Karlee kannenberg
Co-Founder
NASM CPT
Karlee began her fitness journey in 2017 but her love for it really came a couple of years later in 2019, when she started working as a Physical Therapist Technician. Working in that profession helped her learn about how physical fitness can prevent many of the injuries she was seeing in her patients.
Karlee transitioned from Physical Therapy into Personal Training in 2022 by enrolling in National Academy Of Sports Medicine. From there she has worked with many individuals, customizing each of her clients' programs by carefully crafting exercises that push them while keeping them engaged and excited to see their progress. Taking into account their personal goals, experience, preferences, and limitations in mind.
Everyone deserves the right to good health and to be happy with themselves inside and out. Starting your journey may not be easy, just remember that we were all beginners at some point.
