RM ONLINE MEMBER STORY - KIRSTEN
Kirsten Smith
AGE: 50
BRISBANE, SUNNY QUEENSLAND
1) WHAT IS YOUR PASSION OUTSIDE OF WORK?
Definitely travelling. From planning a getaway to exploring new places, the whole process of travel is something I love.
2) TELL US WHAT YOUR PERSONAL STRENGTHS ARE?
I’m a very organised person who sees the good in everything. Life is too short to be anything but positive.
3) WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF?
I love that I have the ability to tell stories that make people laugh. There’s nothing better than a good belly laugh with great friends.
4) CAN YOU SHARE WITH US SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW?
I’m a bit of an online over sharer - I wrote a personal blog for 10 years and now share a lot on instagram - so I’m not sure there’s much left to share lol. But one random fact about me, is I used to be so scared of needles that I didn’t get my ears pierced until I was 32.
5) HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AN RM ONLINE MEMBER?
I’ve been an RM ONLINE Member since November 2022 and love it!
6) HOW HAVE YOU CHANGED AFTER BECOMING AN RM ONLINE MEMBER?
I’m not someone who naturally loves to exercise. I was never a sporty kid and I think a lack of self confidence in that area growing up has definitely worked its way into my adult life. The RM Online program has been a game changer for me. The mix of workouts is awesome and I love that I can also focus on my mind with the yoga and meditation sessions. Doing the workouts in the comfort of my home has meant I’ve become more confident in my ability to try new exercises, which has probably been the biggest change for me.
7) WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT RM ONLINE?
I love that there’s such a huge variety in classes to choose from. There are so many options and it’s very helpful to be able to pick and choose a workout based on how you’re feeling or what you’d like to achieve that day. I also love Rachelle’s calm and caring approach in every workout video. It makes such a refreshing change from other online and in person classes I’ve taken over the years. Rachelle has a unique ability to make you feel empowered and set up for the day ahead, all while encouraging you to move your body.
8) IS THERE A STORY YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE IN LIFE?
SOMETHING FUNNY, INTERESTING OF SOMETHING YOU HAVE OVERCOME?
In 2015 I began to lose my eyesight and was diagnosed with a rare condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH for short) I was put on a cocktail of medication to treat it, which made me very unwell. It was a very tough time for myself, my husband and our two kids but I was determined to overcome it and save my eyesight in the process.
After five long years of battling IIH, I was finally given the news that I was in remission. It was a moment in time I will never forget and one I’m very proud of.
Thanks Rachelle, I’m absolutely loving the Real Movement program and I’m so proud to be an ambassador for it.
