Katie Higginbotham - TRAINFITNESS Course Tutor

AUTHOR

Katie Higginbotham

My journey in the fitness industry began in 1998 with studies in Sports Studies and Health Studies at Worcester University. After graduation, I further honed my skills by completing a Diploma in Personal Training & Sports Massage. Over the past 20 years in the industry, I've had the pleasure of working for several colleges, educating and supporting learners. This included setting up and developing gym facilities for students, instructors, and sporting academies. I also gained extensive sports coaching experience during an 8-year stint working with a rugby team. My role ensured the physical fitness of both their senior and youth teams, providing valuable experience in rehabilitation work. In 2006, my career transitioned towards education and assessment within the private adult education sector. Taking on the role of a Fitness & Sports Massage Therapy Lecturer, I delivered a wide range of courses in both areas while assisting in the development of both tutors and curriculum. As I've progressed, a strong desire to maintain the highest standards of education and delivery has led me to my current role in quality assurance. Beyond my professional pursuits, my passion for health and fitness extends to personal challenges. Over the years, I've been an integral member of several hockey teams, completed marathons, and even competed in Athletic natural bodybuilding. These experiences have pushed me to my physical and mental limits.

Personal Trainer Course Series: Age Is Not a Barrier to Strength Training

When we talk about resistance training, most people picture barbells, protein shakes and twenty-somethings flexing in the mirror. Rarely does the conversation start with someone in their seventies squatting confidently or doing a solid chest press on the gym floor. But maybe it’s time that changed. Because resistance training isn’t…

Nutrition Coach Course Series: Not All Workouts Fuel the Same

Why Training Type Should Shape Your Nutrition Strategy Let’s get one thing straight, your body isn’t a machine that runs on the same settings day in day out.

Time off happens. Whether it’s due to injury, illness, a holiday gone on too long, or just life getting in the way, even the most motivated clients (and coaches) sometimes end up skipping training. What comes next? Usually, a slightly panicked look at the mirror or the squat rack, followed…

Nutrition Coach Course Series: Resistance Training Intensity Shapes Appetite & Food Intake

It’s a familiar worry among clients and trainers, that working out makes you ravenous. The assumption is that the harder you train, the more you’ll want to eat. Before long any calorie deficit will be wiped out by an uncontrollable craving for crisps, pasta or that mysterious third helping of…
