Katie has always been a Tampa girl, and even decided to attend college at USF to stay close to her family, friends, and the ocean. In high school, she participated in track and cheerleading, but her first love was Taekwondo. She had been involved and taught at several schools throughout her martial arts career and even earned the rank of third degree black belt. She wanted more.
She had first seen Crossfit by watching people run down the street carrying all sorts of weights. She noticed inside people were lifting barbells and doing pull-ups on a rig mounted on the side. She drove by this place for several weeks on her way home from college classes until she had the courage to go inside.
It was love at first workout. Katie had always been interested in becoming the best version of herself and she knew this is where she belonged. Katie continued Crossfit, moving to several different gyms and making many new friends along the way. She soon realized that she wanted to make Crossfit more than just a hobby. So from just a small girl in 2010, Katie worked hard and started competing in local competitions. In 2015, all her hard work had paid off. She finally made it to the big stage at the Crossfit Regionals representing the Atlantic Region on a team of 3 men and 3 women. The following year, she competed as an individual, surpassing over 10,000 women in her region.
Although Katie loves Crossfit, her goal was always to help other people attain their fitness goals and become the best versions of themselves, just as she had done. Early after college, Katie became a certified Physical Education teacher and wanted to work with young kids on improving their self-esteem, lifestyle habits, and fitness. After about 5 years in the school system, a need for a Crossfit Coach had come up at her own gym! She got her L1 trainer certificate and started to coach part time, which eventually turned into her full time career. She has since then earned her Crossfit Level 2 Trainer Certification, Brand X Kids Certification, Pre/Post Natal Certification, OPEX Level 1 Training Certificate, and even became part owner/manager of a local Crossfit gym this past year.
