Hello, I’m Kate…

Fitness and Wellness Lehigh Valley

I am

an experienced personal trainer, movement analyst, and mobility specialist based in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley and NYC, who takes a whole life approach to fitness and wellness. I don't do cookie cutter-style fitness plans for my clients. Instead, I use my 15 years of experience as a certified personal trainer, strength and mobility coach, an athlete, and dancer in New York City and the Lehigh Valley to come up with a personalized plan that will work for you to get the whole body results you're looking for. Expect coaching that may look like physical exercise therapy in that it is anatomical and alignment based — yet inspiring and invigorating. I call myself a movement exercise specialist.

My clients are from all walks of life. They are in shape, out of shape, overweight, underweight, injured, stressed or disabled. They include celebrities, corporate employees, lawyers, writers, teenagers, families, former and current athletes and more. All of my clients have some things in common: They strive to get stronger in body and mind, they want to get smarter in how they approach fitness and nutrition, and they are dedicated to living their best lives. No body is alike. Therefore, I'm here as your specialized fitness and wellness coach to guide you to your version of better health and reach your goals.

  • “I never thought I would work one-on-one with somebody, but Kate is extraordinary. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the body, how it works, and how to change what it can do. I learned from Kate that building strength or mobility doesn't require a lot of repetitions, it's more about doing the right moves in the most appropriate sequence to work the targeted body parts. Kate is a genius in this area. You'll get maximum results through targeted efforts. My favorite day of the week is the day I work with Kate - she makes me feel good about myself even as she's motivating me toward my goals.”
