Hi, I'm Karen.
I believe we feel better—physically and emotionally—when we take care of o urselves and our bodies. Regular movement can make us stronger, give us more energy, support healthy weight loss or maintenance, and help us feel more confident in our everyday lives.
As we age, exercise becomes even more important. Strength, balance, mobility, and cardiovascular fitness all play an important role in helping us stay active, independent, and able to enjoy the things we love throughout our lives. It’s never too late to start—and you’re never too old to get stronger.
I’ve spent more than 30 years helping hundreds of people become stronger, healthier, and more confident. As a personal trainer and health coach, I combine exercise, nutrition, and mindset to help you create lasting changes - not just reach a short-term goal.
When I hit my 50s it became very obvious that my days of eating anything I wanted were long gone. Sitting at a desk most of the day and not working out led to too much weight gain. My goals were to increase my muscle mass and lose some fat. And that’s exactly what happened. I work with Karen two to three times a week and the results have been great. I’ve toned up, learned some healthy lifestyle tips and lost weight. And it’s easier to keep up with my kids. I only wish I would have started with Karen earlier.

I have been working with Karen for over decade. I needed to add weight training to my workout regimen after a diagnosis of osteoporosis. I knew I would not have the self-discipline to do this without a trainer. That is when I found Karen. She has been knowledgeable, professional and most enjoyable to work with. Also, my osteoporosis has been downgraded, I have good muscle tone and I feel great. I would highly recommend Karen for your personal training needs.

When I started working with Karen, I was so overweight and out of shape, I was embarrassed to even begin. But immediately, Karen reassured me, supported me and did not judge me at all! She worked right alongside me, encouraging me and championing my successes. I have lost 48 pounds and can walk further and faster than I have in years. I feel so much better about myself, not just because I've lost weight and I'm in better shape, but because I know how strong and capable I am. I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m confident Karen will get me there!

What People Are Saying
I started worked with Karen when I realized I couldn't do some of the activities that I've always loved. I had back and knee pain. It was the best decision! Karen was gentle but firm with me. She knew what I was capable of, even if I didn’t. My pain is gone, I'm doing activities I thought I'd never be able to do again, and I feel the strongest I ever have. I’ve continued to work with Karen for many years. I will never stop. It's the best investment I've ever made.
