Katie Prendergast
Online Strength & Nutrition Coach
I help skiers, snowboarders, and hikers get strong for their mountain adventures. I combine strength training and nutrition coaching to help clients perform their best. The best thing about the HCP Level 1 Cert was the structure — it practices what it preaches by asking you to do a little learning daily, and shows you exactly how to walk your own clients through the habit change process!
