Kate Hlavac
Hey there! I’m Kate Hlavac and I am a co-owner and operator of Beyond Measure Fitness. I also support and create nutritional plans for our members. Every so often you will see me out on the floor coaching or filling in for our other trainers. My husband, and co-partner Steve and I have been together for 10 years, married for 5 and in business together for 9. We blissfully welcomed our first baby, Jaxson, in March 2021!What made you want to become a personal trainer?
I have always been very active and sports have always been a part of my life. I also happened to be overweight despite my active lifestyle. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15, which is a hormonal and metabolic disorder that makes losing weight and keeping it off challenging. After my diagnosis I spent time learning about how to change my diet and exercise routine to control my diagnosis as much as possible. By college, I had lost weight, played collegiate softball, and was on a path to become a lawyer. However, a biology course with a focus in nutrition changed my path. I fell in love with food and it’s profound effect on the body along with movement. I knew that I wanted to help others, especially those who struggled with weight loss, so I changed directions and jumped into starting a personal training and nutrition gym.
What is your favorite exercise?
It’s really tough to pick a favorite, but I would say the kettlebell swing is my current favorite!
What is your least favorite exercise?
My least favorite exercise is definitely lateral lunges!
Guilty Indulgence?
Fannie Mae Pixies!
Favorite Superhero?
My favorite superhero is Batman. I used to have Batman pajamas with a cape as a kid and have always loved him. I think I’m drawn to him because he is just a regular person who is going out of his way to save Gotham without credit.
