Kabata isn’t just fitness - it’s a way of life

Kabata (n. Japanese) 

an ecosystem of connected reservoirs that allows natural spring water to flow through a community of homes

Families share & conserve the water, keeping it clean for the next home. Neighbors gather around to form bonds. As the water flows through its final home, it returns to nurture its native land.



We love the concepts of family, community, trust, friendship and growth that are inherent in this cycle and aspire to embody these values in every Kabata workout.

Kabata (n. Tagalog)
childhood friend


We became best friends in childhood, meeting in elementary school. To us, fitness is more than just individual strength - it's about growing stronger together.

Although strength training offers immense health benefits, we understand the challenge of staying consistent. We hope that what we’ve built makes your fitness journey easier and more enjoyable.

With Love and Strength,

Kareem & Brian

Co-Founders, Kabata
