Cat Buck Le is a StrongFirst Certified Team Leader, a StrongFirst Elite Instructor, and co-owner of C&C Coaching, based in Stanwood, WA.

Cat first started training with kettlebells in 2014 when she and her husband opened their gym, Krav Maga Seattle. Learning the skill of strength and achieving her SFG Level I Certification in 2015 changed the course of her life. Through learning from her coaches and mentors, immersing herself in the StrongFirst system, and sharing it with others, she discovered the transformative power of dedicated, disciplined training.

Cat’s goal as a coach is to lead others to live happier, more fulfilled lives through working towards strength goals and overcoming self-limiting beliefs. Through the discipline of strength training, we can master the skills necessary to become our most powerful, confident selves.

She is certified under StrongFirst, NASM, Ground Force Method, Flexible Steel, TRX, and Precision Nutrition.
