My clients have been a great asset to my training lifestyle. Many have become good friends. They each have added unique elements to my "wellness" learning curve. Although I have had many many years under my belt of training MY body, and had studied under the IHSA educational programs, these absolutely did not prepare me for the true reality of how to train others. Each individual has a unique set of needs and issues, and it was a challenge for me to engage with those differences, and create a training pattern that would fit the abilities and desires of my clients. I have now reached a level of comfort, confident that my training can make a difference in someones life. I wanted to dedicate this portion of my Fitness page to a few of my past and present clients. I've asked several to share a few words about the experiences of training with me. These are all special people, who have helped me tremendously in MY ability to teach as well as learn! |

Katie has provided me with the knowledge and resources on how to take better care of myself. When I met Katie, I was struggling with my weight and didn't know why. Katie helped me get to the bottom of why I was not losing. She went the extra mile of putting me into contact with others who would be able to assist in my situation. Katie was always there to give me encouragement or point me in the right direction if another obstacle came up. Each time I trained with Katie, I was feeling more confident that I had the perfect trainer for my individual needs. She knew my limits and when she could push me even though I didn't think I could do any more. She picked up on my determination and never let me forget my goal in every training session we had. She has supported me through not only physical appearance, but my emotional change as well. Katie has give my life back to me more ways than I can say. Cheryl M, Fountain Hills, AZ |

Over a year ago, I came to a point where I knew I needed to incorporate some form of exercise into my life. I was over 40 and had read a lot about the importance of weight training to maintain muscle mass. Plus, I wanted to find a way to feel good and look good in the years to come. The fitness center I belonged to set me up with Katie and it has been a great journey since then. Not only does Katie keep me on track with regular workouts, but she inspires me to be healthful in all areas of my life. We are constantly discussing and bouncing ideas off each other pertaining to diet, supplements, and women's issues to ultimately improve our health and wellbeing. I believe that most of us desire balanced lives and Katie is truly helping me to achieve this and meet my life goals. Dee A., Scottsdale, AZ |

| I’ve been training with Katie for about two years. What I’ve really come to appreciate in my time spent with Katie is that getting healthy is as much about what happens outside of the gym as well as in the gym. Katie enforces accountability – that I have to be accountable for eating healthy, keeping up my workout schedule when I’m traveling, getting the sleep I need and most importantly listening to my body. Katie’s workouts are challenging, especially because she focuses on those areas where I need the most work – areas I would typically skip if I were training on my own. Before training with Katie, my focus was on building muscle – now it’s about a holistic healthy lifestyle. Maria C., Scottsdale, AZ |

I actually met Katie shortly after she moved to Arizona. I was driving down a service road, which passed by her condominium, and she was outside walking her dog. Her athleticism is what caught my eye, so I decided to stop and introduce myself. It became a goal of mine at that point to eventually seek out Katie's expertise and guidance in my training program. Nearly 2.5 years later, I finally did it. I have been training with her for approximately 3 months. She has brought a level of accountibility to my entire lifestyle. She brings extensive knowledge and experience to each workout session. The fact that Katie actually walks the walk was a huge factor in my decision to hire her. Her lifestyle exemplifies true fitness. And finally, she has made it very convenient for me, since she trains me in my own home. I have my own gym, and because she provides this convenience, it keeps me very committed to the program.
