Hi, I’m Ky. I run HerCatalyst, and if you’ve made it to this page, there’s a good chance you’re either starting your fitness journey or starting it over again. Either way, you’re in the right place.

I’m a solo parent, and my home gym doubles as my kids’ hangout spot more often than not (you’ll usually find one of them nearby if you look at my content). Because of how busy my live is, I’ve had to get really good at building systems that are simple enough to actually stick, because complicated plans are the first thing to fall apart when life gets loud.

That’s the whole philosophy behind everything I coach: keep it simple, sis. Not because simple is easier for me to teach, but because simple is what people actually follow. A plan you’ll do beats a perfect plan you won’t, every time.

My business has grown almost entirely through word of mouth. Clients telling other clients, people sharing what actually worked for them. I’ve never been the coach with the flashiest content or the biggest following, and I’m okay with that. I’d rather be the coach whose stuff genuinely works.

This guide is built the same way I build everything: hand-portion nutrition instead of tracking apps, protein-first habits instead of overwhelming meal plans, and strength training that fits into a real day instead of asking you to rebuild your whole schedule around it.

If you’re starting over, or starting for the first time, I built this for you.
