Best experience

I’ve been training with Carolyn coming on three months and LOVE IT. I have struggled in the past getting into a regular routine of working out, knowing how to set attainable goals, and eventually quitting out of frustration and lack of motivation. Carolyn has been AMAZING at breaking this cycle. She knows her stuff. During our initial consultation, Carolyn quickly recognized my strengths and weaknesses (and weirdly knew about injuries I had without prompting?!) and made a plan that fit my lifestyle and time commitment goals. She creates workouts that make sense for my body type and ensures I’m doing every exercise safely and efficiently. I feel like I know my body SO MUCH BETTER than I have before, and can clearly see positive growth with the help of her coaching. I feel like I’m being taken care of with Carolyn and am so happy with the progress I’ve seen so far. Not to mention she’s also hilarious and a lot of fun to be around. With Carolyn’s in-depth knowledge of personal fitness, it is without reservation I would recommend her for anyone and everyone, no matter your fitness goals.

Ahh! Thank you so much, Christie! Working with you has been amazing and deeply hilarious, and I’m so thrilled that we’ve finally put an end to the consistency struggle. Your progress has been phenomenal so far, and I can’t wait to see where that takes you in the next few months!

All the best,

The best thing, I didn't know I needed

Training with Carolyn has been such a great experience! She really listens to what I need and tailors each workout to match my goals, energy, and limits. I always feel challenged in the right way, enough to make progress without ever feeling overwhelmed or risking injury. Every session leaves me feeling stronger, more confident, and honestly kind of proud of myself. It’s motivating, personal, and fun and exactly what I was looking for! I couldn't have achieve this on my own and am thankful for Carolyn's help

Dayna, thank you for the kind words! I love hearing that you feel challenged but never overwhelmed—that balance is so important. It’s been awesome watching your strength and confidence grow with each session. And yes, you absolutely should be proud of yourself! Despite not seeing yourself as a "fitness person", you're on your way to becoming a true athlete. I'm really looking forward to seeing what that looks like for you over the next year!

All the best,
Carolyn

Knowledgeable and fun trainer!

I’ve been training with Carolyn for over a decade now, and she has been such an incredible motivator throughout all the different phases of life I’ve been through in that time. She strikes the perfect balance between being super knowledgeable and sooo funny. Every session is packed with energy, guidance, and just the right amount of laughter to keep things enjoyable while still pushing me to improve.

I have always really appreciated how understanding she is. She listens, tailors workouts to how I’m feeling or what I need that day, and never makes me feel bad if I’m struggling. Instead, she motivates with humor and encouragement, and I always find myself laughing through the sweat.
If you’re looking for a trainer who knows her stuff but makes exercising more approachable, Carolyn is perfect for you!

Carolyn was one of my mentors and role models when I first started personal training, now I own my own studio and have a team of trainers working with me. She is the real deal.
She's extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommended!

Carolyn keeps me motivated and happy to train regularly. The sessions are never boring. She’s extremely knowledgeable on all the exercises and if something is not a fit, she will gladly suggest an alternative exercise. I always feel great after a workout.

Amazing!

Working with Carolyn has been nothing short of amazing, and I couldn't be happier with my results. She really takes the time to understand my fitness goals, creates challenging workouts, and effortlessly shares her knowledge on nutrition, anatomy and the science behind the exercises. Also, she’s meticulous in making sure that I’m doing each exercise with proper form. It's clear that she genuinely cares about my progress, and this has been a huge part of my success.

Worth it!

Been training with Carolyn for a few years and I'm still improving and getting amazing results. I'm stronger and healthier than I was in my 20s, and I just turned 40. I go to her place for it, and it's amazing. She's got great equipment, she's SUPER knowledgeable about both fitness and nutrition, and she has an awesome app to help you train on days you don't see her. Friendly, professional, and very effective!!

Walking Again

I'm an 80 year old experiencing difficulty with walking. I used to enjoy walking but hadn't been able to for a few years. The exercises that Carolyn gives me sure do help. I am totally satisfied and look forward to continue working with her.

A Game-Changer for My Fitness Journey!

A Game-Changer for My Fitness Journey!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Carolyn as my online personal trainer! Her app has completely transformed my fitness routine. From the moment I started, I was impressed by how customized the workout program was to my specific needs and goals. It's clear that Carolyn puts a lot of thought into tailoring every aspect of my plan—whether it's the intensity of the workouts or the type of exercises included.

One of my favorite features is the collection of informative articles that Carolyn includes as part of my program. They are not only easy to read, but they keep me engaged and are packed with helpful tips. I’m learning so much about fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness, and it really enhances my experience.

The exercise instructions are incredibly clear, with step-by-step guidance and short videos demonstrating each move. This has made it so much easier for me to ensure I'm performing each exercise correctly and safely. Plus, the videos give me the confidence to try new moves without feeling uncertain.

I also had a one-on-one live session with Carline, where she did a thorough assessment of me and all the problem areas from my past injuries. Together, we created a personalized plan tailored specifically to my needs. It’s now been added to the app, which makes it super easy for me to access and follow

Overall, I’m seeing great results and feel motivated to keep going, thanks to Carolyn’s expert guidance. If you’re looking for a personalized, comprehensive training experience, I highly recommend Carolyn and her app!

And it's wonderful to hear that the exercise videos and instructions are helping you feel confident about trying out new exercises. Seeing you get great results and feeling excited to keep going is exactly what I hope for with each client!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I can't wait to see your progress over the next few months. :)

All the best,

Absolutely love everything about this…

I don’t even know where to start with how amazing working with Carolyn is. I’ve been strength training for about 15 years with different trainers and in my first appointment with Carolyn, she taught me little fixes to almost every exercise that significantly improved the movement. I feel the work in all the right places now thanks to her. And every piece of the workout has some kind of evidence based foundation which is so refreshing. You know the information she shares is accurate and valuable. Something unique for me as well, considering how many trainers I’ve worked with in the past, is how she focuses on health as opposed to vanity/looks/aesthetic. The point is to be stronger and healthier. It’s also so comfortable working out in her home. She has everything you need and it’s private which helped me feel more comfortable and supported. Not to mention how easy it is to get there and the ample street parking (on top of her long driveway). Seriously cannot say enough how much of a game changer working with Carolyn has been and I didn’t even get to mention the app she uses for you to workout on your own. So amazing!!! Don’t sleep on this opportunity :)

Thank you so much! This means a lot to me, especially coming from someone with so much training experience. I'm so glad the form tweaks are making a big difference, that's one of the most satisfying aspects of coaching! It's been such a pleasure working with you, and I'm really happy to hear that the focus on strength and health resonates with you.

All the best,
Carolyn

Inspiring home-based trainer

I am not a gym person. I've tried training on my own a few times, but I struggled with finding the right set of exercises and knowing how to do them correctly. I love this trainer and the app as well. There are videos showing form, detailed things to pay attention to for each exercise, and a timer as well. I've been thoroughly enjoying my exercise regime, and I noticed a difference after only a couple of weeks. Highly recommend.
