EKF continues to grow in Great Park
Meet Kim and Garry McGuire, the owners, and instructors behind Energy Kick Fitness. This dynamic duo is on a mission to help people achieve their fitness goals and promote the importance of consistency in maintaining a strong and healthy body for everyday living.
With almost two years of experience in running fitness classes and personal training, Kim and Garry have a lot of knowledge to share. They are qualified to instruct anyone from 2-year-olds to seniors, and Kim even holds a pre- and post-natal qualification. Both have a background in martial arts, and Garry is also a qualified self-defence instructor.
When they started their business in May 2021 at Great Park Community Centre, they ran just three classes a week, often with only two to four attendees. However, by January & February 2023, they are closing in on 1000 spaces being filled for EKF classes at the centre for those two months alone.
Despite the challenges that come with running a business, Kim and Garry are passionate about what they do. They believe that consistency is key to maintaining a strong body for everyday living, and that exercise is also beneficial for mental wellbeing. As Kim says, “It’s so much more than just losing weight or following a quick-fix program. Your body needs to last a lifetime, not just six weeks.”
For those looking to pursue a similar path or achieve similar goals, Garry and Kim advise that running your own business takes a lot of dedication and commitment, but the rewards can be well worth it. As Garry puts it, “I never thought I’d be able to pass on what I’ve learned in life to others, never mind running my own business. If you want to do it, all I can say is go for it. What do you have to lose? Give it your best shot, you only live once.”
When asked about their favourite thing about the Great Park community where they operate their business, Garry and Kim rave about the down-to-earth people and the growing opportunities to help more people achieve their fitness goals. As they continue to expand and offer more classes to the community, they are excited to see what the future holds for Energy Kick Fitness.
