KAYLINN ROOTMAN

Trainer Supervisor

I was born in South Africa and moved here in 2010 with my family. I have always been the kind of person who loves to stay active, try new things and push my own limits. Growing up, sport was a huge part of my life and being involved in different activities shaped the way I see myself today. I’ve always enjoyed challenging my body, testing my mindset and finding that balance between fun and discipline.

I began my Muay Thai journey in 2023 and it has genuinely changed my life. What started as curiosity quickly became something I fell in love with. Muay Thai has given me structure, purpose and something to constantly work and grow with. It’s helped me build confidence, form real friendships and find a strong community that feels like home. Especially with my family being so far away, overseas, having something so close at Southside makes it even more special. Even though I haven’t fought yet, I’m actively training toward stepping into the ring and showing myself what I’m capable of. Ultimately it is the commitment to the journey and progress that will determine the destination.

My personal motto is simple:

Act like the person you want to become. Life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself <3

Training motto:

YOU are the greatest project you’ll ever work on so push yourself, because no one else can do it for you.

That mindset shows up in everything I do training, coaching and how I show up for others. My goal as a coach is to help people grow, feel supported and realise they can achieve anything they set their mind to. I want members to feel like they belong, like they’re part of something meaningful and like they’re capable of more than they ever expected.

Outside of Muay Thai, I’m a big matcha girl and love spending my downtime in the gym, playing netball, listening to music, enjoying the beach, or taking a good nap. I’m currently Level 5 at SSMT and continuing to work hard on my own development, both as an athlete and a coach.

I hope to bring encouragement, energy and genuine connection to every session. Whether you’re starting out or pushing toward your next goal, I’m here to support you every step of the way and hopefully help you fall in love with this sport just like I did.
