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.

Telling you what to do is the easy part, but telling you why to do it is the fun part.

Welcome to my journey

It wasn't always easy

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.

Katy, behind the scenes

What am I doing when I'm not creating workouts and content for you? I'm probably in the gym, working on my own gainz.

I'm mostly a homebody and you can find me on a Friday night at home, gaming with my husband and son, or cooking up a big meal from scratch.

A few years ago I started going to painting classes at Canvas and Cocktails (shameless plug for them), and found this AMAZING group of women who have become my tribe. While I don't drink anymore, I do paint still - it's one of my favorite hobbies - and I still hang with my painting ladies as often as possible.
