Hi! I’m K8 (Kate) — a personal trainer based in Columbus and the founder of Elev8 with K8. I specialize in helping women build strength, confidence, and a body they feel good in. After many years on a “get in shape” rollercoaster of quick fixes, gimmicks, and short-term results, I finally found the formula that led to my own 5-year transformation and became passionate about showing that strength training doesn’t have to be intimidating, extreme, or complicated. I coach with simple, effective lifts, proper form, real-life nutrition habits, and a sustainable approach that fits a busy lifestyle.
🌈 Although my specialty is helping women elevate their strength and confidence, I proudly welcome clients of all genders — including men, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ individuals. My coaching is inclusive, body-positive, and judgment-free. If you want a supportive space to grow, you’re welcome here.
💪 What I Offer: 1:1 personal training at Full Throttle Fitness (Polaris/Lewis Center), small group training for 2–4 clients, and mobile/in-home training if you prefer to work out in your own environment (home gym, apartment/community gym, or another approved gym; travel-based pricing applies).
✨ I also offer Elev8 custom airbrush spray tanning for clients who want to feel strong and glow with confidence, with exclusive Fit + Glow perks for training clients.
🧭 Coaching Style: Encouraging, real, and down-to-earth — no judgment, no ego, no extremes. Just proper form, sustainable strength work, accountability, and habits that fit your life.
🎯 Who I Work Best With: Women looking to build strength, feel toned, boost confidence, improve energy, learn proper lifting technique, build sustainable routines, or lose body fat safely — as well as men, non-binary clients, beginners, returning lifters, and anyone who values an inclusive and supportive environment.
💸 Pricing: Thumbtack requires ranges; final pricing depends on session type, location, and frequency. 1:1 personal training: $40–$60/hr. Small groups: $35–$45 per person. Mobile/in-home training: custom based on distance and setup. Spray tan add-ons: exclusive rates for PT clients. Packages and memberships available.
💫 Let’s elevate your strength, confidence, and lifestyle — one session at a time. Message me to book your intro session or ask questions. I’d love to help you get started.See more
