Kendrick Ribeiro, MS, CSCS
Founder, Trainer
Kendrick started learning and developing his craft while in college studying Exercise Science. Upon moving to California in 2008, Kendrick started training at a small personal training studio in downtown Menlo Park. It was there where he gained the confidence to create his own style based on the results his clients were achieving.
As the demand for classes grew, Kendrick sought to expand his business and opened Studio K-Fit in 2013. He later developed small group sessions based on the similar philosophy he was using with his personal training clients; plenty of cardio blended with strength (functional training) exercises and a healthy dose of core work. The workouts are geared to engage the entire body, maximizing caloric expenditure. The philosophy is based on positive hormonal response as well as the progressive load approach bringing clients amazing results.
His goal with Studio K-Fit was to create a non-intimidating and extremely friendly personal training studio where everyone knows each other by name.
Kendrick holds a Masters in Health and Nutrition Education and a Bachelors in Exercise Science. While in College, Kendrick completed his minor in pre-med with his eyes set on med school, until he realized his true calling in the fitness and wellness field.
He also shares his journey of continuous self development via his blog: Refocused Mind. His qualifications include:
Masters in Health and Nutrition Education
Bachelor of Exercise Science and Health Promotion

Laurel Francesconi; BS, NASM
Trainer
Laurel has a BS in Biology and is nationally certified as a personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She also has certifications in Adaptive Fitness and Corrective Exercise. Laurel entered this field because while her extended family was blessed with longevity, they were not always blessed with quality of life. She decided that if she were to live to be 100, it wouldn't be in a wheelchair. Her goal is to help others glide into and through their golden years on their own two feet and that process can never start too soon. In addition to training at Studio K-Fit, Laurel works with older adults at Vi Living, formerly Classic Residence by Hyatt and teaches classes at PAMF with a registered dietitian focused on making healthy lifestyle choices. As a mother of two adult children, she is qualified to coach parents who want to establish better habits for their families.
In her free time, Laurel enjoys golf, skiing and cooking. She loves everything about food except doing the dishes!
