Head Hyrox + DEKA Coach
Gym & Class Instructor
Personal Trainer
Kate is a PT and HYROX Coach who delivers high-energy classes, 1-to-1 coaching, and programs that are tough but actually fun (most of the time). With over 7 years of experience in the fitness industry, she’s obsessed with helping people realise they’re far stronger than they think. Slightly addicted to all things HYROX and DEKA, Kate has completed 8 HYROX races and placed 2nd in a DEKA Elite race.
Known for her infectiously positive attitude and genuine love for fitness, Kate is a huge advocate for a healthy, sustainable lifestyle and is always learning to give her clients the best possible support. From strongman to half marathons, she thrives on a challenge. Expect big energy, questionable playlists, plenty of encouragement, and a friendly touch of chaos — she’ll believe in you before you believe in yourself.
