Katie Martin

I’m Katie Martin, creator of Strength & Sculpt and Strength & Pilates. I’ve been a personal trainer since 2016, and am also a cookbook author and the founder of my own activewear line. Strength training, running and Pilates are my favourite ways to train to see results, feel strong, and build sustainable healthy habits.

Designed for intermediate to advanced fitness levels
24-week gym-based program
3 workouts each week
40-50 minute workouts
Progressively increase your training load
Build strength and muscle definition

Program Overview

Over 24 weeks, you’ll progressively increase your training load to challenge your entire body with 3-4 workouts each week, including:

Upper body
Lower body
Full body
An optional fourth workout

The lower, upper and full-body workouts each have superset and triset sections - superset meaning two exercises performed back to back with minimal rest, and triset meaning three! The program is split into four six-week training blocks, which each have some slight changes to keep you progressing.

Alongside these 40-50 minute strength workouts, the program includes LISS (low-intensity steady state cardio), high-intensity cardio sessions and one weekly recovery session.

Katie’s program aims to help women build their strength and muscle definition by progressively increasing the workout intensity over 24 weeks. As your reps get higher and you start to feel confident lifting heavier weights, get ready to feel your muscles and confidence grow.

Strength training is one of Katie’s favourite ways to move her body, and she’s pretty certain you’re going to love it just as much once you get started!

Equipment
