About Kirsty

Hi,

I’m Kirsty, and here’s a little bit about my fitness story to date;

I’ve not always been into fitness. In fact, as a child I hated exercise. I was the kid that was always asking Mum for letters to get out of swimming!

In my mid to late teens I discovered aerobics, callanetics and legs, bums and tums! I loved these classes and the ‘balancing effect’ regular participation had on my overall well-being.

Fast forward a few years and my first ‘proper job’ had a gym in the building and offered personal training and fitness classes - this was my first introduction to weight training.

After university, I spent 25 years working in marketing - both overseas and in Australia. During this time, my commitment to fitness continued but in a way that offered balance and creativity in my life; my gym sessions helped me to manage stress, have a healthy break from work and always seemed to be the place where I had my best ideas and most successful problem solving moments!

I came to learn how to tune-in to my mind and my body, and give it what it needed; when I was anxious, I would turn to yoga and stretching;  when I was angry, boxing was unbeatable, and when I was feeling challenged yet determined, weight training won hands down!

At no point did I ever think I would be teaching fitness full time!
