Katheryn Sebastien-Roberts

I am a 30 year old female with a passion for health and fitness and nutrition.  I have been running and working out since high school, and I went to college and obtained a business degree.  I have worked as a business professional in the field of IT management while keeping fitness and working out as my hobby throughout.  Last year, while lifting weights under the supervision of a trainer, I fell with 205lbs on my shoulders and fractured two vertebrae and herniated a disc in my spine.  During my recovery, I came to the conclusion that I had missed my calling.  Fitness is my passion, and I wanted to instruct people on how to safely lose weight or gain fitness using proper form, technique and progressions.  I wanted to be the trainer that few had been for me.  Therefore, I obtained my GFI certification through ACE and began instructing friends at home for experience.  I'm currently back in school to obtain my Masters Degree in Sports Management, but many of my electives are focused on pyscology and physiology of exercise.
