THE ‘WHY' BEHIND BUSINESS with Aaron SmithIf there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “I believe business is the number one way people can do good / impact positive change in society today. The one question I wish society would talk more about is the WHY behind why people start businesses. With Tall Poppy Syndrome rampant in this country, I feel the assumption is for profit, but I would say 9/10 times an entrepreneur has a stronger purpose behind their WHY, and profit is a secondary outcome.”_____________Founder of KX Pilates, Aaron Smith is an award-winning fitness innovator, entrepreneur and author of DEFINE YOURSELF: When Passion, Purpose and Business Collide. Based on the Japanese philosophy of kaizen (continuous improvement), KX Pilates is a dynamic workout that has transformed both fitness participants and the business at large. Smith founded KX Pilates in February 2010 and has since built it into Australia's largest pilates franchise with over 110+ studios across Australia, Indonesia, China, Singapore, Taiwan and New Zealand.Kaizen drives Smith physically and mentally and imbues everything he does, from the way he sharpens his business skills to the lessons he has applied to his life thus far. He lives and acts by the principle of creating a culture of empowerment for franchise partners so that everyone in the KX Pilates rises with the brand's success. Put simply, KX exists to change lives for the better.As the founder of KX Pilates, Aaron has earnt multiple awards and recognition including 2021 Melbourne Young Fitness Entrepreneur, being recognised as an influential Victorian to watch by the Herald Sun in 2020, Australian Young Fitness Entrepreneur of the Year in 2019, was named in the top 3 of Australia's Top 30 Franchise Executives (2020), and featured in the 2019 Top 10 Dynamic Entrepreneurs by Dynamic Business Magazine.In November 2018 Aaron stepped down as CEO to focus on innovation and international expansion and I was eager to dig deeper into his story and find out what drives a guy like this who has created a very successful business network. For more information about Aaron, check out these places;-Instagram: @ajs_kxLinkedin: Aaron Smith*****Head to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com

We've often talked about the influence of dance in Pilates, but the influence of bodybuilding is also important - in fact, it's so pervasive it's invisible. Many of the things we take for granted in Pilates in fact are just bodybuilding conventions, not facts of exercise science, and they certainly weren't part of Joseph Pilates' original vision. Things like: Isolating muscles Thinking about aesthetics as the primary goal of exercise Working to fatigue and seeking the burn Overcomplicating our programming Are all bodybuilding practices, not laws of physics.

Aaron Smith is the founder and innovator behind KX Pilates, Australia's largest pilates franchise, which features over 75 studios across the country and international expansion plans on the horizon. But for Aaron, running a successful franchise empire was never about the money. Even at the start. Aaron first experienced reformer pilates while working as a personal trainer in London. He fell in love with it immediately. It wasn't like anything he'd ever done, and right away he could see that an Australian audience would love it too. Aaron started his business out of passion. It was about helping people. He wanted to provide others with a unique experience that he loved, so they could love it the way he did. And he wanted to reach as many people as he could. It's an ethos that stemmed from how he was brought up. Aaron was taught that in loving what you do, and helping people, success will come from it—whatever that success looks like for you. “As they say, where focus goes, energy flows—and the focus was always on pilates,” says Aaron. It was this love, this single-minded focus, that delivered the effective and sustainable business model that KX Pilates has built today. Together with his wife, Andi, they've shared this focus to create an empire, that's only going to continue growing—whether Aaron is at the helm or not. And, more than helping people enjoy how they move their bodies, creating a successful franchise has been a vehicle to help others build their business dreams, too. Not to say that it's been easy; as all business owners can attest to, creating your own business—no matter how large it grows—is also an avenue you spend most of your life sweating over, working towards, and dedicating your time and energy into, day in, day out. And the hard work, dedication, and all-or-nothing attitude has paid off. A 10-year overnight success story, Aaron likes to call it. But the most gratifying thing for Aaron, the belief that centres him, has always been that he gets to share his love with more people. In his passion, he found his success, defined by values that were never about the dollar sign attached to them. He focussed his single-minded energy into growing a business that's set to succeed, whether he's there or not. Ultimately though, he's helping people achieve their dreams, and sharing his passion at the same time. And to Aaron, that's success.
