Fitting by Katie

Katie is the most skilled and most caring trainer you could ever hope to find. She makes everyone look their absolute best, but more than that, she makes it fun and always explains things clearly and with confidence. When I was going through some health issues, she sent me easy workouts I could follow using my phone. I felt so strong and powerful. I even took my 12 year old son to Katie, because I wouldn’t trust anyone else to create good form and good habits so that he will fall in love with working out. So far, he loves his first couple weeks of weight training. She took the time to do research and tailor his regimen to him specifically, because he plays baseball and wants to gain arm strength and speed. I can’t recommend her highly enough! It will change your body and your life and leave you feeling happier and more powerful! More...

Katie was my trainer for over 2 years, during which time I met my all fitness goals (weight loss, toning, overall learning about health, nutrition, & fitness)! She was a great place to start since I had zero experience in correct diet or exercise so she introduced me to several different tools (my fitness pal, Bodpod, body measurements) to track goals and progress. She also personally tailored all of my workouts to what I needed & kept them fun and interesting enough to keep me invested in those first few months while I was building the habit of working out at all. After my initial goals were met we moved into a “maintenance” phase with 3 workouts per week & working out became something I looked forward to every week. She encouraged me to expand into incorporating fitness into my overall life in a healthy way - under her training I signed up for my first half marathon and attended several amazing fitness retreats! Fitness aside she’s also a great person so all those hours of training flew by while we chatted about everything & became quite close. Anyone who has the pleasure of training with Katie will not regret it! More...

I can say without reservation that investing in Katie’s services for personal training and weight loss was one of the best decisions I ever made. I came across her while searching for a personal trainer. After reading about Katie and meeting with her in person, I quickly realized she had a passion not only for wanting to help people with their fitness goals, but also for providing them with the tools necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle even after she was no longer working with them. With Katie’s guidance I was able to lose weight, learn about nutrition, and how to maintain a strong and healthy body. Katie really does go above and beyond to do whatever she can to help her clients realize their goals and full potential. Her workouts are challenging and done in a fun atmosphere. Katie, is always there with words of encouragement to help you get the most out of every session. Katie takes the time to listen and meets you where you are at. She has empathy and understanding for her clients. The best advice I could offer to anyone who trains with Katie is simple: Listen to what she has to say! She has an incredible foundation of knowledge, really cares and really wants her clients to succeed. More...

Katie is an excellent trainer. She observes, listens, and curtails the program to your needs. She is knowledgeable, resourceful, and more than that she is just hilarious. Katie truly cares for your physical and emotional well being. A trainer of her caliber is rare. More...

Katie is one of the most knowledgeable trainers I have ever worked with when it comes to the whole package. She is very versatile in her approach on being stronger - physically and mentally. I have lost over 30lbs and in the best shape of my life due to her program. With todays yo-yo diets and influencers, it can become overwhelming in the trainer world on who to follow for advice. Katie is honest, sets expectations and has pulled me out of my own head on my journey to losing weight. I have had the pleasure of having her in person and virtually. I have kept the weight off and opened up my health journey even further. The most important part of her program is feeling good within your own skin. I highly recommend Katie as a trainer. More...

Katie is a knowledgeable, responsible, and conscientious personal trainer. She tailors her plan to her clients’ individual needs, and is skilled at carefully considering injuries/soreness, while still achieving a challenging work out. She’s intuitive to the needs of the individual with whom she works, and is insightful and caring. Since working with her, I have lost weight, built strength and endurance, and feel better overall. She supports nutritional goals and guides you towards a healthier you in a sensible and realistic way. Lastly, she is positive and energetic and brings great energy to every session! More...

Katie is absolutely amazing! I’m very new to the fitness world and wasn’t super confident in my ability to gauge strength or endurance. I have a few hindering medical issues and Katie was able to help me navigate both a healthier diet and an exercise schedule that worked specifically for me. She’s patient, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond for a personal and professional approach- Katie is definitely the go to. More...

Katie consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to help me achieve my goals. Katie was punctual, responsive to all of my questions and concerns, and helped me with accountability. I highly recommend Katie for her approach to any assignment with diligence and dedication. More...

Katie has provided me with a system and routine that works very well for me, and the push I get from the workout plans she's given me have been instrumental in the process of getting healthier. In the first 3 weeks that I've been working with her, I lost two inches off my waist, and I'm feeling better about myself than I have in years. More...

I’m so happy that the programming has worked so well for you. I hope you’re feeling yourself soon. Covid is such a drag. Thanks for your kind words. Can’t believe I missed all of these reviews until tonight! Time to slow down. 🙃

I've been working with Katie for over a year now. From the very beginning, she has always been extremely invested in my overall health. I was diagnosed with breast cancer about 9 months before I began working with Katie. She helped me recover from treatment and regain strength and flexibility following surgery. Katie not only works to make me physically stronger, but helps me find ways to reduce stress and improve my nutrition so I can continue recovering and living my best life. She wants me to be healthy in every way I can be, and she works tirelessly to help me reach my goals. Katie is THE best!! More...

Sam, Sweet Sam. Thank you so much for always giving me the most lovely feedbacks & compliments. Finally meeting you at Kure beach last summer was one of the better days of my life. Can’t wait to get back to it next week! That last surgery wasn’t ideal, but you’re cleared, so let’s get those limbs movin’! Big plans for this year!!!! 😍

Words cannot describe the impact Katie has made on my life, but I will attempt. Katie is not *just* a personal trainer, she's a column of support in creating healthy, sustainable, and lifetime habits.

During training, you will work your body and your mind in a very joyful way. Katie shows genuine interest in getting to know you alongside knowing your body, which for someone who has struggled with others having so much say on my body, it is refreshing. She so deeply understands that your mental and emotional state affects how you work your body, perceive your body, and engage in the world. She enforces a safe space to speak openly about your struggles in all aspects of creating healthy habits, and she gently guides you the scientifically proven ways. There is no rush, there is no pressure, simply a focus on excellence and diligence.

When I told Katie that I felt my heavy body was unhealthy, she sent me articles with studies that show movement, not weight, is the largest factor to health. When I told Katie I struggled with binging and hiding food, she said to research depravity mentality. When I told her I don't want to walk, she said just walk up the driveway and back. When I told her when I went on the treadmill I could not stop staring at the calorie counter and it was stressful, she said to walk outside or cover the calories with a towel AND she went into how calorie counters on highly inaccurate on machines. When I told her I gained 10 lbs, she said the body fluctuates up to 7-10lb a day in weight due to water weight.

When I told her I could feel my gains and was feeling my body whenever I was walking and it felt amazing, she smiled so wide and said "this is why we work towards this"

As someone who has struggled with weight fluctuations, self-flagellation, body shaming, and keeping a routine, Katie has been pivotal in battling that mountain for me.

If you decide to work with Katie, bring your authentic self, be open about your struggles, be diligent and she will do the same to you. Katie is a wonderful person outside of being a trainer, but she is also a brilliant trainer. More...

What a love letter. You know how I enjoy our sessions. You have come such a long way both in your journey with ED and body dysmorphia, but after your lung surgery. You’ve been so courageous in facing the challenges with a body that has thrown you some curve balls. I think that like me, you’ll look back at your younger years and say that you’re happier to have suffered so in the beginning because that’s what levels you up of you have intent. Can’t wait to see what you do to this world. Now go meditate and rest. You’ve gotta walk in the a.m. ;) ❤️ Ka ka ka Katie 🥰

I have been training with Katie for years, and having regular sessions with her has been a lifesaver for me, especially during the pandemic. Her ability to customize programs to meet individual needs and constraints— from fitness level to emotional readiness to time availability— is unparalleled. I have referred many of my closest family and friends to Katie over the years I’ve worked with her, and would recommend her to anyone looking to incorporate fitness and wellness into their life in an accessible, sustainable way. More...

Katie is a gem. If you’re looking for a highly personal partner to help you achieve your goals, look no further. She takes the time to understand you as a person, build a customized plan to set you up for success, and helps you stay accountable to achieving your goals.

She is knowledgeable and very easy to work with.

Thank you, Annie! I’m looking forward to our session next week! See you soon.:)

Katie is a fantastic trainer with a great sense of humor. Every session is filled with laughter and positivity. Please don’t mistake this by thinking you are at a comedy club, Katie knows how to empower you to achieve your toughest goals with positive encouragement.

Katie is extremely professional and will definitely help you reach your fitness goals. She has degree in Kinesiology and is certified by the ACSM. Under her guidance, whether it be virtual or in-person, I was in the best shape I had ever been in. I am blessed to have been trained by Katie!

So with all that said, I have done your homework and have given you my honest and humble opinion. I would highly recommend her. She is one of the most kind, knowledgeable, and compassionate people I know. No need to look any further, she is the best! More...

Thanks for all the kind words, Sherri! We may burn an equal number of calories laughing. 😂 I'm grinning just thinking about all of the breathless moments. I think at one point we were both literally rolling on the ground. Amazing.

Katie is very supportive of all aspects of life that relate to well being. She is patient, kind and consistently challenges me to be the healthiest version of myself that I can be. I am very grateful for our twice weekly sessions, especially during a pandemic. More...

Thank you, Rachel! I've really enjoyed working with you and I'm excited to tackle the new goals that we discussed in session. :) See you on Monday!

Katie is the best! She works me hard but always makes sure I have fun. She’s sensitive to when I’m having a lower-energy day, but still keeps me on track. I look forward to working out with her every week! You can’t go wrong with Katie. More...

Katie is wonderful! She provides me daily workouts to do online in between our face to face sessions, and she personalizes my program to meet my needs with consideration of my individual situation(age, health, workout space, workout equipment, etc). It’s a very holistic approach, which I love!
I strongly recommend working with Katie. More...

I have been working with Katie in person and remote since 2017. Working with her I’ve transformed my fitness, understood my nutrition in brand new ways, and achieved goals I didn’t even know I would have. Fitness is about a mindset and pushing oneself but it’s also about intrinsic motivations. Katie has helped me set those motivations, goals and keep pushing. Not to mention we did this without fancy equipment, special gyms or fad diets. I currently work out with Katie remotely in a guest bedroom with a space the size of my yoga mat. In quarantine, with her support, I have found myself the strongest I’ve ever been in my life. So grateful. More...

Katie has been great to work with! She has been able to tailor my workouts to make sure they are within my limits, while still helping me achieve my goals.

I am so grateful to know and work with Katie! She is not only professional and extremely knowledgeable, but sessions with her feel like catching up with a longtime friend. Personal training with Katie is a concrete way to keep myself accountable, push myself, and prioritize myself. Can't recommend highly enough. More...

I worked with Katie for about a year and it was exactly what I needed. She takes a holistic approach to fitness both mind and body so you’re not just getting a trainer you are getting a life coach too. She seamlessly combines all of it during the workout session, making it a great experience. Wholeheartedly recommend her! More...

Working with Katie was by far the best investment I’ve ever made in my health, mentally and physically (which is not a review I give lightly). I’m based in NYC now, and still wouldn’t want to work with anyone else— Katie has trained me through all different stages of my fitness, and has met me where i am in all seasons of my life. She’s absolutely great for big race training, general fitness, strength, maintenance, or other goals. Katie makes fitness and wellness approachable enough for anyone to get into, but is also a very serious trainer, if you want someone to really push you and get you into great shape (seriously, even virtually, she can still kick your ass). More...

Katie keeps me accountable, which was the main reason I decided to find a personal trainer. She works with me where I am at right nowt, while also pushing me towards my goal. Katie is responsive to my questions and concerns. She really cares. She is great! More...

Katie makes you feel comfortable about this new chapter or journey that one is getting ready to take on! Katie made me feel as if we known each other for years. She is giving me a realistic plan to help me with my goals that will be life changing! More...

Katie is very knowledgeable and professional. She customized my workouts to fit my individual needs and goals. Highly recommended!

Katie is my all time favorite trainer AND person! I’ve been athletic for most of my early life and needed a program tailored to many specific needs, in which Katie was able to work with and provide . She makes working out fun again !
