Three months ago, after losing 30 pounds on a GLP-1 medication, I knew my next goal wasn’t just losing more weight. It was getting stronger, building muscle, and creating a healthy body for the long term.
I’m not new to working out, but I knew I needed accountability and someone who truly understood strength training and overall health. Hiring Kariim was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
When I started, I was in rough shape. I was constantly out of breath, and every muscle in my body was on fire after our sessions. Fast forward three months, and the difference is incredible. I’m noticeably stronger, I’m seeing real body recomposition, and something as simple as 30 seconds of jumping jacks, which felt impossible when I started, is now no problem at all.
Kareem is attentive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He makes sure every exercise is performed with proper form, which has helped me build strength safely and confidently. What I appreciate most is that he isn’t just focused on helping you gain muscle or look better. He trains for longevity, mobility, and overall quality of life. At 52 years young, that’s exactly what I was looking for.
He also helped me with my nutrition plan, and honestly, it changed the way I think about food. Instead of eating less, he taught me how to fuel my body properly. With the right amount of protein and balanced nutrition, I’ve been able to support my workouts, continue improving my body composition, and build a healthier relationship with food.
If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your long-term health, not just quick results, Kareem is your guy. I’m incredibly grateful for everything he’s taught me over the past three months, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to become stronger, healthier, and more confident.

I trained with Kariim for 3 months in order to prepare for military training. He was diligent, thoughtful, respectful, and laser focused (and excited) to help me achieve my goals. Not only did I learn a lot from Kariim about the fitness and weightlifting world, we also discussed philosophy, life advice, film and television, and everyday stuff. Kariim is a master personal trainer as well as “people person” through and through. I am confident in my abilities now thanks to him, as well as impressed with my physique. I am happy to say I consider Kariim a trainer, mentor and friend.

I lost 31 pounds in 14 weeks while gaining muscle and endurance because of BBK's nutrition plan combined with the workouts. Workouts alone will not produce these kinds of results. Nutrition is the key component.If you want to become the best version of yourself, and divorce the quitting mind, trust BBK. BBK can give you the mental & physical freedoms you deserve.My "graduation" for BBK was 5 days ago but my new lifestyle will stay will me forever. I have learned how to eat, exercise, and sleep in a way that ensures I will always be the best version of me. That's it from a 64+ super fit, healthy and beyond happy BBK client.

After a long period of not seeing any progress with my physical health, I decided to find a trainer. Kariim is awesome! He’s very knowledgeable and teaches you as well about proper form and how it engages your muscles correctly. He always motivates you from a place of positivity. I’ve made a lot of progress in weight and fat loss, but most importantly I’m stronger. This has been one of the best investments in my health!

The moment I found Body By Kariim Fitness after weeks of research, I knew this was the place for me. I’ve trained with Laquisha for 4 months and the level of support and professionalism she brings day-in and day-out is amazing! I’ve tried a variety of group classes and gyms, but I often stopped after a few months. My main goal was to stay consistent in my routine to really work towards results. I knew I needed to invest in a more personalized experience. You can’t go wrong with any of the trainers here. BBK offers scheduling around hectic schedules, an open space with professional equipment, and an inclusive culture. Laquisha is the accountability partner and coach I’ve always needed. She challenges me in my workouts, but always ensures safety. She’s knowledgeable and will create workouts that target your goals and fitness level. I was ready to prioritize my well-being and Body By Kariim Fitness has been a great support on this journey!
