Meet Kim Bouldin of FabYOUlous Fitness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kim Bouldin. 

Hi Kim, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I have always had an interest in health and fitness, but after the birth of our second child, I decided to pursue a career as a personal trainer. At the time I was training to run a half marathon and exercising at our local big box gym. I always felt uncomfortable in the gym…so much so that there were times when I would skip certain exercises to avoid the possibility of looking like a fool. As I went through the personal training curriculum, I decided that I wanted to help other women like me who avoided the gym (or exercise altogether) because they were scared, intimidated, or uncomfortable. 

Once I completed my certification, I found a small local studio for women and began seeing clients. Over the past 10 years, I’ve continued to create a safe space for women to exercise, eliminating one of the biggest obstacles standing between women and their goals. I opened my own space in 2018, giving FabYOUlous Fitness its own brick & mortar location. We’ve grown so much that we’re in the process of taking on additional space with hopes of opening the doors to the expansion by May 1, 2022. 

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hasn’t always been a smooth road, especially with the arrival of COVID in 2020. We moved into a new space in January 2020 and were shut down for 10 weeks beginning on March 16, 2020. Fortunately, I had just hired a business coach and she was an integral part in our pivoting to Zoom training sessions while we were shut down. The first few weeks were really tough, but we kept on showing up and so did our clients. We actually still hold Zoom sessions today and have been able to work with clients that don’t live close enough to visit our studio in person. This is the silver lining of the pandemic for the studio. 

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We help busy Westerville (and surrounding area) women over 35 years old feel better and have more energy without extreme rules and restrictions so they can be empowered to live their best lives. We use the “FabFit Method” which is made up of 3 key components: FabFit Success Blueprint, sustainable habit-based fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle guidance, and elite accountability coaching. Contrary to what many believe, you do not have to feel like you got the snot beat out of you to get a great workout and reach your goals. Consistent workouts, at a level appropriate for you and your goals, paired with habit-based nutrition and lifestyle guidance, are the secrets to success. 

We offer true “small group training” with no more than 5 women per session. This allows us to focus on the individual, offering exercises and options that are appropriate for all fitness levels, in a group setting. 

We also offer personal training for those who prefer to work one-on-one. We round out our offerings with studio group fitness classes which include, yoga, Pilates, step, HIIT, cardio strength blast, and more. 

We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
The day before St. Patrick’s Day in 2020 I hired my business coach against the wishes of my husband. This has been the best decision I could have made for the business and the reason we’ve continued to see growth over the past 2 years. I’m not sure if that’s good luck or a sign from God, but I knew in my heart that I needed to take that step.

  • Studio Group Fitness Classes $22/drop-in class – Packages available
  • Small-Group Training Membership – starts at $299/4-weeks on autopay

    Hello! I trained under Kim Bouldin at FabYoulous Fitness and was an instructor and taught some classes there after I became a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. Kim is an amazing trainer and I am so thankful that I found her!

    Kim and her team are incredible! She has created a community of and for women that is second to none. FabYOUlous Fitness helped me immensely during the pandemic (when I joined) and got me on a path to healthy, strong and mindful.
