Our Story
K8 Fitness was born from a lifelong passion for sports, health, and fitness. Founded by Kate Dufty, I started my journey as a personal trainer in 2022, inspired by a love for helping others achieve their fitness goals.
​
When the opportunity came to create my own gym, I knew I wanted something different—something that stood apart from the crowded, commercialised fitness spaces. I envisioned a gym that felt personal, where members are more than just numbers, and where every individual's goals are truly valued. That vision became K8 Fitness, a place that offers a supportive, exclusive, and community-driven atmosphere for everyone who walks through our doors.
I wanted to design a space that caters to all fitness levels and goals, whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or pushing your limits as an experienced athlete.
​
At K8 Fitness, our goal is simple: to help you reach yours, with a personalized and hands-on approach. Through small classes, 24/7 access, and a unique booking system, we ensure that every member receives the attention they deserve in a welcoming, motivating environment.
K8 Fitness is where my dream came true, and now I’m here to help you achieve yours.
Thank you for being part of our story.
