Katie’s love of all things fitness started from a very young age, as her biggest inspiration to explore the world of fitness came from her mother. At nearly 60 years old, Katie’s mother remains one of the fittest individuals she knows and this continues to inspire Katie to push herself. Throughout her life, Katie has channeled her passion for exercise into various sports; in high school she ran track and played field hockey. She continued her field hockey career in college where she played four years at the varsity level. Katie feels her biggest accomplishment in her fitness career was her performance at the Alexandria Running Festival Half-Marathon where she placed second in a pool of over 500 women.

In her post-collegiate years, Katie continues to play field hockey in local leagues and is always looking to challenge herself with new and fun workouts. Not only does she love the way a good workout makes her feel physically, but she also enjoys the mental boost she gets from exercising alongside like-minded and motivated individuals.
