More About Coach Kim
Fitness Coach & NASM Certified Personal Trainer, I specialize in athletic based outdoor strength & conditioning fitness programs for adults, teens, and middle school youth, as well as comprehensive fitness programs for the serious middle school and high school XC/track athlete looking to improve his/her overall running and athleticism.
I regularly teach athletic based fitness to adults through bootcamps, small group training, and one on one personal training, through my business Kim Munson Fitness. I'm the head XC coach for Redwood Middle School, and teach both boys and girls how to improve their running. I especially like working with new runners who have a drive to improve.
I am a certified speed and agility coach and work with youth athletes looking to improve speed and agility for sports and athletics.
I also work with adults looking to begin running, and runners looking to improve and complement their running with fitness and strength programs.
I love being active and all things fitness or athletic! I'm constantly challenging my body to perform its best. I compete recreationally in local track meets (I enjoy middle distance) and have done local 5k runs (Last 5k I ran I placed 3rd in my age group). When track season is over, I enjoy hitting the trails for fun, either running or mountain biking. Fitness and running have been a lifelong passion of mine, and I enjoy helping others discover their love for an active lifestyle, and watching them succeed when they push themselves to achieve new goals.
Sessions are tailored to the athlete's needs. They may include components of the following: Active/dynamic warmup; speed and agility drills; mechanics/skills (as needed); running workout (if training for XC/Track); strength and conditioning; mobility/flexibility work; and post-workout stretch.
I spend time talking with the athlete the first session (and regularly check in on follow up sessions) about what they want to work on, specific goals, general health and how their body is feeling, likes/dislikes, etc.
Sessions last about an hour.

Really excellent coaching. My daughter was looking for some coaching on running form to help her in soccer. She was a little nervous to go to a private coach, but Kim instantly made her feel comfortable, and my daughter LOVED it. She already wants a followup session.
Super highly recommended!
Michael (CoachUp client)
Kim is an awesome running coach! I only had one session with her so far, but with a few specific exercises, my running technique has been improved significantly! I definitely will book her again and I can highly recommend her to everyone that looks for a running coach.
Communication with Kim happens flawless, she responses very quickly to any questions you have!
Josh (CoachUp client)
Coach Kim trained my son through a detailed program tailored specifically for his love of soccer. After only a single session we were able to see a marked improvement in not only his sprinting speed but also his ability to outpace other players.
Harry (CoachUp client)
Coach Kim was very helpful. I scheduled the coaching session with the goal of improving my running form. Coach Kim walked me through a comprehensive dynamic warmup, then recorded video of my form, and analyzed it with me. Then, she provided several drills to focus on while improving form. She was very hands on and thorough - she even held my foot during one drill so that I could feel how the drill was supposed to feel. She answered all my questions fully, and the whole session felt very relaxed, but also productive. I would 100% get coached by Coach Kim again!
John (CoachUp client)
Coach Kim is very knowledgeable. She helped me focus on technique and form. She introduced me to a new workout routine and I could feel the difference while stretching and sprinting.
I highly recommend Kim!
Thank you!

My 12yr old son really enjoyed the lesson. She honed in on critical aspects of running technique and was able to make a difference in his speed within one lesson. Thank you!
Adele (CoachUp client)
Coach Kim was an awesome coach for my 14-year old son who was a beginner cross country runner. Aidan thoroughly enjoyed and had a blast with Coach Kim and learned new things that he could apply right away to his cross country training.
Dirk (CoachUp client)
Coach Kim was outstanding coaching my 13 year old daughter who is trying to build her speed and conditioning for soccer. Coach took the time to understand my daughters needs and then focused on exactly what she needed using multiple techniques and giving her several things to continue to do. Definitely going back to do this on a regular basis and highly recommend coach Kim. Many thanks my daughter loved the season. Thanks.
Doris (CoachUp client)
I am a beginner runner and I had 8 training sections with Kim. She is amazing!! She helps me to correct my running form and improve my fitness. Once I improve on my running form, running is more fun for me. I will highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in running.
Francisco (CoachUp client)
During our first session we were able to assess my running technique and define objectives for a longer term plan. I liked Kim’s approach and clear guidance on how to improve my body posture.
Anouk (CoachUp client)
Coach Kim is exactly what I was looking for in a running coach for my two teenagers. She was professional, gave lots of tips/feedback and most importantly saw each kid independently. My daughter received guidance on form and my son received tips on how to increase his power. Coach Kim explained to them that they have different running styles and that was normal. Neither style was better/worse than the other. Both kids felt positive and encouraged. Lastly, Coach Kim left them with homework (stretches, exercises) to continue their learning.
Patrick (CoachUp client)
My son really enjoyed working with coach Kim, she focused on the needs he has and sent us home with videos of his work. We will definitely continue our work with her. The setting at Saratoga High is also lovely and it invites the waiting parent to spend time jogging the track or taking care of self while coach and student are working.
Arjun (CoachUp client)
Coach Kim was great! Not fit after a long period of inactivity and she really eased me into things in a slow and steady manner with the requisite stretches and mix of sprints vs jogging exercises.
Pooja (CoachUp client)
Look forward to working with her

Nicole (CoachUp client)
My daughter enjoyed her session with Coach Kim. She felt like Kim was knowledgeable in teaching technique in running and helped her improve her acceleration. She is excited to continue with her training with Coach Kim. Thanks!
Ross (CoachUp client)
Coach Kim did a session with our 10 year old son yesterday He was super excited with the training and eager to practice his skills. Kim was very good at explaining concepts to help improve his technique down.
Araceli (CoachUp client)
I can already tell Coach Kim is going to benefit me tremendously. She does regular check in definitely holds me accountable for planned runs. I can't wait to see my progress in 3 months!
Dori (CoachUp client)
I met Kim for the first (of what I hope and plan to be many) sessions today. She was attentive, professional, easy going, supportive, and knowledgable. As a runner, I've never had any formal training and Kim was really great at coaching me through each dynamic warm up, explaining drills, pointing out areas where my form could be improved, and leading me through a cool down stretching routine. I find it difficult to make myself perform structured running drills or speed workouts, but having Kim help me through these made it fun and our hour passed so quickly! I'm looking forward to seeing how much I can improve with her consistent coaching.
Srinath (CoachUp client)
She is really knowledgeable and helpful. I had trouble getting my gait right for running, training with her really helped. I would strongly recommend if you need personal training for running.

Andrew (CoachUp client)
Kim is awesome! Great personalized attention - varies the program and the workouts. She's helping me achieve and exceed my goals!
Curtis (CoachUp client)
Coach Kim did a great job at paying attention to my daughter's specific needs. She gave a good diagnosis of the issues involved, and was warm and personable. We plan on continuing with her!
Leonardo (CoachUp client)
My wife and I had our first running session with Coach Kim. We both had a great experience and enjoyed training with Coach Kim very much. She is very professional and understands exactly the kind of training my wife and I need. Our running is already improved and the stretching and cooling exercises she taught us will help us avoid any injuries during our runs. Thanks Coach Kim!

Coach Kim is a great coach. She is very encouraging and systematic in her coaching which includes not only running but also overall fitness. My 14 year old son liked his session with her and we are returning for more. I am planning to sign up myself as well. I would highly recommend Kim as a trainer.
Kelly Sumner - adult fitness client (Testimonial)
My fitness experience with Kim Munson was so positive. Her directions are clear, and she has a calm and encouraging style that made feel at ease right from the get go. She knows just how to make each exercise feel both accessible and challenging--which was very encouraging for a fitness newbie like me! I highly recommend taking her classes, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish!
