Train with Keith

"Hi everyone, my name is Keith Klebacha, and I proudly consider myself a foot soldier of fitness. My mission? To inspire movement, ignite passion, and help people take charge of their health—one step, one rep, and one goal at a time.

Fitness isn't just what I do—it's who I am. With a lifetime of dedication to staying active and professional certifications to back it up, I approach wellness from a full-spectrum perspective: Mind, Body, and Spirit.

Every day, I wake up excited by the possibility of making a real impact—of helping someone break through a barrier, hit a milestone, or simply believe in themselves a little more. All I ask in return is that they take that leap of faith—with me, and in themselves. Because when we believe, we achieve.”
