My path toward health and wellness didn’t begin until later in life. Being a client of personal training in my late 20s, I started to see the benefits, both physical and mental, of taking care of my body. Coming back to personal training in my late 30s, and working at a great gym with positive, like-minded people inspired me to look into becoming a personal trainer. I studied through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), and became certified in 2013. I later became credentialed in Corrective Exercise through NASM, and completed Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition course in 2015. The biggest thing I have learned is that we must never stop learning. I have spent most of my life in the Hampton Roads area, and have enjoyed the opportunity that personal training affords to meet new people from all walks of life with a wide variety of goals; from losing weight, to gaining lean mass, to getting up from a kneeling position unassisted. There’s nothing better than sharing the moment with a client when they reach a milestone.

I’m Ravyn and I am excited to be your General Manager here at Natural Bodyz Kempsville. Fitness and health has been a huge passion of mine since I was a child. It brings me great joy being surrounded by like-minded individuals and even inspiring people who are on the fence about it. I firmly believe your health is your true wealth and here at Natural Bodyz you will see your ultimate transformation. I want everyone to know they can approach me or reach out to me anytime and I will do the best I can to help you. Thank you to all of our current and future members for making this the best gym in Hampton Roads!

Hey there! My name is Katie Lawrence. I am a certified personal trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine. I am originally from Naperville, Illinois but moved up to Michigan to complete my B.S. in Clinical Exercise Science from Grand Valley State University. I have trained in a variety of settings, from conventional box gyms, private studios, and clinical offices. I am so excited to have made my way down to the Norfolk area and to the Natural Bodyz team. I have always had a passion for health and fitness, and I am fascinated by the way the body moves. The body is meant to be active and everyone moves in their own unique way. It is my goal as a health professional to keep your body moving in a functional, efficient way, so that you can always achieve your goals. I have experience in a wide variety of training techniques and styles, and am always working to expand my knowledge in new areas. I use these experiences in my work to best serve each and every client’s needs. I would love the opportunity to meet with you and help start your Natural Bodyz journey.
