What her clients say
“I started training with her to prepare for my first Hyrox mixed doubles race… I survived my first Hyrox, went on to do another one, and now I’m in the middle of training for my third race this year! … She’s helped me become stronger, more confident, and more capable than I ever thought I could be.”
Dr. Arlene Marre Huertas
“If you want to invest in yourself and your body, having a good coach is a must, and Coach Keisha is the one. She explains which muscles are at work, corrects my posture/form, and trusts me better than I trust myself when progressing with the weights.”
Alyanna Rae Bandayanon
“She has been instrumental in building my strength and conditioning, always tailoring her approach to what works best for me. … If you’re looking for a coach who is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in your personal progress, I highly recommend Coach Keisha!”
Sophia Marie Alba
“She made me feel great in my own body no matter what weight I was on and she always gives me the motivation in every session. She also taught me how to be accountable and honestly, I’m not complaining because it made me love moving my body more and keeping a healthy and active lifestyle.”
Ruth Mae Delgra
“She’s very intentional in coaching me and she takes notes every session (which i really appreciate) to keep track of my progress. I can tell that she genuinely wants her client to improve and get better.”
Kris Arrieta
“Absolutely love coach! She was with me during my “trying” phase until my 4th month pregnant. She really made sure I got to push myself and targeted our private sessions to strengthen me more than just for the sake of working out.”
Atty. Margarita Ignacia Nograles
“I’ve purchased two packages of 10 sessions each from this trainer. She gives clear, precise guidance on every exercise and designs progressive workouts that help me keep improving steadily. I’ve seen real progress throughout my training, and I highly recommend her!”
Joanna Señorita Chen
“I’m so glad I started training with Coach Keisha! She really knows her stuff, and you can tell she knows what works. … The best part is that she never makes you feel intimidated. Instead, she makes you want to work harder and become the best version of yourself.”
Jia Alcover
“I genuinely had such a great time training with Coach Keish! She was a huge reason why I showed up to every session. I lost about 4–6 kg in a few months with her! She’s super easygoing, but she will definitely push you to exceed your limits.”
Maria Nierras
“Had a great time with coach Keisha! I felt like she really understood my goals and helped me work towards it. She also made sure that I kept progressing in my workouts which I really appreciated.”
Aleeza Denise Alvarez-Tan
“An exceptional coach who keeps my workouts effective and manageable. She’s very supportive, attentive, and helps me stay consistent with my goals.”
Sophia Denise Cruz
“Coach Keish is one of my favorite coaches in the city! She's so easy to vibe with and very professional.”
