Kali Sudbrook

Kali Sudbrook is the founder of Beachside Custom Gyms, a boutique design-build firm specializing in high-performance home gyms, luxury fitness suites, and boutique training facilities. A licensed remodeling contractor and interior designer based in coastal Southern California, she brings a rare mix of construction expertise, movement knowledge, and design vision to every project. Before launching Beachside Custom Gyms, Kali spent 12 years as a Fitness Director at UC Irvine, leading programs, coaching hundreds of clients, and studying what actually keeps people consistent over the long haul. Those years, combined with 15+ years as a fitness educator and leader, shaped her belief that the right environment can completely change someone’s relationship with training - and that a gym should feel as intentional as any great kitchen or primary suite. Today, Kali and her team design and build fitness & wellness spaces that match the intensity, ambition, and lifestyle of the people using them. From initial discovery call through 3D renderings, detailed equipment curation, and final walkthrough, she focuses on both the big picture (flow, lighting, energy) and the tiny details (outlet placement, storage, finish durability) that make a space feel dialed-in and frictionless to use. Kali’s guiding philosophy is simple: leave people and places better than you found them. Whether she’s designing a garage gym for a busy parent, a recovery-focused suite for a CEO, or a specialty studio for a performance coach, her goal is always the same - to create a space that supports health, sharpens focus, and makes training feel like something you get to do, not something you have to fight your environment to accomplish.
