About Caitlin

Hi! I'm Caitlin, a certified personal trainer passionate about helping beginners and busy professionals unlock their strength and confidence. I specialize in creating customized fitness programs that meet you where you are—whether you're starting from scratch, returning to exercise after a break, or aiming to level up your workouts. My experience in fitness and nutrition helps me guide my clients in a way that fits their individual lifestyles, creating a balanced and sustainable approach to health and fitness.


I’ve been where you are—starting out with no knowledge of fitness, and I understand how intimidating it can be. That’s why I make it my mission to create a judgment-free environment where every client feels supported, challenged, and empowered to succeed.


My favorite client story

I had a client named Maria who was working on changing some dietary choices. One day, she asks me which would be the better choice, beer or tequila. We did some research together and found the macronutrients for the brands she enjoyed. While emphasizing moderation and mindful consumption, Maria chose to only consume Tequila on occasion. This reduction in beer intake greatly improved her weight loss results while still allowing her to enjoy alcohol once in a while.

My favorite exercise

Squats are my favorite exercise because there are many varieties that can target all sections of your thighs and glutes, and it can be modified for any skill level or physical ability.

My training philosophy

Fitness is about more than just physical strength—it’s about developing mental and emotional resilience to help you thrive in all areas of life. I believe in a holistic approach that goes beyond just weight loss or appearance. While strength and fitness are important, I focus on creating sustainable habits, improving mental clarity, and celebrating progress beyond the scale.

Every client is different, so I take the time to build a plan that fits your specific needs, whether you're working on functional strength, improving movement patterns, or mastering a specific fitness goal. My programs are designed to be flexible, progressive, and rooted in consistency, so you see real, lasting results without burnout or extreme dieting.

I also understand that progress looks different for everyone, which is why I emphasize tracking non-scale victories like increased energy, better mobility, and confidence—because every step forward counts.

My training experience

I have trained in a national chain gym for 3 years, working with adults between 25 and 85 with goals such as weight loss, muscle building and functional, daily movement.

I have worked with seniors in weight loss, weight management, and mobility improvement based on their current health and range of motion.

I also practice and coach parkour for kids and adults, which influences workouts and programs for bodyweight exercises and unique movement patterns, even for clients who are not interested in parkour as a discipline.

Caitlin is a fantastic trainer. She sets reasonable goals for weight loss and muscle gain. She even provided me with a nutritional guide to help meet my goals. She's personable and nice but still pushes me to do better every day! She is diligent about tracking how much weight I use on each exercise to make sure that I'm making meaningful progress.
