Katrina Kelly discovered fitness through a calling to help others live healthier, stronger, and more independent lives. While her professional background began in social work and counseling, her passion eventually led her into the fitness industry, where she now combines her experience supporting people through life’s challenges with evidence-based functional fitness coaching.
At Your Personal Best Training Studio, Katrina enjoys helping adults over 50 build strength, improve confidence, and continue doing the activities they love. She believes every workout is an opportunity to celebrate progress, no matter how small, and strives to create an encouraging environment where every client feels welcomed, supported, and successful.
Although Katrina initially found YPB through what she calls “a happy accident,” she quickly realized she had found exactly where she belonged.
“There is no other place I’d rather be at the end of my day.”
Her coaching style is built around positivity, encouragement, and helping people focus on what they can do rather than what they can’t. Clients appreciate her upbeat energy and genuine enthusiasm for celebrating every victory along the journey.
Katrina’s own life has reinforced just how important movement is. After undergoing two neck surgeries and extensive reconstruction of her right leg, she experienced firsthand how strength training and consistent movement can restore confidence, improve quality of life, and support both physical and mental well-being.
She also serves as a caregiver for her mother, who is living with Parkinson’s disease. That experience has given Katrina an even deeper appreciation for the role that strength, balance, and mobility play in maintaining independence as we age.
Outside the studio, Katrina enjoys roller skating and spent six years competing in professional roller derby. She also loves spending time with her dogs and treasures the close relationships she shares with her grown children, one of her greatest sources of pride.
Katrina believes that every day we choose to show up for ourselves is a victory.
“Every day you choose to move is a win. As long as we keep moving forward, we’re doing something right.”
At Your Personal Best Training Studio, Katrina is passionate about helping our members stay strong, active, and independent so they can continue traveling, playing with grandchildren, enjoying hobbies, and living life with confidence for years to come. She believes functional fitness isn’t simply about exercising—it’s about preserving the freedom to live the life you love.
