Kylie Thomas - Sport Aerobics

From a very young age I have been involved with competitive Gymnastics and Sport Aerobics. I have been fortunate enough to develop a career based around my passion of competing at the highest level of my chosen sport and sharing my knowledge and passion through coaching and mentoring.

Having three young active children who help inspire and push me, I understand how important it is for children to find an outlet to express themselves. I also understand that fitness and developing healthy lifestyle patterns starts from a young age and it is important that children see fitness as FUN and not as something that is a chore or difficult.

AEROkids is a program very close to my heart as it has been a dream of mine to develop an gymnastics/aerobics and fitness program aimed at children of all ages and ability levels. I enjoy helping to improve the health and fitness of young people and helping them achieve their personal goals.
