Are you overwhelmed with the amount of health & fitness information you find online? Let’s simplify and get unstuck.
The MVMNT aims to empower and equip you no matter where you stand on your journey. Through our 1:1 coaching services and fitness professional continuing education programs, we’re here to inspire movement, growth, and community.
At The MVMNT, we understand the fitness industry can feel confusing & cumbersome.
One corner of the internet may say that lifting makes you bulky, but another corner says it will make you toned. Your My Fitness Pal auto-generates suggested macronutrients, but you’re hungry all of the time and start to wonder how accurate those numbers are.
Fitness professionals feel it, too! You’re a group fitness instructor or personal trainer who passed an expensive certification exam, but now you’re realizing how pricey just maintaining your credentials can be! There are so many group fitness specialty certifications to choose from, but what exactly are you paying for? The name, music, and choreography that doesn’t support your teaching style? The MVMNT makes continuing education affordable and convenient, and we promise our group fitness certification BXR gives more than it takes.
The MVMNT is your one-stop shop when it comes to your fitness journey – personal or career. The MVMNT was designed to be just that: a movement in the fitness industry to harness your power and live to your full potential.
Hi, I’m Kate
Since passing my Group Fitness Instructor certification exam in 2017, I have led thousands of individuals in movement with the goal of simultaneously celebrating both where they are and where they are going. I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit, which only grew during the COVID-19 pandemic when I started live streaming classes and cultivating a community of hundreds of individuals across the country in the midst of lockdown. In January of 2022, I started taking online 1:1 fitness and nutrition clients and continuing to build my business while completing my master’s and working as Assistant Director of Fitness at a large university.
By the Fall of 2023, I knew it was time to officially dive full-time into entrepreneurship and The MVMNT was born. The MVMNT is the product of my experiences and observations in the fitness industry over the past 10 years – as a client, coach, and manager.
I’m a follower of Jesus, enneagram 3 wing 2, ice cream connoisseur, and dog mom. I believe in doing both – eating healthy AND indulging in dessert, sometimes enjoying a mocktail AND sometimes a glass of wine, serving 1:1 clients AND my fellow fitness professionals.

I’ve always loved movement.
I took my first group fitness class in middle school, and by high school, you could always find me at kickboxing, dance, or spin after school if I didn’t have a tennis match. I counted down the days to when I’d turn 18 and be eligible to sit for my own group fitness instructor certification exam. My love of movement started from a beautiful place, but somewhere along the way between social media, diet culture, and the unfortunate pressure of being a young girl, things got a little blurry. I started thinking about how to burn every calorie I consumed. So many moments that should’ve been fun and relaxing, I drowned out with negative feelings of guilt and obsession over food and my body.
In 2020, the world shut down and fortunately, I was forced to face the reality I had been creating for myself. It took a high level of self-awareness, vulnerability, and support from a fitness and nutrition coach to rebuild a lifestyle that was healthy, sustainable, and filled with habits that left me energized rather than depleted. Fast forward a couple years and several more credentials, and I began helping clients of various backgrounds and ages implement sustainable lifestyle shifts, improve their relationship with food and their bodies, and reach their desired physiques. I am forever a believer that there is purpose in pain.
Even though I was struggling to love myself, I always loved movement. I started teaching kickboxing as a college freshman, and there wasn’t a format I hadn’t taught by my senior year. Throughout my fitness career, I’ve mentored hundreds of new group fitness instructors and personal trainers and found both a passion and skill for training and development. Over the years, I’ve consistently seen gaps when it comes to instructor community, affordable continuing education, and valuable incentives to maintain speciality certifications. I created The MVMNT as the solution – The MVMNT is a one-stop-shop for fitness coaching and continuing education. I’ve seen a lot in the fitness industry over the years and my goal is to equip and empower you wherever you are on your fitness journey – personal or career.
