Katy grew up as a classically trained ballerina and competitive gymnast, so "conditioning" (exercising) to stay strong and healthy was something she began at a young age. In college, she developed a love for group fitness instruction and endurance running. She holds two PhD's from Purdue University, one in Exercise Science and one in Nutrition. She has lived in Old Town Alexandria for over 10 years and enjoys working with clients of all ages and fitness levels. Her training motto is: yes, you can. When she is not training, she enjoys wine tasting and running outdoors with her husband.
