Katie DeAngelis

Bay Area born and bred, Katie is a decade-long veteran of the fitness industry with dual Bachelor's degrees in Exercise Physiology and Food Science in Nutrition from Chico State University. Her passion for the human body ignited during her internship at Norcal Strength and Conditioning, where watching strength coaches work sparked a deep fascination with biomechanics and what the body is truly capable of.

Early in her academic journey, Katie recognized that mastering both functional movement and nutrition wasn't just complementary — it was essential. That realization became the foundation of everything she does.

Katie's approach is anything but one-size-fits-all. She trains each client with a program built around their unique goals, interests, and lifestyle — weaving together multiple training styles, intentional programming, and real-world context. As her client relationships deepened over the years, Katie felt called to expand her ability to support them beyond the gym floor. She went on to earn certifications in massage therapy, percussive therapy, and functional strength coaching — adding bodywork and advanced programming to her toolkit and giving her clients a truly holistic experience.

Katie considers herself a healer — one who uses fitness, bodywork, and intentional programming in equal measure to provide the kind of comprehensive care that redefines what it means to have a coach. Her mission is to help clients feel physically and emotionally powerful, strong, and pain-free — not through restriction or grind culture, but through intuitive eating, purposeful movement, and behavioral change rooted in nourishing the brain, body, and soul.

A proud member of the FiT family for 7 years, Katie has grown alongside the community she helps build every day. When she's not in the gym, you can find Katie and her dog Lou exploring the coastlines of California — because living the lifestyle she preaches is very much part of the plan.
