Today we’d like to introduce you to Remy Kam.
Hi Remy, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hi, I’m Remy, a Certified Trainer, Content Creator, and wellness enthusiast. I work with clients online through my fitness platform KORE, and in-person via personal training or in-studio. I am a corporate girlie turned entrepreneur, and recently launched my own business called KORE by Remy.
While I attribute my love for movement from growing up as a dancer, for me personally, the environment always felt toxic. I became drawn to fitness because it was musical and creative, with more of a focus on community and positive energy. I started my career teaching Spin at a boutique studio called CYC in college. Anytime I wasn’t in class or studying in the library, I was hanging out at the studio. I really fell in love with fitness from there on out.
After college, I went back home to LA and taught at boutique studios and got my Personal Training Certificate, while working 9-5 corporate jobs. I used to be frustrated about my career path and wished I’d gone full-time into fitness right away, but the more I reflect, the more grateful I am for the experiences and relationships I gained through those jobs.
The Pandemic shifted everything for me.I was laid off from my job and fitness studios closed, soI I started teaching on Instagram Live daily. At first, it just started as something for me and my friends because we felt out of routine and missed our workouts. Then, a lot of people started showing up and all of a sudden, I was scheduling a full month of classes. I felt so in alignment with my career during that point and knew this was the beginning of something. I started teaching on Vuori ACTV Club, and still partner with Vuori today!
When studios started to open again, I began teaching for Barry’s Bootcamp, which was a huge accomplishment for me. I had always dreamed of being an instructor there and learned so much. Eventually it became too much to balance teaching, creating content, and a full time job. I knew I wanted to give my new love for virtual fitness a fair shot, so I quit my corporate job, moved to San Diego, and launched KORE in January of 2023, so almost a year ago!
KORE is a digital fitness experience with online workouts rooted in function and feeling. My approach to fitness is to make you feel good and feel strong. I spent too much of my earlier life not feeling enough, so I am committed to creating an environment that is empowering and educational.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
There have been a lot of challenges, especially this year! I know everyone says running your own business is hard, and they were right. My biggest struggle is the Imposter Syndrome and constantly feeling like you have no idea what you’re doing. I’ve had to learn to become friends with this feeling and use it as an opportunity to learn or ask for help. In my opinion, confidence comes from experience and becoming knowledgeable in things you weren’t before. This requires permission to make mistakes. It’s so important to try and not be paralyzed by the fear of being perfect. I am certainly not there yet, but I’m getting better!
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Kore—by Remy?
KORE offers an ever-evolving library of 150+ online workouts and programs based in Strength, Pilates, and more. My goal is to expand this into wellness and community events, coming soon!
For me, fitness is all about energy. When you take my class, you’ll see my approach is empathetic, while still technical and challenging. Fitness is one of the only places where you’re encouraged to be a work in progress. It’s not about showing up as perfect. It’s about showing up, and making the best of the time you’re there. I like to bring this into KORE and remind my community that just showing up is a win, but they’re also capable of so much more.
You can access KORE online at Korebyremy.co and our App which can be downloaded from the App Store. I also offer Live virtual classes through my Instagram @Remykam and @Korebyremy and have plans to host more in-person community events next year. I’m definitely excited for year two and phase two of KORE!
