13 Years of Fitness

Happy 13th Birthday to Genki Fit! 💪 13 years of fitness 💪 2000 Members 💪 Clients from as far away as Garibaldi 💪 Thousands of dollars raised for charity 💪 Over 10 charity runs 💪 Family environment with lifelong friends 💪 Supportive community of people David started Genki Fit as a way to bring fitness to small regional communities that didn't have easy, affordable access to fitness and health information. He built it up from nothing, running classes in Smythesdale, Haddon, Ballarat and surrounding areas. Through the amazing community of members, it gained a life of its own and became something more than probably he even thought it would become. Over the years Genki has raised money and awareness for many local causes including the Shorter family, Mothers Day Classic, Walk off the War Within and HEAPS of other amazing causes. David helped hundreds of people with their weight loss and general fitness goals through challenges, support and casual sessions. He promoted a fun, family-friendly environment that appealed to many who didn't feel accepted in the typical gym environment. Mick ran family nights on a Friday which were inclusive of all ages and encouraged teamwork, competitiveness and good sporting etiquette. Jaymee joined the team to teach sessions in 2017, and kept the classes going after David's departure in 2018. Jaymee saw the benefits that Genki Fit brought to Smythesdale and the wider community, and didn't want the town to lose that. Jaymee continued teaching sessions while promoting a fun, supportive, family-friendly and non-judgemental environment. She introduced new sessions including STRONG30, Beats and Boxing classes. During the covid-19 lockdowns she ran online fitness challenges and free sessions for the whole community to keep people active in lockdown. We are all so grateful for the people we've met, for the goals we've helped people achieve and for the amazing community you have all created. The Ellis Family thank all of the awesome Genki Family - whether you came to a class last week or haven't been in 7 years - for the fun, laughter, friends and memories. Please, if you can, leave a memory in the comments. 🥰 Birthday celebrations start this week 🥳
