Kaila Morgante has been a part of the fitness field pretty much her entire life. She played various sports throughout high school and into college where she then began helping others develop their skills as a coach crew coach. A few years later, she began working as a running coach, group fitness instructor, and personal trainer and over the next 15 years continued to add to her knowledge base with spin, barre, Pilates, kettlebell, and TRX certifications and specializations in mobility and movement, nutrition for sports and exercise, and mental toughness.

After her daughter was born, nearly 7 years ago, she started a corporate wellness firm, offering high-impact workplace programs to educate and encourage healthy engagement within companies. She began a running-focused page on Instagram called @BodKick about a year ago, that offers education and motivation for all levels of runners.

Kaila is admittedly a geek about fitness and likes to deep dive into how things work. She also truly enjoys supporting people in their journey and firmly believes that with the right how-tos and positive motivation you can achieve anything!
