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

Kabata (n. Japanese) 

a connected ecosystem that allows natural spring water to flow through a village

Families keep the water clean for the next home and gather around its pools to form bonds, as the water eventually returns to nurture its native land.



We love the concepts of family, growth, and community 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 elementary school! To us, fitness isn't about individual strength; it's about growing stronger together.

Staying consistent is challenging. But we know Kabata will make your fitness journey more enjoyable. Together, we're not just lifting weights - we're lifting each other.

Let's push some weight!

In Health,

Kareem Aly & Brian Lovera
Co-Founders, Kabata
