Kelly's Story
Hi I am Kelly McMahon, creator, owner and manager of InspireFit.
Health and fitness has been my passion from a young age. You will not be shocked to hear my favourite subject at school was PE and I have always dreamt of being able to inspire and motivate people to move more, love movement and have fun while doing it! These values still run through everything I do today.
My journey started in 1998 when I qualified as a fitness instructor and shortly thereafter I left my desk job to pursue a career in health and fitness, teaching in and around Dunfermline in community centres, local leisure centres and key fitness establishments. In 2002 I found and fell in love with Pilates and began my Pilates teaching journey with Michael King, initially in mat but soon thereafter I qualified in reformer. I have continued over the years to upskill, travelling to London and the US, and have trained with various training schools, including Stott Pilates and Drummond Education. In recent years, my passion for Pilates and continued development has led me to become the UK Instructor Trainer for Pilates Suspension Method and Educator and Assessor for Drummond Education as well as becoming an Instructor Trainer in Reformer.
The Dream
In 2014, my dream became a reality and I opened my very own studio. InspireFit was born. I am very proud of the welcoming and inclusive hub that has been created. By attracting a team of highly skilled instructors, who share my passion, I have been able to ensure there is something for everyone. InspireFit is not only about fitness, it’s about health and wellbeing and we have such an amazing, supportive community where everyone is welcome!
“Inspirefit” runs through everything that we do and we ensure that every single person that steps through our door, receives a positive and supportive experience. As a team we love seeing the difference in people and how they have improved their mental and physical wellbeing. It is an absolute joy and inspires ME to keep evolving and pouring my heart and soul into it.
Welcome to InspireFit, I hope you will love it as much as we do.
