We are a couple in our late 30s who were struggling to build healthy habits, like working out, amidst our busy schedules. Then we discovered couples personal training with Karina, and it has been the secret sauce to get us back at it! Karina is inclusive, encouraging, flexible and accommodating. Her motto is "you are enough" and it is so true! Karina is fantastic at developing fitness plans that work for each person, even with different fitness levels or health needs. We can attest she is a great fit for both beginners and advanced. We also never realized how much can be done with so little equipment. Karina brings her own items if you want, so you don't have to worry about having your own equipment. Karina is helping us get healthier, and we have fun doing it too! We have been working with Karina weekly since March 2024, and could not more highly recommend her services.

If you are looking for friendly, professional guidance in starting a workout routine KarinaEMFitness might just be for you!!!  Being a woman with a disability,  I and others like me have long been lost in navigating the world of fitness programs.  Working together with Karina we've been able to devise a fitness package that works for my specific needs...despite the isolation that has come with 2020 I feel connected and cared about as I forge ahead to meet my fitness goals!  Many thanks Karina 

   I cannot say enough good things about Karina and her workouts! Her Sunday half-half online classes have really been helping me beat the winter blues this January. They are the perfect mix of  high-energy cardio dance to get your heart rate up, with some HIIT  training afterwards that really lets you feel the burn. Karina's joy is infectious, and by the end of the class I feel like my whole body is smiling! Karina thoughtfully offers adaptations throughout, meaning this class is super accessible for all levels - whether you work out regularly and want to be challenged, or want to ease into it or take care of an injury.She creates a super positive, safe, and inclusive space and just wants to help you feel your best! 

Karina is a force! Her dedication to deeply supporting personal needs for each and all is a hallmark of her approach. 

As a medically-fragile retiree, I requested Karina’s support for my fitness goals  through online personal training.

 Karina continues to deliver a graduated fitness program of challenge and support. She has a gentle manner, great sense of humour, boundless athleticism and a deep well of energy that keeps me motivated and inspired. She makes every session fun! I feel very safe with the movement work as she has made personalized and precise recommendations based on my needs and strengths. It is a privilege to learn with such a joyful, talented, and passionate coach.  

I look forward to every single session.

Highest recommendation!

Karina is phenomenal! Having tried unsuccessfully for a while through other options to find a fitness plan that worked for my body and schedule, I almost gave up.
Then I reached out to Karina because her energy is warm, sincere and simply encouraging. She always begins by asking about what my body is feeling and she listens to my responses. She is truly remarkable. I'm a menopausal woman who has been carrying weight for quite a while. Karina has been helping me find a path to a leaner, stronger body (I can even plank now). I look forward to our sessions each week.
Highly recommend Karina! She is a gift!!

 I loved my time with Karina! I did a few online group classes and a one month program plan. Her energy is just amazing! She's encouraging, and her feedback is honest and helpful. I love how inquisitive she was when trying to get to the root of any issues or confusion I was having.

 Thanks for your half Half classes Karina - They always put me in a great mood and are the only way I can get myself to workout on Zoom these days! Fun music, a time to let loose and get a good cardio workout. I always appreciate your energy and attentiveness during the strengthening to make sure we are using the correct form. The options for modifications is also always appreciated! Every friend I've brought out to join always gets why I've been trying to get them to join for months! 

 I freaking adore Karina!!! She's like a fitness fairy godmother from the eighties. She is super knowledgeable and accommodating. She listens and keeps me on track. Her dance warm ups are just what I need to forget about my stresses from the week. I am able to work out consistently for the first time ever. Everyone needs a Karina in their life!

Karina is so adaptable to individual needs! She researches conditions and tailors workouts to what best supports her clients. Her enthusiasm and genuine interest and care shines through and is the best motivation. Thank you, Karina!

I have never loved the gym so much until I met Karina! Her energy is so enthusiastic! Her smile lights up a room!!! Her Dance Cardio classes are amazing and I look forward to them every week, including her Personal Training Sessions, and Low Impact Classes. I love that she introduces me to music that I haven't heard before. She makes the gym so much fun and entertaining- I look forward to it every time!

After suffering a sports-related injury, I stopped working out and gained a bunch of weight. I was discouraged and didn't know what to do. Then I found Karina. With her help and guidance, not only was I able to get back to being active, but I was able to do it in a fun and safe way! Thank you, Karina!

Karina’s positive energy and infectious smile is so welcoming.  She really knows how to get a person grooving and moving their bodies.  Her cardio dance sessions are a fantastic way to start the day. In the population we support, we like to find ways to make fitness fun, in an accepting environment and a place where each individual can go at their own pace. Karina’s kind demeanour and fun choreography make Cardio Dance PERFECT!
