Yo Kotsubo

Yo Kotsubo comes from a martial arts background. After 3 years of tae kwon doe, she began teaching students. This is when she decided to pursue being an instructor.


Yo then went to school. She graduated in 2008 majoring in sports science. It was while going to school Yo realized the importance of physical activity and weight training.  Her motto came from her sports science professor whom she admired. "Have fun with a purpose and learn by doing. When you leave the gym, you are smiling and sweating."

She enjoys helping others learn the skills of boxing and kickboxing. Yo believes with the proper weight training, and a mix of boxing and kickboxing, you will get results because it gives you physical independence and the feeling of "I can!"


Yo is Contender's Front Desk Manager and is available to answer any questions you may have about the gym.  Constantly working on updating the gym with new looks and information makes her very accessible and knowledgeable.

Yo enjoys personal training and looks forward to helping others reach their goals. With a detailed approach, she will get you the results you're looking for!


I believe that physical strength is one of the keys to living a better life.
