Warrior Strategy Now

I grew up a professional figure skater & dancer, but really lost track of my motivation for consistency with working out, until I met Karen about 4 years ago in her spin classes. From the moment I stepped into her class, I felt more connected to my body & mind than I had in the past 8 years.
I truly can’t begin to tell you what an impact training with Karen has had on my life in every way. Her ability to connect, motivate, and work with each student to make them more open, strong, centered, connected and aware is a priceless gift! I am so happy to have come to connect with her. She truly has been helping me become the best version of me.
Her body sculpt classes are incredibly challenging & rewarding. I notice my body becoming so much stronger inside & out. I am seeing better tone & posture. In addition to that, her classes have definitely increased my endurance for the cardio I do. Karen’s close attention to detail and mantra that the energy of how your present yourself begins with your posture, has caused me to grow into a more open person both physically & mentally. There is never a dull moment with her strong personality and outgoing energy. She has many regular students who consistently attend her classes creating a strong sense of community.
I cant recommend her enough. If you have the opportunity to work with her she is truly the best there is!

About three weeks ago maybe. I took Karen’s baseline warrior class and i got lucky as it was practically a semi private class — I went there during off peak hours. The class was only thirty mins but wow it has made such a difference to me. She pointed out my bad habits during the class and I have been more mindful ever since … What do you know. That small change made SUCH a big difference for me … Honestly I have tried to work on my problem areas for so long and this is seriously the first time I have seen my body once again change after the nasty plateaus in the past. that small change have made all the difference in my other fitness endeavours it actually made me go on Unilocal and write this! I’m finally seeing my abs and waist line tighten up and my neck and shoulder pain has been nearly non existent since! who doesn’t want that? Also Luca is so adorable! I will definitely be back!

Today I took my first class at Warrior Strategy with Karen. The class was awesome! Meeting Karen, I immediately loved her energy and humor. Anytime I was about to give up, she’d say something encouraging or make me laugh and it kept me going.
The class itself was amazing. I’ve been on a huge health kick before going home for five days (because God knows I gain twelve pounds and eat like a savage) and this was the perfect class to give that added tone and strength my body needs.
I can’t wait to go back!

I am not lying when I say that Warrior Strategy Now will have nothing but a positive impact on your life. An amazing outlet to have fun and build your «Madonna arms» in the process. Karen brings an awesome energy and attracts genuine good people to her classes. Throughout my two years training with Karen I have accomplished fitness goals physically and also mentally. I definitely look forward to each and every workout with Karen — she is the absolute best!

Warrior Strategy completely changed my life. The way Karen the instructor trains you is like an outer body experience. She is so in tune with your energy. After a few classes I actually started to move different in my everyday life & somehow it keeps getting better. I have more energy & literally enjoy life more. Her training is so innovative & inspiring. My life is better after every time I train with her. I always thought working out was a horrible chore but now I can’t wait till the next session. Thanks Karen. You’re amazing.

Karen’s class is not only the best gift you could do for your body, but a great start for pursuing balance in many aspects of your life.
First of all the baseline for this class is high, higher than any I have taken before. The exercises are specific to fast track muscle toning, specific to angles and timing and range of movement. Karen will call out on you if you slack, come fix your posture, make it burn so much more and in a few weeks it all will be worth it.
Karen also has a very special talent of connecting to people. In training she understands how your body reacts and what it can take, and in class she makes a room of strangers feel like a social evening! She remembers people’s names, encourages sharing of stories to forget the burn and train your body to move perfectly even when distracted, and after a few weeks, the class feels like a get together with friends for a challenging workout. Her energy is extremely encouraging and motivating in a uniquely positive way. She’s amazing, I could not recommend her enough!

The best workout instructor I ever had! I’m not an athletic person normally but Karen helped motivate me and I actually loved going to spin class when she was teaching it.

Karen was instrumental in my rehabilitation from two herniated disks on my back. She had me working out with a focus on the exercises that got my back better faster. I’d recommend her to anybody who wants to get results quick and stay healthy. Took her spinning class a couple of weeks ago and the energy of the room was up to the roof!

Karen is nothing short of AMAZING. You will find yourself doing things you never thought possible. Your body will be in the best shape it’s ever been. You won’t really be able to figure out how you suddenly started looking SO much better. And you’ll feel refreshed and supported at the same time.
I started working with Karen after a long period of injury that sidelined me. Although I had been a dancer many years ago, I switched careers and had spent many years just working out – until this injury 4 years ago. It was very difficult for me to find a way to work out, as both my arms were partially disabled. Largely relegated to my physical therapy exercises, many activities were just unfeasible – or so I thought.
I had pretty much stopped working out; and by the time I got to Karen, I needed a lot of toning and to get my shape back. The first thing she taught me was how to stand and walk really using my muscles optimally. The first time I did it outside, I was exhausted! But then I got used to it, and with that ALONE I started just dropping weight. Just walking right!
Then the workouts changed; there were times when they were very difficult, yet super targeted; and then sessions that were gentler and more restorative. Weight continued to come off, the shape started coming back and my stamina improved. Slowly but surely, I started being able to use my arms in ways I had been told would probably never happen again. No kooky exercise fads, no worrying, no 2 hours at the gym per day (or even close). MANY people have commented on how much better I look, and I’m wearing clothes now from before my pregnancy (16 years ago!). There was no dieting, no craziness – just intense attention, or as Karen likes to call it, «in-​tension.» Everything is about being really present with the workout and holding your body in the optimal way to squeeze every ounce of benefit out of each exercise. That’s why it’s so effective. You do a lot less – you just do it better and smarter.
Karen brings a really unique point of view and makes the workouts very specific; you work muscles in ways they never have before and it’s much more efficient on the body. What I also appreciate is that she really walks the talk and takes very good care of herself – nothing crazy (she’s even ended a couple of our workouts by handing me a cookie!) but healthy, and moderate. She sees the whole person and puts your physical fitness into a larger context that really makes sense. She also brings an infectious positive outlook, and that great mixture of sensitivity and tough love. She is a total genius at this – it will spoil you for any other workout or trainer. At the very least, get to one of her classes. There’s just nothing out there like it, and you’ll never want to go back to your old way of doing things!

I remember the first time I met Karen. I was determined to get back in shape and decided to go to one of the ‘Hover Ride’ classes at a gym. I thoroughly enjoyed myself! A spin class beyond compare! Of all the classes I had been to, spin or otherwise, Karen was the first person who encouraged me to push myself to do better.
I have been training with Karen and the experience has been absolutely amazing. She knows how my body reacts to stress. She’s not only helped understand my body but also gave me an insight into my soul; to carry myself with intention. Within a few months of training with Karen, I have gone from meditating for less than a minute to meditating for 22 minutes! She made me realize that physical fitness is futile without a healthy and happy mind. All her classes are amazing. She is brilliant, super talented and literally radiates energy! She’s always mixing it up and there is never a dull moment while working out! She’s the best! :-D
