Catherine has worked in the health, fitness space for more than 12 years.

Her area of expertise is working with perimenopausal people. And helping women to prepare their body and mind ahead of those years.

She’s helped more than 700 women feel strong, prioritise their health, and prove to themselves they can do hard things - all without diet and exercise taking over their life.

Her career started out with studying BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Science at the University of Stirling.

During this time she became a fully accredited Personal Trainer, Gym Instructor and completed a dissertation looking at the effects of capsaicin supplementation on muscle power.

She’s an EIQ Nutrition certified Nutritionist and also completed several group training certificates from TRX Suspension training, to indoor cycling and aqua-aerobics (you heard that right).

Catherine worked at the University of Stirling gym for several years, coaching clients face-to-face and delivering fitness classes; she also lead the gym staff and co-managed the building and design of a new gym and fitness class timetables.

During the pandemic she started coaching clients online and went on to study nutrition, becoming a certified EIQ Nutritionist.

Further to this she worked in a large UK-based online coaching team with ESG Fitness for two years, which gave her experience helping 100s of people in 1-1 and group settings to achieve their goals, with a particular emphasis on supporting perimenopausal people.

When gyms were closed during the pandemic, Catherine lead the staff in the creation of an online fitness class timetable where university students and community members could connect and exercise with others on Zoom - this soon exploded in popularity and had participants joining in from across the globe.

Before Catherine finished working at Stirling University, she collaborated on a project with European Universities to launch the Erasmus+ funded Mind Body Boost, which delivers an evidence-based intervention devised to support young people in managing their mental and physical health.

Not only does she practise using a science-based approach, she goes one step further and applies her knowledge on a practical level with real people living real lives! She bridges the gap between science and real life application, all whilst making it enjoyable and aligning with each individual person's values.

Catherine’s values, experience and knowledge shapes her approach to coaching and life in general, and it’s what makes her different to other online coaches. The approach is truly collaborative!

The mission with Catherine Kerr Fitness is to give you the tools and the confidence you need to make long term health and fitness changes so you can create a life you enjoy.

Believe your best years can begin now, and overcome the overwhelm that comes with all the myths, fads and misinformation out there.
