My name is Kisar Dhillon and I believe that everyone, those healthy and those who have some work to do, can lead a healthy and fun lifestyle.I grew up a skinny kid and in school, wanted to get “bigger”. I was a gym rat, but quickly learned there is much more to it than just lifting weights. I pursued studies in a degree that would allow me to focus on fitness, as I have a B.S. degree in Kinesiology from the University of Texas at El Paso and also pursued post-graduate studies there. However, my LIFE is based on health and fitness as well. Being in the health & fitness industry for almost two decades has allowed me to train with individuals of all shapes, sizes, ages and personalities. When looking at my career I would have to say the three things that have allowed me to succeed in this challenging industry is the ability to alter fitness programs for each individual, adapt to an array of personality types and just listening. I am a firm believer of doing what it takes to make it happen and that requires constantly thinking outside of the box in order to make my clients succeed with their goals. I strongly believe a healthy lifestyle is possible when you combine fitness, nutrition, and accountability. -Kisar less

I can’t say enough about Kisar both professionally and personally. He was my personal trainer for many years and I consider him to be the ultimate expert in health and fitness. He was not only an excellent trainer, but if I needed advise on a health condition, or getting special instructions for an injury, I could always count on his educated and straightforward expertise. Kisar is a fun, high-energy individual with zest for life and I will miss our times together.

Kisar is an excellent personal trainer/ fitness coach! He truly master the art of training by getting to know the person and understanding their fitness goals. He then customizes a plan for the person (i.e. me) and follows up on a daily basis to check up on your progress! Since I love his training technique, I have also helped to promote his services among friends and family. I also worked with Kisar to work on his public relations. Kisar also loves giving back to the community by offering his services at no cost to local non-profit organization to help domestically battered women to achieve their fitness goals!

Kisar is no longer just a personal trainer, he is a friend that cares about my physical health!

Thanks, Kisar!

Kisar was such pleasure to work with, even though as a Physical Trainer, my body sometimes didn’t like him very much.(lol) He has a positive attitude, pleasant personality and exudes a high level of confidence in his field of work. His training methods are strategic and very effective. My body began a transformation that I had been desiring for years. Through his clever sense of humor, he motivated me to PUSH, when I was convinced that my body would not allow 30 more seconds (which he ALWAYS managed to get 60 more seconds, OUCH!).

Kisar is a professional, who pays attention to the detail/aspirations of each one of his clients.

Come back to Cali Kisar!

Kisar is such a great trainer! He won't let you slack off and has a way of miscounting to push you further than you ever thought you could go. Lol

Those of you in the Portland area are so lucky to have him!

Kisar is a creative professional in an industry full of people following the typical calories in, calories out. He takes time to listen to your needs, your areas of concerns, and really designs a plan around your needs- not the industries. He's fun to be around and a great business advisor if you need one. Kisar is definitely high end material without the "high end" drama. He can inspire anyone to a better healthier life.

I have known Kisar for over 10 years and he has not only been a great trainer, but I also consider him a good friend. He is one of the most responsible and hardest working individuals I know in the fitness industry and I know that Portland has just gained one of the best in the business. He not only is always on time, but he is someone that actually listens to you and cares about what you have to say. Unlike other trainers I have seen at the gyms and studios that are always on their cell phones or are there just to count off your repetitions. Kisar is there with you all the way and sometimes he will actually do the exercises with you. He practices what he preaches, which in my eyes, goes along way. I wish him the best of luck in Portland and he will always be a great friend.

As a former student I highly recommend Kisar Dhillion's expertise to anyone. Kisar has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages. His ability to connect with his students and his talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as advanced techniques, are both truly superior.

Kisar was my personal trainer and helped me lose all my baby weight. He is such a professional and incredibly motivating! Kisar takes the time to really get to know his clients because he truly cares for them as a person. He wants you to create goals and work as hard as it takes to achieve them. He is so creative with his workouts that we never did the same workout twice. I even feel like we never repeated the same exercise twice! Kisar could train any age level and understands your physical limitations. All in all, he was more than my awesome trainer - he turned into a great friend!
