Kit Warner

Hello, I’m Kit Warner, and I’m proud to be one of the co-owners of Spartan Fitness of Columbia. My journey into gym ownership was sparked when I began providing outpatient therapy services within SpartanFitness in 2022. As the practice grew, so did my vision for how I could make a meaningful impact on our community through gym ownership. I soon realized that my educational background, which includes a Master of Occupational Therapy and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Studies (Management/Marketing), aligned perfectly with the opportunity to enhance the gym’s current successes. Fitness has been a cornerstone of my life since a young age. I began my athletic journey at just 5 years old, playing baseball, and later, at 8 years old, discovering my love for basketball. Throughout high school, my passions centered around basketball and track, where I recognized the importance of training and the benefits of well-structured programs that proved invaluable during my years as a high school athlete. After high school and college, my focus shifted towards my career throughout my twenties, and I found myself neglecting exercise. However, when I turned 30, I grew tired of feeling weak, achy, and low on energy during my workday. This fueled my motivation to improve my fitness and body composition. My journey led me to the world of strength training, and I discovered a passion for learning and teaching proper lifting form for all barbell compound lifts. To complement my career as an occupational therapist and co-owner at Spartan Fitness of Columbia, I later became certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a personal trainer. My primary objectives are to deliver top-tier customer service to our members, provide training guidance when needed, demonstrate proper lifting techniques to prevent injury, and foster a close-knit, family-like atmosphere at SpartanFitness. When I’m not working, I cherish spending quality time with our family, cheering on our kids as they engage in sports activities, and continually expanding my knowledge in both the fitness and therapy industries. Thank you for choosing Spartan Fitness of Columbia as your fitness home. I look forward to being part of your fitness journey and helping you achieve your goals.
