Fitness News: A Summer of Getting Active at East Kilbride Fitness Academy
It has been a fantastic summer on the fitness side of East Kilbride Taekwon-Do & Fitness Academy, with plenty of opportunities for our members and the wider community to get active, try something new and keep moving!
Summer Sports Camp – A Great Way to End the Summer
As the school holidays came to an end, we held our Summer Sports Camp days, giving children the opportunity to get active and try out some of the different fitness equipment in our Fitness Suite.
Under the supervision and guidance of our coaches, the children were able to learn how to use the equipment safely while having fun and challenging themselves.
It was a great way to finish the summer holidays, with lots of energy, teamwork and plenty of smiles!
Men’s Only – 6 Week Fitness Block
Our fitness programme continues to grow, and we’re excited to offer our Men’s Only 6 Week Fitness Block.
Led by Coach Frank, this small-group block is designed to challenge participants, build strength and fitness, and help everyone work towards becoming the strongest version of themselves.
It’s a great opportunity to train in a focused environment, push yourself and work alongside others with similar goals.
Mums & Babies Fitness Classes
We’re also continuing to offer our popular Mums & Babies fitness classes, giving mums the chance to get active, feel stronger and meet other mums — all while bringing their little one along!
With classes taking place throughout the week, there are different sessions and styles to choose from:
📍 East Kilbride Taekwon-Do & Fitness Academy
MONDAYS – 10AM
Circuits with Coach Stacey
TUESDAYS – 12:30PM
Bag Attack with Coach Stacey
FRIDAYS – 10AM
Kettlebells with Coach Kristen
Babies are welcome, and all fitness levels are encouraged to join in. It’s a great way to make time for yourself, get moving and meet other mums in the community.
Sunday Morning Teamwork
And it’s not just our organised classes that keep the team moving!
This weekend, commitments meant the team had to head out an hour earlier than planned — but there were no excuses!
The mindset was simple: we’ll just go out earlier — and that’s exactly what they did!
A huge well done to Louise, Lynsey, Nicola and Irene, who got their Sunday morning started with 5K and 7.5K runs!
That’s the kind of mindset we love to see — making it work, supporting each other and getting it done!
Keeping East Kilbride Active
From children’s sports camps and small-group fitness blocks to mums and babies classes and our own coaches getting out and putting in the miles, there is always something happening at the academy.
Whether you’re completely new to fitness or already working towards your next goal, our team is here to help you get moving, build confidence and enjoy your training.

At EK Fitness Academy, we continue to help the East Kilbride community stay fit, healthy, and confident in a welcoming and supportive environment. Our fitness community continues to grow, and we are delighted to see so many members making fantastic progress through consistency, commitment, and hard work.
One of the biggest announcements this month is that our hugely popular Small Group Personal Training programmes will be opening up to new members from 17th August. These programmes provide the perfect balance of expert coaching, accountability, support, and community, helping members achieve incredible results in a friendly and encouraging environment.
A huge congratulations goes to Nicola, who recently achieved her fastest 10K time yet at the Ladies 10K event, completing the distance in an impressive one hour. Nicola has worked incredibly hard over the past year, and it has been amazing to watch her progress and confidence grow. Her achievement is a fantastic example of what can be accomplished through dedication and consistency.
We are also incredibly proud of Lynsey, who has achieved outstanding results through her commitment to training and building sustainable habits. Lynsey has lost an incredible 9.45 inches, reduced her weight by 6.2kg, dropped two dress sizes, and is now stronger, fitter, healthier, and more confident than ever. Her success is proof that lasting results come from showing up consistently, trusting the process, and making positive lifestyle changes rather than relying on quick fixes or fad diets.
With the school holidays in full swing, we know that childcare can often make it difficult for parents to prioritise their fitness. That’s why at EK Fitness Academy we do things a little differently. Our welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere means members are welcome to bring their children along while they train and remain part of our supportive community.
Our daytime classes continue throughout the holidays, including Circuits on Mondays at 10:00am, Bag Attack on Tuesdays at 12:30pm, and Kettlebells on Fridays at 10:00am. Whether your goal is to get fitter, stronger, relieve stress, or simply enjoy exercising alongside a fantastic group of people, there is something for everyone.
At EK Fitness Academy, we are proud to provide a positive environment where people can improve both physically and mentally while being supported every step of the way. If you’ve been thinking about starting your fitness journey, now is the perfect time to get involved and see where you could be in just a few months.
Come along and give our classes a try — you won’t regret it!

At EK Fitness Academy, we are passionate about helping the East Kilbride community stay fit, healthy, and confident in a welcoming and supportive environment. Our fitness community continues to grow every week, and we are proud to offer a wide range of classes from Monday to Friday including Strength Circuits, Hybrid Fitness, Bag Attack Circuit Training, Kettlebells, Fitness Bootcamp, and much more.
Our Fitness Kickboxing classes on Thursday evenings are also proving to be extremely popular, welcoming people of all fitness levels to come along and give something new a try. Head Fitness Coach Stacey continues to emphasise that EK Fitness Academy is a community fitness centre where everyone is encouraged and supported regardless of experience or ability. We also offer personal training sessions for those who prefer smaller group environments or more individualised support on their fitness journey.
One of the highlights of recent weeks has been the incredible progress shown by our Run Club members. A massive well done to Nicola and Irene, who both smashed their longest distance yet by completing an impressive 6.5K run! This is an amazing achievement and proof that consistency, determination, and simply showing up every week really does pay off.
The best part of Run Club is watching members grow in confidence, feel fitter, stronger, and healthier while enjoying the journey together. No matter the pace, every single person is improving, and the positive atmosphere on a Sunday morning is what makes the club so special.
Coach Stacey has also been leading by example after recently taking part in the Edinburgh 10K. A huge well done to Stacey on a fantastic performance and for continuing to inspire so many members through her own fitness journey.
Meanwhile, our younger members have also been working incredibly hard. There was really no better way to finish Kids Hybrid class recently than with a challenging “Snatch Sally Up” song workout — and the kids absolutely smashed it! Their energy, determination, and teamwork continue to impress week after week.
At EK Fitness Academy, we are proud to offer something for everyone and to create a positive environment where people can improve both physically and mentally while being part of a supportive community.
