fitness4good - fitness for good - personal training

Empowering you to create the body you want, for good.

I will create a plan that is unique to you, completely personalized, taking into consideration your goals, lifestyle, schedule, current habits and needs.

Are you ready for a change? Are you tired of the same old pattern? Losing weight and then gaining it back? There are no magic pills or powders to buy. You will learn to eat the way nature intended. Your body will thank you with more energy, better sleep, flexibility, endurance and self esteem.

My "Whole Approach" is all encompassing.

EAT, MOVE, FEEL and THINK.

Step one is EAT! Eat the way nature intended, eat to fuel your body, eat to live the life you want.

At fitness4good, I never use the word "diet". A diet is something that you "go on" for a while to change your body and then, once you get the body you want, you "go off" the diet. Have you noticed that this never works?

The "Whole Approach" considers eating as one part of the program to get you where you want to be. I will teach you how to eat real food from the grocery store, no highly processed, pre-packaged junk to buy. Before we meet for our first meeting, I will ask you to journal what you eat for 3 days. We will discuss your individual desires and goals. We will come up with a plan for you that will change the way you feel drastically and quickly.

Step two is MOVE! If you want to change your body, you need to change your behavior. Part of that is moving.

I will come up with moves for you that will challenge your body. The human body is an amazing machine. When you challenge your body, it gets stronger. It adapts to whatever you throw at it and you will find that exercises get easier and easier for you to do. In order to continue getting the maximum benefit, your program needs to evolve with you.

At our first meeting, we will take measurements and make calculations. Then I will come up with a plan that is in balance with your current level and goals. What would you like to do? Lose weight? Reduce body fat? Run a marathon? I will help you set and attain whatever challenge you are willing to put out in front of you.

Step three is THINK! Any time we want to make a change, we have to get our heads in the right place. Do you ever find yourself doing things that are counter productive to what you really want because it's either what you've always done or because everyone else is doing it? When starting this program, think of it as the first day of the rest of your life.

Make a commitment to yourself to look for the positive changes that are happening all around you and within you. Instead of saying to yourself, "I'm on a diet", say, "I am on the path to create the body I've always wanted, for good." Picture yourself attaining your goal. See yourself making progress every day. Take the power back. Have the courage to experiment with your life and be open to whatever change it brings. Sometimes the changes that occur will surprise you in ways you never even dreamed.

Step four is FEEL! Now is the time to feel different! Do you know that almost half of all Americans take at least one prescriptive drug? The use of anti-depressants has tripled in the last few decades. We are medicating ourselves so that we don't feel instead of taking charge of our lives. Instead of choosing not to feel anything, how about recognizing what is happening in your body and celebrating feeling powerful and taking charge of your body and your life.

Tune in to what your body is telling you. Doesn't it make sense that if you eat crap you will feel like crap? If your body isn't used to moving, it will feel foreign and uncomfortable. Let's change the course! Right now Americans are on a path of increasing rates of obesity and disease that is preventable. Too many of our children are inactive and overweight. Do you realize that our children do more of what we do than what we say?

Are you ready for a change?

Hello! I'm Karen Wiens and I'm excited to work with you and help you achieve your goals! My journey towards health began over two decades ago. I was 50 pounds overweight, I had extremely low self esteem, I was obsessed with food, hated to exercise and all around, a miserable person. I went on every fad diet known to man. Starving myself to some number on the scale I wanted to achieve, wrecking my metabolism and then I'd go back to my old ways and the pounds would pack on. I'd end up heavier than I was before I began whatever crazy diet I was trying. I played field hockey in high school and took a defense position because I hated to run.

Now at 41, I've run 3 marathons and I'm in the best shape of my life. It is my passion to help others reach their full potential!

I am a certified personal trainer through ACE (American Council on Exercise) and I'm ready to help you change your life and your fitness for good!

5K to Marathon:
One of my favorite accomplishments as a trainer is to turn a non-runner into a runner. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe I used to hate to run but it's true and when I think about the joy it brings me now, I want to help others discover it. Maybe you walk now but you are ready to take it to the next level. Or maybe you've run a couple of 5Ks but you need a new challenge. Let me help you set and meet your next challenging goal. Send me an email for a complimentary running program.

Triathlon
Swim. Bike. Run. Have you ever experienced the thrill of completing a triathlon? Putting the three disciplines together is an exhilarating experience! As a long time runner, choosing to add swimming and biking into the mix has reenergized my routine! Send me an email for a complimentary triathlon training program.
