here are just a few of the clients happy with their results after online and face to face coaching...
RAE
“So, after a bad year for everyone, plus a few personal issues (and a lot of physical exercises!) I realised I couldn’t continue the way that I was. I had been a very strict Vegan for 2 years and realised any body fat that I once had had just disappeared. I started to feel tired, never really full after eating and everything became a bit of a struggle. Plus the world's worse year in history to add to all this.
I was also tired of seeing nutritionist posts about how you should eat all these 'easy to prepare' healthy meals. How you should be eating all these good fats, Should be doing 'this and that' whilst they seem to have endless amounts of money and endless amounts of time. It was just unattainable and bothersome!
I am the world's laziest cook (if cooking just for me) and a fairly busy and active single Mum. I slowly began to realise not only am I feeling tired I look tired and more underweight than ever before. Not a great feeling. I've always been on the ‘skinny’ side (a word I hate) and find it really hard to gain weight. So enter Kate...
I was looking for someone to get results in gaining weight and if possible give some confidence back. But more importantly to ‘KEEP IT REAL' a seemingly impossible task, or so I thought.
From the start, she gave me so much positive motivation I felt inspired and wanted to give everything she suggested a go.
It took a few weeks to get into a routine, I had to be organised and trust in the process. I remember the first time I realised I was on the right track was when I measured and weighed myself and realise I had massively gained weight. A few positive comments from friends who hadn’t seen me in weeks helped me realise ‘this is working’. My confidence got back to how it always used to be and my clothes fitted better and weren't hanging off my hips.
I now have a routine that's achievable and not time-consuming. I feel confident, happier, and healthier. I still can’t quite believe it worked!
I couldn’t recommend anyone more.”

“Kate is an excellent trainer and nutritionist. I came to her, having a few years of consistent training under my belt however from taught classes 3 times a week. When COVID hit I was worried about keeping up my routine and how to manage on my own. I also wanted to lose some weight in order to improve my fitness and training. Over my time with Kate I lost 7kg, which was great and guess what, I’ve managed to keep it off for the last 6 months even when I stopped my work with her!
However, this was not the be all or end all – what Kate gave me was the knowledge and understanding that enabled me to make choices and create plans that work specifically for me and my schedule, without significant restriction and ones I really enjoy.
I was so impressed my Kate’s manner and motivation, remaining focused and supportive to keep me accountable and help me achieve my goals. Kate is particularly therapeutic in her approach, clearly cares about her clients and is invested in their journeys. This style of coaching helped me to change my mindset to my training and nutrition and get the results I was looking for.”

“I was referred to Kate by a friend who was both happy and impressed with the service. At the time I was very focused on exercise and my eating habits were not where I wanted them to be. I wanted someone to be accountable to, and also to guide me towards healthier ways of managing food. Through the initial assessment and daily check-in calls, I became more aware of my food choices and gradually made choices that I was more proud of. I felt more aware and in control of my food, rather than feeling like food was controlling me – and this is exactly what I wanted!”

“I had been trying to gain muscle with regular weight training but very slow progress. It resulted in some muscle gain but intense sessions, cardio 3 times a week and little to no carbohydrates in my diet resulted in weight loss. I was literally achieving the opposite and gaining absolutely no strength. I had plateaued in that respect.⠀⠀⠀
I had managed to make more progress in 1 month with Kate's knowledge and expertise in this field than I had done going it alone for the last year.
Kate doesn't just tell you what to do and expect you to get on with it, she breaks down each element of your coaching and explains why you are doing it. This gives the depth of understanding required to make a real difference to how I performed my exercises and the nutritional choices I made in order to gain the results I needed.
On a few occasions I fell back into old eating habits and Kate was easily able to remind me why it was important for my goals to stay on course.
With online Form checking, ensuring I was able to get the absolute most out of every exercise and that my form was conducive to growth in the area that I wanted and not injury in another.
Kate is, unlike other PTs, extremely realistic in what she expects of a client. She provided reasonable program and was never pushy or angry if I accidentally strayed from that or couldn't perform a work out one day for whatever reason. This lead to a more honest relationship. I never felt I had to cover up a mistake that I had made.
I would absolutely recommend Kate as a PT, her breadth of knowledge within the fitness and nutrition industry has been such a valuable source to tap into. Even for those who think they know what to do and how to do it (as I did) will learn a lot. I feel much more capable of managing my nutrition and training to achieve my goals now than I did 6 months ago. Thank you! I've gained so much in such a short period of time!”

"Kate has been invaluable to helping me get control of my health. Coming from a very demanding work and personal life, Kate has been patient and educated me about food and about what it means to be healthy; she really helped me understand balance and help me accountable for choices I made. This is what has helped me succeed and carry on a healthier life. My training with Kate exceeded my expectations compared to previous lifestyle/fitness coaches who were only interested in extreme results and life style changes. Her approach is realistic, personable and challenging, and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a positive impact and for taking control of their health."

“I have worked with Kate over 9 months and she is the most effective personal trainer I ever had: With a demanding career in management consulting, I went down about 2 dress sizes from a 10kg weight loss, got re-energised for my work and finally found that perfect work-life balance! Kate’s tailored training approach is not only super fun and variable to your individual ability but she gets amazing results on strength and posture to have you in great shape fast: Her support went far beyond our gym sessions once a week – she provided exercises for my travel routine, great nutrition advice to keep me on track and always cheered me up to get through those stressful days.
Kate is more than a personal trainer – she is a life coach and true friend by your side every step of your way!
Thank you, Kate!”

“Since training with Kate she has inspired me to have the confidence to train in the gym on my own. I don’t usually go to the gym on my own but I now feel I can because of Kate’s inspiration, motivation & fun sessions. Kate has been such a big part of my progression by making me want to be stronger and healthier. So thank you for that - it feels great!”
