very skilled instructors. As a municipal police officer, I have also received training in defensive tactics through various police academies and organizations. Up until the time that I met Derek Decosta, I thought that I had a pretty good understanding of what self defense techniques worked best in “real life” situations. That all changed, however, the first time that I saw Derek demonstrate some of the skills that he has learned during his years as a martial arts practitioner . For the past six years, I have had the privilege of training with Derek in the areas of personal defense and weight lifting, and I have also been a loyal participant in his Kikfit class. Derek is not only knowledgeable in all of these areas, but he can also effectively communicate the principles behind the material that he teaches. As a student and assistant instructor, I look forward to my continued training with Derek, and to all of the benefits that I know his teaching will bring to me."
- Scott Smith, Police Detective

"I highly recommend Kikfit to anyone who wants to be inspired and motivated, both mentally and physically. His classes not only get you in the best possible shape, they also give you energy and strength to improve your daily life. You burn an outstanding amount of calories while having fun in an upbeat positive environment. Derek is a very knowledgeable and professional instructor in all aspects of health and fitness. Once you join Kikfit, you will wonder how you ever lived without it. I hope everyone who reads this contacts Derek to sign up for their first class. Happy Kikfitting to all!."
- Kaneisha DeBurgo, College Student

"Kikfit is a HUGE part of my weight loss journey. Since I have started going to class regularly, I have noticed many positive changes. I have more energy during the day, and I am sleeping better at night. My body is getting firmer, and I am steadily losing weight. The class fits perfectly into my schedule, since I only need to spare one hour for a Total Body Workout! I look forward to Kikfit every week, and would be lost without it. Derek's class has made me feel like "me" again!

We’ve been working out with Derek's Kikfit for about a year. And find it to be the best workout routine we’ve ever done (and we’ve done many). It is second to none. There's a combination of things that makes it so appealing. First and foremost is Derek, he has a way of keeping you motivated and focused. He is so tuned in to the human body. We feel like we’re getting the best trainer around!
At the end of each workout we always feel motivated and inspired. It's really been great for us to bond with as a couple.
