About My Fitness Kickboxing Classes in Perth
Back in 2010 we started our first adult fitness classes which we called “KickFit”. This was designed mainly for mums looking to lose weight tone up and increase their energy levels. The lessons were put together by our own experienced Personal Trainers (PT’s) and fully qualified physiotherapist. As the instructors also had a strong background in martial arts the classes incorporated more and more kickboxing combinations and we changed the name to MyFitnessKickboxing.
What we have today is incredible high energy fun classes that have been designed to give everyone no matter their fitness level a dynamic and safe all over body workout!
So whether you are preparing for an iron man event or just wanting to climb a flight of stairs without stopping, these classes are for YOU.

Seven years on she lives and breathes martial arts and decided to expand her horizons into Muay Thai and Kickboxing.
