BIO

In early 1997, Ksenija decided she was tired of the typical gym scene. She wanted something edgy and exciting. She was also engaged to be married and like most women, wanted to shed a few pounds before the big day.
Ksenija came across the unconventional! Apprehensive at first and definitely skeptical, she mustered up the nerves to climb the set of stairs that stood before her. To her bewilderment, this was a boxing gym that actually catered to women. She took a good look around and easily fit in. She was amazed by the environment: simply put, it was CAPTIVATING! It didn't take long for her to realize she wanted to be a part of this, and in a few short moments she was... Weeks turned into months, months turned into years and she's still hooked on boxing and fitness. Hard to believe, even for herself, that here she is today, starting her own phenomenon! Prior to her development as a certified coach and boxing instructor, her goals were focused on policing. With her own life experiences behind her, Ksenija is able to offer programs as diverse as Bridal Boot Camp and Law Enforcement Training.
Ksenija had been a member of a local based Toronto Boxing Gym facility since 1997 and taught instructional boxing techniques and fitness boxing since 2000. Her involvement in helping students and clients meet their fitness goals is unparalleled. The dedication and commitment she exhibits is truly one of a kind. Sadly for all of the Toronto based devotees she left to open her own boxing studio in Woodbridge. When she made her announcement about starting KJD Boxing & Fitness, people were extremely excited and convinced her new gym will ROCK! There were also those who were lost with words, finding out their most inspirational instructor is leaving them.  To fully realize her passion, Ksenija also left a lucrative career downtown. She is that dedicated. Committed to get you results, she's in your face. She did it for herself, and now she is devoted to helping others meet their fitness goals. She will not fool around with you. Her sessions are fun, inspiring and you get results. The studio is pleasurable, full of light, great equipment and very clean. Ksenija has also achieved and surpassed many personal and professional goals. A woman who is beautiful and radiates body confidence, Ksenija was featured in the June 2005 issue of Canadian Living magazine. Along with personal triumphs, Ksenija also set a goal to run a marathon. One she can check off her list is the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon-September 25, 2005. She completed the half marathon, a 21km route in 2 hours and 21 minutes. In her own words she says "it was very emotional for me once I crossed the finish line. But an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. I did it! I actually did it!" Ksenija has tremendous enthusiasm and is incredibly devoted to helping people - something you just need to experience. You really need to expose yourself to Ksenija. She is one of kind and truly an inspiring and motivating fitness mentor to us all!
