About Katie

Katie Carey was born and raised in upstate New York. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Fitness Development from the State University of New York at Cortland. She continued on at Cortland to receive her Master’s degree in Exercise Science. During her time at Cortland, Katie was deeply involved in the Biomechanics lab. She worked as a graduate assistant teaching undergraduate Biomechanics along with assisting in Parkinson’s disease research in the lab. Katie also assisted the research coordinator with data collection for Parkinson’s while working with patients, including taking vitals such as heart rate and blood pressure during their exercise regimen and using the Pro-Kinematics mat and Mobility Lab software to track the center of pressure throughout varying tests.

While at Cortland, she also held an internship with the Strength and Conditioning program working directly with collegiate athletes. This internship consisted of coaching athletes through warm-ups, weightlifting, conditioning sessions, and cool-downs, using software programs to track and assign resistance training to athletes, and helping maintain the organization and cleanliness of the weight room environment. Katie is new to the personal training industry as of 2022 and loves every second of it. The one-on-one environment with clients creates the opportunity to build lasting impactful relationships while helping clients work towards and meet their goals. Katie joined Personal Edge Fitness in 2022 after she moved to the south to be near her parents who retired to Jackson County, MS. Katie enjoys going on adventures with her silver lab, Apollo, and boyfriend Sammy.
