Katherine Johnson (a.k.a. KJ)- Spin Instructor, Aqua Certified, Group Fitness Certified

Growing up on Long Island, fitness and health has always been a large part of KJ's life. Since she was 16, she has been a lifeguard, a competitive swimmer, a surfer and a runner. KJ became NASM certified in personal training in 2004, and spent several years training clients at Mid City Gym in NYC. This also lead her to work for several sports nutrition companies, where she promoted their training supplements all over the five boroughs. After getting hooked on spinning at the gym, KJ became a certified Spinning instructor through Mad Dogg and started teaching. Her goal is to provide a high energy, well-rounded class called Insane Spin that inspires people to sweat, work to their potential and to achieve their highest fitness goals. In order to help students achieve their goals, each class is built with specifically cadenced music, so that the challenge is keeping up with the different beat of each song-at varying levels of resistance. Spin certification isn't all she is qualified to teach in. She also is certified in the following and teaches; Aqua, Bootcamp, Cardio Classes, Spinning and Group Fitness. Outside of fitness, KJ works in marketing for a major hotel group. She currently resides in her favorite neighborhood in Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen!
