I’ve been in the health and fitness industry for over a decade, and have worked with hundreds of people every year. Most of my clients over the years have been in the 40+ age bracket, are short on time or energy, and maybe don’t like going to the gym. But they’ve also been starting to realize that if they want to go into their next decades feeling good, they might need to make some changes.

HealthFit Coaching is your framework for these changes. There’s a gap in the health and fitness industry, overlooking people who are interested in getting healthy and feeling good without committing to a drastic lifestyle overhaul. The programs and coaching services I offer fill in that gap. Instead of pointing you towards the extreme diets and high intensity workouts popular in the media, I’ll guide you towards your goals with practical, common sense, step-by-step approaches that will work for you and your body.

Regardless of age or physical starting point, we all have a tremendous capacity for positive change. I’m excited to help people discover that they can feel better, look great, move easily, and enjoy life more. I want you to stay energetic, feel strong and empowered, age well, and not worry about whether you can handle what life throws at you. There’s nothing more gratifying than that!

Dr. Katie McGibbon

Education and Qualifications

  • Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Sport & Exercise Physiology
  • Accredited Sports Scientist Level 2 – Exercise & Sports Science Australia
  • ISAK Accredited Anthropometrist Level 1

I’ve been working as a scientist in Olympic and Paralympic sport for over 9 years both in the UK and Australia. My area of speciality is in sports and exercise physiology, and I’ve worked across a range of sports including swimming, judo, and ice skating.

An integral component of this work is the collection and interpretation of athlete health, wellbeing, and performance data with the goal of maximising athletic performance. In my current role as Senior Physiologist, I use an evidence-based approach to support coaches and athletes to make informed decisions about their training. I’m passionate about harnessing the power of technology, data, and research to provide practical tools, which was a key focus of my PhD.

I want to apply the skills, knowledge and experience I have gained working in elite sport to help you achieve your health and/or performance goals. Whether your goal is to run 5km without stopping, compete in a triathlon, hit PBs in the gym or just improve your overall health and wellbeing, I can support you in reaching these goals efficiently and safely. I believe in tailoring everything to suit your individual goals and needs to make sure it fits with your lifestyle and can be maintained in the long run, not just for a few weeks or months.

Depending on your goals and needs, you may end up working with either Erin or Katie, or potentially both. You can always request a specific coach, but if you aren’t sure who would be best, we’ll help you figure it out!
