Hi, I'm Kellie.
If you want to get to know me a little bit, read on.😊
First and foremost, I'm a wife, a 3 dog and 1 cat mom, and we live in the middle of nowhere... just the way we like it. Beach living was an incredible chapter of our lives, but we eventually found our way back home to Central New York, where we have a lot of space, green grass, woods, and neighbors that are very far away. 😆
I'm also a big sister to two little bros. I'm sure you can understand why one of my favorite memes is the one that says: "Man of the house (firstborn daughter)." 😂
I earned my degree in Business Administration and spent four years in sales and finance management before making the jump into the fitness industry.
I've been coaching since 2016 and hold certifications as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Tactical Conditioning Specialist (International Sports Sciences Association), and Precision Nutrition Coach.
Over the years, I've helped literally thousands of people become stronger, faster, healthier, and better looking naked.
I started by running a hometown bootcamp, then owned a small group training facility in Mt. P (Charleston), SC, then during COVID times, I ended up fully online. That allowed me to reach sooo many people!
For six years, I worked for an online fitness company serving law enforcement. I started as a coach and eventually became Director, leading our coaching, content, and marketing teams while helping build health and wellness programs used by police officers around the world.
My current favorite venture: I'm the co-owner of CK Maceworks, where we build handmade, plate loadable steel maces and clubs right here in the USA.
Outside of fitness, I invest in some real estate, with a rental properties in New York's Finger Lakes region (if you ever visit the area, be sure to hit me up for a cool place to stay!)
I genuinely love building businesses. Creating systems, solving problems, marketing, coaching, and watching an idea turn into something that helps people be better is one of the most rewarding things I get to do. Being a digital entrepreneur is pretty hard to beat.
On the personality spectrum, I'm definitely on the Type A side. But like... a funny Type A, because laughing is mandatory. We can't take life too seriously, but I'll also definitely lose sleep over a to do list.
I love to train. I love music. Mountain biking and gravel biking. Love hiking, house projects, animals, and reading. Speaking of house projects... I have about 25+ houseplants that I somehow keep alive. 🪴
These days I'm focused on continuing to grow my businesses, creating great products, coaching great people, and connecting with people who enjoy building a life they're excited to wake up to.
That's probably plenty for the internet to know about me. If you want to chat, be sure to shoot me a message in one of the many places you can contact me. Here on the site or Instagram is best bet.
Thanks for being here!

I've been a fan of barefoot shoes for a very long time now. Vivobarefoot makes minimalist shoes that allow your feet to move more naturally, with plenty of room for your toes to spread and your feet to do what they're designed to do. They're a staple in my everyday life and training, year round, no matter the season or conditions.
