Hey! I’m Kat!

I am the creator of Foxfit Body

I am passionate about health, fitness and your overall wellbeing. However most of all I am strongly motivated to help you reach your health and fitness goals.

I am originally country girl, growing up in a small town in the North East Victoria called Yackandandah. Always having a very active lifestyle as a child being involved with different sports such as Auskick, Gymnastics, Circus Training, Swimming, Calisthenics and my all time favourite Horse Riding.

I spent 9 years doing Calisthenics in a competitive team.

“It taught me how to carry myself, have confidence, work with different personalities. I loved the feeling of butterflies while you’re standing side of stage waiting, then the music starts and the butterflies go away and you get a “It’s time” moment and once your toe crosses the line its all lights on you”.

I gave up Calisthenics to follow my passion of Equestrian Riding. Competing in local competitions around the district in One and Three Day Events on my noble steed Wilga – Dash (a beautiful ex racehorse) I qualified to compete at the State Championships held at The National Equestrian Centre located in Werribee, Victoria in my first year of competing.

I spent the following years travelling around from competition to competition each weekend with my mother and sister competing in different levels. When I wasn’t competing I was working for a prestigious Competitive Stud in Shepparton learning and upskilling for each Eventing Season (plus mucking out all the stalls and smelling extra lovely by the end of the day).

2012 was set to be a very big and exciting year for. Little did I know that it wasn’t going to turn out how she expected. On the 5th February 2012, approximately at 4.30 in the afternoon my world was literally thrown from the back of a utility head first onto a bitumen road. Witnesses in the area called for 000 as I was convulsing on the road with blood running from her ear. I was rushed to Albury Base Hospital where I was in an induced coma and flown to The Royal Melbourne Hospital where I spent the following weeks in a coma and on life support.

I had suffered severe head injuries including:

• 2 x complete fractures in the side of the skull (one being 6mm wide)
• A depressed fracture
• Severe bleeding on the right frontal lobe of the brain
• Displacement of the brain and brain stem

I was able to survive the tragedy but could never go back to equestrian life I had made for herself. I chose to move to Melbourne in the July/August of 2012 and “start life over”. I have spent the last 5 years regaining strength and working with other fitness professionals to be able to help more people achieve their health and fitness goals.

I am not just another Personal Trainer. I have walked the hard yards. I literally had to learn to stand before I could walk, walk before I could run. I believes that Personal Training is more than just exercising and eating good food its about creating good habits and enjoying life to its full potential as things can change at any moment.
