What My Clients Say
Antoinette facing her fears
''I have been training with Kate for more years than I care to remember! She has always been encouraging without being pushy, she has corrected many bad habits and helped me embrace the things I feared most – and without thinking about it, we end up doing far more than we expected to!
Without her, I would not have ever started jogging or running, or believed I could do many sports and exercises without risking injury. I now have the confidence to believe in myself a lot more than I ever did, and to trust my body.
I would recommend Kate for her incredible joy and enthusiasm which is infectious but also makes me want to do more… . She introduced to barefoot running in the grass and between that and tree hugging I will always find instant happiness!''

Kate has been training me for almost 15 years now! She is a gifted trainer. I especially like how she is mindful of the aging body. She has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of exercise physiology and nutrition. At the start of session she always asks if there are injuries or physical concerns she should be aware of and adapts sessions accordingly. Her workouts are designed to progress in difficulty over 4 to 6 weeks, and then change focus to concentrate on a new strength or skill. Her attention to potential injuries while building physical strength means I have never been injured in all the years I have worked with her. Her programs are fun and varied and take place in a myriad of settings. You never get bored. With her training and encouragement, I have gone from someone who wanted to get in shape to a focused and knowledgeable senior athlete. With her encouragement, I now set personal goals and challenges for myself. I am comfortable on a track, yoga mat, gym, mountainside, or road race all thanks to her. For a senior or someone advancing through middle age you could not ask for a better trainer. She’s crap at swimming though.' Mary
These ladies used me to guide & execute a 4 day hike around the Swiss Dent du Midi. They have since gone on to do many self guided trips

‘Kate inspires one to do “just one more” and expand your comfort zone. Highly recommend’. Lisa
‘I trained with Kate as half of a duet and later as one of a small group. I think I was incredibly lucky to find someone who made training outdoors great fun whilst being demanding of our individual strengths. Kate always varied what we did and set a high barrier for achievement - thanks to her I continue to train and improve!’

'Without Kate's encouragement and training I never would have felt confident enough to map out hikes on my own, now I am happy to. Before Kate I only worked out in the gym. I now enjoy exercising so much it is hard to call it “working out”. She changed my perspective. 'Jeff
'Kate has helped me, a certified workaholic who sat all day in front of a computer, to have the confidence to hike and snowshoe….two activities I enjoy still today. Kate makes fitness fun and her positive attitude and effervescent personality just add to the enjoyment. If you had asked me before I met Kate if I thought marching up a mountain would be my definition of a good time, I would have absolutely said, “NO WAY!” my husband and I now go hiking/snowshoeing every week. She showed us the way and we would happily follow her anywhere. She’s delightful and so knowledgeable as a trainer. I highly recommend her.'
