Our Story

Hi! I’m Kate Armstrong the founder and creator for Life Health Fitness & Motivation.

Growing up, I always quite active, from Swimming Club, Netball, Dancing, Hockey and Little Athletics I loved it all. As I got into my mid to late teens sport and exercise did not interest me at all.

I was lucky from my teen years to early 20s that I didn’t really fluctuate in weight or size. At the age of 22 I met my now husband Adam, it wasn’t long before I fell pregnant with my daughter Zara (now 7 years old). During my pregnancy with her, I did not work, I put on a lot of weight. I was over 100kgs. I managed to lose some of the weight and got down to 75kgs. We got married, went overseas, ate and drank way too much, before I knew it I had put on another 11kgs and fell pregnant with my second daughter Indie (now 4years old). I found out that because of my weight, I was at high risk, I had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I was shocked I was only 26, in my mind these things only happened to old people. After giving birth to Indie the doctor told me that I needed to lose at least 20kgs in the next 6 months or I would be put on medication. In that moment I knew I needed to change my whole lifestyle.

This is where my fitness journey began. I set myself some goals and joined a gym. A month after joining the gym, they decided to start charging for the crèche I had my child in. I simply couldn’t afford the gym membership plus $3 per child per visit extra fee.

I didn’t let this get me down or stop me from achieving, I wanted to set an example for my children, I wanted them to grow up to be happy and healthy. I went to Kmart and Big W and brought some cheap hand weights, yoga mat and a kettlebell set. Google images became my best friend finding workouts I could do easily at home. I went walking and running pushing my children in the pram, I found many of healthy eating ideas through google search and pages.

After 12months of hard work, I was finally down to pre pregnancy size.

During this time, I fell in love with running and overall fitness, I’d successfully made permanent lifestyle change for my whole family. I enjoy constantly learning new things ways to exercise and new healthy meals to try.

Over the past 5 years I have achieved many personal goals, Running parkrun (5km) in under 30 minutes, running 2 half marathons, several 10km events, I have completed the City2Surf (14km) the last 4 years in a row. Achieve other strength goals, squatting 50kgs, and deadlifting more than I weigh, 180 degree sit ups hanging upside down.

18 months ago, my health took a turn when I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, Whilst I still tried to still be positive, this illness got the better of me, I put on 15kgs, I lost confidences in myself. I had a lot of self-doubts and fears of failure about my goals. Work was stressful, life in itself became stressful. After seeking help, I finally came out the other side to put myself back on track. Today whilst life isn’t always rainbows and sunshine, today I am stronger than before both physically and mentally.

Now it is my mission to help, inspire, motivate & encourage others to do what I did. Its not easy, there will be sacrifices and hard work. I do promise you this path in life is sooo worth it, its a happier & achievable lifestyle.

Learn from me, trust in me & most importantly, have fun and laugh with me.
