CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“I have worked out with a variety of personal trainers for 15 years, the last 5 with Katrina Lopez, so I can say without a doubt from personal experience, Katrina is one of the best. Katrina is a total professional and brings her solid knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and training techniques to each session. Sessions with Katrina are never “cookie cutter”— I have seen her work with people of all ages, backgrounds, and physical conditions and she tailors each session to her client’s individual needs, goals, and abilities. Katrina is always upbeat, energetic, and encouraging -- her enthusiasm is contagious. As a competitive lifter herself, she is admired and respected by other trainers throughout the valley. If you are looking for an outstanding training experience, I assure you that Katrina will fulfill all your expectations and more.”
— Marco Cicerone
“Having worked with Katrina for several years, I can attest that she is an excellent Personal Trainer. She is reliable, well-trained, and carefully assesses her clients' strengths and weaknesses. Katrina appears to always be on the alert for health issues that could impact a client's well-being. With an outgoing, cheerful personality, she makes working out enjoyable, not a chore. I would highly recommend her.”
— Allen Mardorf
“Katrina has been my trainer for 6 years. She has taken me from a retiree who could not get up off the floor to a strong, active Senior. She is knowledgeable, dependable, consistent, and encouraging - always helps me move up to the next level of strength and balance.”
— Peggy G.
“I have enjoyed working with Katrina Lopez for the last few years. She understands the medical and age challenges I present and has found multiple ways of helping me build strength and endurance. She varies and calibrates my routine while carefully watching my movements. I’m not one who loves facing exercise, but every time I see her I leave our sessions feeling better. This is because Katrina is always upbeat and optimistic and that attitude is very contagious.”
— Kathy Caine
“I've been training with Katrina on and off for about 5 years now. I can honestly say that she is the ultimate professional. I suffer from back pain and knee pain and she works with me to ensure I don't hurt myself while at the same time ensuring I get the best workout possible. If you want results, she will definitely produce results. Katrina is the best!”
— Doug Aparicio
“I’ve been training with Katrina for 2 year and onto year 3. That pretty much says it all. Katrina is all business, but she makes it fun which is equally important to me. When you finish your workout, you know you have had a workout. It’s tough, but love the result.”
— Valorie Haley
“Katrina has so much patience with me at my age (83). My health has improved due to workouts with her.”
— Rita Steffen
“There are no words that will describe the gratitude I have for Katrina. She is not only one of the best personal trainers but an amazing human being who is passionate about what she does. She was there each and every step of the way throughout my fitness journey. Everytime I felt like giving up (which were several) she was there to remind me how far I’ve come. Katrina thank you for helping and guiding me to feel and look the best I have ever felt.”
— Maria Mora
“I started training with Katrina in 2016 and over the last five years, I have never felt more fit. Her routines are always challenging and she varies them so that you are never bored. Katrina is a great teacher, taking the time to explain an exercise and motivating you to do better. She is a professional with an outgoing, friendly personality and who loves her job.”
— George Bagdon
“Back in 2017, Katrina was my trainer. She was very knowledgeable and precise in her way of training. Being an older person she took that into consideration to a limit. Once Katrina knows your limitations, she will push you to the max and that's a good thing. Anyone that chooses Katrina as their trainer, they will have made an excellent choice. She is kind and thoughtful and has a heart of gold.”
— Judy Dixon
Katrina is my “go-to” coach. She takes my personal goals and makes it her goal to get me there. Our sessions are never easy, but always productive. Katrina is the best!”
— Cherie Gruenfeld
"Let me start by saying I met Katrina under awkward circumstances. My previous trainer up and bailed,handing me off to a complete stranger. However, pretty quickly, working with Katrina actually became fun, something to look forward to, and turned a loathsome experience into something profoundly positive. Katrina doesn’t just help you move weights around, she's supportive, patient, and most of all annoyingly optimistic about your growth. Since meeting her, she has gone from random person, to trusted trainer/coach, to a really good friend. If you're even on the fence about working with her, stop. Do it. It's some of the best money you'll ever spend.
