Kathleen Tesori is a full time employee working for the United States Department of Defense. She is an IFBB Pro, Cover Model and sponsored athlete for Bodybuilding.com. Her desire is to motivate, educate and inspire people in their daily quest for living healthy fit. She likes to make the “balancing act” of working 40 plus hours a week, taking care of family while living healthy fit easier. She lives this “balancing act” every day and is a role model of how planning and structure makes it all come together. Kathleen lives in Salt Lake City, Utah and travels the world.

Kathleen has been my inspiration for some time. Last year, I began to do research on why my body was changing in every…

unflattering way, and found Kathleen.

Kathleen has many helpful videos on you tube, but the one I came across and watched was the game changer. She explained in the video that skin must have a muscle to lay on to look toned- this was the moment I began learning. Since that day, I have followed closely what Kathleen advocates, all the wayfrom nutrition to workouts to faith! I have never been more encouraged by anyone.Kathleen responds to my questions (and I have many), and gives me a feeling of being on a team, of being included, and I needed this type of motivation and inclusiveness. Kathleen gives me advice on how to lift carefully, how to get the most out of my workouts, and leads me to information that gives more advice. I can ask Kathleen anything and get great, encouraging, tips to reach my goals. Her life is busy, but she makes time to notice people and help others live a healthy life! As a result of Kathleen’s mentoring, I am proud to say that I am 50 and my hobby is weight lifting and I'm in the best shape I've ever been in!

someone wanting to know their story and what changes I could make in my life to be more like them. And then along came Kathleen Tesori and forever changed my life. (Seriously!)

One night my husband and I were browsing the web for a fitness plan for me. He found Kathleen Tesori on bodybuilding.com and told me he thought I would like her plan a lot. I looked at it, found her on Instagram, and was hooked. I found my first famous role model. Getting into the fitness journey, I had so many questions. I had no idea where to start, what to eat; I was at a road block. I sent Kathleen an email asking for her opinions and advice, and her reply left me in shock. To be honest, I wasn't even expecting a reply! She was SO sweet about helping me find all of the answers to my questions, and made sure at the end of our conversation that she was there for whatever other questions I might have. Her knowledge in the fitness industry was just the beginning of my inspiration. It didn't take long to see the faith that Kathleen has, which is SUCH an important part of life. I KNEW I was following the right person. I knew this fitness icon I was so aspiring to be like was exactly the fit for me.

Although she may not realize it, Kathleen Tesori is really one of the biggest blessings in my life. With every post she makes, whether it be fitness or faithfulness, I find myself wanting to be better than I was yesterday. I find my motivation to be the absolute best I can be with no excuses. Kathleen Tesori has changed the way I value life in general, and I am forever thankful for her.

wanted to become like…they were all of Kathleen! I found her story on bodybuilding.com, and felt like I could relate to her, and being a small frame myself, I saw that if I put in the hard work and dedication like her, I could see the potential that I could one day be at. I was flying home from Canada at the beginning of an unexpected divorce, and I had just eaten Mcdonalds, Dr. Pepper in hand, and I decided to go over and introduce myself, and thank her for inspiring and motivating me everyday! Not only is she beautiful on the outside, she has an inner beauty that is so special. She is so kind, and sweet, and so willing to help anyone. During those months of my divorce, she taught me to go after my dreams, and to keep going. I lost 30 pounds in those few months, and have never felt so confident. She helped me to see the potential that I have, and always encouraged me to keep going! She is my greatest example of strength, inside and out, and how to lead by example. I am grateful for the beautiful person she is, all she has done for me, and for her sweet friendship!"

diet along with what it is to be an incredible friend! She had been an awesome mentor through my weight loss struggles and I try everyday to return the love and dedication she has shown me.

She has taught me that being a healthy person is 90% diet and 10% fitness yet they both work hand and hand in order to reach your fitness goals, but above and beyond anything consistency is the key! To eat foods that not only taste amazing but that are good for your body! She has taught me how to cook such things and sent me a ton of great recipes that I will use for the rest of my life and teach my children how to make so that I can be a good example for them and pass on the good health!

Kathleen has helped me lose 30 pounds and many many inches over the last 6 months and it was all done the right healthy way! I feel amazing and look it to! Thank you Kathleen for everything you have done and continue to do! Love
