- Client testimonials
“Kat is a knowledgeable professional who always puts her clients needs at the forefront. Her willingness to listen and work with my body issues, continually adapting programs to achieve our outcomes is an indication of a truly 'personal' trainer.”
“After working with Kat for the past 10 months I can honestly say she has been the best trainer I have ever had the privilege to work with. Kat takes the time to truly know and understand each and every client and forms a bond of real friendship. Unlike a lot of trainers, Kat understands how older bodies do and don't move and helps ensure functional strength and movement is corrected and rebuilt overtime. I came to Kat with three bulging discs in my back and was on the verge of surgery to relieve symptoms. Through Kat's help and direction I can now lift and press heavier weights than I have for decades, as well as being aerobically fitter, and I do it safely thanks to her keen eye for technique.”
“I have been training with Katherine (Kat) for nearly 8 years and hopefully for many more. Kat is an awesome trainer (and person) and I really look forward to my twice weekly sessions – even at 5.30 am. As I am getting older, Kat is very much aware of what I want to achieve and what is suitable for my body. I have a couple of health issues which we work around and I am so grateful for her understanding and experience in getting me stronger and fitter than before. Kat pushes me hard, and I have done things which I would never have done without her, the pinnacle being successfully completing the True Grit Obstacle Course. Her new home studio is well equipped, spotlessly clean and as a bonus you get to choose your training music!”
