Personal trainer and fitness enthusiast, Ekaterina A.K.A. Kat, prides herself in changing lives – one fitness plan at a time. Kat grew up in a small town in the Ural region of Mother Russia, close to the border of Kazakhstan. She wasn’t your average young girl who occupied herself with many girly things because taekwondo and martial arts gave her much more of a rush. After winning her first taekwondo competition at the age of seven, Kat knew it was only the beginning of something bigger than herself. Kat spent the next 10 years training and competing as a professional athlete. She earned her “Master of Sport” degree in taekwondo and became a national champion in taekwondo and karate. Kat wanted to accomplish more as an adult and that is when she decided to move to the U.S. (California) in 2006.
After going through many trials and discouraging moments, Kat fell into a bit of a slump. What could’ve been the end to the start of something phenomenal; was worked through in the gym. Kat used the gym as an escape. Slowly, it became her obsession and her true passion was born. She began noticing the positive effects the workouts had on her body and overall mood; she started to depend heavily on it. As the world of possibilities, strength, beauty, and self-confidence began to unfold, her desire to share her knowledge and passion with others grew indefinitely. A healthy body prompts an overall healthy lifestyle and Kat dedicated herself to ensure her clients had both.
When Kat isn’t working with her clients she is studying fitness and nutrition to keep herself up to date on current health and fitness information. Kat is a well-rounded athlete and who enjoys doing bodybuilding, CrossFit and Olympic style training. She is inspired by meeting and working with successful people and to her, fitness is about more than just clients’ physical appearance. It’s about being healthy, happy, and getting their lives together and once clients uncover their full potential, it takes them to a new level in life.
GymKat Professional Philosophy:
“I am sure to implement the scientific approach to improve a client’s situation instead of bringing harm to it.

It is very important that I assist and coach my clients on being successful in the fitness and health aspects of their lives.”
