Biography

Early Years

Katya spent her youth training to be a cheerleader, saying she was always “fit and healthy”. However, while she enjoyed this sport, she was never fully happy with the body it gave her – always aspiring to have a toned, and curvy physique.

Her cheerleading workouts took up a lot of time, which were heavily focused on cardio. This prevented her from adding any significant muscle in the gym, as she couldn’t maintain a calorie surplus. Because of this, she decided to stop cheerleading altogether.

Katya’s Progress

When Katya stopped cheerleading, she knew exactly how she wanted to look, but didn’t know where to start. Luckily for Katya, her mother was a personal trainer with years of experience. She took Katya under her wing, teaching her new techniques in the gym. Katya says, “I was blessed with a wonderful mother who is also, luckily, a personal trainer”.

The more Katya learnt about proper nutrition, supplementation, and weight-lifting from her mother, the more she “fell in love with it”. She enjoyed the planning that went into creating an effective workout plan, along with the results it gave her as she progressed.
