Success Stories

"I felt more energized and focused than I had in years!"



"When I first started working with Cathy, my goal was simply to have a trainer who could help me get back into an exercise regimen and design a program to help me improve my physique and tone my body. Oh, and I wanted a set of "six-pack abs" by the time I turned 40 in August. What I got was so much more!

In addition to her vast knowledge and experience in personal training and commitment to a healthy lifestyle and diet, she took a complete inventory of my personal and medical history which resulted in recommendations for certain supplements and an eating plan. Within a few weeks of starting my new exercise and eating/supplement plan, I felt more energized and focused than I had in years!

Cathy takes the time to understand her client's needs and goals to customize a program. She definitely does NOT take a one-size-fits all approach like the trainers you see in many gyms. For example, I have a few old injuries from my gymnastics days so Cathy made sure we rehabilitated and built up those areas slowly over time before doing specific exercises that would otherwise have aggravated or further injured them. In the gym she is a great motivator and will definitely help you push your limits and achieve your goals! Along the way she takes progress reports so you always know how you're doing (though you'll see it in the mirror anyway!) and she'll adjust your program as needed to ensure you continue to make the gains you want.

After a month of working out with Cathy, she asked if I ever considered competing in either fitness, figure or bodybuilding. Having been a gymnast the idea appealed to me but I was certain I was too old and out of shape to consider anything like that! Well, within a year with Cathy's guidance and motivation, I entered a natural bodybuilding contest and took 1st place in the 40's Plus, 2nd in the Tall Class and won Best Poser award. I got my six-pack abs after all and then some! And I owe it all to Cathy! No matter what your goals - to lose weight, build muscle, get in shape, compete or just feel and look better, Cathy can help. Don't miss out on an opportunity to make a lasting positive change in your life!

"I lost close to 40 pounds and several inches and have kept if off
for 3 years!"



Since training with Cathy, I lost close to 40 pounds and several inches and have kept if off for 3 years even after a recent pregnancy at age 39! With Cathy's training regimen I transformed from a 5'4" 140 pound out of shape Runner into a Figure Competitor in less than 18 months! I'm grateful for the tools and the experience gained to adopt a healthier lifestyle! It was time and money well spent!

"How I got started with CATHY!"

Before After


I grew up in remote part of the Philippines with no knowledge of working out or any fitness, health and physical activity at all, other than doing some farming.

When I moved to the states in 1990 and married my husband, Chuck, I thought he was a nut case doing exercises on a daily basis, hiking, lifting weights and eating all kinds of green leafy veggies.

Not until a few years later, becoming accustom to American lifestyle did I realize how important it is to be healthy and physically active. I decided to sign up at LA Fitness and start working out. I was terrified and intimated. Some women fit in perfectly.

Year after year working out without seeing the improvements of my physical body, I signed up for a 1-day boot camp. What a workout! That’s where I met Cathy and headed well and didn’t know she was a Personal Trainer. I thought...I will give it a try with a Personal Trainer for a couple months. A couple months ended up 6 years of personal training with her. It’s been a learning experience. She’s sets me up with my goal on eating and workout plans for the whole week.

After one year of working out with Cathy, she decided to put me into competing mode, as a reward of being fit. My first competition in 2003 Hermosa Beach Natural, I placed 3rd in Figure. I thought that was the end of my competition but I became fascinated with how I looked and the transformation of my body.

Cathy gets me motivated and excited about living a healthy balanced life. I could not have come as far as I have without the HELP and CONSTANT ENCOURAGEMENT from Cathy. I can’t thank her enough for all that she has done for me.

"You can get fit and healthy at any age!"



"Cathy Chappell has been my personal trainer for three years, and has helped me develop the muscles and balance to continue to pursue my favorite sport – horseback riding and hunting. At 76 I feel strong and healthy, in great part due to her careful instruction, which always challenges me to go one step further without injuring or over straining myself."

"Cathy has been the best for me, why one might say? Well, simple!"



"I was encouraged to train with her some five years ago, now I know why. I balked at First... I thought I was fit as a fiddle (and I was for my age). Within six short months On the other hand, I went from fit to lean and muscular, it was the best present to Myself... it taught me that I could do anything I choose better, faster and with more Confidence with Cathy as my coach and trainer."

"In short, I am in the best shape of my life because of these efforts."



Since I began training with Cathy Chappell and Fit-Bodyz in January of 2006, I have experienced a complete physical and mental metamorphosis.

Before my introduction to Fit-Bodyz, life consisted of poor eating habits and erratic exercise programs. However, armed with Cathy's knowledge I experienced a "fitness epiphany," and began to witness a stunning transformation.

Thanks to Cathy's tireless dedication, my strength, balance, flexibility and endurance are better now at the age of 30 than they were at eighteen. The Fit-Bodyz program has produced a lean, chiseled body that I never thought could be achieved. In short, I am in the best shape of my life because of these efforts.

Cathy's knowledge and expertise in the fields of weight training, cardio, diet and nutrition have contributed to significant strides in my professional career as well. As a competitive horse trainer, my success depends on my fitness level. Fit-Bodyz has helped me to maximize my performance in the show arena, thus yielding the most lucrative years to date.

Thank you Fit-Bodyz for illuminating the path to a complete mental and physical health.

Sincerely,

Bud Lyon


"After a few months of steady working out with Cathy, I look great, have more energy, and have a better self-image of myself."

"I have been training, on and off, with Cathy, for about 4 years. I am not someone who is looking to compete, I just want to tone my body to look and fit better in my clothes. I am happy with the results I get when I train with Cathy vs. when I attempt to train on my own. By making a commitment to meet with Cathy, I am forced to work out. After a few months of steady working out with Cathy, I look great, have more energy, and have a better self-image of myself. I would definitely recommend Cathy to anyone who wants to improve their life."
