Testimonials
Every person comes to training with a different body, needs, and goals. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to feeling stronger and supporting your overall wellbeing. Here are some of the stories my clients have shared about working with me, the progress they’ve made, and finding an approach that truly works for them.

- This client of mine came to me in agony. She would go to the chiropractor for her lower back and hip pain, and within a couple of days, she'd be in pain again. We have worked together for 12 weeks, and she is now pain free, feeling energetic, and can move freely! She has also improved her digestion and her inflammation levels have reduced significantly.

- Pain has been an on going experience for Danielle, but recently, with some additional shifts in mindset and nutrition, her pain has significantly reduced. She has also noticed her recovery and strength are improving, and she is now even doing deadlifts without pain! I have thoroughly enjoyed helping her improve her strength, mobility and quality of life.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
These Stories Mean the World
I can tell you about my approach, but sometimes it means more to hear directly from the people I’ve worked with.

“Katie is amazing! Her knowledge and passion about health and fitness is A+ and she puts in so much work to tailor work outs and recipes for her clients. I’ve been seeing Katie since the beginning of the year and am so much healthier thanks to her guidance. You will not regret choosing Katie!!”
Jess Clarkson
“Over the years, I’ve trained with many different professionals, and Katie is the best! My strength, flexibility and overall health have improved significantly by working with Katie. Her focus on technique has had notable benefits to staying injury free. You are in safe, capable hands with Katie.”
Lynda McKie
“Since training with Katie I have improved my strength in areas that I didn’t even realised I needed to. Physically my core is stronger, my posture is better, I have less pain in my neck and shoulders, and I am functionally stronger and fitter than I have been in many years.”
YvetteProfessional & mum
“Only until I began to train with Katie as my Personal Trainer have I experienced permanent pain relief. Having recently had breakthroughs in having zero back pain when I squat or zero shoulder pain when I bench, I can’t recommend Katie enough. She’s straight up a miracle worker.”
Ben GeyerLabourer
“I contacted Katie to review my diet and help achieve some key weight loss goals. Katie helped me make changes that focused on better eating patterns and selecting foods that were nutritious, not processed. I have achieved my target of dropping 12kg, and generally being healthy and strong.”
Tim PulsfordAccountant

“I really value Katie’s focus on technique and building strength sustainably. Katie is also personally committed to seeing the people she trains meet their health and fitness goals – and she’s willing to meet people where they are to help them grow. Definitely recommend.”
Sarah A.Bureaucrat
“Katie has an approach to health that is holistic, something I think many of us struggle with today. I think more about many aspects of health and I have Katie to thank for that. Thank you for working with me over the last few months Katie, I would highly recommend you to others.”
Liam HackettPhysician
“I connected with Katie about 6 months ago to get fit and lose weight for my daughter’s wedding. With Katie’s help, I did it, I felt so proud of what I (we) achieved. It’s still a work in progress, but I feel fit, healthy, vibrant and relaxed like never before!”
Sue Johnson
“Working with Katie has been an amazing experience. Katie has helped me design and build my dream body and understand proper nutrition. She has helped me gain the confidence I needed to be able to work out independently at the gym and manage and return even stronger from injury.”
Eirini Fronis
“Katie is one of the most knowledgeable PT’s I have ever had! I had no technique what so ever when I started, now Katie has given me the strength I needed and a new sense of pain with muscles I didn’t know existed!! Her guidance with the nutrition side of it as well has been fantastic!!! Thanks Katie!!!”
Tabitha Gordon

“Katie is an awesome personal trainer. She gets 5 stars both for the ‘personal’ and the ‘trainer’. When a Personal Trainer takes the time to know you – you certainly get the most out of the training. I would highly recommend Katie.”
Julie McLellanCEO
“When I started with Katie 2 months ago, I was in the worst physical and mental state of my life so far. Katie created a very comfortable environment to help me regain my life back. Katie takes a holistic approach, covering all of the bases from personal training and nutrition to healing from within.”
Raegan Seaward
“Katie changed my life. I met Katie when I was completely intimidated by gym equipment but knew I needed to do something to get through my work days without injury. After working with Katie I can move through life and work with ease and really enjoy going to the gym for a workout.”
Gillian KerrLibrarian
“I have been training with Katie for 1 year. If she hadn’t led me, I wouldn’t have been to the gym for a year. She helped me diligently every time by teaching me how to exercise and the proper posture. For beginners like me who find it difficult to start, I highly recommend learning exercises from her.”
Hanna Kim
“Katie has been my trainer for many years now and the thing I love about her in particular is that she is an expert in resolving injuries I’ve had along the way. She always knows how to adapt the training program to fix niggles or pain points and her attention to detail is unmatched.”
Michael PriceEngineer

“Since training with Katie I’ve improved my strength in areas that I didn’t even realised I needed to. Physically my core is stronger, my posture is better, I have less pain in my neck and shoulders, and I am functionally stronger and fitter. I have learned to take care of my body and drink lots of water!”
Yvette Wirken
“Until I started training with Katie, I learned how to use my body and get that balance back in my life! The personal training program and Katie’s positive attitude made me find the better version of myself again. Katie helped me to reach my fitness goals and made me feel better every week!”
Gert-Jan BlauwEngineer
“My goal in 2022 was to gain strength and confidence in my body’s ability. Since starting with Katie I’ve been able to smash that goal and many more! I can lift weights and switch on muscles I didn’t even know existed! I now have the energy and knowledge I could only wish for. I can’t thank her enough.”
Jaimi Abraham
“I competed in a 30 day challenge with Katie. For those 30 days I ate more fruit, cut out alcohol, tried to cut almost all oil out of my diet and eat plant based. The results were amazing. I was able to lift heavier and workout for longer without feeling ‘faint’ or exhausted.
Nicole StavrouStudent
“Training with Katie has been a major improvement to my health and has greatly enhanced my ability to perform at work. I have more energy, am more focussed and my posture has improved thanks to her individualised and targeted training plans.”

“Katie has been my personal trainer since the beginning of this year and I can honestly say she is fantastic. Her patience, kindness, commitment and her professionalism has encouraged me and made me feel safe while training. She has gently pushed me to go further than I thought I could and as a result I have gained strength and confidence in my movements. In addition, Katie has encouraged me to make small changes to my diet, for example increasing my water intake, eating more fruit and increasing my intake of green vegetables (I now love kale!). I have more energy, no more brain fog and as a bonus I have lost weight! Thank you so much Katie! I can highly recommend Katie Henderson as your Personal Trainer.”
Jeanne Staggs“I have been training with Katie for over a year now and have had the best experience. I began with her to help with overall body composition working on strength to help with back and neck pain and some weight-loss. However about 6 months in to seeing her I fell pregnant and we transitioned into focussing on helping my body adapt to the changes it was going through. Katie was great at programming depending on how I was feeling and we worked out weekly until I was 36 weeks pregnant. Working out with Katie throughout my pregnancy helped manage pelvic pain that I developed around 16 weeks and kept me feeling strong throughout my pregnancy resulting in little to no back pain throughout.”
Julia Michel, Architect“I was referred to Katie by a friend of my husband, who is also a trainer. He thought she would be a good fit for me, and he was so right. I’ve been training with Katie for over a year now and I am stronger than I’ve ever been – and this translates to improved energy throughout the week, better posture and movement, and improvements in the niggly neck pain I get from having a desk job.
I really value Katie’s focus on technique and building strength sustainably. Katie is also personally committed to seeing the people she trains meet their health and fitness goals – and she’s willing to meet people where they are to help them grow. Definitely recommend.”Sarah A, Bureaucrat“I’ve been training with Katie for around 18 months. Katie is an exceptional personal trainer! I used to have regular gout attacks, asthma, & was always a little over my desired weight, but these conditions & my fitness has improved incredibly over the past 12 months & I enjoy a whole range of activities outside the gym now. Our workouts are challenging enough, progressive & I truly feel her genuine concern for my well being & fitness. Additional qualified advice on nutrition & the mechanics of why we do exercises a certain way, based on my personal situation. It’s so important to choose the right professional people in your life. Highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for real transformation!”
David Curran, Business owner“Thank you so very much Katie for the support you’ve given me in my PT/Nutrition journey for the last 2-3 years, it’s been nothing short of amazing and so very, very helpful. I never thought I’d feel comfortable in a gym vs classes, and see and feel real difference in strength and mobility and have the confidence to up level in between PT session training. The nutrition advice you’ve given me has been life changing, I always though of myself as a healthy eater, however, you’ve helped me take it to the next level and understand my body and the food relationship with health and wellbeing, not to mention longevity. Thank you, you’ve set a very high bar indeed for anyone in this industry and I am so grateful to have found you.”
Mary-Ann Pascoe, Counsellor“I have been working with Katie Henderson for 2 years and feel the best I’ve ever felt. I have a history of chronic back and neck pain that has never allowed me to do any weights without pain. I did not want a ‘personal trainer’ that did not understand my needs and was very skeptical at first but Katie has taken me steadily through programs that have gradually strengthened me enough to be able to now lift weights. She has focused on my vulnerabilities but has gently progressed me to a place where I feel more confident in the gym. Katie is also a nutritionist and dietitian and has encouraged me to improve my diet and water intake which in turn has helped my overall goal to feel stronger and healthier! I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
