Personal Details

Bio

Kubanai Kalombo is a highly respected expert in fitness, wellness, and performance, with over four decades of experience helping individuals and teams achieve peak physical and mental performance. As a standout defensive end for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Kalombo earned his starting position by unseating All-Conference player Ruben Davis, who later played in the NFL for the San Diego Chargers. Kalombo was then drafted in the 7th Round of the World League of American Football by the Sacramento Surge, where he set a record with a 70-yard fumble return for a touchdown.

Kalombo’s impressive career includes training some of the biggest names in professional sports. His clients include NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, a four-time Cup Series champion; Ricky Craven, a two-time NASCAR race winner; and Wally Dallenbach, a former NASCAR driver and commentator. In the NBA, Kalombo has worked with Derrick Coleman, the 1990 NBA Rookie of the Year; Charles Oakley, known for his defensive prowess; Dell Curry, an elite three-point shooter; and his cousin, NBA Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo, a four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. He has also trained NFL Super Bowl champion Charles Haley, the first player to win five Super Bowl titles.

Kalombo’s extensive resume also includes personal training for Rick Hendrick of Hendrick Motorsports, Felix Sabates of SABCO Racing, former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory, and Hugh McColl, founder of Bank of America. He has also trained pit crews for MBA/MBV Motorsports, working with drivers Johnny Benson and Ken Schrader. His innovative fitness programs helped optimize team performance while minimizing pit crew injuries, a crucial factor in motorsports success.

In the corporate arena, Kalombo has worked as a wellness coach for major organizations such as Bank of America, Accenture, Cort Furniture (a Berkshire Hathaway Company), Insight, and Tandberg USA. His "FAB 5" injury prevention and recovery program, developed for Cort Furniture, dramatically reduced workplace injuries and workers' compensation costs nationwide, earning recognition as one of Best HR Online’s Best Practices.

Kalombo became a media fitness guru with his "Get Fit with Kalombo" segment on WB Television and NBC News Charlotte, reaching millions of viewers across 35 U.S. markets. His ability to educate and motivate made him a highly sought-after speaker at both corporate and public events, where his passion for health and wellness shines through.

As an author, Kalombo’s first book, The Ultimate Guide to Being in the Best Shape After 40, provides a comprehensive approach to maintaining peak health and fitness later in life. His upcoming release, The High-Performance Blueprint: Transform Your Body and Mind to Achieve Your Peak Potential, draws from his experience with elite athletes, offering readers advanced strategies for optimizing their performance in both fitness and life.
