BE STRONGER
A Truly Holistic, Intelligent, Natural and Kind Approach to Fitness
WELCOME TO
THINK HOLISTIC FITNESS
THINK Holistic Fitness is a semi-private training facility that is deeply committed to helping women foster a positive relationship with their body in a secure, non-intimidating, and inclusive environment. We understand that every woman has a unique history with their body, which may include past injuries, the negative impact of diet culture, struggles with body image, or past trauma, all of which can influence their ability to achieve their goals.
We also realize that some women feel very uncomfortable in the “average gym setting” with mirrors everywhere, feeling out of place and maybe even intimidated. This is enough to prevent some women from even getting started.
WE GIVE OUR BEST
THINK Holistic Fitness specializes in:
Peri-menopause Menopause
We, as trainers, are all in either peri-menopause or menopause and beyond. We get it. We also know how to guide you through this stage of life best so you can feel empowered instead of powerless.
Training women with prior injuries
Being injured or feeling like your body is “broken” can be extremely discouraging. Through our initial complimentary assessment, we will develop a clear plan as to how we will help you overcome these issues versus just “modifying exercises” so you can develop confidence in your body’s abilities. We work with issues that range from chronic back pain, neck pain, or knee pain all the way through hip replacements, lumbar discectomies, fusions, hip replacements, shoulder repairs, and more. We can safely help you become stronger without risking further injury.
Past diet or fitness trauma
As a culture, women are exposed on a daily basis to the societal message that our bodies are not good enough. This has caused many women to have a history of dieting that has damaged their relationship with food and/or their bodies, leaving them confused and defeated. Some women may have struggled with prior eating disorders, or they may have been on a diet since a young age, which makes it very hard to know what is the “right” approach. Others may struggle with a disordered relationship with food, causing endless amounts of stress robbing chunks of their life. While we are not “anti-diet,” we are also not part of any culture (body positivity, HAES, or diet culture). With our background in clinical mental health, we help you become your best intuitive, self-led individual so you can be “culture-free.”
Over 50+, 60+, 70+/longevity training
One of the secrets to bright health and longer lifespans is maintaining strong muscles. Why? Our muscles keep developing and growing until we are in our mid-20s. When we reach our mid-30s, the pattern reverses as muscle mass progressively decreases with age, at a rate of 5% every decade. When we don't work on strengthening our muscles, sarcopenia (muscle degeneration) occurs, which can lead to frailty by the time we're 75.
Hypermobility
Some women know they are hypermobile, and some women, through our initial assessment, learn that they may have hypermobility spectrum disorder, which can lead to joint instability, pain, injuries, and instability. We teach clients how to understand their hypermobility and train effectively and optimally to avoid injury and actually build muscle. Believe it or not, those who do not understand their hypermobility also struggle with building muscle. Our complimentary assessment shows you the difference between unstable and stable movements.
Body image
People (both women and men) who struggle with body image issues generally try to improve their body image through weight loss. The truth is body image is not always about your body. Problems with body image are typically a sign of deeper wounds. Losing weight could improve your body image temporarily, but it's probably not the long-term answer you need. With our background in clinical mental health, we can help guide you to explore new ways to improve body image that does not rely on intentional weight loss.
Weight loss
This is a sensitive and nuanced topic. Many women seek out another diet plan or approach to achieve their weight loss goals. Many women have tried every diet from Atkins, to Weight Watcher, Noom, Paleo, Keto, elimination diets, and now Semaglutide (also known as Wegovy or Ozempic or Mounjaro). We do not have any one-size-fits-all program. We also help you determine if your current goal should be weight-loss-focused at all. We help women understand their relationship with food, their bodies, and their mental health to decide how to best proceed.
THE PROCESS
- Every potential client begins with a complimentary one on one assessment. If the client wishes to proceed after the assessment, they will proceed to Step 1.
- Each client participates in 1 - 4 personal training sessions to prepare for the semi-private sessions. These sessions create the client's initial training program. During these sessions, we also teach the corrective exercises and form techniques needed to be successful in the semi-private training sessions. On average, clients usually need only 2 sessions.
- Clients will then be given access to the online scheduling system to arrange their times for semi-private training. Semi-private training sessions occur on the hour every hour. Clients can choose to train 2x, 3x, or 4x per week.
OUR TRAINERS
KATE MITCHELL
THINK HOLISTIC TRAINER
My name, is Kate Mitchell and I was born and raised in England. I’ve been happily married to Jonathan for 35 years. We have 3 great children, Daniel 29, Iain 23, and Sarah 19. I have lived in England, Pakistan about 14 years, and the USA for 19 years. I have a B.Ed and M.Ed and taught grade school for many years, I’ve homeschooled, sold beauty products, worked in administration, and been the domestic goddess at Chateau Mitchell.
My own journey into fitness started around 8 years ago when I was 55, I ran out of excuses and took ownership of that I was the only person who could change me. I signed up my husband and myself up for a one month “101” fitness course – naively thinking that was all it would take to learn everything!
Starting a few years before this I had begun to notice my parent’s aging and increasing frailty. Medicines – lots and lots of little white pills – taken 3 or 4 times a day were keeping them “going”. I realized that there was a huge difference between lifespan and healthspan. I decided I didn’t want to slip down a long slope of 20 years of fraility, feebleness, and increasing dependence upon others for help.
In researching healthy aging I discovered that it is never too late and it is possible to maintain and even improve my current health, strength, and fitness levels. I could extend my healthspan to within 2 or 3 years of my lifespan. In other words, I want to fall off the pull up bar and straight into my coffin!
3 years ago I got my Personal Training Certification from NASM, and interned at a CrossFit gym and got the CrossFit Level 1 Certification. 2 years ago I started coaching group HIIT classes but continued to spend time researching and learning online. I stumbled across THINK Holistic and reached out to Jennifer. I have had many “aha” moments learning from Jennifer – and I know I will continue to have them for many years to come. THINK Holistic is truly an Island of Excellence in a sea of gyms, studios, and trainers. I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with Jennifer and the ladies of THINK.
Consistency is a game changer. I have spent 8 years working out 3-4 times a week. During this time, I have been dabbling and experimenting with my nutrition. I’ve gone through extended phases of Paleo, South Beach, Renaissance Periodization, High Glycemic, Low Carb, Low Fat, Different ratios of Macros, Zoe, and most recently the Longevity Diet and Prolon. Each have something to recommend but through this process I have gradually found what works for me and enables me to keep my body fat lower and very slowly gain muscle mass. I love encouraging others on their own nutrition journey to find what works for them.
I pretty much like every exercise in the gym. I know that the movements I “dislike” are often ones I need to work on the most. I especially like to do movements that are not in the usual repertoire of someone my age such as handstand push-ups, pull-ups, or clean and jerk. I hope to make a good show at the Centenarian Olympics and I trust that you will join me there too!

Not a local? Unable to meet in person? Not quite ready to sweat it out with us at THINK?
Maybe you’re interested in our online coaching program which includes seminars on the challenges we see popping up most frequently in the women we work with. Or you may need more intensive one-on-one health coaching.
What’s Different About THINK?
THINK specializes in coaching and serving women who can’t figure out why they’re unable to lose weight, including those who think they’re doing everything right. Many of my clients come to us at the end of their rope and ready to do whatever it takes to get back on track healthwise.
And if you’re perimenopausal or menopausal, you’ve just found your tribe! Most of our clients are between 40-65 years young, although we train women ages 16-68, and they’re all in various stages of healing and building strength.
