About Katherine
About myself:
"I have been a fitness trainer by profession for almost a decade now
and a devotee and disciple of athletic lifestyle from the age of five
when I began my gymnastics training. The lifetime dedication to sporty
lifestyle, thorough grounding in educational sciences (Master's Degree
in Early Childhood education) as well as ample and direct/hands-on experience
of a variety of different takes on fitness and athletic preparation and
training have shaped me into a personal trainer by vocation, which I turned
into my professional walk of life by obtaining a number of significant
American certifications of personal training. The most important formative
experience on this path was my injury in my adolescence, a result of unprofessional
coaching, which abruptly put an end to my athletic ambitions, at the same
time putting me on the trail for "holy grail" quest of injury-proof,
effective, versatile, and lasting training for everyone in their own pursuit
of fitness goals."
