A Bit About Me

A bit about me, Katie Handyside

I have trained all over the world, London, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Seattle and now Mallorca. I have had my Personal Training Company: Katie Handyside Personal Training and Nutrition - since 2005. 

For the first 5 years I started off with a training studio in STP super yacht refit yard in Palma and trained thousands of yacht crew in my group classes, bootcamps and personal training programs. I am now a mobile personal trainer - many of my clients are in Son Vida, Sol de Mallorca, Portals, Andratx and Portixol. We exercise outdoors,  train on the beach, in their villas and luxury hotels.

​

I am a keen athlete myself and have done everything from 5 half 'Ironmans', numerous Olympic triathlons, sprint triathlons, duathlons, bike races and rallies, half marathons, 10 and 5 km runs, Spartan obstacle racing, army training selection, jungle trekking in Belize, canoeing, swim racing - anything and everything I can get involved in in my free time, I’m there. My work is my passion and I love to work out! In the gym, in the mountains, at the beach... I love adventures and new challenges and being in nature- Mallorca its a beautiful training ground- a sports mecca from road biking to canoeing.

Like most of us, a few curve balls have been thrown my way, and exercise has given me the power to overcome the struggles I have faced.
