Hi, I’m Kayla!

I'm a wife, mom of three, fitness coach, community builder, espresso martini enthusiast, and—if I'm being completely honest—a bit of a Mahjong addict.

I live in Westwood, Massachusetts, where I coach women both in my Clubhouse and virtually from all over the country. My passion has always been helping women feel stronger, healthier, and more confident—but over the years I've realized it's about so much more than workouts.

It's about creating a place where women feel seen.

For nearly 20 years, I've helped hundreds of women navigate every stage of life—from pregnancy and postpartum to busy careers, raising families, and rediscovering themselves long after the baby years. Whether you're expecting your first baby, chasing toddlers, cheering from the sidelines of youth sports, or simply trying to make yourself a priority again, my goal is the same: help you build strength that lasts.

My career began in Los Angeles, where I worked as a personal trainer at Equinox in West Hollywood. During that time I trained a wide variety of clients, earned multiple fitness certifications, competed in (and won!) my first bikini competition, and completed a triathlon. Those experiences taught me the science of training—but becoming a mom taught me the heart of coaching.

When I became pregnant with my first child, I quickly realized how confusing fitness advice for moms could be. I immersed myself in prenatal and postpartum education, interviewed healthcare professionals, studied the latest research, and became a specialist in helping women exercise safely and confidently throughout pregnancy and recovery.

Since then, I've experienced motherhood from every angle—including a C-section, a VBAC, and now life as a proud mom of three. Those experiences have shaped the way I coach today: with empathy, evidence-based education, and the understanding that every woman's journey looks different.

While many women first find me during pregnancy or early motherhood, many stay with me for years. Today, I work with women at every stage—helping them lose body fat, build muscle, improve confidence, increase energy, and create healthy habits that fit into real life.

More than anything, I've built a community where women encourage each other, celebrate wins together, and genuinely enjoy showing up. Around here, you'll find strength training, plenty of laughs, friendships that extend outside the gym, and the reminder that taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's essential.

When I'm not coaching, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, hosting friends, planning our next adventure, dancing around the kitchen with my kids, or squeezing in a competitive game of Mahjong.

I truly believe every woman deserves to feel strong—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

Come as you are. Leave stronger.

I can't wait to meet you!

So glad I stayed fit and strong throughout my pregnancy

“I worked out with Kayla throughout my pregnancy. I had such a smooth, symptom free pregnancy and I credit that to working out and staying active. No aches or pains, fatigue, or major swelling. Kayla thoughtfully tailored each session to the changes my body was experiencing so that they were always challenging and toning, but never too much for me to handle at any given time in my pregnancy. I actually think my arms became the most toned they have ever been- pregnant or not.  In delivery, my midwives commented on my strength which I attributed to my workouts with Kayla.  So glad I had stayed fit and strong throughout my pregnancy because I don’t know that I could have delivered my 9+lbs baby naturally without the preparation.” -Ali Vanderbaan
