Genki Fit was established in 2009 by David Ellis, who while teaching in a small rural Japanese village came up the idea to provide health and fitness knowledge to regional communities that didn't have easy access to fitness programs. He chose to name the business Genki (元気) Fit: a Japanese word that can refer to health, energy & vitality.

​

The Ellis family have provided fitness and dance classes to Smythesdale and the wider community for nearly 15 years. When David decided to take a trip around Australia with his wife and 3 sons, the business was taken on by Jaymee Ellis in 2018. Jaymee has over 12 years of experience in the fitness industry and previously ran her own business teaching dance, fitness and circus skills. She has a Certificate IV in Fitness and certifications in Pilates, Strong Nation, Boxing, Step, Circuit, and Reformer training styles.

​

For 15 years, Genki Fit has promoted and encouraged engagement in fitness activities and a healthy lifestyle within small communities by creating fun, engaging workouts suitable for all ages and abilities.

 

In 2022, we surpassed our 2000th participant. We are proud to continue supporting the local community achieve their fitness goals.

​

Genki Fit's mission is to make fitness accessible to everyone by delivering affordable, fun and inclusive fitness classes. The supportive, family environment provides much needed encouragement and support for members.
