PERSONAL TRAINING
THAT WORKS
Working to get great results, as well as enjoy what you might describe as "the journey", is what training with Kate is all about. Kate works within a process that she has refined since 2017. It uses three key concepts each with very different origins in behavioural psychology, nutrition and sports science, and this has lead to the creation of the 360° Fitness Method.
Currently working with clients face to face in Malvern near Worcester, and the surrounding area as well as from anywhere on-line. So, if you move, find yourself away from home or on business, an online workout can be answer. One to one yoga is also now officially available.

ENSURING PROGRESS & RESULTS REALLY HAPPEN
QUALITY
PERSONAL & BESPOKE
Kate Brooks Fitness' Personal Training sessions focus on quality and impact. Every workout is designed to enable progress and each programme uses proven principles based on evidence drawn from the latest science. Our priority is to make every session as high quality as possible.
This means always keeping an eye on how training allows the right level of physical effort, alongside the right quality or form in that effort. This is always understood along with the context of the individual, so that as well as being enjoyable to do, every workout should bring some kind of sense of achievement or pleasure as a result of completing it as well.
Closely related to quality, working with either very small groups of one or two people does allow for great attention to the details that matter to you, so training can be truly personalised and bespoke.
Each session is planned with your goals or priorities in mind. All of us have unique levels of strength, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, and confidence and each of these factors also interact with each other. Understanding this as well as bringing a certain amount of a creative approach makes input hard to get bored of.
ENJOYABLE FITNESS
Creating an engaging and rewarding experience in every workout by building a feeling of personal accomplishment is key to making each workout enjoyable. Always ensuring that “Training is delivered at a suitably challenging level” is central to Kate's approach, which is aspirational as well as pragmatic, and encouraging.

CONVENIENCE & CONNECTION
Choose your Personal Training venue, whether in the comfort of your own home, face to face or online. Other combinations: such as online whilst on holiday or face to face in your airbnb also exist. This is particulalry appealing at a time where many people are increasingly missing social connectedness. So why not as well as getting fit, can check off another very important objective of spending time with real humans not just screens.

TRANSFORMATIVE INPUT + NUTRITION
'Transformation' as a word, has perhaps been a little overused in recent years. However we are keen to stick with the idea as there are few things in the world that can have such a big impact as exercise and good nutrition combined. Kate is happy to offer nutritional advice as it is a subject she has followed and learnt about for many decades. Sports nutrition and nutritional therapist she is not, no eating plans will be issued, but sincere and reliable advice is. The reason behind this, is simply that it is very rare to get the results you deserve to experience without the two working together and so good nutrition is most definitely part of the 360° Method.
About Me
I didn’t start off in life being all that good at sport, but it made me feel good and so I didn’t ever question the fact I wanted to do as much of it as possible. However running was different, I had more of a natural talent, and I found myself focused and motivated as a result. However it wasn’t until 2017, by which time I was definitely an adult, and had been largely a stay-at-home parent for some years. That I decided to commit, not just to keeping myself fit and defining what that meant, but helping other people in my rather originally named business: Kate Brooks Fitness, which you already know about, as you are on my website.
It is now almost a decade later and having dabbled in yoga teaching lately I am also still working as a Personal trainer, which is mostly a wonderful way of keeping myself and others fit in body and mind. The 360° Method I use with my personal training clients, is fantastic for the physical side of things, and hints at the emotional and mind side of things, through the recovery part of the equation which is so key as part of the method, although it does not specifically mention yoga. I have found it is a fantastic way to reduce the injury risk and improve sleep.
​
So in 2026 while I update this, the 360° Method I use remains the same, but has moved away from an emphasis on tracking everything and become more focused on the three core pillars*, because I find it is essential to align my own beliefs with the service I offer. Understanding the underlying principles and direction of travel alongside friendly accountability I have found to be far more effective and today this really encapsulates how I work and also how I live myself. Always checking in on habits; maintaining an active interest in improving my knowledge around health and fitness; leading with metabolic flexibility in my eating choices and timing and finally getting the training scheduled that works. So enjoying whatever it is I am doing absolutely comes first, but ideally this also means prioritising strength first, as we all now know, from midlife onwards this is very important, then aerobic fitness and flexibility in quick succession next. Ideally along with some other sports and outdoor activites that keep reaction and power activated and not dwindling and becoming something in the past.
​
So much more, can be possible through improved fitness and just finding a love for exercise in general, and my reason for still feeling inspired in the work that I do with people is really this belief. The belief that everyone can find a way to enjoy it, even if they are sceptics, and at any age. There is always a way!
