As a 47-year-old female, former athlete with multiple injuries, I decided that something about my exercise routine needed to change. I was a cardio addict who was intimidated to start strength training. I knew it would make me stronger, make me less injury prone and give me better bone health. I research everything, and I knew I did not want to be just another body in a cross fit class. I wanted someone who was going to keep an eye on me. I found Karen right here on google reviews and then went to her website. She was perfect; female led and female owned. Her reviews were stellar.
I still had no idea what to expect and was a bit nervous. Within moments of meeting Karen, that all went out the window. She is generally one of the most supportive people I have ever met. I could not believe how much fun Karen makes workouts. I would have been there years ago if I knew that! I used to plan my workouts at home and would be incredibly hard on myself if I did not reach my goals, but showing up to work with Karen makes it easy—she makes the plans and sets the goals. I cannot tell you how much that changed my mood about exercising.
Karen is not just a trainer; she is good people. I say this because I spend 45 minutes with her 3x/week. When Karen Park enters your life, so does her support, her belief in you and her plan for you. There are few things I know for sure. One is that having Karen train me has changed my life for the better. I wish I would have known it sooner. I wish everyone could have Karen in their corner.

I am 62 years young. I was tired of being exhausted and needed to be accountable to someone other than myself. I saw Karen’s reviews and reached out . I am now making an investment in my life! Karen is fun, motivating, knowledgeable and fanatic when comes to form! I enjoy my sessions, I am feeling great, eating clean and am down 13 lbs!
I was referred to Raise the Bar by someone from my gym. Her recommendation was spot on! If you want to see results, reach out to Karen Park. She is a great motivator and very knowledgeable trainer. She has encouraged me to reach my goals and set new ones! Thank you, Karen Park!
