Hi, I'm Katie
I’ve been helping people feel stronger, healthier and better in their bodies for more than 25 years.
I specialize in working with adults 50+ and understand that training at this stage of life requires a different approach. Your bodies, fitness levels and goals may be completely different, and that’s okay.
My job is to make sure you both get the coaching you need while still enjoying the experience of training together.
I’m a personal trainer and Certified Holistic Nutritionist with a degree in kinesiology, a certification in yoga and a long-standing study of Pilates and movement practices. I bring more than 25 years of experience working with people with different bodies, abilities, injuries and goals.
But one of my favourite things about working with couples is seeing what happens when they start moving together. I love watching them encourage each other, celebrate each other’s progress and find joy in making their health and fitness something they share.
And because I genuinely care about my clients, I get to know you both, not just your bodies and your goals, but who you are. I’m there to support you, keep you accountable and help you both stay on track.
Some of my clients have worked with me for 15 years or more. I love being part of that long-term journey and seeing couples become stronger, healthier and more confident together.
There’s something really special about helping two people who care about each other stay strong for the life they want to keep living.
Testimonials
I was honestly expecting to struggle with consistency because my schedule is all over the place. Instead, we found a way to make the training fit into my actual week. I’ve gotten stronger, I feel better day to day, and it finally feels like something I can keep doing.
I’ve tried a few different programs over the years and usually lost interest after a couple of months. This was different because it didn’t feel like I was just following a generic plan. Things were adjusted when they needed to be, and I never felt like I had to push through something that wasn’t working for me.
I was nervous going into it because I hadn’t exercised consistently in a long time. The first few weeks were definitely an adjustment, but I started noticing small changes pretty quickly. I’m moving more confidently now and, probably most importantly, exercise has actually become part of my routine.
Why Couples Train Together
Staying active can feel easier when you’re doing it together.
Life gets busy. It’s easy for exercise to keep getting pushed down the list, even when you both know how important it is.
Training together gives you a reason to make it a priority. You have the same hour blocked off, the same coach expecting you and someone beside you doing it with you.
And you don’t have to be at the same fitness level to train together.
One of you might be stronger. One might have an old injury. You may have completely different goals or prefer different exercises.
That’s okay.
I coach each of you individually within the same session, so you both get training that is appropriate for your body and your goals, while still having the experience of working out together.
What The Two Of You Can Work On
Your goals don’t have to match.
One of you might be focused on getting stronger while the other is working on balance or an old injury. You can be working on different things in the same hour.
One of you may want to build muscle while the other simply wants to keep the strength they have. You each train for that, in the same hour.
If one of you wants to lose weight and the other doesn’t, that isn’t a problem. Your training is built separately, you just do it side by side.
Stiffness rarely turns up in the same places for both of you. We work on what each of your bodies is actually holding onto.
Balance doesn’t have to wait until one of you has a fall. We train balance, leg strength and body control, physical abilities that can help reduce fall risk as you age.
One of you may be able to train around an injury or physical limitation while the other continues progressing. Neither of you necessarily has to stop because the other needs to modify their training.
Desk work, driving and years of habit can affect how each of you moves. We build strength, mobility and body awareness to help you both move with greater ease and confidence.
I’m not fitting the two of you into one program. I’m building the right one for each of you.
Why Couples Love Training Together
You get the benefits of personal training, and the experience of doing it together.
One hour together
No coordinating separate workouts or finding time for two different sessions. You both train during the same hour.
Personalized for both of you
Different fitness levels, different goals, different bodies. You each get a workout designed specifically for you.
Accountability built in
You have a coach expecting you to show up, and a partner beside you doing it with you.
More than a workout
You’re investing in your health together, supporting each other and building strength for the life you want to keep living.
What Couples Personal Training Looks Like
One hour together. Two personalized workouts. One coach who knows you both.
When you train as a couple, I’m coaching both of you throughout the session. You’re in the same room, working out at the same time, but your training is designed around your individual needs.
You might be doing the same movement with different weights or modifications. You might be doing completely different exercises. I move between you, watching your form, giving you specific cues and adjusting your training as you go.
You each get my attention. You each get a program built for you. And you get to do it together.
Over time, I also get to know you as a couple, how you motivate each other, where you’re at individually and what you both want to work toward.
And there’s something powerful about having someone beside you who is making the same commitment.
You show up together. You get stronger together. And you have someone keeping both of you on track.

Online Couples Training, Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to be at the same fitness level?
Not at all. You can be at completely different fitness levels and still train together. I adjust the exercises, weights and intensity for each of you.
Do we have to have the same goals?
No. One of you might want to lose weight while the other wants to build strength. You may have different priorities, injuries or limitations. You each get personalized training within the same session.
Do we both get individual attention?
Absolutely. You’re both being coached throughout the session. I move between you, watch how you’re moving, give you specific cues and make adjustments for each of you.
Do we do the same exercises?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If an exercise is appropriate for both of you, you may do it together. Other times, I’ll give one of you a different exercise, weight or modification based on what your body needs.
Do we work out at the same time?
Yes. You’re both in the same room, during the same hour of coaching. You’re training together while I personalize the workout for each of you.
What if one of us has an injury?
That’s okay. I can modify exercises and adapt your training around injuries and physical limitations. You don’t have to be doing the same workout as your partner.
Why train as a couple instead of separately?
For many couples, having a shared training time can make exercise easier to prioritize. You have the same time blocked off, a coach expecting you and your partner beside you. You’re making physical activity a priority together.
What if we don’t have much fitness equipment at home?
That’s not a problem. We can build your workouts around the equipment you have available and make recommendations if there’s anything that would be useful.
Do you include nutrition coaching?
General nutrition and wellness education can be included as part of your personal training. I can answer general questions, offer practical suggestions and help you understand how nutrition can support your training and recovery.
For individualized medical nutrition needs, we recommend working with an appropriate healthcare professional.
If you want to take a deeper look at your nutrition, we can also book a separate nutrition coaching session where we have dedicated time to really dig into your eating habits, goals and what may be getting in the way.
Is couples personal training less personalized than individual training?
You each get a personalized program and individual coaching within the shared session. You’re simply sharing the same hour with your partner, which means you get the benefits of personal training while having someone beside you doing it with you.

Read more →The Evidence Behind Our Approach
Our approach is grounded in established exercise science and research on physical activity in older adults.
- Strength & Healthy Aging
- Resistance training can improve muscle strength, muscle size and physical function in older adults.
- Physical Function & Independence
- Regular physical activity can support physical function, mobility, balance and the ability to remain active and independent as we age.
- Training Together & Social Support
- Research suggests that support from family and others can be associated with greater physical activity among older adults. Training together can provide another practical way to build exercise into your routine.
- Individualized Training
- Exercise programs can be adapted to different abilities, goals and physical limitations rather than requiring everyone to follow the same program.
