Here's what people are saying about Katie's Fitness

"Several years ago when I was in my mid fifties I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. At the time I was osteopenotic which means just before full blown osteoporosis. Just two years later I was told by a doctor (after abone density test) that I had the bones of an 80 year old. Not a good thing
for anyone but even worse for an active person. I asked him what I could do and he said nothing, just don't ride a horse. The bone loss was in my spine. Well! I was very upset. So my daughter and I did some reading and some research. I went on 1200 mgs of calcium per day and added weight
workouts at Katies Fitness twice or three times weekly to my routine of walking. Just last week I had another bone density test. I am now again osteopenotic. This was really good news. I had added bone and I intend to add more. I am so excited that I wanted to share with all of you."

"I joined Katie’s Fitness in September 2006 two nights a week mainly due to the later hours Katie offers her classes which afforded me the flexibility to still be with my family but work out after they had completed their homework and were almost ready for bed.

Partaking in Katie’s classes, she has encouraged me to reach new levels, and the motivation she provides in class encourages me to work out on my own throughout the balance of the week. We have a good laugh and socialize while enjoying a very serious class of instruction. I have surprised myself with the limits I’ve reached, encouraged always to do so respecting my limits. Katie’s assistance modifying classes during a period of extreme back pain (not attributable to exercise) enabled me to continue exercising while injured and to quickly bounce back to the same level of fitness enjoyed prior to my injury.

I highly recommend Katie’s classes to the “mom with a conscience” for her hours, and for the individual who wants to see results through fitness. Give Katie at least two nights a week for three months! The “serious” participant WILL see results."

"I joined Katie's Fitness just over a year ago and I must say that I am loving it! I had never exercised before and hate the idea of going to big gymnasiums so Katie's Fitness was the perfect place! It is not intimidating at all, works for all from beginners to pro's and you could do the routines at your own pace. If you are a working mom like myself, Katie would also do a late evening session to accommodate you....It is an important investment in your health and I will recommend it at any time.."

"I have a confession to make. I hate exercise. There it is – I said it! I feel like I’m the only women in the world who feels this way. I always have good intentions: I start something new and I don’t enjoy it. Then I tell myself that I just haven’t found my “thing” yet. I spent several years trying to find my thing. Finally, after a pretty exhaustive search, I found it. My thing turns out to be Katie’s Fitness. Katie offers various classes that can be taken advantage of by the beginner all the way to the seasoned pro. She offers flexibility, variety and best of all, excitement! Her energy and enthusiasm is simply contagious. I have never encountered someone before that loves to motivate others as much as she does. As a result, she has a very loyal following. She works us so hard. She makes us laugh. She makes us sore! She makes us enjoy what we are doing. Women love to hate her! She never waivers in her support in the success of others. When you drop a few pounds and start to feel stronger and healthier, she is the first to congratulate you! She is genuinely happy with the success of her clients. She truly loves what she is doing and her exuberance is infectious! I have one more confession to make. I look forward to exercising with Katie’s Fitness."

"I started at Katie’s Fitness January 07, and so many months later, I still feel like it was the best decision I’ve made for ME! Not only do I feel and look better, I am stronger and my attitude about myself is way more positive. There is something for everyone, be it kickboxing or pilates Katie will suggest what is best for you and your fitness level. Take it from someone who 9 months ago hated to excercise, I now look forward to and truly enjoy having my butt kicked, and I haven’t even mentioned the great friends that I have made in the small intimate classes."

"Prior to coming to Katie's Fitness Studio, my body was out of shape, weak and I suffered from low self-esteem. The variety of classes offered, allowed me to choose a beginner, intermediate or advance level. I've been attending Katie's classes for a year, and the results have been incredible! I receive tremendous cardio benefits with such classes as ass-kicker and circuit training, excellent weight training with fit flex, and yogalaties is heaven! Thank you Katie's Fitness Studio for making this woman strong, healthy and of sound body and mind!"

"I have been exercising with Katie's Fitness classes for over a year now. I absolutely love it. The class sizes are perfect. They are small enough that everyone gets to know each other and we all encourage each other. Katie is great at motivating us and she always has new exciting classes to offer. She has energy to spare, she is an inspiring role model and you won't be disappointed when you join any of her classes."

Anita Edger

"I joined Katie’s Fitness quite reluctantly with a friend in January 2006. Not having exercised in many years and being completely out of shape were very intimidating to me. After attending a few of Katie’s classes I realized that working out was not such a bad thing and that you could actually have fun doing it. After a short while I started to notice significant changes in my energy level, weight and self-esteem. Almost two years later (and 35 lbs lighter, I might add) I participate in at least three classes per week which combine core strength training, weight training and cardio and I absolutely love it! Through Katie’s encouragement, motivation and endless support I have never felt stronger or healthier. Thank you Katie’s Fitness for providing such a positive and enjoyable environment to work out in."

Cathy Simone

Katie's classes are GREAT! The music is upbeat and motivating, and her constant scrutiny keeps everyone working their muscles properly with no risk of injury. The small group size allows for class members to support one another, and so I always feel horribly guilty if I have to miss one of her classes. Still, the best part is the awesome results!!!"

Katie is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. While I am not the most disciplined student, (yes Katie, I am working on that), I try never to miss a class. I have gained self confidence, improved my strength and stamina as well as made a circle of great friends. Doing this was definitely a great decision on my part.

Hi Katie;
I just need to brag. :) Since it is raining and I couldn't go for a walk this morning, I made my own circuit in my house. I used my "blue" weights (which I now know the weight of!) and some of the exercises we have done in class. I'm feeling very proud of myself! Thank you...even though it's only been a couple weeks, I'm already feeling better.

Katie’s Fitness has infused new life into me since May of 2008. Initially all I was interested in were the Pilates classes but upon speaking to Kathy, a long-time member, she convinced me on taking up Fit Flex. It was a matter of weeks after I started noticing that my legs, arms, and abdomen feeling much firmer. Overall I can’t say enough good things about her comfortable and clean facility, and teaching techniques. The members are top notch, fabulous and fun women. Katie is extremely professional, knowledgeable, helpful and very encouraging. She has created a challenging and exceptional straightforward plan for me towards achieving my goal. Who knew that lifting weights combine with Pilates could give you such a great feeling of happiness! I continue to feel stronger and confident and inspired to stick with the program. I am still enthusiastic as when I started. Keeping up my personal fitness with Kate’s Fitness is fundamental to maintaining my physical, emotional and mental health. Katie, thank you from the bottom of my heart on your ability to get me on the right track to better health.

Like many of my friends, I hate Summer – or rather the IDEA of summer. Skimpier outfits, tighter tops, shorter pants, Summer makes it hard to hide my trouble spots. My thighs, my middle, my arms. But summer also means my kids are home all day, every day! So I looked at my 15 year old and was determined for this summer not to be another boring sit on the couch, or hang out doing nothing summer. I needed to do something to help encourage my daughter to do something for herself.

I thought if we both join a gym, it would mean some great mother-daughter time as well as a great way for the both of us to get back in shape.

That’s when I found Katies Fitness. Joining Katie’s Fitness was the best decision I have ever made for myself and my daughter.

It’s not a gym, It’s not putting my name on a waiting list for a machine, its not getting judged by 100 other woman who think it’s a competition, Its not going into debt to pay the fees, its not trying to use machines I know nothing about, Its not setting myself up for failure.

Katie’s classes are made up of these intimate groups of wonderfully fun and inspiring women. The Flex Pilates and Fit Flex classes are a real work-out. She is motivating and inspirational and really knows her stuff. She cares about my daughter and I and she proves it every class.

After just a short period of time we are seeing real results!

If you are looking for real results and you don’t mind making a few great friends in the process, I highly recommend Katie’s Fitness.

Thank you Katie for kicking my ass! I have never been one to like exercise or take the initiative to do it on my own so it has been great having you there to motivate me to keep going. I also love the social aspect that your classes bring. I have met some wonderful people and lost almost 10 pounds in the process.

Keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

Annalee Weston

December 2008 there I was sitting at Donisi Hair Salon and waiting for my hair dresser and there she was Marion Upshall sitting across from me looking fit, toned and absolutely breath taking. After catching up with her listening to her talk about Katie's Fitness, I asked her to place a call to Katie to let her know I would be calling her. With two weeks left to my winter family vacation, I called Katie and booked my consultation for Tues Jan 6th and it's history from there.
I feel amazing, I look amazing, and not that it's about people noticing me but it really feels nice to hear 'wow look at those abs', 'wow look at your arms', 'you look so good, WHAA!'. I thought I knew what toned was until Katie transformed my body. Katie's Fitness rocks! I look forward to my personal training with her . I have to say I don't embrace every exercise but she really knows what she is doing and my body is totally responding, I see the changes, my clothes are getting bigger and my problem areas are becoming less obvious.
Katie, I will follow you to the end of the world. Thank you for making me happy with myself. You are my hero. "

Before I joined Katie's Fitness, I was constantly being disappointment with my attempts to achieve my fitness goals. I wanted toned muscles and to bascially be in shape which implys not panting frantically while running up the staris. I love being active and even still I was unable to attain my objective. I started my classes still skeptical. After 3 weeks, 2 times per week, I noticed a difference. I enrolled for the 2nd session expecting to get greater results. After these 10 weeks, my muscles are toned, my body is more tolerable to wieght endurance and my stamina is at an improved sharpness. I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror! Thanks Katie!!"
