I struggled with some health issues and had terrible physicals with my blood pressure, cholesterol, high triglycerides, joint pain, weight issues and I am now the healthiest I ever been and my outlook change a lot when she started educating and encouraging and supportive when I struggled and thanks to her I learned a ton how to take better care of myself and improve my health and quality of life through eating healthier and keeping fit!!!! 😃"

"I have struggled with weight my whole life. In the past 30+ years I have tried every diet known to man and lost and gained the same 80 lbs over and over. Last Oct my husband and I traveled to Europe and it was so uncomfortable traveling, additionally I struggled with walking around, getting to see the things I wanted to see and feeling like I was holding others back. I was in pain, embarrassed and saddened by much of the experience. When I came home I made a decision to change my way of life. No more diets, no more fads. I reached out to Katherine and began this journey. I wasn't given a diet, I was educated. Katherine has taught me how my body works, how to change how I look at food and exercise. She has encouraged me to take small steps and make changes that will last. In the last six months I have lost 30 pounds and she has cheered me on the whole way. I don't feel like I am suffering, I'm not doing anything weird or extreme and while I do miss some of my old favorites, there is a built in way to address that. While I don't always like what she has to say, the truth is she is right, but more importantly she is kind, patient and encouraging. I doubt that I could have come this far without her help and accountability, but I don't doubt for a minute that what I have learned and changed in my life is healthy, sustainable and I feel better every day. If you are looking to change your life for the better Katherine will be there for you. She is available, responsive, encouraging and helpful."

"I’ve been working with Katherine Hood for the past year & lost 30 lbs! I needed a jump start since I found myself losing focus over the last few months. I needed something that was easy to fit into my busy lifestyle, wasn’t time-consuming, and help me to continue to work on a healthy lifestyle. Katherine has an amazing app that does everything I need; simple, easy, access to her when I need it, feedback, & came with a 14-day trial! I just finished it and am moving into using it full time! I’m looking forward to continuing on my journey to a healthier me! Thank you Katherine 🙏🏻"

"The Coach connect app is great, not only is it easy to navigate it prompted me to look at some of the outside factors of why I was making some of the food choices I did. Was I physically or emotionally “off my game” leading me to poor choices? The messages from Katherine were super on point and a great motivation to keep me making good choices or offer me an alternative to a less than good choice I had made. It is clear that Kathrine cares about people and helping them to become a healthier version of themselves. I can not recommend her enough.""

"I have been struggling with my weight for the last 10 years. With the weight gain also came a lot of medical issues. Every year I tell myself that this year will be the year that I get in shape and lose all the extra pounds. I have tried all kinds of diets only to fail at them. This year I came across Katherine Hood’s Facebook group and joined the free group. I watched as all these people were doing just what I wanted to do and I watched all the support and encouragement that the group gave each person that were struggling. I decided to take the plunge and I joined her premium group and I was blown away by all the help and information that I was given to help with my weight loss journey. Since April I have lost 34 pounds! I have more energy and I am able to sleep at night!! Katherine Hood goes above and beyond to help you figure out what needs to be done to help you in your journey as well!! Thank you Katherine for all you have done for me!!!"

"Where to begin.... so 30 days ago I started a Dr. mandated 30-day gut protocol that cut all grains, starchy vegetables, fruits, all sugar (real or fake) out of my diet. The beginning was rough. Now, 30 days later my body feels and looks less swollen and I am down 10 lbs. For the first time in a very long time, I feel amazing!!!! The support I received from Katherine and this group was amazing. THANK YOU!!!!"

- Christine De Diego

"The first photo popped up on my timeline today. I was in Alaska at Chena Hot Springs. I considered myself in shape. I was 25 pounds heavier, happy but energy level not so much. Today’s picture more energy and very happy, healthy glad to be alive. It’s due to healthy eating and regular exercise. I thank Katherine and this group for helping me achieve my daily goals. This is definitely a lifestyle and not a diet! "

-Loretta L

"If you would have asked me 10 years ago where I would be, I would not have told you my current situation. Never in a million years did I think I would ever had crossed over the 200-pound mark and stayed there for as long as I did. I met Katherine years ago and have always admired her work with and for her body. I watched from a distance and made sure to always keep in touch with her. I found out she was working with individuals to help them change their lives, and she offered to help me when she first started but I was that person who told her NO! I was not going to change. I did not need to change. I did not want to change. I was fine with who I was. I had learned to accept the person that I had become, and I was in no mind to even realize what I was doing to myself.

Now, fast forward years later. Many doctors’ appointments and surgeries to fix issues I have going on with my body. I came across another post from Katherine offering to help individuals change their lives. This time I KNEW I needed to do something. I reached out to her. This time with the mindset of I am ready, I am willing, and I am able. I broke down and said okay I need help, and now is my time! She did not hesitate to help me anything.

I had so many questions, concerns, fears. Katherine was right there to help me with everything that I needed. This program has really changed my life. While I might not be where I want to be my baby steps have begun, and this is just the start of my journey. I needed accountability and support. I get it from Katherine, and the group. I have found a new way of eating. I have found more energy. I have found that I am starting to all around feel better about myself and my body. I am not saying there were or will not be challenges to face along my journey, but with this I have found that I have the support, and people to turn to for assistance when I am in a rut.

I would recommend working with Katherine for anyone who struggles with getting themselves in the right mind to get on track with their nutrition goals. I found that I was not in the right place at the beginning. It was not an easy start, but it has gotten a little easier everyday knowing that I always have someone to turn to when my going is getting rough! To me that just makes continuing that much easier when you have someone that you know will always be there for you even when you have your hardest days to come!"

"Oh gosh where do I begin, short version :), I was desperate and needed to lose weight for health issues and then me I wasn’t happy with what I saw, Katherine came along and saved the day, I knew what I needed to do but didn’t know how to get it all together and make it work for me, what used to work didn’t work anymore, now what? I have never been an on time person or a planning person, I would have to say planning is a big part of success, and knowing when to eat, I was skipping meals not eating and busy, I am happy with the results I have gotten in my 90 days, I will continue to do what I have learned and do better I have a long ways to go to where I want to be, I could not have done this without Katherine and her guidance and knowledge, she makes me feel like I can accomplish what I set out to do, like no dream is ever to big, I would say to people if your sitting on the bench or side lines jump in and see what can be done, this group is amazing. Katherine thankyou for the help, for you being you, your support and knowledge is amazing, I’m so thankful our timing was right and for the opportunity to have done this, I have no regrets, only challenges and dreams to accomplish now"

- Marina H

"I seem to have always struggled with what I was eating and of course not seeing results after working out in the gym. It wasn’t until December 2018 when I joined power up and had some wonderful guidance from Katherine . I followed the suggested meal patterns making sure that I got in the proper nutrition for each meal. I’m proud to say that I’ve taken off about 10 pounds since December and have kept it off. I have actually had a 2% drop in body fat and I have seen better definition in my arms, my back and my abs since documenting everything that I eat. Thank you so much for having Power Up out there for everyone. To help those who need accountability. Keep up the great work!"

-Loretta L

"I have really benefited from this program by having an individual who genuinely cares about me. I feel like Katherine Hood is a friend who gently guides me, makes me think, holds me accountable for healthier choices and reaching my goals. When I have an issue, she’s always there to make suggestions either with my mindset, physical ailments, or even helping to figure out my chaotic schedule. I’ve lost 8 pounds so far, but even better I feel like my attitude/approach to living healthier is changing. I’m a professional dieter- I try anything and yes lose weight, but she’s taught me that it’s not a diet- it’s a lifestyle. I’m also an “all in or nothing” type person. So if I mess up, have a bad day, miss a workout, or eat something I shouldn’t, I usually get frustrated and just throw in the towel, but I’d put it on my journal and Katherine would just say something like - every meal is a fresh start or don’t overdo it if it makes you feel bad the next day (because I workout too hard too fast) and I’d be encouraged to keep on going. I’ve paid tons for nutritionists and exercise physiologists to make me plans, but I’ve gotten way more for way less by being accountable to Katherine and the Power Up Premium group. Thanks for standing by me even when I’m being difficult lol!"

- Miranda W.

"What I like about Premium is that it holds you accountable to yourself - and it’s beyond educational. There’s no crazy question - there’s always someone to help and not judge."

- Carrie S

"Katherine has been a huge inspiration in my health journey. I've lost over 28lbs since October 2018. This experience gets better every day. Her check-ins are a reminder for me on why I decided to change my lifestyle (not diet). Her encouragement talks me farther than I imagined I could go myself. I encourage everyone to be their best self and change it to become healthy. Katherine's guidance is worth the results you'll see and feel."

- Kristina E.

"I'm down 30 lbs, my BP is way down and my Doc said that I could stop taking the BP meds, my energy is up, my stomach is flatter, my muscles are more defined and pronounced, my posture is better. I joined planet fitness and am going to continue my weight loss journey while shaping my body even more. The guidance and accountability of being in this group are a major reason for my progress"

- Norm R

"Since I joined I lost 14lbs doing the challenges! Katherine was very supportive and best for nutrition and advice and encouragement! I upped my knowledge since joining and my fitness and health knowledge improved a lot! Highly recommend this group!!!👍 I was hesitant to do the challenges but it was the best choice I made"

- Travis G

"Premium is the next step to a healthier you. You have access great information, great support from the members and especially Katherine and we are all here supporting one another through our struggles and accomplishments!"

- Melanee S

"Premium is a must! It hold you accountable to yourself. Every bit of information is detailed and accurate! Do it for yourself"

- Sharleen S

"For me personally, it’s the extra accountability that I need. Knowing someone is going to specifically check in with me and point out some of the struggles, etc I’ve had we can actually discuss it and specifics to ME and what I’m doing day to day, it just helps tremendously. I also like the more detailed group discussions about muscle groups, benefits of certain exercises, supplements/nutrients, dynamics behind certain things etc; all the things that go into having a better understanding of the big picture which ultimately leads to better success in getting healthy!"

- Andrea M

"I wasn’t sure quite what it was at first, but have found the Power Up Premium group beyond helpful!

Katherine has a detailed nutrition plan and personally checks my food journals regularly, giving feedback. She encourages me to stay on track and helps me out when I get in a rut.

It’s not just nutrition though, there is info on health, sleep, proper form in certain exercises, and SO MUCH more in the group.

She has put time into helping me brainstorm to work out some areas in my life that are/were holding me back.

Not only that, but by being in the Premium group you’re part of the monthly challenge, so you get a shot at winning an awesome prize box FULL of great stuff and up to 3 more months membership free! I won last month and couldn’t believe how generous she is with the prizes.

Katherine is positive, encouraging, and creative in the solutions she offers when helping tackle our unique issues."

- Taryn L

"You should enroll in Power Up Premium, because the group really has helped me. I still mess up , but keep going and Katherine Hood is the best. I have tried a lot of other online fitness groups and this one is the best. Easy to enroll."

- Jodi H

"Oh where to start? I joined with Katherine in December, I was tired of trying every fad diet out there! I’m in a period of my life where hormones have taken over my body and what used to be easy to get off an extra few pounds has now turned into a struggle. I was praying for something I could do that would work, and low and behold Katherine popped up on my feed with this group. I started, a little sceptic at first but her approach was much different than anything I’ve tried. She gets you started with proper nutrition, adds in supplements and guides you through proper sleep and water intake. Always keeping a close eye on your food journals and exercise to make sure you are maximizing your efforts. I really appreciate how she critiques our journals twice a week so you know if you are on the right track! Always personally contacting you to give advice and changes if needed.

It’s not a fast process or a diet, but rather a lifestyle change that makes you feel incredible! If you are on the fence, jump in and join you won’t be sorry! Love Katherine and all her help she really is the greatest!!!"

- Audra M.

"I love how I feel and seeing how my body is changing for the better. Energy has been a big thing I have gained with this program. And it’s truly something I can stick with for the rest of my life. I am soo happy I will never see 270 again. Thank you soooo much for helping me achieve my goals to get healthy."

- Reba F.

"Katherine’s plan is simple and easy to follow, and the accountability she provides has been key to my success. Most important: It’s healthy, and I feel amazing! My energy levels are up, my clothes fit better, and did I mention I feel amazing? Thank you!!"

- Stacy H.

"My weight has always been an issue for me. As a mother of 4 it’s not always been easy to make time for myself. I thought I was eating healthy, but Katherine’s coaching has taught me how to balance what I eat with frequency which to eat it. She has helped me with meal planning and has been encouraging to me to keep exercising. She has created accountability groups where we learn to encourage and support one another, as well as how to perform exercises with proper form. I’ve been successful in losing some weight. Her challenges and journal checks keep me motivated. I’m thankful for all she has taught me. "
