I am a StrongFirst Team Leader and Elite instructor, which means I hold all the StrongFirst certifications.I believe everyone can experience life-changing transformation through the dedicated skill practice of strength training.I first started training with kettlebells in 2014. I earned my SFG1 in 2015, completed the SFB in 2016, the SFG2 in 2017, the SFL in 2018, and achieved StrongFirst Elite status in 2019. Over the years, I have regularly helped as an Assistant at StrongFirst certifications and courses in the Seattle area.In my twenties, I struggled with food and exercise. I felt lost, frustrated, and trapped. I knew I needed to build a positive relationship with my body and upgrade my emotional self-image.Learning the skill of strength and achieving my first StrongFirst instructor certification (the SFG1) changed the course of my life. Through learning from my coaches and mentors, immersing myself in the StrongFirst system, and building real strength, I discovered the power of dedicated, disciplined training.I went from being someone who was always “working out” to being an athlete who trains for goals and practices skills.My goal as a coach is to lead my students to live happier, more fulfilled lives through working towards strength goals and overcoming self-limiting beliefs. I lead by example and teach my students to achieve their full potential using the tools of strength training, quality movement, nutrition, and self-reflection.Through the discipline of strength training, we can learn and master all the skills necessary to become our most powerful, confident selves.In addition to being a certified instructor under NASM, StrongFirst, TRX, and Ground Force Method, I am also a Precision Nutrition Level 1 certified nutrition coach.For skill-focused kettlebell tips that will make you stronger, subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CatChauFor FREE kettlebell training programs, workouts, tips, and a beginner kettlebell buyer's guide, go here:https://www.catandchau.com/free/Learn the basics in my Kettlebell 101 course and get your training done with an ever-growing library of full-body kettlebell workouts here (7-day free trial): https://learnkettlebells.com/Apply for one-on-one or small group coaching with me here: https://www.catandchau.com/apply/When I’m not training or coaching, you can find me traveling, hiking, paddleboarding, and enjoying the outdoors with my husband Chau and our Rhodesian Ridgeback Gracie.
