About Us


Cathy Leman is a registered, licensed dietitian and certified personal trainer. She is an honors graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago’s (UIC) Coordinated Undergraduate Program in Dietetics and is certified as a personal trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

Cathy is the founder and owner of NutriFit, Inc. In 1998 Cathy started her business part-time from her home. By July of 2000, NutriFit was operating on a full-time basis and relocated to its current location in downtown Glen Ellyn.

Cathy’s passion is helping people learn to be as healthy as possible through sound nutrition and consistent fitness programs. By combining her passion for the field of nutrition with her fitness experience and graduate work in health psychology, Cathy is well qualified to professionally and competently guide her clients to reach their goals – without quick fix, short-term gimmicks.

An avid runner, bicyclist, and all-around fitness junkie, Cathy resides in Glen Ellyn with her husband and their “always-at-the-ready” four-legged running partner, Miranda. Cathy encourages her clients to continually challenge their bodies in new and different ways, regardless of age, ability, or even motivation! It’s never too late to take on a new challenge – so find the one that’s right for you and go after it. . .

Learning to windsurf on Pamlico Sound, NC, August 2003. Balance, agility, strength, determination, the right amount of wind, and lots of patience help you get (and stay) upright. Definitely fun, definitely a challenge, definitely something I’ll try again!

First ever duathlon, September 2004. The duathlon is a run/bike/run event. This particular duathlon (5k run, 30k bike, 5k run) was held in Naperville, IL and sponsored by Dannon Co. as The Race to End Hunger. Race time 2:22:42 (riding a mountain bike no less) – again, definitely a challenge, and I’ll be back next year!
