Hello! I'm Katie, and I'd like to provide you with some information regarding my personal training background and certifications as you search for a personal trainer for your practice.
I've always enjoyed being active from a young age. Growing up, I participated in volleyball, basketball & lacrosse. During my sophmore year of college, I switched my major to Kinesiology at Rowan Univeristy, in Southern New Jersey. In order to fulfil my degree, I interned with Virtua Health in 2004 at the William G. Rohrer Center for Health Fitness in Voorhees, NJ. I absolutely loved working within a hospital-based fitness center, both in the fitness department as well as the Center for Weight Management. Over the last 15 years I have lived in Pennsylvania & California.
During my time in PA, I managed a corporate fitness center for several years, and more recently was the program director of Strength after Breast Cancer, developed by Exercise Physiologists and Research Scientists at UPENN. Between 2007-2017, I worked at Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine Shiley Fitness Center, based in La Jolla, CA, as a Personal Trainer, Group Exercise Instructor & Fitness Lead (2014). I've listed below the trainings & certifications I've completed as well as professional conferences I've attended.
In 2020, I attended MiraCosta College in Encinitas for 3 months to become a Certified Yoga Instructor (CYT-200 hours)
On weekends, I enjoy spending time with my partner & friends camping, hiking and hanging at the beach. I also love to run with dogs -see DogJog San Diego, & design websites- see my portfolio.
