Kari is a fantastic personal trainer! She's very knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition, and she tailors each workout to meet my personal goals. She's extremely motivating without being a drill sergeant. She always comes up with varied workouts to keep things interesting. On top of her great training skills, she's very sweet and an all-around wonderful person. I always enjoy seeing her for my weekly workouts!

Kari was the perfect trainer for me. I began working with her when I was in my late 40s so I started out with the mindset I was presenting a body that was out of shape, old, and weak. Kari doesn't let you believe this. My recollection of our first session is of her assessing my movements which I knew to be shaky at best. In our second session, she had me doing things I thought I was too weak to do (which I was) but I ended that session having done things I hadn't done before. Long story short, what I gained most from working with Kari was my realization that I could do more than I thought I was capable of. She didn't let me wallow in my excuses of being nearly 50 and carrying an extra 70 pounds BUT she took these into consideration and encouraged me to complete a move, a set, a session. Eventually I'd feel confident enough to do the more daunting exercises on my own. My body is stronger and smaller than the day I met Kari. Had I been more diligent on my own (hello, diet!) I know without a shadow of doubt I'd be even more fit. Sadly, I'm moving out of state and won't have the joy of continuing my fitness transformation with this wonderful woman. I've worked with other trainers before when I was younger and weighed less but Kari is the first with whom I knew I was doing something real, purposeful, and long-lasting. I'm envious of anyone who gets to call her their trainer.

I have been working out with Kari now for a couple of years and I cannot be happier. She is kind but firm and keeps me on track but at the same time has become a great friend as well. I am so grateful to have her in my corner! I had a few work related injuries and she has been so attentive on helping my recovery; building strength and flexibility while avoiding re-injury in my impatience to push through the work. She is one smart cookie and I adore her so much!

Bottom line: Kari has helped me achieve my fitness goals in a sustainable and fun way.  For the last year and a half, we've been working out twice per week.  I always feel better (and totally grateful) after my workouts.  I am a competitive triathlete, and with Kari's strength training, I've been able to significantly improve my results.  In addition, I train with a repaired ACL - Kari has worked around my knee to build strength/flexibility and keep me injury-free.

Kari is exceptional at every aspect of her job. She tailors your workouts to your ability and your goals, and keeps track of your specific exercises and progress so that everything is personalized to you. (I see many other trainers at my gym, and all seem to give every client the same workout, regardless of body type or goals. Kari will never do this!) She also helps you clearly define your benchmarks and always goes the extra mile by providing nutrition counseling and, whether she means to or not, life coaching. But maybe what's best about Kari, is she makes your struggles and insecurities about weight loss & fitness manageable with a philosophy of kindness rather than the Angry Boot Camp philosophy of many trainers. Can never say enough good things about my experience!

Great trainer. I enjoy every session with Kari!

I love working with Kari! She listens to my goals and tailors workouts based on what I enjoy doing. If I'm not feeling something, she'll change it. She's not afraid to get outside the gym and take workouts outdoors. She makes strength training easy and enjoyable and always looks out for safety. She doesn't believe you have to kill yourself to be strong and feel good about the way you look and she practices what she teaches. She's very easy to talk to and training with her is a positive addition to my week!
