I'm Pumped You're Here!

I’m Kali Sudbrook. After more than a decade as a Fitness Director at UC Irvine and a Kinesiology professor at Cal State Fullerton, I built Beachside to solve a problem I kept seeing after COVID: performance and wellness spaces treated like an afterthought in otherwise beautiful homes and buildings. I design these spaces with the same intention as a kitchen or a primary bath, because the room only works if you actually want to be in it.

My triple threat is this:

• Having worked through three large scale campus recreation and athletic new builds at the university level, I know how a space for movement and recovery should feel and flow.
• As a licensed contractor, I understand how it gets built. Clearances that work in real framing, electrical plans that match equipment loads, ventilation that holds up under heat and humidity, and materials that perform under daily use.
• As an NSCA certified personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, and tactical operator, I understand movement, fitness goals, and fitness equipment intimately.

Designers who understand construction are rare. Contractors who understand movement are even more rare. I am all three. I was made for this.

We offer design services nationwide (Minnesota, Arizona, and Montana, just to name a few of our favorites) and design-build execution across coastal Southern California, from Santa Monica to San Marcos and everywhere in between.

Whether you need a build-ready plan set for your own team or a full turnkey scope, the standard stays the same: a disciplined process, exceptional execution, and no guesswork.
