About Katie

My name is Katie Adams-Marshall, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer. As my mom loves to say I never did love to walk, I just went from crawling to running. I've always loved being active and from a young age I developed a positive relationship with fitness. I played collegiate volleyball at Bellarmine University where I graduated with a BA in Exercise Science & Nutrition. I am also currently certified in pre natal and post natal fitness.After I hung up my collegiate jersey for the last time I was on to the next challenge, completing an Ironman. In 2019 I completed Ironman Louisville in the city I love surrounded by the people who helped me get to where I am today. The journey to these milestones hasn’t always been easy though. In college I realized I wasn't the only student-athlete dealing with the mental challenges it takes to perform at the top level in the classroom and on the court. The importance of positive mindsets and mental perseverance is something I try to ingrain into the athletes I work with. It truly does take time and practice! Being mindful of your body is one of the top skills an athlete can gain. Mindfulness of the body can include anything from sleep behavior, nutrition habits, being honest with mental health, honoring and accepting the body that lets you move, meditation, asking for help, and generating positivity and love to others. Educating and providing training to youth athletes with a focus on proper strength training, injury prevention, and mindset is one of my driving passions! I love to run and bike with my friends but rather hit the weights solo and just tune into my body for the day. Oh, and coffee and sunshine always make me happy.
