My Story

My name is Katarina Godwin and I am a wife, dog mom, bartender, business owner, and personal trainer. Aside from bartending and training, I also own a business called the Balanced Bartender which offers natural products such as soaps, bath salts, lotions & potions, candles, and incense. Life's pretty busy, but things are all about balance. While i am a fitness enthusiast now, that has not always been the case.  I had always lived an athletic and healthy lifestyle, until i went off to college and stopped playing sports. It was insane how quickly i put on weight, but the combination of not exercising, drinking, and not eating right catches up to you. We all know that its SUPER easy to put on the weight, and seemingly impossible to get rid of it. In 2017, i decided that Id had enough of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, and it was then that I hired a trainer. I worked with him for a little over a month when i started falling in love with the process. It was around that time that I began seeing results, too. For the last 6 years, my happy place has been the gym. I am so grateful for all of the people who have helped me along the way, from coaches to friends, the knowledge i have gained and the results i have seen have truly been life-changing. I realized that not everyone can afford a trainer, as they are pretty pricey which is part of the reason i waited so long to get started, myself. When I came to this realization, coupled with the fact that I genuinely enjoy being in the gym and helping others, i decided to use my knowledge to help others reach their goals. Not only that, I realized that I can help people at an AFFORDABLE rate with plans that are designed for them and their lifestyle. Im here to tell you that you CAN do it, you are NOT alone, and the first step is reaching out. After all, im living proof.
