I never thought I’d be writing this but here goes.
After thirteen years at the helm of Kickstart Fitness I’ve decided to step away and close the doors.
This may come as a real surprise to people who don’t know me and see the place online looking busy etc but those who know me understand fully why I need to do it and I am grateful for that.
I have so many opportunities and ideas I want to refocus my energy towards and I simply can not give these anywhere near the attention required whilst spending sixty to seventy hours per week switched on at Kickstart, it’s not possible anymore.
This decision has pulled on my heart for months now, it’s by far the toughest decision, but I am doing it for myself and maybe that’s why it feels so difficult.
I will be running classes as normal until next Wednesday, I’ll pull the shutter down after that for good. I had been looking at other options in terms of keeping it going without me there, right up until today but I feel those options will not be Kickstart and will not allow me to move on.
I want to thank everyone, past and present, members and staff for what I can only describe as a unique and amazing experience and I hope I have added some value physically and mentally to anyone I’ve met along the way.
I will focus now on educating back into our industry through TRX courses and other mentorship programs I have to offer.
I will also be launching online training programmes and I can now also get right behind my idea of setting up a top class podcast.
Finally I will be teaching tomorrow morning 9.30 class where I will be happy to speak in more detail to anyone who has any questions or concerns about this decision.
Thank you all.
Love ❤️✌️
Darren.
