About Me
Hi, I'm Katie, the founder of Valkyrie Physique and a certified personal trainer with a passion for helping women build strength, confidence, and independence through lifting.
​
When I started lifting, I was tiny. I had just recovered from an eating disorder and didn't know anything about strength training. I would go after my serving shifts, around 1 or 2am in hopes that I would have the gym to myself so no one would see me working out.​
​
Now, 7 years later, I'm an NPC Figure Competitor, and have ran my own personal training business for over 2 years teaching others how to take care of their bodies the healthy way.
​
What changed? I spent years going to school and studying for certifications, along with actually living the lifestyle to learn as much as I could. My goal is to simplify the process for everyone else to make healthy lifestyle choices that much easier.
I'm certified through NASM and have an Exercise Science Degree from the University of Akron. My expertise lies in strength gain, posture improvements, reverse dieting (increasing your metabolism), and teaching how to use the gym for a lifetime comfortably on your own.
