Our Coaches

Karen Poole

Mama first, fitness enthusiast second. A certified personal trainer since 2014, once I had kids I quickly discovered my need for exercise took on a whole new meaning. I can’t wait to share my philosophy on working out for your own fitness, energy boost and mental health. I know not all moms can exercise without their kids, so my workouts are stroller friendly. Bring your kids, lot of snacks, and let’s train together!

I have 5 years of experience working with mom’s and kids in an outdoor fitness environment, both as a client and as a certified instructor.
