"The one quality that I have possessed my entire life is my passion for exercise."
Kate Jackson provides in-home personal training and cardio coaching to Southern NH and the Merrimack Valley.
The one quality that I have possessed my entire life is my passion for exercise. It began at a very young age - my mother says I ran before I walked. This passion led me to pursing my degree in exercise physiology and my certification as an American College of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer. I practiced my skills for 9 years working at St. Joseph Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation and Wellness Center in Nashua, NH, before I began privately training, coaching, and consulting.
Personally, I devote my life to my training. Having run throughout my school years and into college, I competed in my first triathlon, a half-ironman, at the age of 16, and have been competing ever since. This April of 2008, I will compete in my 20th Ironman. One of the reasons I became a personal trainer and a coach was to be able to share all of the knowledge and experiences that I have gained over the years.
The one aspect that I pride myself on is creating a program that is specific to the individual. Over the years, I have trained such a diverse population of varying ages, abilities, goal levels, and health conditions. I believe in detailed plans for nutrition, cardiovascular workouts, and resistance programs. Optimizing your metabolism and your recovery process are key elements I like to include in all of my programs. Lastly, my main focus is for you to continue to improve and see the results. And the best way to do that is progression of your workouts. A successful exercise program needs to be modified every 4-6 weeks.
I have had many people ask me why I continue to compete in Ironman races - isn't 20 enough? Well, besides the fact that I love the training and racing and all of the health benefits that go along with the sport, I have this desire to see what I am truly capable of. To push yourself physically and mentally so as to accomplish your goals is an incredible, EARNED feeling. It is this feeling that I want to help my clients achieve.

about training with her...
"Where do I being to say how thankful I am for have Kate Jackson as my personal trainer? She is encouraging, caring, and has a great sense of humor.

I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for me!"

"I have known Kate now for over 20 years and she plays a very special part in my life. She is a Friend, a Sister-In-Law, and my Health Coach. I have been an athlete my entire life but focused too heavily on weight lifting. I was missing the big picture for many years until Kate finally opened my eyes to health and overall wellness as opposed to just strength training. Strength training bulked me up and made me stiff and inflexible. I gained weight and was sore all the time. Not the results I was looking for. Kate helped me define what it was I was looking for in a health program and knowing my life and complex commitments she put together a program that was custom fit for me and my schedule.
Due to Kate’s love, support, and commitment I have finally made the progress over the past couple of years that I had been craving for the past ten. I was 5’10” and allowed myself to reach a hefty 235 plus pounds. I was unhealthy and my blood pressure and cholesterol let me know it. My blood pressure was 140 plus over 90 on a regular basis and my cholesterol was close to 260. Today I am down to 210 pounds on the way to my goal of 200. My blood pressure is 120/80 and my cholesterol is 200. I am now healthier, happier, and able to put 100% into all that I do now. It is truly unique to find individuals that know their passion and pursue it with excellence, but Kate has done that. Kate also goes above and beyond. Not only has she guided and educated myself she has trained and helped my wife, my children, and my mother. Kate’s love is infinite and unique. To add her to your life would be priceless and the rewards would be improved Health and Happiness.
Thank you Kate for all that you do!"
