Kathryn Stearns

I grew up in West Lafayette, Indiana, doing gymnastics and dance. When I was in high school, I started teaching step aerobics at our local YWCA. I developed a passion for several formats of group exercise and slowly earned certifications in each area of which I was interested.

I earned my Master of Science in Health and Fitness from Purdue University and moved to the Washington, DC area to pursue a career in corporate fitness. I managed a corporate fitness facility in Northwest DC for two years before making the transition into commercial fitness. I have been working for Sport&Health for two years and am just as passionate about group fitness as I was when I was working at the "Y" in Indiana. I recently underwent the Pilates Mat 1 training and will continue through Mat 2, Reformer 1, 2, and 3, and then start teaching out of our beautiful studio.

I am a runner; in my spare time, I like to train for and run races. I have completed a handful of half marathons and 8 marathons.
