What Clients Say

If you want to get faster on the erg, this is exactly what you need. I was putting in the meters on the water but not seeing my splits drop. The rowing-specific lifting program she put together completely changed that. I'm pulling significantly better numbers now, and my back feels bulletproof. Highly recommend if you want coaching from someone who really gets what it takes to move a boat.

Alan, 32

Rowing client

I was honestly a bit nervous about starting a new exercise routine in my 50s, but working with Catherine has been amazing. She didn't just hand me a generic workout; she really listened to what I needed and made sure I was doing everything safely. I haven't felt this strong, energetic, or confident in my own body in years. It has completely changed my day-to-day life!
