My Story

Katie Thompson Personal Trainer at Edge 360 Fitness Wilmslow

Whatever your goals, we can accomplish them together

I am a personal trainer and running coach based in Wilmslow with a love of sport and passion for helping others to achieve their health and fitness goals. 

I started my fitness journey in 2016 when I signed up for my first 10km after having my second child. At the time, I was a complete beginner and the prospect of running 5km nevermind 10km was very daunting! It seemed such a long way and so difficult at the time. Little did I know that I would discover my passion and a love for sport that would lead to a new career and a new lifestyle.

Seven years on and I’ve completed numerous 10kms, half marathons, marathons and triathlons, and I have represented Great Britain in my age group at the Standard Distance World Triathlon Championships in Abu Dhabi in 2022. I can hardly believe how amazing the journey has been so far! Along the way I've learned so much about fitness, nutrition, healthy habits and how people succeed at getting and staying fit, healthy and happy.

In 2019, I began coaching at Wilmslow Striders Running Club and discovered how much I enjoy coaching and helping others to achieve their fitness goals. I am now a qualified Level 4 personal trainer with specialisms in exercise for long term neurological conditions, supporting women through the menopause, pre and postnatal fitness, children’s fitness and nutrition. I am also a qualified running coach with England Athletics and Head Coach at Wilmslow Striders Running Club. I founded Edge 360 Fitness so that I can share my enthusiasm and expertise to help others achieve their goals and to conquer their own amazing challenges.

In my personal life, I am Mummy to Ewan (11), Ellie (8) and wife to Ben (who is also passionate about sport and part of the Great Britain Age Group Team for triathlon).
