NZ Runner-Up 🏅 Katrina Holmes
"I have been a DediKate member since 2017. I have always loved the opportunities this website has provided for me to be able to work out from home as a busy working mum. I was a keen runner and these workouts provided a great platform to build strength and prevent injuries.
DediKate provides so many different options so that although I could no longer do some of the HIIT sessions to start with, I was able to do pilates, Sculpt, yoga and Meditation, which were all vital for calming the nervous system which is in overdrive when you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
DediKate has been a part of my healing journey, I will be forever grateful for Kate and the remarkable trainers for making health and fitness so accessible to all."
NZ Winner 🏆 Shivani Fox-Lewis
"My ACL ruptured in early 2022. It has taken 18 months including surgery to recover. DediKate was the main way I returned to normal activity once my physio cleared me. It felt easier to rehab with exercise and trainers I was familiar with.
I love that DediKate trainers are normal people, who show they sometimes struggle with the workouts, have families to juggle, have injuries sometimes. I derived strength and inspiration from knowing that what I was going through wasn’t just me.
Now I have a rehabilitated knee, normal cholesterol, and I’m fitter too! I can see the beginnings of muscle definition in my arms and thighs! I can do full push-ups on my toes, side planks, things I couldn’t do 4 months ago."
AUS Runner-Up 🏅 Claire Daniel
"I did ‘DediKate with a Mate’ with my sister and found a new fitness routine that I actually looked forward to and could easily fit into my days – even during a hectic harvest season, managing a family and full days driving the chaser bin.
I also love the trainers, I almost feel like I know them all, they are so relatable and encouraging. This was even more apparent when I met Kate, Anna and Nic on their SA tour recently, feeling totally out of my comfort zone I met up with them and felt instantly welcomed and valued - what a community to be part of! To have access to these incredible trainers who are like-minded sets this program apart from any other.
The biggest secret to my success with the program is the sense of community it gives, I like to jump on a challenge, stick to the plan and leave the thinking to DediKate".
AUS Winner 🏆 Kate Barbe
"Above all, DediKate helped me discover what it feels like to be in my body just the way it is. I am no longer ashamed to look at myself in the mirror and I no longer compare my body to others. I still have a lot of work to do and it is not always easy, but I keep persevering. DediKate is so much more than workouts, I attended workshops on how to live a healthier life and got informed on how to have a balanced lifestyle.
Throughout my time with DediKate, I’ve completed almost all the challenges that are available. My favorite of all time is DediKate with a Mate because I got a new friend out of it. Silke B is in New Zealand and distance was not an issue to keep each other accountable every day. DediKate has changed my life for the better and I am so grateful to everyone in the Dedikate community."
