Welcome to Feed The Machine Training by Kaitlyn Bauer

Here, we have a saying: Always take the stairs.

It sounds simple, but it’s really about how you move through life. Every day you’re faced with choices—some easy, some harder. Taking the stairs means intentionally choosing the option that builds you up, even when it’s inconvenient. It means rejecting the temptation of “I’ll skip it just this once,” and committing to the decisions that, over time, shape who you are. It’s not about perfection. It’s about courage, discipline, and showing up again and again until challenge becomes your new baseline.

I think you can see where I’m going with this and the parallels one can draw between this concept and physical training for life. I am passionate about helping individuals harness that drive that’s already within them and direct it toward the habit of exercise that will completely transform them from the inside out. We are so busy with the demands and responsibilities of our careers and families that you are not alone if you’ve put your own health and fitness on the back burner. 

If you’re on this page, it means you know you want more for yourself. To get back and stoke that fire within you to make your life better, even if it's not easy. You are ready to put in the work; you just need an effective blueprint of where to start, what to do, and the support to make it happen. Whether you are an experienced gym-goer looking for a different approach and accountability, or you are a complete beginner. I got you.

I’d love to work with you.

If you are someone who is no stranger to hard work and dedication for your career, your family, your relationships and commitments, but you just can’t seem to get traction with your fitness, I can help. If you find yourself attempting a new fitness regimen that fizzles out after a few weeks when “life gets in the way”, or you’ve been doing the same kind of workouts for years and just aren’t getting the results you were hoping for, let’s break you free and do things differently so you can stop starting over. I provide the accountability, guidance, education, and variety that many individuals lack in their approach to fitness. 

Selecting the right personal trainer for you is critical. You’re investing your time, money, and trust. It’s an intimate relationship, and the right fit makes all the difference. If I were in your shoes, these are the questions I’d be asking:

  • Can this trainer deliver real results, and do they have a proven track record?

  • Do they have the experience and flexibility to troubleshoot challenges as they come up?

  • Are they professional—on time, prepared, and respectful of my time?

  • Do they have the education and tools to tailor a program to my unique goals, limitations, and personality?

  • Will they keep me safe and supported throughout the process?

  • What kind of nutrition guidance is included?

  • Can I openly ask questions and give feedback?

  • Do I trust that this person truly has my best interests at heart?

  • And perhaps most importantly—do I enjoy working with them enough to spend hours together?

Connection is key. If you do not connect with your personal trainer, your results are in jeopardy. But, find the right fit–and the sky is the limit!

What People are Saying…

  • “Kaitlyn is such an amazing trainer and is truly passionate about what she does. She pushed me to my fullest potential and challenged me during our workouts. Kaitlyn took the time to listen to my needs and created a workout plan to meet my goals. She provided the right balance of focusing on form, encouragement and cheering me on during difficult sets. My fitness level after the duration of our training was the strongest it had ever been. But more importantly, I am grateful for the life changing habits, sustainable lifestyle choices and gym etiquette that she taught me. I couldn’t recommend Kaitlyn enough and encourage anyone who is ready to enhance their life to get started!”

    - Kait M.

  • “Kaitlyn is just the best in every way!  I have always struggled with consistency in the gym. Kaitlyn was the first trainer that truly listened to my goals and created a program specifically for my abilities while still setting the bar high to help me grow. She knows when you need a push and is excellent at encouraging you to get there, she has a contagious spirit. That spirit made every session fly by because I was having fun even while getting my butt kicked :) She continues to educate herself on all things health and fitness so you know you are receiving the most up to date advice/techniques. She has made a lasting impact on me and my fitness journey.”

    - Celia C. 

  • “Training with Kaitlyn of Feed the Machine is the best investment I’ve ever made for my mind and body. The sessions were perfectly tailored to my goals and she made weight training feel so approachable and fun, even with no prior experience. Kaitlyn’s passion for what she does is infectious and it makes building healthy habits around your goals so much easier!”

    - Brittney H. 

  • “I started working with Kaitlyn when I was 6 months pregnant with my first child.  I reached out to Kaitlyn because I was beginning to feel insecure with my changing body and I was having a difficult time knowing how to “correctly” workout while pregnant.  Kaitlyn is encouraging, personable, motivating, and knowledgeable.  She helped me understand how strong my body was during pregnancy and showed me safe movements and techniques specific to my needs. She made me feel safe while also pushing me to work hard and achieve my goals.  Working with Kaitlyn gave me confidence in the gym and was exactly what I needed during my last few months of pregnancy. I would recommend Kaitlyn to any friend who is looking to build confidence in the gym or reach any fitness goal.  She truly cares about her clients and you will have a great experience!”

    - Jenna H. 

  • “Kaitlyn is amazing! I had the pleasure of having her as my personal trainer for two years.  When I first started training with her I hadn’t really done much heavy lifting. Kaitlyn showed me the ins and outs with her extensive knowledge of body mechanics, a great amount of patience and did it all while encouraging and cheering me on. Over time she became much more than a trainer. She became a friend, confidant and therapist.  I saw great results over time and even have less lower back and shoulder pain. She takes your injuries and any little pains you may have into consideration and will help you heal and get stronger.  She is the best and anyone who gets to be trained by her is lucky!!!!”

    - Erin D. 

  • “I want to thank you for all you do for your clients. You always have a great, creative, fun way to make us work. Always there to push us a little farther, a little harder, a little heavier. Also, have a great way to help us during, and post injury. Your training has really helped me improve my athleticism, golf game, and balance. I feel stronger, have better posture, and have increased flexibility. (And my ball striking is way better too) All things that I have lacked for years. With your continued training, I generally feel better overall, in my day to day life.”

    - Brian H. 

  • “I had the pleasure of training under Kaitlyn for over 2 years. She was always on time, positive, knowledgeable and professional. My favorite part of having Kaitlyn as my trainer was her focus on proper technique. We would not increase the weight or difficulty of any movement until she was satisfied that my form was correct. Kaitlyn was also focused on me throughout the session pushing me when I was ready and slowing me down when I needed to relax and rest. I achieved all of my goals and enjoyed the process along the way. I would highly recommend her as a trainer . You won’t find anyone more qualified or kinder.”

    - Elizabeth L. 

  • “The fitness plan that Kaitlyn created for me was nothing short of efficient and effective. It's clear that Kaitlyn tailors her programs to maximize results and fit each client's unique needs. I can confidently say that I've had the best workouts of my life under her guidance, and I've seen better results than I ever did with any other form of exercise. Working with Kaitlyn has undeniably been a game changer for me. Her guidance and support have not only helped me reach my physical goals but have also had a profound impact on my mental growth and confidence.”
