Katie had a history of starting and quitting various training and dieting programmes after failing to see the results she wanted. But while her feelings and motivation to stick to these numerous plans differed, one thing didn’t – and that was her longing to change her body shape and drop some fat.
Having spent years crash dieting and not losing the weight she wanted to, she was forced to do something about it.
Katie said: “I have been overweight most of my life and after being told I needed to lose weight for an operation, I knew I needed to start making a change.”
Unsure of where to start, she was first introduced to personal training after meeting PT Nathan Kennedy at one of his classes.
She quickly realised how much she enjoyed his style of motivation and decided to join his team after giving up on trying and failing on her own.

The short bursts of exercise help people burn fat and build lean muscle at the same time, forcing the body to use energy from fat rather than carbs.
And it’s safe to say Katie loves it and is now a regular gym goer, only having a couple of sessions with Nathan.
“I have two personal training sessions a month, a nutrition plan, a food tracker and monthly check-ins with Nathan himself, which helps to keep me on track,” she said, now feeling more confident to train alone.
And she doesn’t plan on stopping there. “I’m looking to lose another four or five stone before my 30th birthday, which will be in September 2023,” she added.
“I’m very lucky Nathan understands my goals and my abilities, he really is a brilliant PT. He has got my goals in mind and pushes me every day to keep going.”
