Katrina started working out when she was young.  Her dad used to lift weights with her in their home gym, showing her proper form and keeping her active.  She loves sports and played basketball and softball in high school. Katrina weight lifts 4 days a week and does HIIT workouts (to include boxing) 2 days a week.  She is proud to be a part of the TBC Kalamazoo team not only to better herself but to help others on their fitness journey.

Trainer/Staff Bio

Mackenzie has played basketball for almost her entire life up to this point, through her four
years at Davidson College and professionally abroad for a short time. While she has
led her fair share of fitness classes and basketball camps, she is pumped to be
stepping off the court and into the ring at TITLE Boxing Club Kalamazoo. It is
hard for Mackenzie to turn off her competitive nature, but she also wholeheartedly believes
that the biggest purpose of exercise in any degree is to feel better and HAVE
FUN, and her classes at TITLE reflect that balance. Mackenzie was raised in a gym, never
want to leave it, and believe that there’s no better feeling than battling through a
tough workout with your team; you couldn’t ask for a better one than the
members and trainers at TITLE Boxing Club Kalamazoo.

My personal mantra

“Everyday, in every way, we get a little better”

My training style is:

Heart

My why:

I took classes at the Kalamazoo location and so enjoyed every minute. I was inspired to compete and have fun by each and every single person on staff, they have a passion for the sport, the members, and each other that is undeniable, and I wanted nothing more than to be a part of the TITLE team.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

I have a passion for inclusion and believe that everyone needs to have a place where they feel they belong, and I desire to make the gym that place.
