"Rural and/or Mum Life is busy. But exercise is not a luxury, it's fundamental to being human. We all deserve time to exercise and look after ourselves!"
Kate - Founder, CEO, HIIT + Strength Trainer
What DediKate Rural means to me!
DediKate Rural is all about connecting women like you and I through exercise. It’s for rural and regional women, and all those who love our down-to-earth approach to fitness (city girls welcome of course!). We focus on how exercise makes us feel, how it energises us and what we can achieve when we look after ourselves. Being a farmer's wife and a Mum I know first hand how hard it can be. But exercise saved me! I refound my self identity, felt good about myself again and gained confidence through short 20-30 minutes workouts at home. Kate x

Jess - Blandford, NSW
“I was a regular gym member before moving to a small regional town 2 years ago and have struggled to maintain a consistent home workout routine ever since. But since starting DediKate I have easily fit in 3-4 workouts a week while working part time and being a Mum. I feel like me again”
Sarah - Hillston, NSW
“I moved to a small country town from the city last year, exercise is so important for me but the closest gym is an hour away. DediKate has been perfect for keeping me fit and motivated, providing so many different exercise options for each day, energy level, attention span and situation. I love it!”
Bonnie - Darkan, WA
“DediKate is fabulous! I have always enjoyed exercise but I feel noticeably fitter since I have joined DediKate. I think this is because there are so many great challenges and workouts I just want to do them all! I travel around to regional and remote towns in Western Australia for work and I love that I can take DediKate with me wherever I go. I make sure to tell everyone about DediKate wherever I go because I think every busy, rural woman should have this amazing platform in their life!”
Kate - Lackrana, Tasmania
"I absolutely love DediKate. The instructors are amazing and keep me inspired to invest in my well-being. As a farmer in a remote area, we are tested physically and mentally every day and I know the positive impact a 20-30 min session has made to my life. I’m forever grateful I found DediKate and will continue to spread the word about this incredible platform to other women."
