I have always been pretty good with my fitness and food but after discovering my hidden habits I hadn’t realised how my body really worked. And that for me is the absolute crux of this whole discovery – I didn’t have a relationship with my body. I wasn’t overweight nor was I unfit I was just stuck.

I have been a gym goer, swimmer and runner for years but had got to a very safe and secure stage where my body would just respond with “oh this old routine” where the level of comfort was too easy to remain at the same weight or to add on a few kilos every now and again – this made me particularly frustrated given I was an avid gym goer (5-6 d/w). The overhang on the jeans became worryingly muffin-like and when I became lethargic and tired I knew something had to change.

Sure the trainers at the gym were helpful and the pseudo food plan was ok but clearly not giving my body a shock to the system that it needed. I sifted through pages on the web for decent workouts / nutrition planning – bombarded by scams and quick fixes – I then hunted for a consolidated program. I came across Kat’s details and decided to bite the bullet to find out more.

Kat’s style and manner was just what I was looking for. I didn’t want the trainer shouting down at me like some pent up army major on a power trip, nor did I want the superficial lycra-clad PT patronisingly ordering me to “hop on there”.

Now, remote training is an odd concept to grasp and it really does require you to be disciplined, dedicated and to trust yourself but over the course of weeks I noticed that by sticking to a food diary, plan and exercise program I would see results – and I did.

It didn’t take long for me to realise the benefits from fueling my body with the right foods, at the right time and becoming in tune and listening how my body works. The workouts were fabulous too. I despise squats and lunges but Kat’s programs mix up the exercises so you’re not prone to boredom.

My body type is attention seeking, it plateaus but I know how to kick-start it when I see the signs. I also know when to revisit diarising my food intake to check in what bad habits may be creeping in.

Considerably lighter, toned, energetic I am ecstatic on how much progress I have made. It’s not a change for the short-term either. I recently read that any changes to your diet or exercise tends to only be sustained for 6 months, my changes are for life.

I continue to push myself every week – knowing I am human and like the odd glass of wine or bit of chocolate but know it will mean a harder push and those fateful burpees in my next workout but with Kat’s expertise, experience and over-flowing energy I know I can do it!
