Karen is wonderful! We've been working together for the last 6 months and I've been so happy with the increased strength and mobility I've noticed. She's very flexible with scheduling, super positive and has been a wonderful addition to my life :) I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a positive shift!
I was referred to Karen by my my physical therapist about 6 months ago. I initially sought her out to help build back strength in my shoulder and hip, both of which had been experiencing chronic pain and disfunction for the past two years. Since starting with Karen I've made massive improvements: the pain and discomfort is far less frequently and far less intense, my mobility has noticeably improvement and I've been able to load more weight comfortably than I have in years. Overall Karen is a professional and knowledgeable trainer, she's sensitive to my needs and comfort levels and I enjoy our sessions together.
I have never stuck with an exercise program until I started working with Karen. She makes every session interesting and fun. She’s knowledgeable, passionate and helpful. She’s been able to work with my health issues, and I’m definitely stronger, toned and fit since working with her. She’s been very flexible with our session schedule. Very highly recommend!
I love the workouts Karen gives me! Always challenging but not unmanageable. I enjoy lifting weights and I like how she incorporates core and movement into the different exercises.
I have been working with Karen since the birth of my son. As a woman who was very active and defined herself as an athlete, pregnancy and childbirth created changes in my body I was in no way ready for. Karen has helped me 1. readjust my expectations of my body - which has had such a positive impact on my mental health and 2. helped me build back strength that either was lost or never existed in the first place. Thanks to her help, I was able to pick up Ultimate Frisbee pretty quickly after childbirth AND was given helpful training that showed me how to ease back into a sport that can be so hard on the body without going overboard.
Karen does an incredible job of creating a variety of workouts that are both fun and feel individualized based on where you are in your journey. She can adjust on the fly depending on how my body is feeling any given day - and that flexibility has made all the difference. She NEVER judges or shames me (like some trainers in the past) for not being able to do a movement and instead helps me find the right movement to help build back (or rehab the area that was feeling restricted). She is knowledgeable and trustworthy.
Karen is an incredible personal trainer and I encourage anyone looking for a trainer, ESPECIALLY postpartum moms, to give her a call.
