Which celebs did you transform for a red-carpet entrance?

One year, I was really excited. Two of my clients — one being Julianne Moore — were nominated for Academy Awards, and Iman was awarding. I was flown out to California and given a gym to help my clients workout. The pomp and circumstance of the event was incredible. It is quite rewarding to watch a client, the person I helped transform, walk onto the stage. You can see the energy flowing through their body!

Who needed the most work?

This depends on the year and the movie. Julianne Moore had never thought she could have chiseled arms. She wanted to look great, but wasn’t sure if we could do it in time. “Oh ye of little faith,” I told her. We showed it some love and then her arms began to chisel nicely. It was beautiful to watch her walk down the red carpet!

When Denzel prepared for Hurricane, he needed to look chiseled and cut, like a boxer. Bruce Willis worked with me to get ready for Perfect Stranger and then again for Die Hard.

Each project an actor works on is different. I need to know what is the intention of the workout.

What have you done for Denzel Washington as a trainer, that no one else could?

I think there was a time that Denzel and I didn’t work out together for a while. Then I got a phone call from him, and he left me a message. “Kacy,” he said, “ I like what you do for my body. I love working with you. Would you consider having me as a client again?” And I phoned back and said, “Of course.” He’s been my client now for twelve years.

It’s not just about the training, though. It’s also the emotional and the spiritual aspects of the workout that I involve. The energy motivates you to acknowledge the greatness within you.

Kacy, you’ve written a first book, The Show It Love Workout: Celebrate the Body You Have, Get the Body You Want. Where does the unique title evolve from?

My philosophy is this: I am, I can, I do. Or you could say it’s about the Mindset, Motivation, and Movements. The title comes from how I help a person balance these three elements of self: emotional, physical, and spiritual in exercise.

When you love and respect yourself, the energy in your body becomes unlocked and does miracles. This to me is the mind-body connection. We each need a relationship with ourselves. We women tend to be oh so hard on ourselves because of aging, menopause, etc. We all go through these changes. I lost one ovary and wasn’t as fertile, but I never lost the sense of loving myself. This is the secret: the way to the fountain of youth is through loving yourself.
