About Kathy

Hi, I’m Kathy Leake and I have been a personal trainer since 2000.

My interest in fitness began at a very early age with gymnastics and competitive swimming and soon after, I found my love for the gym and weights. I initially took the personal training program for personal knowledge, and quickly realized it was what I should make my career. Since that day, I haven’t looked back and have been loving every day!

I’m available for fun and challenging one-on-one private training sessions in a relaxed, professional home studio.

Personal Training with me, you can expect a challenging, yet balanced approach. It encompasses not only weight training but guidance for overall health and wellness, nutritional counseling, and functional fitness for everyday living.

For me, to be able to pass my knowledge along to people to help them achieve their goals – whatever those may be – is the greatest feeling! I have trained clients with many different needs and varied goals, from men and women with weight loss as a focus, post-injury clients, teens trying for scholarships, elite athletes, people training to climb Mt. Everest, and everyone in between.

With a calm and patient approach, my goal is to help everyone I work with realize that fitness CAN be fun – especially once your goals start becoming results!

STOP WISHING START DOING

Congratulations to our amazing friend and client Ina, on winning her third consecutive medal in the Paralympics!

Testimonials

I worked with Kathy as my personal trainer for over a year...

I not only got in great shape, lost weight and inches but had a blast doing it. Kathy is an excellent trainer and works your butt off but the results are totally worth it. She is a super friendly person with a great sense of humour and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a serious knowledgeable and fun trainer.

As a physiotherapist who’s been at fitness & sports injuries for (alas) a long while, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with Kathy Leake, both professionally & personally...

There’s absolutely no doubt that she puts every ounce of focus into those she trains. Her spotting of postures and cuing to correct the bio mechanics of whom she’s training, are bang-on.She’s so focused on her clients, I often couldn’t even catch her eye when at the Gym doing my own workout. The clientele that Kathy has sent me to treat really demonstrates her keen awareness for when, for example, a ‘Boot camp’ gal needs to be properly assessed to ensure appropriateness for their participation. Her knowledge of anatomy & physiology plus that of experience demonstrates she really knows when to tap into the rehab side of things – completely protecting her clients.

She gets two (2) thumbs up from me. And, in summary, I would be very comfortable sending any of my discharged for independent athletes to be under her supervision whilst ‘getting back on track’. Thanks, Kathy, for all you do in the promotion of health and wellness

Cindy PT

I was very fortunate to train with Kathy for 2 years. In that time I lost 50lbs, became much stronger, healthier, and most importantly, happier...

Her workouts are fun and constantly evolving, testing you with every workout. She has a great way of pushing you so you can achieve your goals and see incredible results without that feeling of a drill sergeant looming over you. I felt very comfortable as an out of shape newcomer coming to a gym for the first time. You aren’t just a number with her; she truly cares about your progress and how you feel throughout your journey. Her knowledge is impressive, personality is amazing, and I couldn’t think of someone better to get you on track and keep you there.

I trained with Kathy for just over one year and can’t begin to express how amazing the experience was...

I had been to other trainers and tried all types of workouts on my own and had never achieved the fitness level I wanted. In just a short time working with Kathy, I had never felt stronger, healthier, or more confident. Kathy’s friendly, easy going personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. She makes each workout challenging, creative and most importantly, fun! She also places a high value on correct form with each exercise which is something I greatly valued. She motivated me to push past my perceived limits to get results.

If you want to take a step towards your fitness journey, or are looking for someone to keep you on track, Kathy is a committed and supportive trainer who will help you each step of the way!

Brittany

She is a mean evil (bi%%#) who put me into the best shape I had been in years with more energy than I had ever had...

She has specific exercises that she uses, such as head bangers and 21’s. OH trust me, they work amazingly well. I’ve had a weight problem my whole life. Kathy made me understand the quality, quantity and what each food group does and does not do for you. And WOW boy did I lose weight and I am never hungry. I am in Ontario, and since Kathy moved back to BC, I have had a terrible accident and I have been on the phone often with Kathy. She has helped me through 2 years of hell.

I am just starting to lose the weight again that I put on laying in a bed for 19mths and now with her help can go up and down steps again. Thanks Kathy miss you! PS: the (bi%%#) part was her pushing you to your ability that she knows you can do!!

James S

I am one of those people who have really good intentions when it comes to working out...

I usually have great plans as to my next exercise regimen and if I actually implement my plan, it usually fizzles in a couple of weeks. Kathy has been my personal trainer now for about 6 months and I am still going!! That fact alone says it all. She really knows her stuff. It is always changing and challenging – we laugh – I cry, but most importantly I have seen results. It would take a lot for me to miss my workout. Thanks Kathy.

My Top 5 Results:
1) I can now lift things heavier than a pencil over my head.
2) My arm no longer keeps waving after my hand has stopped.
3) I can now do 20 minutes of housework and gardening without needing a 2 hour nap.
4) I do have an ass – it is slowly rising up from my ankles.
5) My posture is less like a question mark – approaching an exclamation mark!
