MEET THE TEAM

kate lyman

SHE/HER

I am a business owner, a wife, a coach, a traveler, and a lover of the outdoors. I have a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, a master's degree in Public Health, and am a Certified Health Education Specialist. I have worked in health and fitness since I was 17 - as a trainer first and as a nutrition coach since 2015. I love what I do more than anything and feel so incredibly grateful for the knowledge I have and the individuals I am able to work with.

I know that there is an overwhelming amount of nutrition and fitness information available to us at all times, with different programs promising dramatic changes if you just follow along for 30 days. As a result, we are often caught in a cycle of always trying the next new diet or workout plan. My goal is to help you understand the basics of nutrition so that you can not only distinguish fact from fad, but so that you are able to set goals you can actually achieve and create progress that you can actually maintain.

I LOVE WORKING WITH:

• Those struggling to break the vicious cycle of restricting and overeating and looking to gain a better relationship with food and with themselves.

• Hybrid athletes wanting to fuel their bodies better and gain a greater understanding of how their nutrition can support their training and recovery.

• Those who want to achieve sustainable fat loss goals from a place of learning about, caring for, and feeling good in their body rather than hating it.

SHE/HER

I am a wife, a cat mom, a coach, a yogi, and a lover of all things food and personal wellness. I grew up playing sports and have always been a competitive athlete. I have worked in the health and fitness industry for nearly a decade and wear many hats. I have earned my nutrition certification through Precision Nutrition’s Level 1 Certification. I have also worked as a CF-L2 CrossFit trainer for over 7 years and have been cooking up a storm for most of my life.

I believe that nutrition is about so much more than just the food we eat and that building habits in all areas of our lives is what creates long-term change. One of my biggest missions as a coach is to encourage my clients to embrace their own journey and to recognize that our health is personal and our challenges and experiences are our own. I believe that reaching your goals can be enjoyable - no crash diets, perfectionism or “bad” foods list required.

I LOVE WORKING WITH:

• Those committed to making and maintaining sustainable changes beyond the number on the scale and focusing on building better habits, their relationship with food and how they feel, look, and perform.

• Those who want to get stronger, faster, and fitter but are struggling to make their nutrition match their performance goals.

• Those who are ready to let go of a mindset of “bad” foods, cheat days, and perpetual dieting and implement a more flexible and streamlined approach to both nutrition and meal prep.

SHE/HER

I am a dog (and cat) mom, coffee enthusiast, recreational power lifter, and avid reader of Yelp reviews.  I have a BS in Community Health Education and a passion for continuing to absorb and share health-related knowledge.

I am not naturally predisposed to being physically active or thin. I spent my entire adolescence overweight. After gaining the freshman 15 (or 20), I hit my highest weight of 215 lbs when I was 19.  It took me three years to lose 75 lbs, and I did so solely through my nutrition.

My long-term focus on proper nutrition and physical activity makes me feel a little bit like I’m aging in reverse.  I am physically and mentally healthier in my thirties than I was in my teens and early twenties, and I feel like I am still getting better. Making good nutritional decisions allows me to do the things I love, like lifting barbells and hiking mountains, while still enjoying a big rice Krispie treat or glass of wine when I want one. I love sharing the lessons I’ve learned in order to help others feel good - both in and about their bodies.

I LOVE WORKING WITH:

• Individuals working toward significant weight loss goals.

• Those who want to improve their relationship with food, put an end to chronic yo-yo dieting, and stop seeing foods as "good" or "bad".

• Those who are newly focusing on health or fitness goals and want to learn how to best support their body through nutrition.

HE/HIM

I am a lifelong athlete and a very lucky husband to my amazing wife Kate, who is the creator and workhorse behind KLN. I have a bachelor’s degree in exercise science, I hold a CSCS certification through the NSCA, I was a full time CrossFit coach for 8 years, and I hold a CrossFit L-2 certification. 

I have been a fitness junkie for as long as I can remember and I enjoy competitive activities, the outdoors, and physical challenges. I love to regularly learn and play new games and sports. Recently I just started mountain biking. Learning this new sport has been pretty terrifying at times, but it has also been so much fun to learn a new skill and to face a new challenge.

I have experienced how increased health and confidence can positively impact our lives in so many ways. It can help you feel better about going into a job interview, it can give you more energy to play with your kids, and it can allow you to enjoy the beauty of the mountains as you hike because you’re not struggling to catch your breath. Health has a very positive overall impact on our quality of life.

The one message I want to share with as many people as possible is this: learning how to take charge of your health in a sustainable and realistic way is possible. You can make changes to your life that will help you feel healthier and happier and you don’t have to just follow whatever the newest diet fad is in order to get there.

I love helping new clients experience what it feels like to live a life where they feel healthy, fit, and above all, happy and confident in their own bodies. 

I LOVE WORKING WITH:

• Those who work hard in the gym and want their time spent training to pay off with positive aesthetic and body composition changes.

• Those struggling with information overload and seeking support in navigating through the unnecessary noise and fear-mongering inundating them on social media

• Competitive athletes - from CrossFitters to team sport competitors to weekend warriors - who want to maximize their performance and improve their recovery.

SHE/HER

I am a survivor, a mental health advocate, a Reese’s enthusiast, a former Division 1 swimmer, and a lover of very large dogs.

I graduated with a BS from Ohio University where I attended the Honors Tutorial College and assisted in research covering the physiology and biomechanics of chewing and swallowing. Right out of college I became a full-time coach and the nutritionist for a large CrossFit gym in Kentucky. At the age of 21 I began my own business where I partnered with local therapists to provide nutritional support to kids struggling with eating disorders. I have my PNL1 and am a Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.

Though I excelled in school and sports as a kid, I suffered through a long battle with mental health and an eating disorder that nearly cost me my life. It wasn’t until I began looking at the science of nutrition and approaching the body as a system that I locked my recovery into place. Through hard work and recovery I found a passion that allowed me to equip others with tools to fend off disordered eating. I believe that all foods have application; the more we understand those applications, the more we relieve our own stress and anxiety surrounding food.

I LOVE WORKING WITH:

• Individuals looking to find freedom from food by breaking down food myth barriers and redefining their approach to effective eating habits.

• Those with performance based goals looking to gain more confidence in their sport and in their skin.

• Individuals who are diagnosed with medical conditions looking to support their body through the foundations of health

SHE/HER

I am a wife and mother, a jujitsu enthusiast, and a Coast Guard veteran. I have a BS in Health Education and Health Promotion and am a Certified Health Education Specialist. I love using knowledge to simplify health and fitness for moms feeling overwhelmed in their health journey.

I know how difficult it can be to navigate nutrition while being a busy parent and I know the feeling of mom guilt when you take just 30 minutes to prioritize yourself. Your nutrition is not one size fits all and whether you are pregnant, postpartum, or deep in the trenches of motherhood, sustainable behavior change will look different for you. I want to help guide women through those trenches and out the other side with as little stress as possible. My goal as a nutrition coach is to help parents create sustainable habits that will not only help them but also serve their families for the foreseeable future.

I LOVE WORKING WITH:

• Pregnant and postpartum women who want to feel confident in their nutrition, fuel their bodies for pregnancy and beyond, and are looking for support during a time of information overwhelm.

• Parents who are deep in motherhood and want to learn how to navigate nutrition and fitness with a family. Whether your children are 4 or 14 I want to help you build sustainable habits around the life that you currently live. 

• Those who are new to prioritizing their health and fitness and want support taking their first steps towards their nutrition goals.

HE/HIM/HIS

I am an attorney, former competitive swimmer, current cycle instructor and gym bro, and gay dad. I am also a Girls Gone Strong Certified Women's Coaching Specialist, Certified Pre- and Postnatal Coach, and Level 1 certified for Precision Nutrition and CrossFit and have coached hundreds of busy individuals juggling their professions, families, and health.

I am a believer in flexibility, making mistakes, and learning from mistakes. Far too often, we are hard on ourselves -- especially when it comes to food and our bodies -- but kindness and grace go a long way, and I’ll remind you of that often. I love helping others understand how to handle high-stress situations and daily difficulties, as well as helping them focus on behaviors and habits that will last for a lifetime.

I LOVE WORKING WITH:

• Those who don’t want their health and body composition goals to require sacrificing their social life.

• Former athletes, perfectionists, and high-achievers whose “all or nothing” mentality and strained relationship with dieting is holding them back from reaching their nutrition goals.

• Individuals whose trauma and identity impacts their eating habits and relationship with food.

SHE/HER

I am a jewelry store owner, ex-competitive Crossfitter, recreational bodybuilder, dog and cat mom, and frequent jet-setter. I am Precision Nutrition Level 1 and Health Mindset Coaching certified, and have certifications pertaining to gut biology, hormone health, and metabolism. I have been a nutrition coach for over half a decade and spent years as a CrossFit Level 1 and USAW Level 1 coach.

My passion for helping others navigate nutrition came from my own experience trying to optimize how I looked, felt, and performed throughout different phases of my life: recovering from multiple eating disorders in high school, being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in college, and becoming a competitive athlete in my early 20s. It wasn’t until I looked beyond the “miracle diets,” became more formally educated on the science of nutrition and physiology, and began seeing food for all that it is -- fuel, culture, comfort, connection, art, and everything in between–that I was able to heal my sordid relationship with food and my body. 

I LOVE WORKING WITH:

• Busy professionals who are looking to develop or refine streamlined nutritional habits that align with their health goals while also taking into consideration their time constraints.

• Everyday athletes who want to better learn how to use nutrition as a way to support their performance and aesthetic goals.

• Those who are struggling to identify how to eat in accordance with specific dietary limitations and want to feel their best digestively and energetically.
