My Story: Why did I start my fitness career and how did I get here?
In today's blog, I am going to write about how I started my NKH Fitness business class and built the NKH Fitness community. This is going to be about pre-fitness times, why did I start, pursuing a fitness career and fast-forward to today.
Before I started my fitness career, I had a street dance background back then so I got into street dance as a little girl to build my confidence and I took part in dance performances. I used to train dance and toning exercises at home via DVD, including the Ministry of Sounds Pump It Up series when I was a teenager at that time.
I studied at school and in college as well as part-time jobs and voluntary work. I was not sure what to do in my career. However, I was in the dark place from being bullied at secondary school because of my autism and social anxiety at school so it was so challenging. I stood up for myself and the bullying stopped. It was not my fault, it was the bully's choice to attack me. If you were bullied, it's never your fault.
I lost my dad at 21 which caused me to have depression, and constant intrusive thoughts and I have been guarded since then.
Karen showed a video of a unique dance cardio class with colourful lights, 90s music and the atmosphere - it's in the dark, glow sticks, lights and awesome club music from the 90s and 00s which I love and got me buzzing. That caught my eye...
I met Shelly Palmer who used to present Clubbercise at Pineapple Dance Studios in London and she encouraged me to become a group exercise instructor. I trained at HFE and I achieved a Level 2 Fitness Instructor Exercise to Music qualification.
I also met amazing fitness experts and other instructors in the fitness industry. That changed my life! I started my fitness career after discovering Clubbercise and creating NKH Fitness!
Fast forward to today, I am more of a different person today than I was before - managing my own fitness business, teaching classes which I love doing as a job, doing strength training, going for a 5k walk, mobility exercises and taking care of myself to keep my mental health/intrusive thoughts at bay.
Now I am delivering classes for everyone aged 30-65+ such as hybrid classes, On-Demand, Clubbercise, HIIT, LIIT and Fitness Pilates.
If I didn't do fitness, then NKH Fitness would not exist.
I love what I do right now.
REMEMBER: Don't be afraid to tell your story, it will inspire others.
