Guillermo Gets Deadlift PR!

by Leave a Comment

You might remember a client spotlight of Guillermo, an online training client of mine. Guillermo is a fantastic client; he is a great person, super interesting, and hard working. He was one of my earliest fully online personal training clients, and he knocked it out of the park. Here’s a quick update on his progress.

Guillermo set a goal, put in the work, the rest, and kept at it patiently. It paid off when he reached his personal record.

Nadia Completes the Hotter’N Hell Hundred

by Leave a Comment

I am so proud of my client Nadia, and I have to share her story of the lead up to the Hotter’N Hell Hundred. Nadia is a very multi-faceted person and she is deeply interested in many things. She’s traveled more extensively than anyone else I know, she is an extremely talented crafter, and she is a dedicated cyclist.

We created a program for her to complement all the other activities going on in her busy life, and she executed like a pro.

Details of Nadia’s Online Personal Training

We chose to do online personal training for Nadia because she has the discipline and background in exercise. She didn’t need me to be there during her sessions, but she wanted me to plan them. Oh, and she lives out of town.

We chose some heavy-hitters for Nadia: sessions that were hard, fairly quick, and hit the high points. She didn’t need extra conditioning because she does that with her cycling training. She’s also busy, as mentioned before, and didn’t want to spend hours in the gym.

In fact, she didn’t spend any time in the gym. She trained with dumbbells, bands and bodyweight at her home.

Read below for her account of how training went.

Nadia’s Testimonial

I was on the verge of giving up.  After a few years of on-and-off workouts, Kathryn set me up with a fast, effective way to jumpstart my exercise routine.  I wasn’t sure how a few exercises and minimal diet restrictions would work, but it proved to be the best option for me.  She listened to my concerns and helped me develop a workout that I could fit into my schedule.  Her encouraging words and positive attitude are exactly what I needed in order to keep going.

Today, I’m in the best shape of my life and I attribute it to the exercise plan she developed for me.  Thank you, Kathryn.

She has seen health improvements, and boy is she getting strong! I am all around happy for her.

Veronica’s Testimonial

First let me say that Kathryn is an awesome personal trainer. It is September 2015 and I have been remotely training with Kathryn for about 3 months now. I was in two really bad car accidents years ago and ever since I was not able to exercise without injuring myself again. I would always give up due to the pain. I have many other health conditions that make it very difficult for me to lose weight. I have been the exact same weight for the past 4 years. I have not gone over or under a pound, but somehow managed to maintain that weight. After my doctor told me that I would have to get on diabetic medication if I did not do something to move my weight down, I decided to look for a well educated personal trainer. I looked and did some research for about 2 months until I found Kathryn. I wanted to make sure I had someone that really knew their stuff. Well, I really hit the jackpot with Kathryn. She is amazing at what she does. I did not think I would be able to do much, but Kathryn created a tailored exercise and food program for me to follow. I have been following her recommendations and have lost 13 pounds. Thirteen pounds is a lot of weight to lose in 3 months especially for someone who has hypothyroidism and other health conditions that make it really hard for me to lose weight. My doctor cannot believe that the weight is coming off the way it is due to my health conditions.

My doctor is super excited for me. I owe a lot of that to Kathryn. her remote program is so easy to follow as she literally writes everything you need in a nicely structured sheet and emails it to you. She also includes videos that demonstrate exercises that you may not be familiar with. Her workouts are challenging but I have not injured myself once with her plan because she has taken all my health/injuries into account and made me my own program. I love her program so much that I have decided to start training with her once a week in person since I live in Austin. The cool thing about Kathryn’s remote program is that you do not have to live in Austin. She will email you everything you need and she always makes sure to check up on you weekly to see how you are doing and how the program is going for you. Again, I highly recommend giving Kathryn’s specifically tailored for you remote program a try. You will be very glad you did.

Kathryn again here. I encourage you to write a new chapter in your story, beginning with a new training program. It can make you so much healthier that your doctor notices, like Veronica’s. The best part is it can make you feel so much better. I’d love to help you on your journey. Email me, or send me a message here for a free consult about making a plan for you.

Amanda Prioritizes Her Health

Amanda’s success story is fantastic: she was in a great position to put her health as a priority, since she was newly pregnant with her first child. She worked hard, worked smart, and had a great payoff a few months later! 🙂

Amanda’s Story

I started working with Kathryn when I was pregnant with my first baby.  She tailored workouts for me that were challenging, while keeping the interest of me and my baby in mind.  I attribute my work with her as a very important factor in the healthy delivery of my baby girl, and working with her afterwards helped me shed baby weight.  Kathryn put a lot of thought into designing a program specifically for me and took a personal interest in my health and success.  Even though I live in a different city now, we keep in touch and I am still able to utilize the workouts she provided.
