ABOUT KATIE

Katie, founder of Active Evolution, graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a Bachelor's in Marketing and Psychology. Her passion toward her own health and fitness steered Katie into the training industry, as she wanted to help others achieve the same balance and success with their bodies. Katie helps her clients create a strong mind/body connection to feel healthier and see quicker results. She has attended live workshops and worked with some of the most reputable professionals in the industry, including Gray Cook, Gary Gray, and Juan-Carlos Santana. She continuously educates herself on the most current research to ensure constant growth in her own training technique.

One of her most recent certifications includes use of the Power Plate, state-of-the-art equipment that uses vibration to stimulate your system. While working out on the Plate, your muscles can contract between 25 and 50 times per second, which increases the overall work your body performs in a fraction of the time. The Power Plate can also be used to improve your blood circulation and assist in faster recovery.

Katie works with a wide range of clients, not only for weight-loss, but also customizes sport-specific training programs, as she has an athletic background in both softball and track and field. She has prepared many clients with the strength and endurance to run 1/2 marathons, marathons, and triathlons; while arming others with the power and speed to excel in collegiate athletics. In addition to training her clients, she is constantly preparing her own body for fitness competitions under the National Physique Committee. Katie can offer bodybuilders and figure competitors specific consultation on posing, diet, and supplementation, along with intense workouts. The demands on the body are great in order to compete, so training with someone who knows this regiment first-hand is ideal.

Katie integrates all layers of physical activity into your workouts, including: strength, endurance, power, flexibility, and mental focus. In addition to the physical training, Katie offers ongoing nutritional counseling and supplementation to reach your goals.
