Kara Meadows

Fitness Trainer

l grew up in an active family and played a  variety of sports all my life but my journey with fitness truly started when I made my drill team in high school. Being an athlete through dance led me to a further interest in movement, sports performance, and of course my health.

After being immersed in CrossFit for 7 years, I began coaching and personal training in 2014. I have my bachelor’s degree in exercise science and my NASM CPT certification. In those 10 years, I gained experience in group fitness, functional exercise, corrective exercise, strength and conditioning, Olympic weightlifting, and sports performance. The athletes I specialize in training are dance, cheer, soccer, volleyball, lacrosse, and hockey.

I take a holistic approach to training because I believe in a healthy state of mind, body, and spirit. Everything is connected. I truly love helping people from all walks of life move more efficiently and train with purpose. I am so grateful to spend my life investing in people’s lives in and outside the gym. You can expect me to hold you accountable, push you, and celebrate your wins! Let’s level up!

TESTIMONIALS

Came here for a spin class a week ago at the request of my best friend. Used my trial days and was hooked! I signed up after my 3rd class. The facility is super nice and clean, and the coaches and staff are great! Vibes are immaculate in the spin classes - Alesha is fantastic. The coaches are so kind and helpful to a beginner like me, and the staff are all helpful! Makes you want to come back. So glad I joined!
