ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Torrance, California, Ian Kay is a heart-led entrepreneur, athlete, coach, project manager, and product developer.

​

Areas of expertise: movement, strength & conditioning, HIIT, endurance, variety of resistance training, circuit training, calisthenics, kettlebells, Beckford Bar, accountability.

​

My purpose is to bring joy to and improve the lives of others by living an inspired life. I'm on a journey to encourage people to take ownership for their life through fitness and healthy habits.

​

A fit lifestyle isn't just about exercise endorphins, muscles and looks, it's about building confidence, mental toughness, progressing towards your goals, and life-long relationships with other like-minded people who want to better themselves.    

​

Athleticism runs in my DNA. I played baseball for 14 years, all the way through high school. I come from a family of athletes. My older brother Jordan played D1 NCAA football (place kicker) for UC Berkeley. My dad Neil was a NBA referee from 1983-85.

​

Even though I was born with a congenital heart defect (Aortic Stenosis) I do not consider myself a victim. I have had two open-heart surgeries and I am a proud heart warrior. I have faced adversity that has helped me transform my vulnerabilities into my greatest of strengths. Early on in life I learned how to manage my disadvantages.

​

I am not a victim. I am a fighter. I am not a product of my circumstances. I am what I continue to work on and make of myself. I‘ve faced many obstacles during my childhood (Rottweiler attack age 7, diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome age 10,  underwent two open-heart surgeries age 14 & 26) I continue to overcome and take on the challenges of life with a positive attitude.

​

Life is not fair; it is what you make of it. Everyone has their struggles and a unique story. When you experience something, no one will ever be able to take that away from you. Traumatic experiences early on in life shaped who I am today. From all the things that were out of my control, all I could control was my attitude and mindset. 

​

I learned a long time ago that the only thing guaranteed in life is change. I have multiple scars on my arm that tell a story. When I was 7, I was viciously attacked by a Rottweiler and had a near death experience. I was traumatized and terrified of dogs for years. My perception of how precious life is, forever changed. I healed myself and grew from the experience. I overcame my fear of dogs.

 

Conquering my fears early on in life brought clarity, meaning, and purpose to me to serve and help others thrive.

​

I’ve been helping people online with their fitness goals since 2017. With over 15 years of strength training experience, I firmly believe in the positive benefits exercising and living and active lifestyle brings to all areas of our lives.
