What Clients are Saying

Katherine has been a great source of motivation for me to consistently attend the Saturday Group Strength Express. She is very current in her knowledge of fitness and exercise techniques in addition to being a thorough and motivating instructor. Katherine’s passion for health, fitness and motivation brings out the best in everyone. Sonya M.

I really enjoyed Katherine's classes. She was positive, energetic and motivating. Geraldine N.

Really enjoyed classes taken with you, and felt you took time to connect with me and others...which was nice! Meredith F.

I used to believe I couldn’t lift “heavy” weights (anything over 10 lb) based on past experiences. I can now lift up to 25 lb and realized the issue wasn’t my strength, but that my previous exercises weren’t designed for heavier loads. This has significantly boosted my confidence in strength training and improved my overall fitness for running and hiking. Chrissy B.

I feel noticeably more flexible and stronger overall. The classes are very motivating, and I genuinely look forward to attending them. My back is stronger, which allows me to move more freely. Thank you! 😃 Karen M.

I didn’t think I’d be able to join a class due to my lack of fitness, but I noticed improvements in my body quite quickly. It also made me think more about my lifestyle and where fitness fits into it. Deb W.

My biggest struggle was chronic pain. My chronic pain has reduced, I feel stronger, and I am able to enjoy my hobbies without injuring myself. Kendra S.

My upper body strength was weak, I have improved all around strength and gotten stronger overall. Shannon C.

My biggest challenge has been motivation. I've seen an improvement of strength. The impact that it's had on me is that it's less time in front of the TV. Janet P.

Motivation to get started - I need a scheduled class to keep me accountable. Working with Katherine has made me stronger and more energized. Linda R.

I have seen a natural "decline" in my overall body shape over the past few years but can definitely see improved muscle tone, fitness and flexibility since starting classes at Johnson Bentley. You are very encouraging and your classes are fun to attend! Claudia P.

One of my biggest struggles was not seeing progress. I really appreciated that you tracked our progress, which I hadn’t experienced before. I noticed improvements in muscle strength and definition, along with a reduction in body fat.Even though it was sometimes challenging to get to class after work when I was tired, I stayed committed - and after class I always had so much more energy for the evening. I also saw progress in my balance, energy, and overall strength. Bette L.

My biggest struggle was motivation, but I’ve experienced increased stamina, strength, and weight loss. Everything has improved! Caitlin G.

What I love about you Katherine is your ability to meet each of us where we’re at. You show us how to adapt exercises so we can feel successful and get stronger. Cindy S.

I hadn’t set foot in a gym in over 15 years, and this time around my goals were very different. I wasn’t chasing extremes; I wanted a program I would genuinely enjoy and could realistically stick with. Being partnered with Katherine Balser in early December 2025 made all the difference.Katherine’s knowledge of physiology and nutrition is immediately apparent, but what truly sets her apart is her calm, grounded approach. She listens, sets realistic goals, and builds confidence without pressure or judgment. Every session was guided by her steady expertise, compassion, and, ALWAYS, a genuine smile.Katherine is an incredible ambassador for the Rec Centre and a true asset to Johnson Bentley. Her professionalism, warmth, and ability to meet people exactly where they are makes her an exceptional personal trainer and someone I would recommend without hesitation. Andy L.
