Hey guys, real quick, this week's special is over 30% off of our CPD course, Mobility Essentials for Fitness Professionals, registered with AusActive for 21 CPDs. Link in show notes if you're interested. Welcome back everyone to the Fitness Education Online Podcast. Today, we have Katarina Bozzi joining us, prenatal and postnatal fitness coach and founder of Collective Fitness Yoga. She's been named a finalist for Personal Trainer of the Year Award in the 2026 AusActive Awards, which Katarina actually won back in 2023. So that is just amazing and I'm very excited to hear about her journey. So let's jump into it. Welcome Kat, how are you?
Hello, Bex. Thanks so much for having me. Of course. Good. Thank you, by the way. Sorry, my brain is like functioning off pure just caffeine this morning.
It's okay. I'm sure many of the PTs listening can relate to running off pure caffeine and adrenaline. So I'm right there with you. I've literally just gulped down a coffee. So we're good. We're ready to go. It's going to be a fun and energetic conversation, I'm sure.
Yes, I think so. Yeah.
Amazing. Well, I'd love to dive into your journey a little bit. But first, congrats on being named a finalist for PT of the Year for the 2026 Awards. It's, yes, such a huge achievement. So huge congrats to you. How did it feel finding out that you were a finalist for the awards this year?
Oh, wow. It felt amazing. To be honest, before I answer that, I was checking my emails every single day since I put my submission through. Aww. Yeah, I – look, it really meant so much to me. So being a finalist this year – reflects the work that I have done since I've had kids, which I know we'll talk about soon, but just different to when I won it back in 2023, because that was based off my work before I become a mom. And now being a finalist in 2026, this is the work I've been doing while trying to balance motherhood and just everything in life that's more chaotic now. So it feels extra special because I know how hard I worked for it. I'm going to get emotional, but I know how hard I worked for this.
So it feels like such an honor. Yeah.
Yeah. Oh, well, it's so well-deserved. And I mean- I can see through your content, through the engagement that you have with your community. You have done such an amazing job in the work that you do and impacted so many people's lives. And then to be doing that alongside raising triplets, by the way, which is amazing. Yeah, it's just so special and being named, it's just so well-deserved. So yeah, I'm very excited to be having this conversation with you. And I know that getting into your journey and hearing a little bit about that. It's going to be really inspiring for everyone to hear. So take us back a little bit. So how did you get into the industry in the first place? Like what kind of made you get into this and then follow this path?
It's such a long story. It was so many years ago, but to shorten everything down just a little bit, I was a teenager and around when you're starting high school, there's those discussions of what do you want to do when you're older? You know, you have them in primary school, but it becomes a because you start choosing subjects. And my thought was, what do I do every day that doesn't feel like work? And my first thought went to, oh, well, I go to the gym every day and I was doing aerobics back then. So you know, you'd have your instructor on stage and whether it was a step class or, you know, whatever, that's what I went to as well as using the equipment in the gym.
How did Catarina Bozzi get started in the fitness industry as a teenager?
And I thought I could do that. I love that. I could do that for a job. So I, um, studied fitness in school, there was a opportunity to do it when I was in year 10, I think I was. And I got my cert three and four in fitness. I did work experience at the gym when I was very, very young, I think about 14, got my cert three and four in school. So I was a personal trainer by the time I was I think I was 16 turning 17 back then. And I couldn't work as one yet. I didn't have the flexibility at school to do so.
