Kim is a personal trainer and is currently working at City Fitness in Three Kings, Auckland.
Her previous teaching profession has provided her with a unique insight into being able to teach people from all walks of life. Her main focus and priority is keeping clients injury-free and ensuring correct movement and form. For some of her clients, who wanted to exercise without pain, she’s been the last resort.
Kim focuses on resistance training and women’s health, and helps her clients navigate obstacles in their fitness journey. She uses a range of modalities since there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to training and health. In some cases, she uses the client’s menstrual cycle to adapt their training regime.
