KATIE McKINNEY

I grew up playing water polo and swimming, coaching youth sports, and working in several physical therapy offices before beginning my personal training career in 2018.

Coming from a background in swimming and gymnastics, and having experienced a variety of injuries myself, I initially focused my training on corrective exercise, isometric strength work, core development, balance training, and movement quality.

As my career evolved and I gained experience in different gym environments, I expanded my expertise into weight loss, strength development, and sports performance training.

Strength training has personally impacted my life by building confidence, improving resilience, and helping support my joints to reduce the risk of injury. My coaching philosophy focuses not only on strengthening muscles, but also on strengthening joints through loaded mobility and intentional movement.

I believe we train to live an active, healthy life—not to become stiff, limited, or stuck in pain. My goal is to help clients move better, feel stronger, and build confidence that carries over into everyday life.
