Kwon has been involved in the fitness industry for 17 years. He began in 1986 volunteering as a fitness club instructor, then moved into club management and eventually owned and operated his very own fitness club. The club was a success and earned great profits, however, Kwon was eager to learn more about human body movement and sports medicine to provide better training instruction.

His thirst for knowledge in this field brought to Canada where he studied at the University College of Cape Breton in Nova Scotia earning a Bachelor of Arts in Community Studies Sports Option, where he learned about the relationship between community and sports. He rounded his education with practical experience at the Max Bell Clinic Centre, a physiotherapy clinic, volunteering as a trainer. At the same time, he worked at the Cape Breton Wellness Centre supervising and training university staff and students.
