Hi, I'm so glad you're here!

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

-Howard Thurman

I have this passion about being in the gym, I've seen how it has changed my own life in many ways and I want to help inspire change in yours too. The gym is where I found myself again, it's a place I feel like I belong, it's one of the greatest forms of self-care I have.

I became a certified personal trainer so I can help you better understand and fall in love with the journey that is "fitness".

Working out is hard, I can help.

I bring over a decade of experience and I'm excited to share with you what I'm learning. By actively listening to and collaborating with you, I will inspire positive change towards a healthier lifestyle that is achievable and sustainable.

I want to help you overcome whatever obstacles are currently keeping you from living your best damn life.

Welcome to my journey

I was always active as a kid - school sports, martial arts, rollerblading and riding bikes - but I ended up having a love/hate relationship with exercise as a young adult. A few months after giving birth to my son, I decided to try lifting weights at a gym, but it was incredibly intimidating and I felt anxious as soon as I stepped foot inside.

With the help of a trainer, I not only gained confidence and felt like I had found a place where I belonged, but I learned enough to keep going back on my own.

When I sat down to create my brand, all I kept thinking was, "I wish I'd had a friend to go to the gym and help me not feel so awkward and nervous when I began." And that's the thought behind my name. I literally want to be your (very knowledgeable and qualified) friend who helps you figure this stuff out.

Over the years, I've had my fair share of set-backs, come-backs, failures, and victories. I've had health issues, major surgeries, and injuries. Being able to pull from all of my experiences to connect with others on a more meaningful level is truly something I don't take for granted.

Whatever it is you're going through, I promise to meet you where you're at with compassion and empathy.

Katy, behind the scenes

What am I doing when I'm not creating workouts and content for you? I am currently the office manager at a busy medical office in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. I get to work alongside chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, pain management specialists, and even behavioral health counselors. It's a fantastic team that I'm honored to be part of!

Outside of work, I'm mostly a homebody. I play video games with my son, have a growing collection of greenery in my home, and I've been known to paint a landscape or two. In the warmer months you can sometimes find me out camping or fishing on the weekends. And you can bet that I'm cooking something delicious from scratch on any given night!
