As the new year approaches, countless Australians are turning their attention to health and fitness resolutions. While the intent is positive, the pressure to achieve rapid weight loss can often overshadow the journey. For a more sustainable and supportive approach in 2026, the homegrown fitness platform KIC is offering a significant discount to help Aussies build lasting habits.
A Supportive Community for Holistic Health
Founded by best friends Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith, KIC has grown into a massive community of over 2.5 million people. It serves as a comprehensive hub offering on-demand exercise classes, nutritious recipes, and guided meditations. The core philosophy moves away from fad diets, instead focusing on boosting confidence and helping users feel good throughout their fitness journey.
The app provides a vast library of resources, including more than 1,000 on-demand workouts and 20 expert-designed programs that cater to everyone from beginners to advanced athletes. This allows individuals to work towards their personal goals at a comfortable and manageable pace.
Limited-Time Offer for 2026 Memberships
To help people start the year strong, KIC has announced a special promotion. From January 1 to January 15, 2026, both new and returning members can save up to 30 per cent on their subscription. This discounted rate provides full access to the app's extensive features and its supportive community, but the offer is time-sensitive and expires on the 15th.
Five Tailored Challenges to Suit Every Goal
Central to KIC's approach for the new year are five distinct challenges, each designed to meet different wellness objectives. All challenges are accessible directly through your phone.
Awaken Energy: Ideal for lifting mood, this challenge combines hybrid workouts, Pilates, and morning breathwork sessions.
Create Calm: Aimed at reducing everyday stress, it features gentle yoga, stretching, and calming meditations.
Build Confidence: This program focuses on finding strength with training led by Danny and Steph, complemented by guided visualisations for body confidence.
Find Focus: Participants learn to move with purpose through mind-and-body Pilates and goal-setting exercises.
Reclaim Reset: Designed to kickstart the year with recovery, it offers stretch-focused Pilates, yoga flows, and soothing sleep meditations.
Building Habits Beyond the Workout
KIC has expanded its content pillars to include not just movement, but also mindset. Members can explore material specifically created to improve sleep, confidence, focus, and calm. Each pillar integrates guided movement, mindset practices, and simple daily rituals to help women, in particular, set realistic goals and establish habits that endure.
Whether your preference is Pilates, strength training, or high-intensity interval training (HIIT), the app provides structured guidance. For those with a goal to run a 5k, the app features a dedicated program where co-founder Laura Henshaw provides audio guidance. The plan involves three runs per week, with the app automatically tracking progress and adjusting the program as needed.
With gym sessions also available within the app, users have the flexibility to switch up their routine and build confidence wherever they choose to exercise. By offering an alternative to quick transformations, KIC emphasises feeling good and building positive, sustainable habits for a happier and healthier 2026.
