About Catherine
Hi, and thank you for taking to time to check out my profile! I have been a CPT for 14 years, and have experience on all sides of fitness, from training to group ex instruction to management. My journey in fitness has been amazing. I myself am not "physically gifted" - so to stay in shape, I work at it just as my clients do. So I understand the dedication and work that it takes to accomplish fitness goals. I believe in a progressive approach - we begin with a thorough assessment and movement/postural screen. We discuss your goals, habits, and current regimen. From there, we plan a program that works for you - in terms of frequency, efficiency, and applicable behavior modification. I believe that we train for health first, aesthetics will always follow. It's important for you, the client, to feel comfortable with your program, and maybe even have some fun with it. Most importantly, you need to see results. We continue to assess every 6 - 8 weeks until we achieve your goals, and afterward for maintaining them. Workouts are centered around healthy progressions, consistent scheduling, and moving beyond your comfort zone. I look forward to hearing from you!
My favorite client story
I've been in this business a long time, so choosing one favorite client story would be tough. What I will say is that I have been fortunate to have built such solid relationships with my clients. I've attended their weddings, witnessed the births of their children, seen them go from frail to strong, and watched them accomplish feats they never thought they would.
My favorite exercise
One of my favorite exercises would have to be the inchworm. Combining core work with strength, it touches on so many major muscle groups.
My favorite quote
Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics. ~Albert Einstein
My training philosophy
Train for health, the asthetics will follow.
