I'm Katy McConville (maiden name Tonick), and fitness has always been at the heart of my journey. I studied Sports Medicine and Kinesiology at UC Irvine, where I developed a deep understanding of how the human body moves; and more importantly, how to move it safely and powerfully.
The Gym & Tonick Philosophy
Gym & Tonick is more than a play on my name, it's a philosophy. Just like a perfectly balanced drink, I believe fitness should be a blend of strength and enjoyment, discipline and grace, challenge and community.
After becoming a mom and experiencing the physical and emotional shifts of the postnatal journey, I realized how overlooked women (especially mothers) can feel in traditional fitness spaces. That's why I created Gym & Tonick: a welcoming, private studio designed for women to feel strong, seen, and supported at every stage of life.
Whether you're brand new to working out, returning postpartum, or just looking for a space where you feel like you belong, I'm here to guide and encourage you — every rep, every session, every step.
