About Myka Hoffman
Creator & Founder of SKIP FIT
Hi, I’m Myka Hoffman - founder of SKIP FIT and a lifelong jump rope athlete on a mission to redefine how people move, train, and build confidence through movement.
My journey with jump rope began at seven years old and led me to compete internationally, representing Australia as a world-class jump rope athlete in my early twenties. More than a decade after stepping away from competition, I noticed something surprising - despite jump rope being one of the most powerful fitness tools available, it remained widely misunderstood in mainstream fitness.
In gyms around the world, I repeatedly saw people struggling with poorly designed ropes, incorrect sizing, and inefficient technique. The result was frustration, injury risk, and the belief that skipping was simply “too hard.”
When I began sharing small technical adjustments and professional-grade equipment, the transformation was immediate — confidence grew, skills improved, and movement became fun again.
After a successful 10-year career in Public Relations and Communications, I chose to follow a deeper passion: helping people reconnect with movement in a way that feels energising, empowering, and sustainable.
I became a qualified group fitness instructor and created the original SKIP FIT class — a dynamic 45-minute jump rope workout blending athletic skill, conditioning, rhythm, and mindset. What began as local classes quickly expanded across leading fitness studios in Sydney, attracting everyone from beginners to professional athletes.
Following four years living and working in Los Angeles, I returned home to Australia and am now based on the Gold Coast with my three young boys.
Today, SKIP FIT has evolved into a global movement platform featuring premium jump ropes, structured online programs, coaching experiences, and upcoming instructor certifications - all designed to help people of every fitness level discover strength, confidence, and flow through skipping.
Welcome to #TeamSkipFit — where confidence is earned, movement is mastered, and fitness finally feels fun.
