No. Our goal is to better educate the public, from complete newcomers to seasoned athletes. We want people to better understand the physical limits and capabilities of themselves and the equipment in order to optimize their performance while keeping themselves and others, safe.
While we LOVE when new members join our little gym fam, we also highly encourage gym-goers of all levels to take our classes with zero membership requirement.
That depends...we’ll have to answer your Q with another Q: does your friend have a membership and available Open Gym credits with Kilos & Company? If your answer is yes, then of course our answer is yes! If your friend or family member does not have a membership with Kilos & Company, then unfortunately you are not allowed to bring them as a guest for the duration of your training session. K&Co is a private membership gym, requiring any and all guests within the premises to hold a membership, be working towards a membership, or participating in personal training.
No! The locals know that the East Mountains have a community-based family vibe, and new businesses are good for the community. What we offer as a gym may or may not be different than what is already around, but our EM fam knows that living in such a large area should supply multiple commercial options to fit many different types of needs, including convenience. Other local gyms can’t compete with us, nor us with them. There is no competition when we want every EM business to be successsful.
You must be a minimum of 16 in order to workout in our facility without a parent/legal guardian/responsible adult over the age of 18 being present. All members under the age of 18 must have a signed parental consent waiver. No minors under the age of 16 can utilize Open Gym hours, only personal training.
Short answer: no.
Longer answer:If you are utilizing Open Gym hours at any time of the day, we are legally obligated to let you know that children under the age of 18 that do not have a membership, are not purchasing a membership, and are not taking part in a personal training session, are not allowed on the premises, at all, under any circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Here at K&Co, our phylosophy is that anyone and everyone should participate in exercise and fitness, however, resistance training and weightlifting are a science and should be treated as such. It’s no mystery to the general public that working with weights and equipment can be dangerous. Everyone should have proper training and a solid foundation of knowledge and self awareness before taking on this detailed, intricate, sometimes confusing, but also beautiful, sport.
Yes! With a signed parental consent waiver and proper parental/guardian supervision, we train young athletes as young as 13. Reach out to kilosandcompany@gmail.com for more information.
Yes! We are proud to offer a %10 discount for A.D. Military, Veterans, A.D. first responders, and A.D. health care workers.

A little bit of background...
Aaron & Jocelyn Caton are co-owners of Kilos & Company. They married each other in 2015 and after welcomed two firecracker kiddos to the world.
Their gym-centered life began long before...
Aaron is the head trainer at K&Co. He is also the head Track & Field coach at the local high school for over 5 years now.
Aaron’s fitness background really began when he was on the track team back in high school. His main events were the 100, 200, and discus. He currently still holds his high school’s record for the 100 and 200. He held the record for discus for 16 years until 2023 when a student, that Aaron proudly coached himself, earned the top spot. After high school Aaron joined the USMC and served active duty for 4 years in Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion 7th Marines, completing two tours in Afghanistan. While on deployment, he wrote to his then girlfriend, Jocelyn. In one of those letters he expressed his interest and passion for fitness and exercise and how one day he’ll own his own gym and he invited her to join him in his dream.
He later attended college, earning his degree in Exercise Science and his certification through NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association) in 2019 and has maintained it since.
Jocelyn’s passion and appreciation for athletics began in high school when she joined the dance team. It was her first experience with anything requiring such an intense level of dedication and physical demand, and found it to be rewarding in so many ways.
When starting college, and she was no longer on a sports team, is when Jocelyn started experimenting with resistance training and weightlifting in the gym. After completing a separate degree, Jocelyn then joined the FITT program and earned her degree in Pre-Health Sciences with a concentration in Exercise Science. She joined a few bodybuilding competitions, trained by Aaron, in between children.
In 2023 Jocelyn finally brought to life her work passion in attending ASHA (Albuquerque School of Healing Arts) and will graduate with over 750 training hours in March 2024. She will obtain her Massage Therapy License shortly after in May 2024. Jocelyn is skilled in and can perform many massage modalities, but has a lifelong connection with sports focused modalities.
Together, Aaron & Jocelyn started working in 2023 to open Kilos & Company. Over the years when discussing their personal experiences with athletics and fitness in their lives, they agreed on a common goal; To train athletes with a strong foundation in exercise science to be able to build upon in their athletic career. These foundations would prioritize the knowledge of safety so that the athlete’s career can carry on as long as possible. They both realized that had they known all that they know now about the benefits and intricacies of weight lifting and resistance training, back when they were in sports, they could have performed further beyond high school and done so virtually pain free.
