Katherine Soares

I am a lifelong resident of New York City. I have also been involved in the fitness industry here since the late 1990's. I took several years away from paid work to raise my two daughters, now 15 and 12. During that time, I remained active as a runner, completing many races of varying distances. I also remained active as a weigh lifter and was sure to keep informed on the latest trends, research and best practices. Around 2012 I decided to re-certify as a personal trainer and began freelancing in and around the area in which I live. Subsequently, I decide to re-certify as a spin instructor and dove headfirst back into teaching indoor cycling. It is a format of group exercise that I love and thoroughly enjoy teaching. I enjoy the challenge of keeping classes fresh and exciting while being confined to one piece of equipment. I adhere closely to my certification and teach in a style that closely resembles actual road cycling. I use science based research to build challenging and modifiable programs that any rider can complete. 

I have build a reputation as a compassionate, approachable and knowledgable instructor and trained. My years of experience has granted me perspective on exercise that people find easy to understand and adapt to themselves. Being able to impart the distinction between lifestyle adaptation and quick fix schemes is an important part of my approach. I get endless joy from being able to help people move into healthier places in their lives.
