Phillip and Kimber Smith

Phillip and Kimber Smith purchased the Downtown Athletic Club in August 2006 to secure a future for their family in the Hemet/San Jacinto Valley. Shortly after taking ownership, they turned the club into a family operated organization staffed by their children and other family members. Phillip has been a Master Fitness Trainer while serving in the U.S. Army as an Infantry Officer for 13 years. After moving from Alaska to California in 1995, he has worked primarily as a Construction Project Manager for numerous wireless carriers throughout the western United States. After an industrial accident severely limited the use of his legs, Phillip knew the only way to maintain his quality of life was to get back to exercise and fitness. He has dedicated himself to sharing his knowledge and experience in order to give others the same quality of life, health, and wellness. Kimber has been serving in the U.S. Army since 1988 and is specialized in the functional areas of Human Resources Administration, Military Justice, Financial Management, and Aviation Maintenance Operations. After serving a 15-month tour in Iraq with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, she has been assigned as the Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of implementing and maintaining the physical fitness program for her Battalion.
