About Me

This is always the most awkward blog entry, isn't it? I mean, there are so many ways I could approach this! I could take the funny self-deprecating route... I could be completely serious and just give you the facts.. I could even make everything up loosely based on my own realities, and you'd never know!

I will give you the (mainly true) facts with a dash of italicized humor thrown into the mix.

At my convocation, November 2012,
looking mighty serious 

My name is Kat Ciecierska and I am a twenty-something-year-old entrepreneur trying to make it big in the fitness industry as a vegan. All in all, I can safely say I know a thing or two when it comes to fitness. Since my late teens, I have committed my life to educating myself around proper (vegan and carnivorian) nutrition, healthy living, and kick ass training to finally get those six-pack abs I feel I deserve by now. I graduated from the University of British Columbia with an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Kinesiology throughout which I dabbled in psychology, human nutrition, and just for shits and giggles, family studies.

By the end of my degree I was ready to take on the big, scary world of entrepreneurship. After a few trial and errors, I started my own fitness company called Train with Kat (www.trainwithkat.ca).

I work with a variety of men and women all at different stages of their lives and fitness levels. From post-rehab to weekend warriors, I love 'em all!  Naturally I gravitate towards women ranging from their early twenties to late thirties, because, as the psychology classes taught me, we are attracted to those who reflect ourselves. In all seriousness though, I love empowering women to not only GET stronger but to FEEL stronger, and more confident within their own bodies.

At the Lions, summer of 2012. Now THERE'S a hike!

From hiking, to last minute outdoor playground boot camp workouts with my friends, very rarely am I sitting still. I'm proud to say that I am a total fitness enthusiast. I choose power walks over power naps, kale over cookies (most of the time), and for the most part, I embody that annoying friend of yours who's health-obsessed. So get ready to slap me, because this blog is dedicated to all that is healthy in my life... My workouts, my eating habits, and most recently, my yoga experiences!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading :)
