Speaker Information
Kathy Smith has been in the forefront of the fitness and lifestyle market since 1980, and during that time she has helped shape and inspire the lives of millions. As a motivator and role model, she has a unique connection with her audience that stems from her own personal journey for wellness. Her passion for exploring new methods of movement has led to a collection of books, audios and videos/DVDs — from yoga/meditation to menopause, weight lifting and Pilates — in addition to developing a number of lifestyle products and fitness equipment.
Smith is one of the fitness industry's top presenters, with over 16 million copies of her workout titles sold worldwide. She has also been inducted into the Video Hall of Fame, as each of her more than 35 titles has reached gold or platinum status.
Although she maintains a demanding schedule, Smith continues to lend her time to a number of important health-related causes on local and national levels, including pregnancy health with the March of Dimes, young girls and sports with the Women's Sports Foundation, and heart health with the American Heart Association, among others. She also serves on the boards of institutions such as the USC School of Gerontology and the Women's Sports Foundation. Smith established the Perrie and Kate Fund, her own grant fund named after her daughters, which is administered by the Women's Sports Foundation and provides grants, internships and scholarships to young girls for athletic programs.
As a mother of two daughters, an entrepreneur, author, and host of her own Web site, Smith works hard to balance life and career. She has been named the Spokesperson for the National Recreation and Parks Association and the "Healthy America Fitness Leader" by the National Fitness Leaders Association in conjunction with the President's Council on Physical Fitness. Most recently, she was awarded the IDEA Lifetime Achievement Award from IDEA Health & Fitness, the largest professional fitness organization in the world. She was also granted the Alumni Hall of Honor Award by the University of Hawaii School of Business, her alma mater, in recognition of her success as owner/president of Kathy Smith Lifestyles.
