Katie Lucas
Katie's Bio
Hey there, nice to meet you! I’m Katie, and fitness is my ultimate joy! I’ve been immersed in the world of fitness since I was 3 years old when I nailed my first splits at dance class. I’ve danced, taught dance, and even had the amazing opportunity to join the Ubisoft Just Dance team in 2017-2018. Plus, I’m a second-dan black belt in Taekwondo! When I’m not hitting the gym or exploring new hiking trails, you’ll find me enjoying yoga, gaming online, or taking long walks with my dogs.
I’m certified with NASM as a Personal Trainer, hold a Yoga certification with 200 hours of training, and am also a Nutrition Coach, Group Fitness Coach, and Content Creator. Whether you’re aiming for weight loss, muscle gain, stability training, yoga practice, or just need some fitness guidance, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s crush those goals together!
