Kirsty is passionate about helping people find health and happiness amidst busy family and career commitments.
Co-owner of Aristos Fitness, Kirsty has an extensive list of certifications and experience in the Health and Fitness industry, including:
“As a child and teenager, exercise meant playing sport. Tennis was my main passion, and through which I fell in love with the world of Sport Science – strength & conditioning, physiotherapy & massage, nutrition and psychology.
As I entered my twenties and found myself in a desk job (albeit in Sport Science), I bounced around between traditional gyms, bootcamps, and fitness classes – anything from body pump and body attack; to Zumba and step aerobics; to body balance and yoga.
However, this changed almost overnight when I found Functional Fitness.
I almost instantly fell in love with the process – of having goals to work towards, a community with purpose, and coaches who cared. And I quickly began to see muscle definition I had never experienced in all my years of sport and training.
In 2015, my husband, Robbie, and I opened the doors of our very own gym – Aristos Fitness (then CrossFit Stewarton). We were so excited to help other people find a love of training, and support them to experience similar transformations in mind and body.
However, our eyes were very quickly opened to the vast range of motives which led people to seek health and fitness coaching; to the needs of each individual; to the physical and mental benefits of not just training, but of exercise, both within and out-with the gym. Perhaps most importantly, of having someone to listen to you; to support you.
We became aware of the help required for those returning from injury. Or still in pain.
For women trying to stay fit and healthy throughout their pregnancy; or looking to regain function postpartum. Or trying to lead a healthy, happy life throughout the menopause.
For those caught in the endless yoyo of weight loss.
We began to realise that fitness means something different to everyone; and that it changes for each individual depending upon life demands.
My training now as a mum, wife, business owner and friend, looks very different to that in my twenties or thirties. My goal is to be able to run, cycle, swim and play tennis for the rest of my life, and I strength train to support these passions.
I love the multidimensional and amazing team that makes Aristos what it is today. I love seeing the small changes day to day in our clients and members. And I love having time each day to spend doing the things I love with family and friends.”
