About Me
Kerri’s Bio
Kerri has been coaching since 2021 and specializes in strength training and nutrition strategies that are rooted in behavior change and habit formation. She is a national-level NPC Figure and Fitness competitor with five overall wins. She holds a B.A. in Psychology and is a Precision Nutrition Level 2 Master Coach. She is also currently pursuing her CSCS certification and a Master’s in Health & Physical Education.
After transitioning out of collegiate cheerleading and overcoming her own struggles with disordered eating, Kerri dove into learning everything she could about strength training, nutrition, and the psychology behind behavior change. This personal journey fuels her coaching philosophy today: that mental health, mindset, and consistency are just as important as physical performance or aesthetics.
She is an experienced fitness coach who helps clients build muscle, improve body composition, and develop sustainable lifestyle habits through personalized training, nutrition, and macro coaching. She also coaches women in the Bikini, Wellness, and Figure divisions—guiding them from prep all the way to the stage. With over six years in the fitness industry—including a background in CrossFit and bodybuilding—she brings a wealth of both personal and professional experience to her coaching. Her mission is to help clients feel strong, confident, and in control of their health—while still living a life they enjoy.

From Kerri’s Clients
Devin
I consider myself very lucky to have Kerri be my first, and only, competitive bodybuilding coach. Since I began working with her in 2023, I immediately knew she always has my best interests at heart. Her programming is effective, adaptive to my physical and mental needs, and always makes health a priority. I have many dietary accommodations to take into consideration and she has never made me feel like it’s a challenge, if anything she embraced it and has made my meal plans very easy to follow. Kerri doesn’t just talk the talk, but walks the walk and leads by example with honesty and authenticity. I recommend her to anyone looking to up their game, competitive or not. I’m very proud to call her my coach!

Kerri helped me finally have the body of my dreams!! Not only have I finally achieved being under a certain number with my weight, but I feel stronger than ever. I have also achieved one of my goals: do unassisted pull ups and all this without any limitations! Kerri guided me in fueling my body for my Hyrox competition, for my races and for simply becoming the best version of myself. It’s amazing! I’ll always be grateful to have put my fitness journey into her hands because I’ve the BEST I’ve ever been in my life. Thanks isn’t enough!

I first started with Kerri to help me improve my disordered eating habits and also get me ready for my first bodybuilding show. It was difficult for me to get myself in check on binge eating. Ever since I started with her she’s been SO patient, kind, and encouraging through every bump in the road. Even on my doubtful days of “should I even be competing for a show” she has gotten me out of those doubts to remember WHY I choose to continue and for that I’ve found a new sense of self confidence and self control. Kerri is absolutely phenomenal at hearing her clients and adapting and I’m so happy to have her on my team!

Working with Kerri has truly transformed my life. As a busy business owner and teacher, I struggled to stay consistent, but she’s always been there for me—supportive, encouraging, and incredibly dedicated. She’s helped me attain my goal of aging backwards by increasing my strength, boosting my metabolism, and improving my relationship with food and weight training. Her personalized programs, regular check-ins, and helpful videos keep me on track despite my hectic schedule. She goes above and beyond, tailoring every workout and making smart modifications to meet my goals. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve lost inches, become stronger and more flexible, and developed healthier habits that finally feel sustainable. I feel empowered, energized, and truly grateful for the positive changes she’s helped me achieve. If you looking for someone to support you in reaching your goals, I highly recommend Kerri! You will be thrilled with your results!

I have big goals when it comes to creating lasting change and pursuing bodybuilding in the future. From the moment I started working with Kerri, I knew those dreams could become a reality. Each weekly check-in leaves me feeling more prepared and confident, with a clear plan and unwavering support behind me. Kerri is not only there to guide me but to truly push and encourage me every step of the way. If things don’t go as planned, she helps me refocus and create a strategy to get back on track—always remaining a steady source of motivation. Thanks to her, I’m feeling stronger both mentally and physically. I’m beyond excited to see what the future holds as I continue this journey with her!

Just Eat the Damn Cookie
For years, I lived in a cycle of restriction, guilt, and binge eating. When I first started working with a coach, I came from a place of extreme dieting—following a rigid meal plan, fighting cravings, and being told to “just stick to the plan”...
The Systems That Keep Me on Track
Staying consistent with health and fitness isn’t about willpower—it’s about having systems in place that make good habits second nature. I’ve found that when I simplify my nutrition, stick to a routine, and remove decision fatigue, I’m able to stay...
