About

There is no "one size fits all" option in True Body Fitness. Because each client is different, so is each workout even during training classes. We modify and challenge as needed so all clients are successful with reaching their goals. We specialize in: 1. Fitness training from beginners with no previous exercise experience to recreational athletes. 2. Men and women with limitations: previous injury/post rehab (with doctor clearance if needed), obesity, auto-immune disorders and cancer patients and survivors (with doctor clearance). 3. Weightlifting for weight loss and physique change. 4. Nutrition coaching 5. Kettlebell training We enjoy not only helping our clients meet their goals, but also to help them overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. Kathy's favorite saying is, "it's about progress not perfection".

Working out with Kathy is time very well spent. A few years back I had a sports related injury which lead me to a long hiatus from my regular fitness routine as a trail runner. I began to use certain avoidance motions and postures to sidestep the pain involved with the injury. As a result of that (and very long work days sitting at a desk) I developed a muscular imbalance which manifested in a severe weakening of the knees. Sitting down became nothing more than a semi-controlled fall, getting up from a squat involved an act of God, and any type of fitness routine became an unattainable dream. Before the injury I was an avid trail runner - logging 5+ miles per day and loving every minute of it. I missed the strength and agility I knew when I was in that condition. The time spent hitting the trails was emotionally cathartic and the physical exercise kept my body lean and rather badass... I lost that routine to the injury for long enough that it allowed certain insecurities or fears to get a pretty tight grip on my psyche. I gained weight- a lot of it... I would get so frustrated with not fitting in my clothes and simply not feeling good that i would spring into a new fitness regime with unequaled fervor only to overdo it (of course) because i wanted SO MUCH to be back to that time when i felt so much lighter- physically and emotionally due to the therapeutic nature of pushing myself physically. I developed a pattern of self loathing, which lead to an "I'm going to do it this time!" mentality, which lead to pushing too hard too fast, which lead to another injury... Which then lead to more avoidance postures for fear of a re-injury. Which lead me to finally hunting down and calling in an expert. I realized that I needed someone to rein me in, and direct my intent so that I could regain my strength and fitness at a smart pace, and avoid any overuse or new injuries in the process. I also needed someone to understand anatomy well enough to develop the weak muscles (and determine which ARE the actual culprits) first to rehabilitate the muscle imbalance and not exacerbate it. I found thumbtack when I searched for personal trainers online - Had never heard of it but the premise was definitely intriguing. I chose Kathy for a few reasons: - Kathy responded quickly and asked pointed questions to try and ascertain what the root issue might be. (Most of the other responders just talked money, and avoided any further discussion about my specific needs) This was very important to me. - Kathy relayed some lessons/expertise she had learned/gained having worked with clients having issues very similar to mine. Which demonstrated that I would not be a guinea pig for her. - Kathy was clearly a no silly frills, get the right job done the right way the first time type of trainer. I could not have made a better choice! She very thoughtfully and systematically went about rebuilding my muscular foundation. She adjusts to *your* needs- and never puts you in a one routine fits all type scenario. Every workout we built more upon the developing foundation, but never OVER did it. Working with her I have regained so much confidence and trust in my body that I had lost. My capability grows everyday as I get closer and closer to feeling like myself again. If you're on here trying to pick the right trainer for you, do yourself a favor and see what Kathy can do for you. She's focused, pragmatic, smart, and she will do what's best for YOU. Plus, (And this is a huge plus) She's a whole lot of fun to sweat yer butt off with!

I am really enjoying having Kathy as my personal trainer. She is so knowledgeable and encouraging and has developed a program specific to my goals and limitations. We are working on both fitness and nutrition. I can already feel myself getting stronger with our workouts and the nutrition program is taylored so I make slow changes over time that I buy into - so they will work and simply become my new normal. Perfect! Thanks Kathy, I'm so happy to have you to help me through making lasting healthy changes!

Personal Training Services Before I started training with Kathy Gotz at True Body Fitness, I was not exercising AT ALL. I had very low energy (which is probably not surprising) and low motivation. I used to have a membership at a gym but I hated working out in a place where I did not know anyone and where no one held me accountable. Since I started training with Kathy Gotz in December 2016, I have more energy and find that I really enjoy her workouts. It feels good to sweat and to challenge myself. I participated in the True Body Fitness Transformation Challenge which began on January 23, 2017 and ended today, February 18, 2017. It has been a wonderful experience. Kathy taught us to keep food journals and it really opened my eyes with respect to what I was putting in my body. Her nutrition workshops encouraged me to cook for the first time in my new apartment as well as make better choices about what I eat. I lost four pounds and have a slimmer waist thanks to this Challenge. If you are on the fence about personal training, try True Body Fitness. It is not only affordable, but a great investment in your health and well being. I love that Kathy encourages you to work hard without ever making you feel guilty for the occasions when you may not have made the best choices with respect to your diet or fitness outside of the gym.
