My fiancé and I started going to this gym during a 6 Week Challenge we joined. We were both super nervous about joining a CrossFit box because there is a lot to be said about bad CrossFit boxes and experiences. I can't tell you how incredible this box really is. The coaches are fantastic, John, Cheryl and Lauren are like family. When I don't come in and workout I get a message from someone on the team either asking if I'm ok or sending me a "CrossFit alarm". This box truly cares about YOUR health and fitness. This isn't just a CrossFit gym, it's a family, from the members to the coaches, I love everyone. While there is personal growth and goals I've never felt like anyone was competing with me or throwing their fitness around. We are all working toward our own goals and the coaches support that. I will forever be a part of this box and miss it when I can't get in. Do your research should you want to join a gym, and then join this one lol. More...

Great Crossfit gym with wonderful coaches and members. I emailed coach Josh the night before I wanted to drop-in for Murph, and he emailed me back promptly with the information I needed. He was extremely friendly in person as well, and several members introduced themselves to me while I was there. This gym definitely has a family feel! There seemed to be athletes at all levels of fitness, and the overall vibe was very positive. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in town. More...

I have been doing CrossFit off and on for almost 5 years. I have traveled through out CA and been able to work out at various CF locations, but not one location can compare with this box! The coach is very knowledgeable about everything health related. He knows when to push you but also listens to you if you have pre existing conditions or generally feel wrecked from the workouts that week. He will modify any movement so you can still obtain your goals while also getting in a great workout. When I came back to this gym in Aug 2018, I was 4 months post-partum from my second child, had low back issues, and difficulty running (my knee gave out). Within a few months of listening to the coach's suggestions regarding exercises, those problems completely resolved. In addition, i quickly met all of my short term goals which included: having more energy and not needing an afternoon nap to function effectively in life between being a stay at home mom and working 4 per diem jobs. Of course, there is the added bonus of losing 20lbs and dropping clothing sizes. If your looking for the whole package in a gym, i highly recommend this one. You likely will not get the experience this gym has to offer you anywhere else. More...

Thank you to Coach John, Coach Cheryl and Coach Lauren for the guidance with my nutrition, motivation and helping me stay on track. .. You are givers to us all #crossfitkalossthenos #crossfit #fountainofyouthThe coaches here are very knowledgeable and work with people of all ages training to be our best regardless of your current situation. People come with no experience and are doing amazing workouts in a short time.I joined the box (gym) about two months ago for a 6 week challenge and it changed my life. Since then I've lost several inches and 6#'s, all body fat. My stamina and overall fitness has improved in a very short time and I'm amazed at how much better I feel. I'm in my 50's and in better health than I was back in my 30's.My recent doctor visit was the real proof. As we reviewed all my stats they couldn't believe how much healthier I am now than I was at my last visit. They said another doctor reading my chart would think I'd been taking cholesterol medications. I no longer have joint pain or inflammation either. I've since joined Kalos Sthenos and have made a commitment to myself to keep going. More...

Joining CrossFit Kalos Sthenos changed everything for me. Since I joined in July (about 6 months ago) I've lost over 50 pounds and I find myself doing things like toes-to-bar, handstands, and pull-ups that I wouldn't have attempted in my wildest dreams. The programming is fun and engaging. It can be both motivating and humbling at the same time because one day you may be hitting areas which are your strengths at and the next day you may be working on improving areas of weaknesses.My favorite aspect of CrossFit Kalos Sthenos is the sense of community. Everyone I've met here is at a different spot in their fitness journey, but they are still supportive of each other and its really motivating. More...

This place is AMAZING! Everyone is very friendly and supportive about whatever level you are at. The coaches are all so knowledgeable. I learn not only about the work out but get advice on my diet as well. I have been coming for years, it has changed my life for the better! I'm stronger and leaner than I've ever been. Everyday is different so it never gets boring! More...

For Dianna and I we have seen gradual change in our over all health and fitness. As we entered our 60's we knew we needed help to be able to remain active and simply enjoy the fun activities of life available to us now. This has most recently been realized as we enter the last 5 days of our 5 week vacation in Italy. We have enjoyed great over all endurance which just yesterday included s rigorous hike up to the famous Etna volcano. Because of john's help we have either been able to maintain or even for one of us, lose weight in spite of all the additional wonderful food we have enjoyed due to our ability to be so active. Our professional guide for Etna yesterday could hardly believe our ages and was impressed with our strength and endurance. Thank you John Devit for your input and help and patience. You are a great blessing in our lives. Looking forward to seeing you and the gang soon! More...

I was visiting the area from Texas and dropped in to do 18.4 and ended up doing a St. Patrick’s WOD that they created called the Irish car bomb and they played Irish type music as well. I had a great time. John was great and his box is very friendly and makes you feel apart of their community. More...

Coach John, Cheryl & Lauren makes this place my home away from home. Friendly members and atmosphere, we all have different levels of physical condition but we all inspire and push each other to meet our goals. They keep you on your toes! Exciting, entertaining, motivating, it becomes a healthy addiction of wanting to keep progressing, faster and stronger. First class training, I went from 205 to 165 over a 5 month period with their nutrition programs. So it's absolutely the best bang for your buck in personal training in Santa Clarita! More...

I've been a CrossFitter for 5 years, never affiliated with a gym. CF Kalos Sthenos was the first box I stepped into, and it showed me what I was missing while training on my own. John's coaching has helped me get over hurdles I've been stuck at for a long time, and I'm sure he will help me clear many more. There's enough gear to complete just about any WOD you could think of. The friendly, but competitive atmosphere of the gym completely refreshed my love for CrossFit. Whether you're new to CrossFit, an unaffiliated veteran like me, or belong to another box and are looking for something new, I promise you'll get something out of your experience at CrossFit Kalos Sthenos.

Visited this gym, wayyy back in 2015 for a mock-competition. Great place and, like all boxes, great atmosphere. A bit small, but when you're busy doing wall balls, you don't really notice.

First time taking a class here with my Lululemon crew and wow! I was definitely served a good sweaty challenging workout. I currently do crossfit and although my box is amazing, it was nice that John took time to show me stretches and review proper form--I'm horrible at remembering all of the small techniques and proper ways of doing things . I will say I'm now terrified to go back and yet that little crazy girl inside me wants more! Haha those endorphins become addicting. I highly recommend giving this box a try, I promise you will not regret it! More...

Crossfit Kalos Stenos represents the best of fitness training, health and community support. It is very well balanced and meets every person at their level- Â no matter what that level is. Coach John is superior in his knowledge and ability to design and implement individual and group WOD's that never disappoint. He has helped me with very specific goals and needs with tremendous results. He is very patient and always sees you as an individual. I have gone to other Crossfit boxes, regular gyms and have had previous trainers. Kalos Stenos and John are by far the best. The other athletes are fun as well as encouraging. I look forward to seeing them at my workouts. They also have group events and community projects for those who want to join in. Â I would recommend with highest praise and absolutely no hesitation.

Kalos Sthenos is a truly special fitness environment. John is incredibly knowledgable in a multitude of disciplines for overall fitness. The group dynamic is both encouraging and challenging. But the classes are kept small enough to get constant individual attention. Plus John's expertise and leadership has rubbed off on several others who train there, that there's always an experienced workout partner to help and cheer for you to get your own personal best. It is also a very family friendly environment. Highly recommend this great place for fitness, overall health and fun! More...

This crossift gym isn't like any other I've been to! The classes are small and personalized making the experience feel like a personal training session ultimately adding more value for your money. This gym has a strong communal feel and everyone is extremely welcoming! Have been crossfitting here for over two years and the unique aura of this gym is amazing. In my first six months I lost all my baby fat and since then have dropped from a size 11 jeans to a size 1!! I've been able to overcome feats and my strength is beyongld what I thought I was capable of. Before when at 24 hour fitness, I never wanted to go, felt out of place, and had no direction in what to do. Now I have a much larger understanding of workout routines, and now come five days a week and love love love to workout! Never thought I'd say that! Highly recommended!!!! More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
John will dive in and get to know an individual and their needs. This comes via your first meeting where you will go through an interview so that John may get to know you. From their the program begins. We are all snowflakes so it is very important that you are viewed as the individual that you are.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Consistency is key. With a balance of nutrition, weight training, cardio and a clear goal we can accomplish anything.
What do you love most about your job?
What John loves most about his job is getting to see people further their health and fitness. Often he sees improvements in other aspects of the clients life such as enriched home and work life. John also loves seeing people come together in the group setting. He has seen many relationships grow over the years. Overall though, helping people is what John loves about his work.
What inspired you to start your own business?
To be able to service more people in a day and on my own terms.
Why should our clients choose you?
20 years experience. No judgements. The full time passion to help you become the best you!!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, however these times can be very limited, but a great option for those that desire to workout from the comfort of their homes.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
In my gym we clean after each piece of equipment is used. Even if it's used multiply times in an hour it is sanitized again and again. We have an open air facility and outdoor usage.
Personal Training
John has been a personal training since 1999. He has serviced all walks of life. From 4 years old to 100 years old and everything in between!! His passion is teaching people to own their health and fitness. To learn for themselves what works to complete their own personal goals.
Group training
For group training you'll need to go to John's gym so this is for locals only. Sorry. This can be THE most affordable way to get nearly one on one training. John's group classes do not exceed 8 people per class. It's a group workout with a personal training touch.
