I had recommended Tony Trussler on an earlier post. Let me also recommend Katie Burns. I knew here as the manager of MVP Health Club at Brownwood for about 4 years. About two years ago she went into the Villages Sales Force. Almost everyday I see her in the ads at an open house. If she is anything like she was at MVP, she is a real go-getter. Ph: 352-321-9764



Katie has lived near The Villages and has been involved in helping make our residents dreams come true for 15 years. She began her career in The Villages Human Resources Department in 2003 as an intern while attending Michigan State University. Since then she has watched our community grow and feels fortunate to have played a role in helping our residents stay happy and healthy.

Prior to joining Property of The Villages, Katie has worn many hats in the community. She worked for the VCDD, enjoyed serving our residents as a waitress and bartender, worked behind the scenes for The Villages Sales Department, helped furnish homes, and assisted our residents with their physical fitness while working as a personal trainer. While personal training, Katie was also an instructor for fitness classes, including her favorite, Yoga.

As a personal trainer in The Villages, Katie was able to help coordinate and launch our annual Yoga on The Square event. She has enjoyed connecting with community instructors, in order to help share the joy and freedom that can come from movement. As a team they were able to bring over 300 people together to have fun and embrace their health. Residents, grandchildren, and employees all arrived to unroll their mats and spend the morning together. Katie continues to practice yoga and teaches when she can. Through each of her roles, Katie’s primary purpose is to help residents discover how they can live a happier life.

Katie strives to approach each situation she faces with an open heart and mind. She works to share her enthusiasm by finding solutions to struggles, just as she did as a personal trainer. She would love to help you discover whether a move to The Villages is right for you. She can’t wait to meet you!
