Our Story
From Struggle to Strength
Our story began in 2017 with our founder, Karen Meier, turning 52. When she faced a harsh reality—45 extra pounds, seven medications, constant fatigue, and a prediabetes diagnosis. After decades of failed fitness attempts and uninspiring workout trends, she knew it was time for a change.
A New Approach to Fitness
Determined to take control, Karen discovered strength training could naturally lower A1c levels. She picked up weights, worked with a trainer, and, for the first time, found a fitness routine that was empowering, engaging, and life-changing. In just 90 days, her A1c dropped below prediabetic levels, and over time, she reduced her medications to just one.
A Passion Turned Into Purpose
Fitness became more than just exercise—it became a lifestyle. At 60, Karen is in the best shape of her life, with a metabolic age of 52. Inspired by her journey, she became a Certified Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach in 2024 and a Certified Life Coach in 2021.
