Meet the founder
Hi, I’m Katie.
Fitness and wellbeing have been part of my life from a very young age. As a high-level swimmer and keen gymnast at school, my education in training and nutrition started early.
After university I spent ten years in fashion retail, eventually becoming Head of Accessories. I loved the industry, but sport and fitness kept drawing me back. In late 2012, I opened CrossFit Nottingham with my husband and made the leap from an established career to coaching.
I fell in love with CrossFit’s methodology and challenge, competing at National and European level, both individually and as part of a team.
As a coach, I’ve helped individuals and groups discover fitness, return to training, prepare for life events and improve athletic performance. Above all, I want to help people reach a place where they feel happy, capable and confident.
Seeing my clients become fitter, healthier and stronger is what motivates me. I feel privileged that they place their trust in me. It’s a partnership.
