OUR STORY

We’re here to walk you down a journey to help you realise your full potential by living a confident and balanced lifestyle. Our mission is to emphasize self-awareness, mindfulness, self-care, and positive relationships. Our purpose is to help you own your body by constantly reminding you of how truly capable you are.

HELLO GORGEOUS

My name is Kathleen (you can call me Kath) I am passionate about empowering people with the knowledge and skills to change their lives through fitness and a healthy lifestyle. As a Personal trainer, EMS instructor, ex-professional athlete and ballerina, I know about the obsession of obtaining the “Perfect Body”. The truth is, we may never see ourselves as being “perfect”, but I believe that when you finally convince your mind that the key to your happiness will be through working towards a consistently healthy lifestyle, then your “perfect body” and confidence will follow!

While working alongside many female clients and colleagues, it became apparent that many women feel confused and misinformed when it comes to reaching their goals. There are infinite ‘fad diets’ and influencers telling you what to eat and how to stay fit. To be honest with you, I used to be one of those girls. As time passed I finally realized that every time I finished a challenge, I may have looked great but soon fell back into my old habits. This is a dangerous cycle that most women fall into – I’m here to help you change that.

WHY WE STARTED

we're here for you

I decided to partner up with a team of experts on nutrition and health, ensuring our programs are scientific and result-orientated. It’s vital that we understand the most current scientific information with regards to what our bodies do with the food we eat, what happens if we eat too much or too often and how we can use this knowledge to permanently change our lifestyles. AktivBody aims to help people realize that restrictive and crash diets or training methods are not necessarily the best solution.

We are not advocates for anything exclusionary but we are advocates of a healthy, sustainable and balanced lifestyle. I am here to help as many women as possible by educating and providing you with the correct tools to achieve your personal goals. AktivBody has a massive focus on you – we want you to live a life of confidence and happiness.

MEET THE TEAM

we're a family

AktivBody was founded by 4 like-minded women. All working full-time corporate jobs, we understand that the relationship between careers, personal life, and fitness are difficult to juggle. We embrace our bodies for all that they are – strong, healthy and worthy of every curve. Get to know us a little more personally below.

KATHLEEN

AKA:  

the loudest person in the room

My name is Kathleen and I’m not afraid to say things, how they are. I talk the hind leg off of a donkey and love making people laugh. I treasure close friends and family and will never say no to a day with good friends, good food and good wine! My body has always been my instrument in life, and it hasn’t been easy keeping it tuned and well oiled. I’ve struggled through many injuries and health problems while having it constantly criticized and striving for perfection in my previous career. I am on this journey with you and together we’re defeatless.

Angie

AKA:  

the health encyclopedia 

My name is Angela, I’m a mom of 7 (5 are rescued dogs) and was a nursing sister for most of my life. I’ve worked in homoeopathy and dieting for the last 10 years and only started my health journey at the age of 50. Up until recently, I never exercised a day in my life and had no control over my sweet tooth. I started off VERY slowly, but today I am 20kg lighter, love running with my dogs and husband, and using my knowledge on the body to keep me healthy. I am here to help educate you on how to find your balance and prioritize your happiness. You are never too old to start!

Natalie

AKA:  

your community therapist & dog obsessed girl

My name is Natalie but you can call me Nat. I am Kath’s older sister and bestfriend to Kelly. I was a professional swimmer, but unfortunately, I have not been lucky with health. I had high cortisol levels and epilepsy which resulted in weight gain. Since then it has been a long journey to lose the weight and keep it off. Kath has helped me immensely with training and nutrition – I have finally found a balance in enjoying food and cocktails with no guilt. I hope you can find the balance I have. I am here to support you with whatever you may need.
