Who is Kim Brown?
 |
I have been involved in weight training and personal fitness since 1992.
With the help of personal trainer I decided to take a giant step a few years ago and began competing in Figure competitions.
I had to lose 33 lbs in 9 weeks and I did it!
In 2008, I placed 3rd in the Debbie Kruck Classic, and will now compete on the National Level.
As I made drastic changes in my physique and weight while dieting down for competitions, more and more people came to me seeking advice and help.
It was at that time that I realized that I wanted to focus on inspiring and helping others reach their goals, just as I had.
I began holding bootcamps in the park and at the Martial Arts school and it has grown from there.
I am currently a private personal trainer.
I love what I do and find it a challenge every session to help my clients grow even further in the health and fitness!
I believe that everyone can reach their goals with the right knowledge and tools. |

Creative trainer takes boot camp workouts to playgrounds, beaches
It was an unusual sight. Women swinging from monkey bars.
Men using park benches for pushups.
Couples chasing each other while running forward, backward and sideways.
Coed bear crawls across green grass.
A party gone wild? Hardly. It was all part of the boot camp, Kim Brown style.
Brown, a longtime Mandarin resident and a personal trainer and group fitness instructor at the Mandarin YMCA, is well known for her creative exercise classes. She started by holding her ever-growing boot camp classes indoors, but lately she's spiced things up a bit with workouts at Mandarin High School, at Losco Park and at the beach.
"If I know Kim we'll probably be running and crawling in the sand this Saturday," said fellow trainer and boot camper Tina Allen. "She always comes up with something new."
Brown said she has been amazed at the response to her classes.
"I think people like playing as if they were kids again," she said. "What's better than getting fit and having fun?"

Husband of fitness trainer, body builder listens carefully
Kimberly Brown of Mandarin is enjoying a season many wives just dream about.
Her husband is listening to every word she says and following her advice to a tee.
There's a good reason. Kim has Daryl on the run and on a strict diet. As a certified physical fitness trainer and recent winner of two bodybuilding competitions, Kim knows her stuff.
"I'm telling Daryl the same things I've always told him," Kim said of her husband of more than a decade. "It's just now he's listening."
Daryl is listening because he's getting in shape for two trips to California. As a longtime instructor of martial arts, Daryl will be getting trained for his certification in Gracie Combative Jiu Jitsu. His California training will, according to Kim, have him in class 10 days for 10 hours a day. On his second trip, Daryl will be training for Commando Krav Maga for four days with 14-hour-a-day workouts.
"If he survives," Kim said with a laugh, "he'll be the only person in this area teaching this."
Since it's competitive to even be accepted into the physically challenging training programs, Kim is doing her best to make sure Daryl is ready.
"We're doing cardio work every day," Kim said of her devoted student. "Mori, the Command Krav Maga instructor, told Daryl he better be ready to work hard and not disappoint him. We are going to make sure he is."

Fitness award winners
Throughout the past several months, Kim Brown of Mandarin has spent a lot of time in the gym.
She's also put in numerous hours running up the bleachers at Mandarin High School, leading a fitness boot camp on Saturday mornings, teaching cycling and children's Zumba classes at the Mandarin YMCA, and watching what she eats.
All of Brown's hard work has paid off. On Aug. 2, after competing in the Dexter Jackson Bodybuilding, Fitness and Pro Figure Championship at the University of North Florida, the once overweight mother of two walked away with two awards.
Brown won fourth place in both the overall competition and the over-30 pro figure category.
"I was pleased," she said. "I really just wanted to improve on what I had done last year."
Brown did, coming from seventh- and sixth-place spots in her first competitions ever in 2007.
In addition, Brown won the summer fitness challenge at the Williams YMCA, logging the most points earned for working out.
"I always wanted to get in shape the right way," Brown noted. "Working with a trainer has been a huge help."
Brown doesn't take that help lightly. In fact, she's passing her information along as she assists others who want to get in shape.
"It's never too late to start," she said.
