I have coached and trained athletes ages 10-70 in Oregon, Washington, Alabama and Texas with an emphasis on the high school athlete. I have worked with athletes training for soccer, football, baseball and lacrosse, but have an expertise in track and field. My focus is on helping athletes improve speed, agility, and running mechanics.

Kate took the time to get to know my daughter and her specific circumstances and objectives. She also provided some insightful feedback and work that we could take back on and use on our own. We are looking forward to finding additional opportunities to work with Kate again!

Coach Kate was personable, knowledgeable and a great communicator. I highly recommend her.

Was very knowledgeable and patient

We scheduled Kate to help our 10 year old son improve his sprinting mechanics for soccer. We couldn't be happier with the session. Kate observed our son's running technique, had him do some specific drills, and left us with some simple but very effective exercises and focus points to keep in mind after the session.

It's amazing how effective one session with Kate has been - by the end of the hour he looked noticeably faster! He is now running with better technique - and most importantly with substantially more confidence. We would recommend Kate to anyone.

Coach Kate was an excellent coach for my daughter, and tailored the time to exactly what we wanted! Very organized with the workouts and also varied them so that they were slightly different each time. Looking forward to working with her again soon!

Coach Kate has been tremendous. She's taken the time to understand our son's needs and then has adapted and developed a training program that serves his improvement. All this while also keeping it fun and engaging for him. He looks forward to and is excited about each upcoming session. We couldn't be happier.

My son just had his first session with Kate and he was pleasantly surprised at how much he improved his running technique. He really enjoyed working with Kate and wants to do so again.

Aside from being an experienced and professional coach, there are a few things I really like about Kate: she puts the needs of the athlete first, she has excellent communication skills (hard to find), she often participates in the activity rather than stand there and watch, she is reasonably priced, she is friendly and down to earth. Athletes: Kate is the real deal.

Coach Kate did an excellent job with my 13 year-old daughter. We will definitely purchase more sessions so that my daughter can focus on specific areas important for her advancement.

I would recommend Coach Kate without hesitation. She has coached me in sprint mechanics, practice drills and general conditioning. I believe her experience as a Div 1 college athlete has helped her become an effective coach. In my first meet I was able to achieve a personal best in the 200m. Coach Kate is flexible, skilled, patient and easy to work with.

My son's first session with Coach Kate was filled with great information for us as parents and our son said to give her a five star rating.

Kate "coached up" my 13 year old daughter with sprinting fundamentals. I appreciated Kate's professionalism and her ability to relate to my daughter. She clearly has the credentials but her ability to teach really made this session worth while. We are looking forward to seeing Coach Kate again.

Coach Kate is great to work with. My daughter saw improvement from the very first session. She is easy to work with and easy to understand.

My daughter made it to State with Coach Kate's help! Thanks Kate!

Kate Conwell is an excellent coach. Kate has strong command of the technical details of pole vault and can convey her experience and insights clearly. She has a grasp of individual needs, coaching both a boy and girl at the same time who are at very different levels, with no issues keeping them both engaged and progressing well. Kate has a firm but empathetic personal style that is motivating. And, she has the chops -- having accomplished a great deal in pole vault herself. She speaks with authority, from experience, and she gets results. We love working with Kate.

I started working out with Kate when I was 45. She was my very first personal trainer and had to teach me everything from scratch. She put a lot of work into designing workouts that matched my short, medium and long-range goals. While too challenging to strictly be called fun, her workouts are never boring so the time tends to pass quickly. She mixes it up a lot and is a master at working multiple muscle groups with a single exercise and at using equipment creatively. She has the knowledge and experience to work her clients hard without injury, which was important to me. In addition to the workouts, Kate was a great resource on nutrition and healthy choices in general, and a super role model. Thanks to Kate I tightened up, increased my strength, flexibility and balance, and ran a marathon. She would still be my trainer if she weren’t 2500+ miles away; I cannot recommend her highly enough!
When first meeting with Kate, we talked about my goals and what I wanted to achieve from working with a personal trainer. She was able to customize workouts to the goals that I had. After working with Kate for a few months I was able to achieve all of my goals. She was able to give me the confidence I needed to continue a healthy lifestyle. Working out with Kate is fun and rewarding and she inspired me to live a healthier lifestyle.
