JEFF IS SUCH AN AMAZING TEACHER. HE KNOWS SO MUCH ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY AND HOW TO WORK MUSCELS YOU DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD.SO NICE.VERY PROFFESIONAL AND AMAZING TEACHER LEARNED SO MUCH FROM HIM. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!
No Comments
Class is easy to get a good grade but the actual exercises can be brutal! Provides extra credit to make up for missed classes. VERY knowledgeable and VERY professional. An all around nice guy with great legs too!
He's good at what he does, and i mean just what he does. he doesn't know much about anything else. thinks, he's super smart, when he's just a simpleton. needs to keeps he's stories to a minimum.
One of the BEST professors at Moorpark! He kept this class interesting and the learning was very hands-on. Geared toward becoming professional trainer, not just entry level. Must attend all classes & read the manual. Do extra credit that is offered, it helps! Would give Jeff a score of 110% out of 100%!
If you wanna take a PE class take Pilates with with Jeff! Love him so much, he makes me wanna change my major just so I can take classes with him. Such a good work out and you learn so much. Amazing.
spare your-self.
Took his pilates/core training class. Lots of fun, be prepared to work out though! His good natured attitude makes it really easy to come to class, attendance is important.
Professor Kriel is amazing! Great teacher with a great attitude and shares great interest about personal training. I had such an amazing time in the class because how interesting he made the class. Thank you for your help Jeff!
I lost around 10 pounds taking his kickboxing and pilates classes. Hes a totally cool guy and really works you out hard, which is why i took his classes
He is a fantastic teacher. Extremely funny which makes the class interesting. He truly cares about giving his students a good education and his classes combine both lecture and hands-on learning which puts his lectures to the test. If you want to be a personal trainer, or just want to learn about proper fitness, take this class.
He definitely gives you a workout! i took the pilates class and he made it very challenging but also fun. extremely willing to help out on anything. very understanding. Attendance important. Take this class for your PE class! it's great.
The highlight of my entire college career :) I love these classes!
This instructor is really knowledgeable and he makes sure that you leave sweating. However, I didn't like the fact that he gave quizzes and study guides (easy material) AND your grade relies on attendance and punctuality as well. I aced the quizzes and participated but b/c I was tardy he gave me a C.
Great Teacher! One of the best teachers at M.C.
HE'S AMAZING! Not bad to look at either.. one of the best teachers at moorpark. You'll get into great shaping taking his class and he knows his sh#@$ !!
Jeff is by far the coolest teacher i have ever had. His class is hard but he makes it easy because he really knows what he is talking about and he knows how to teach it. He constantly keeps the class interested, and helps you if you have any questions at all. I would suggest any of Jeff's classes to any age group with all different fitness levels a
fabulous class. id advise everyone to take it. he really knows what hes talking about.
I love this class. Jeff is the one of the best teachers. He is so funny and pushes you to improve. He is very understanding and doesn't make you workout if you cant. I'm sad he inst teaching kickboxing this spring, but I am defiantly going to be taking another P.E class with him. If you want a fun workout take Jeff.

This was a hard class for me, but I was determined and received a hard earned B. Yeah! Through writing the case study not only helped me learn how to create a workout program, but I also learned some things about myself. Really good stuff! It's true, Jeff is the one of the best teachers. He is passionate about the subject matter and quite funny.
Jeff is great! I took a couple of his classes a couple semesters ago. He made fun of my long hair a little bit, but to be serious this guy will prepare you. If you study the anatomy and all the science and listen you see he makes it fun and is easy to get along with.
Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable and is equally enthusiastic. He's always available for office hours and he CARES about his students! His class is NOT one to get an easy A, but you will learn, whether you like it or not. If you want to get ANYWHERE with a Kinesiology degree, TAKE JEFF!
TAKE JEFF! He is amazing. He pushes his students but not too hard. He's so funny & sweet & cute! I looked forward to this class every day & was so upset when it was over. He's not an easy A if you're just looking to slack off in a class - he will make you learn something! But he's just the best!
Jeff is very knowledgeable and motivating. He encouraged me to try more than I thought I could do and I did it! He was firm and didnt candy coat anything. He never cusses, YEA! One of the few professors that has a standard!
HE IS SO FUNNY. seriously. one of my favorite teachers ever. he really knows a lot and gets you invested and passionate about exercise and health. and just life altogether. any class with him is fantastic
His class is really easy. If you do all the extra credit you can walk with 100% failing the final. All the labs and quiz' are extremely easy. If you attend class you will be happy with your grade. He did stand up comedy before he had kids and is extremely funny. You will laugh at least once a class..
TAKE JEFF'S CLASSES. all of them if you want, and after having one class with him, you will want him to teach all of your other subjects. omg. funniest guy ever. i get an ab worout just by going to class cause im laughing so hard. his lectures dont feel like lectures, its too fun. hes extremely helpful and is just all around an AMAZING teacher.(((:
BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD. SIMPLY AMAZING AND THE FUNNIEST GUY I KNOW !!!!!! :))))))))))))))))))))))))
coolest teacher around. he is awesome and very helpful. great sense of humor! looking forward to taking more classes with him!
This class is so much fun! You do a lot of fun work outs and you definitely improve physically. Jeff is so helpful and funny and he really does make the class enjoyable. He uses positive reinforcement and is also very understanding. Take this class if you want an easy A and a good work out
TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!! He makes the class super interesting and gets you really into it.
Love him! He is so nice and funny and really puts you in a good mood. I loved coming to class every morning and getting a great workout! His workouts are hard but fun. Expect to have homework, but nothing hard! I would definitely recommend taking him for any subject he teaches, you can tell he actually cares about his students and loves his job.
BEST TEACHER EVER! Took multiple classes with him and lost a solid 15 pounds! He is awesome and you really have so much fun in his classes while learning.
Jeff is the man!!! coolest teacher ever! The class is not easy and you will need to study but believe me you will want to. He is extremely hilarious and gifted lecturer, and truly cares about what he does! You cant believe how much cool stuff you will learn. Be warned though if you take one of his classes your going to want to take all of them.
I took this class with the intention of becoming a certified personal trainer, and due to the knowledge Jeff possesses and his ability to convey it I am now a NASM Certified PT as well as a NASM Correctional Exercise Specialist. He is the most knowledgeable professor I have had at Moorpark as well as the most gifted lecturer.
Amazing teacher! Jeff knows his stuff! He really is gifted and knows how to reach out to each student in the class in a way that no other teacher takes the time to.
Moorpark College does not know how fortunate they are to have this instructor.
Best Teacher I have ever had. Jeff is amazing. Tests are hard but he will help you.
Jeff is AMAZING. Honestly the funniest professor I have ever had. If I was having an off day, he was able to turn it around! The class is pretty easy. Do all the homework, they're just 1/2 page responses.The "labs" are pretty easy as well. Make sure you study the vocab in the book & you'll get a good feel for the test. LOTS of E.C so TAKE ADVANTAGE
Jeff I knows what he is doing. I took bootcamp and I did not want this class to end. Pushes you to work hard but knows each students level. Wish I could take him again as I feel that I am in much better shape and know where my body can take me. TAKE HIM! He is also so funny and easy going, great man.
Jeff is a super great guy. This class is fun and pushes you! But, if you are looking for a straightforward pe class like I was, don't take this one. He gives quizzes and assignments that count for a ton of your grade which seemed a bit silly to me. It's pe man. let me workout, get my a and be done.
He is the best professor I have ever had. He really makes the class enjoyable. He really truly cares about his students.
I took his teaching group fitness class. You actually have to teach 3 different formats for group fitness. Music, exercises, and everything else is all created from scratch and its a blast getting to do this with everybody else whose also taking the course. I LOVED THIS PROFESSOR. BEST PROFESSOR AT MOORPARK COLLEGE.
Great class! Jeff explains things in a fun which means they sink in. You need to study for the tests, no easy A in this class, no handouts with fill in the blanks, you need to KNOW your stuff!
Dude....this teacher is the bees knees! Seriously amazing at what he does as a teacher. I feel that my education has taken a HUGE step in the right direction because of this guy. He has tests and assignments that challenge you, but they help you SO much. Jeff Kreil is the best teacher EVER!
Jeff is an excellent instructor and a great person. The workouts are intense, but he makes them fun and knows how far to push each student. He definitely knows what he is doing. I was amazed at my level of improvement during this class. There are quizzes and a final. He is fair but expects students to follow the rules. Great class, great guy.
OH MY GOODNESS JEFF IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER! I took his class so I can be fit in the summer and let me tell you what a great intense workout class. It's really fun and you feel great after working out in his class. Quizzes are super easy and have 1 final exam. I recommend this class to everyone plus why not work out its so much FUN!
Jeff is an amazing teacher and makes classes fun but his workouts do kick your butt!!!
He is cookbook HOT he knows what his talking about his a really good teacher. Really puts you to work.
Humble, helpful, and hilarious! Willing to do whatever it takes for you to get an understanding of the material and an A as well! So much extra credit, it's silly. It's his jazz hands, stand-up comedic attitude, and vibrant personality that gets you so involved. He's the man; take him!
Jeff is the most inspiring and motivating teach i have ever had the privilege to take! He is more than just a "pe teacher"! He will without a doubt change your life and give you an entire new perspective to health and fitness! There is no teacher i would recommend more than him!
He is very passionate about his subject, his students not only understanding the subject but being able to use what he teaches. He enjoys helping his student and also enjoys seeing his students achieve their goals inside and outside of class. Watch your language in his class though.
This guy teaches you shouldn't stretch before runs or workouts, only "active stretch". Surprised more people aren't injured long term. Be prepared for a lot program writing and a lot of scientific medical like terminology.
Great professor for a great course of Core stability and stretch. He knows what he is doing with a background of being a physical therapist at 24 hour fitness. You can get really fit in this class and love it too. He is a hilarious person and really down to Earth.
Best and hardest classes I've ever taken. This guy will make you work for it, but will do his best to help if you seek it. Tests are difficult, the NASM cpt test I took was much easier than his tests. Paying attention can be hard, this guy loves cracking jokes and making everyone laugh. Would take a work out class with him anyday.
He is so funny! He keeps you interested during lectures and tells great stories! Assignments are easy and not a waste of time or busy work. The assignments are made for you to learn more about jobs your interested in. Study for tests!! Use the book... lots of vocab and images/charts are tested on.
Great guy and teacher. Keeps class fun but will have to work for a good grade. Be prepared for lectures full info. He goes really fast through tons of material.
Jeff was a joy to take this semester. His teaching methods are outstanding and he engages the students very well. He is hilarious, and keeps you laughing and interested in the content with examples. This is a tough class but he has passion for fitness and reflects it immensely. The final project is super tough and he tells you that on the first day
I took his class because I could not stop hearing about him. Finally, agreed to take him and I cannot tell you how much I have learned from Jeff. The guy is great at what he does and is very educated. If you are trying to learn about fitness, be a personal trainer, get a degree in PT, Kin, and or physiology, this is a great place to start.
Jeff is absolutely the best teacher I have ever had. Yes, his classes are difficult but you will learn so much and you get the grade you earn. Put in the work, and you will get a good grade. He cares about his students, is always willing to help, and is an all around motivating person.
Jeff is awesome and I really enjoyed his class. 12/10 would take again and I am hoping to be able to in the future. PLEASE take one of his classes, they are amazing. He really works with you and makes sure that you are comfortable in his class, my favourite of the semester.
Professor Kreil is an amazing teacher! He is hilarious and makes his lecture very interesting. He is very passionate about fitness and inspires you! He is clear on the grading and offers extra credits. Do assignments, study lecture notes on D2L for exams and you can get an A! I highly recommend him.
Jeff is an awesome professor! He works you really hard but its a lot of fun! he's a really funny guy too! He moves you through the work outs smoothly. I also learned a lot in his class. while everyone is working out he talks about what you're doing and why. He has three quizzes that are easy if you look at the study guide. He is a great professor!
Jeff is awesome! He makes you work hard in the class but its a lot of fun! he knows A LOT about working out and personal training so the work outs are always very well organized. While you're doing the exercises he explains what you are doing and why. i learned a lot in his class but i also had a lot of fun! he's one of my favorite professors!
Jeff is a great professor! He's hilarious and his work outs are really fun! Boot camp is really tiring but you will feel super fit after every class.
Jeff really is the best. I wish there were more than 2 classes a week. He's a caring, knowledgable, relatable, funny guy that makes you want to push yourself. I feel legitimately guilty if I don't put in the effort he expects of me. Definitely going to be taking another one of his classes next semester.
This man will go down in history as a legend. Jeff will forever receive praise for how incredibly amazing and passionate he is about teaching. you MUST take at least one of his classes. The fact that I am coming back as an alumni and writing a rate my professor says something. Show up to class everyday ready to learn & laugh.
Hands down the best professor I've ever had. I looked forward to his class everyday. He is so funny and engaging in his lectures, it doesn't even feel like he is lecturing it feels like he's just talking you. Show up, do your homework, study, and you'll pass. He won't remind you about homework assignments so make sure to check the syllabus often.
The best professor I have had at Moorpark college. he is extremely knowledgeable and loves what he teaches! He has extensive experience in the Fitness industry and a huge network of people. His tests are difficult if you do not study. He makes his lectures fun and rememberable. High recommend him as a professor!
Funny, and inspirational. I would def take again. The book was a little dry, but Jeff did a great job making this class fun. He offers extra credit, and honestly, the assignments are not that hard, just show up and do the best you can. He was an amazing "teacher."
Jeff is energetic naturally and than he drinks monsters all day long, so he is very active in front of the class, often hilariously so. He expects you to really push yourself physically, the lecture stuff is mostly just memorization, lots of vocab to know, he'll use it on the test.
You will never meet a more caring, educated, passionate, and all around AMAYZING individual in your entire life! Taken 5 classes with him + internship. Do yourself a favor and take a class with this man, you will want more. Do your part, get to know him, let him get to know you, and you will be successful in everything you do. LOVE THIS MAN!!!
Jeff is an AMAZING professor. He is caring, funny, and extremely nice. His homework is beyond easy and is always willing to help. Always answers your questions and gives great feed back. If you miss class you will miss out on info, but you can get notes from another student. I wish he would've made a study guide for his tests. Overall, amazing!
Super hot, super funny. Warning though, you have to go to class and you must read the text, breathe the text. He doesn't give study guides and that caused me to get a D on both his tests but with extra credit i made an A in his class. He really cares about every student he has and will be there for you if you need him. Take him but read the text.
Take him take him he is so funny and unforgettable
I have taken so many classes with Jeff and he is by far my favorite teacher I have ever had. I recommend him to all my friends who are interested in taking a class by him. He genuinely cares about you and your grade and will help you get the grade that you want. He understands that not everyone is a test taker and will help you so much!
I took this class for KIN MO1 and it was great. He's a really good professor , He knows whats he's taking about and is a really open teacher. I found him approachable. Make sure to read the chapters and take small notes for the test. His quizzes are basically half of the test. Always turn in assignments or lose points fast and he offers extra cred.
Amazing professor, he knows his field and loves what he does. He will go above and beyond to act out or explain a concept if its confusing to you. Prob the funniest professor ive ever had/has so much energy to wake u up and catch ur attention. Cuz of this you learn sooo much and enjoy every bit of it!
Too many great qualities to list all!... He cares about students;, wants them to succeed , wants to give them the best experience, most relevant info to their situation. He inspires fitness and prosperity, has fun in class, learns not just your name but your interests, concerns and prospects -day 1. Helps you find BEST career path; resume, jobs!
Jeff is great and not just knowledgeable but experienced. He cares about each and one of his students. Helps you with more than just the subject but your future, career path, resume, etc. Lectures can be super enthusiastic or can get boring, textbook is important finding information, quizzes were basically the test, so review it. Extra credit!
He is super energetic and always makes you laugh at least once in class. His lectures follow the textbooks and going to class really helps you connect the material to his personal events that he shares which is better than just reading the textbook. I still had to read over the textbooks chapters to do well on the test. Overall not to bad.
Lectures are very fun. He connects with his students. He is a great teacher. Tests are little hard but can make up for it if you do the classwork which are easy.
By far the best professor i have ever had and he helped me commit to a career in fitness just by taking his class. hes awesome.
Jeff is so funny and its so fun being in his class. He is really is one of my favorite professors because he actually cares about his students. While the tests are hard, there are plenty of opportunities to get extra credit and other assignments in class to help boost your grade. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
By far one of the best professors I've ever had. You can tell he loves teaching and uses his undying energy to excite the entire class into WANTING to learn. That said keep in mind that his classes are no joke. You NEED to study for tests outside of class because there is a TON of information to learn, even if it's not too difficult to pick up.
Great teacher. He brings in people he knows from the exercise science/therapy field and has them talk about their career which is so helpful for deciding majors/careers. Great professor and very respectable. This class helped me pick my major and I love it so much.
He's awesome! Enough Said!
Literally the best Kinesiology teacher there is. Funny, smart and educational af. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
super funny and nice. he is a great professor, he really knows his stuff. he is also very caring. his test is a little hard, just go over the notes
Hands down the most energetic and exciting teacher to have for lectures. ALWAYS keeps it so interesting and goes the extra mile for further discussion. He gives you so many opportunities to post your grade with extra credit which every student dreams of.
This man is a GOD! He is funny, entertaining and NEVER stops talking about how hot his wife is lol! There are relatively simple assignments and some book studies involved that are pretty simple to do. Its a fun and great class!!!
I LOVED Jeff's class so much! Unfortunately our semester was transferred online halfway through due to corona virus but he continued a few zoom lectures. His lectures are so fun and interesting, he is a great teacher, and you can tell he loves his job and his students. I will be taking more of his classes for sure!
If you're even remotely interested in Kinesiology/Exercise Science, TAKE JEFF'S CLASSES!!! I've taken 2 classes with him, and he is by far the best professor I've ever had in my 2 years of college so far. Even if you just need some elective credits & aren't interested in majoring in the field, I highly recommend him. You'll learn so much and enjoy.
Mr. Kreil is an AMAZING professor! He is very knowledgeable about Kinesiology and creates a welcoming learning environment. This was my first Kinesiology class and I learned a lot. He is very understanding, assigns a very reasonable amount of work, and all of his assignments are super meaningful. I would recommend him to anybody!
Professor Kreil was very laid back, and the class was not difficult at all. There were recorded lectures and small quizzes after each one. Although I enjoyed the class, it was very surface level and simple. I definitely expected to learn way more than I did. It was a good start, but this class was definitely just an "introduction" to Kinesiology.
Took his class online and think thats the only reason I got a high grade. His lectures covered the topic very broadly, and the quizzes and tests asks very specific questions that I often didn't know the answers to. The workload was really inconsistent, often going for weeks at a time without work, which is either good or bad, depends what you want.
Jeff's class was one of my faves this semester! The first half of the semester started online due to pandemic reasons, but when we went back in person I really enjoyed taking his class. His lectures are very knowledgable, funny, and you can learn a lot from him. If you're a kinesiology major, I highly recommend his classes!!!
I took his asynchronous KIN M01 class and it was great. Not only were the lectures and assignments clearly laid out, but he really sets up his students for success by adding things like resume building tutorials and career exploring opportunities. You can tell he really cares about his students and what he is teaching. Great professor!
If you are studying for ANY healthcare field don't hesitate to take his class. Jeff is truly is one of the best Exercise Science professors ever. I have learned so much from beginning at the lectures, labs, Q&A's, to the comment feedbacks all the things in between. Lectures are clear, quizzes are in the textbooks, and homework is not too heavy.
He was a great professor! Lectures were very informative. Gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. Keeps up on grade book !
No complaints about this professor. He really is passionate about Kinesiology and wants to share that passion with his students. Clear grading criteria. Awesome extra credit opportunities. Kind, patient, and offers good feedback. Definitely take him if you're interested in pursuing a career in Exercise Science or Kinesiology.
Awesome class! He is passionate about his field and his lectures are very intriguing and easy to follow. Very important to study as the tests are a bit intense but over all a great course and instructor. Highly recommend!
Very caring guy!!
Amazing lectures and experience. Knowledgeable in the field. I wish his tests and quizzes matched that same energy though. I felt I knew and learned a lot during class time but when it came to testing half of it was like a shocking surprise.
If you're looking for a professor who will show you methods to manage stress, exercise for health, and eat better, look elsewhere. I was looking forward to this class for that reason, but modules lack substance. Shows a lot of political beliefs & uses biased sources/videos. Requires political discussions unrelated to health class for grades.
Professor Kreil makes learning kinesiology engaging. Covers topics thoroughly, offers helpful feedback, and provides useful resources like Unstuck study for study prep. Reasonable workload and flexible grading.
Awesome, engaging and straight forward prof. I will be taking as many of his classes as possible. Lot of extra credit opportunities. The quizzes & tests all from his video lectures. Did talk about controversial topics sometimes that may be uncomfortable, but you'll love him and his classes. Do the work and you'll do great. I recommend KIN16,17
I loved this class he is a great professor his expectations on grading are very clear. There was a decent amount of work but I took this during the summer and it was a 4 week class so makes sense his class is fairly easy I would recommend taking it he makes kinesiology very interesting to learn about and not boring like you'd think it would be.
Dr. Kreil is an amazing professor. If you have any questions for him he will respond rather quickly, and he is true to the syllabus. I would take his classes again.
