18.02.2022 #repost Too funny!

07.02.2022 I love a nice toasty Brekky, but sometimes I need a light meal depending on my morning activities ChefRay’s fruit salad with a glass of probiotic Kefir is the perfect pick me up for dealing with sweat and princesses

25.01.2022 #covidbargain When one on my online clients score a REAL bargain! $20 for the whole lot!!... Looks like they have never been used Have you ever bought any type of exercise equipment, used it a couple of times then decided Yeah, Nahhhh?

25.01.2022 We have some lovely young girls who have recently joined our tribe. I think 2 of them will need me to keep an eye out for their secret filming This was tonight’s Stretch session and was actually a whole lot more relaxing than it appears

24.01.2022 Well done to tonight’s Step Tabata girls! These lovely girls ages range from 20s to 60s and they all enjoy each other’s company Cardio ... Body weight 20secs work 10 secs rest 4min rounds Total 30 mins Modifications provided #getingettonedgetout

23.01.2022 Air con on Abs, Butts & Thighs 30 mins30 Ab section Apparently I can’t count5555

23.01.2022 Jess conquered Tomaree!! She told me it was a real struggle to climb Tomaree before getting fit and healthy. Positive outcomes like physical challenges revisited are signs of true success rather than a number on the scales... Jess V, age 20. Total loss 26kgs. The gorgeous smile remains! Results from her online 12 week TRANSFORMATION programme.... Loss of 11kgs. Loss of 42cm. From Jess.... I have lost 26kg since my heaviest weight! I am beyond proud of myself, if you had asked me 12 months ago if I could loose 26kg I would have said it is impossible. I never thought I’d be able to do it. I lost 15 kg on my own before starting Karen’s 12 week body transformation program, I would start to eat healthy and exercise, last a week then stop. Karen helped me stay on track and stay motivated- she kept me knowing that I would have to check in with her at the end of the week. She gave me tips and tools I can now use forever, things I never had any idea about before joining her program. I have since lost 11kg in the 12 program. For anyone not knowing where to start I’d say just start, start right now! There’s no better time then the present! And most importantly YOU’VE GOT THIS!! Well done to you Jess! X

23.01.2022 30 years later and STEP aerobics never gets old!! ( unlike me, ha! ) I love introducing STEP to new generations who have never done it before, in their life One 30 minute session will take you from Klutz to looking like a STEP superstar! ... STEP is an aerobic fat burner that targets your legs and derrière big time! An added bonus is increasing your daily step count: we average 3000-5000 steps in 30 mins! #steppingismuchmorefunthanwalking If you think you have to be co-ordinated to do STEP, think again. You are taught basic patterns in the first 5 mins and then we keep building on them until we sort of nearly get it right by 30mins If you aren’t having fun and laughing while exercising, then you haven’t exercised with PT by Karen and clients!

22.01.2022 Good morning and Happy Xmas! I just want to thank all of you who take an interest in our business and Like, Comment and Share what we enjoy doing which is basically keeping healthy and happy with a fantastic bunch of humans! We sweat, we make noise, we love our music and we do the best that we can while being respectful and mindful of our fellow exercisers. ... The Studio is our second home, we are a close family and we laugh a lot! We love that you love to Follow us and we hope that we can keep you amused for another year in 2021 xx

21.01.2022 #envious This is a relaxing weekly ritual of one of our Pilates Instructors This image conjures up the feeling of luxuriating in a 5 star Spa... What do you do to relax at home? ........

20.01.2022 Bron, one day after looking at a family photo, decided that she had to make a big decision. That decision led to a huge change in not just physical appearance, but significantly, a turn around in self esteem, confidence and happiness! I can vouch for this! ... When I first met Bron, she had just joined our Studio as a new client and was covered up in a huge tee as if she was hiding from everybody. Bron was very quiet, didn’t really talk much and seemed shy ( like most of our new girls). Little did we know that Bron was slowly going to turn into a firecracker! 16 months later with lots of effort in our exercise classes, a couple of my online TRANSFORMATION programmes and then joining our private Lifting sessions, Bron is now over 20.5kgs lighter and has lost an AMAZING 83cm off her body with 37cm coming off her belly, plus her butt is now half of the size of when she started! I really appreciate that Bron has consented to sharing her story with our Followers as I want to reiterate what I always say...... True transformation of body and emotion takes time. You have to work hard towards the person that you want to be and get rid of the previous you that was making you unhappy in every way. #notadiet Bron took 16 months to reach this point right now. THIS IS NOT THE END OF HER TRANSFORMATION When you have lost a lot of body fat - for some people, a new problem arises. Loose, excess skin. If this is a concern, surgery is definitely an option for some. Quite a few of my clients over the past decades have chosen surgery. We need to get real and talk about this. How we may want surgery but worry that people will talk about us . ( who gives a s*t what some random thinks?! ) How it scares us. eg pain. Financially, can we afford the time off work? Who will be supportive? Will we be happy with the result? Bron is considering surgery and taking the first steps AND she is going to share her story for all of the women who support our business page and wonder about this subject. No amount of exercise,magic cream or whatever other BS is on the market will lift loose skin. Thankyou Bron x You are one of the most hard working and determined beings who I have had the pleasure of training!

20.01.2022 Beautiful home grown flowers and choccys will not appease the beast and stop her from punishing you at Lifting Thankyou! Xx These have pride of place in the Studio in my absence

20.01.2022 Recovery is essential! On Tuesday, I taught 4 classes, went for a walk to clear my head, ran 20 mins on the treddy, and practiced some new tracks which resulted in over 26,000 steps taken in exercise. I am not a fan of excessive exercising as it defeats the purpose of achieving your goals. Bodies need recovery time in order to reap benefits both physically and mentally.... On Wed, I took all day off work and slept in and enjoyed resting, eating well and playing with my fur babies in the sunshine. I also begrudgingly cleaned my bathroom. My message to you..... Ensure that you let your body recuperate if you have done a lot of exercise. You won’t put on weight. You won’t lose fitness. You won’t lose purpose. You will feel refreshed. You will be energetic. You will enjoy gainz Do not thrash yourself every day. Enjoy NOT exercising as much as you enjoy exercising Have you achieved balance?.....

19.01.2022 Weekend afternoons are for drilling down into tight muscles with a gun Thankyou for sourcing this little tightness reliever, Allan! Everybody will experience discomfort at some time due to lifestyle restrictions, poor posture, exercise, dehydration and stress just to name a few. ... Some people choose to live in discomfort as they think they cannot make time to look after their body or they are under the assumption that a remedial massage treatment is too expensive. The feeling of supple, full functioning muscles and increase in mobility is priceless. I have Massage therapy, I have an industrial Vibration Machine at The Studio and now I have this brilliant massage gun to ease tightness Do you have massages? .....

15.01.2022 For most people finding the previous healthier and confident YOU requires professional assistance. Alisa has been an absolute delight to train as an online TOTAL TRANSFORMATION client for this past 12 weeks! Results: 12.1kg weight loss. ... 69cm body decrease! What makes me really happy is that Alisa is putting into action what she has learnt and has just lost another 1.1kg last week after finishing her programme! From Alisa........ All I can say is thanks for helping me get me back. The 12 week programme was hard at first, but became routine after a few weeks. I am back exercising most days and have my energy levels back, which is essential with my 2 active boys. I really enjoyed the online participation as I am not an in your face person. If you are looking to get YOU back, give it a go, you have nothing to lose - only weight!

13.01.2022 It feels like weeks away from The Studio but it was only a couple of days! Our bellies are very full and we feel a tad sluggish from over indulging BUT it was so relaxing and enjoyable! Don’t think that now you have to smash yourself in exercise as a punishment ... Whether you have had a couple of days off or a couple of weeks off, ease back into moving your body and do some thinking about what you would really like to achieve in January. Yep..... Think about your short term goals FIRST. Examples might be..... to take Magnesium daily drink 2-3L water every day complete a minimum of 10 mins exercise per day read 1 book in a month do some baking once a week cut back on alcohol get a makeover! Comment here with a short term goal for January! Mine? Eat choccy every SECOND day instead of every day. #januarygoal https://magis.to/v/LwQWZlwAGm0hAE1hCzE?l=vsm&o=i&c=c

09.01.2022 YOU are their role model. If you are inactive, negative and/or sad and angry, they will watch your habits and emotions and copy. The best gift that you can pass on is good health and habits without being obsessive about ANYTHING. ... Show your children that life is for living!

09.01.2022 Fresh veges from the garden #chefray busy making his own vege au gratin Breadcrumbs, grated cheese and his own sauce to go on top. ... I think it’s going to be very chilliesh he yells while stirring the concoction. Bring it on! says I, who loves chilli #loveveggies

08.01.2022 3 DAYS TO GO!! Lauren is proof that CONSISTENT movement can assist in experiencing a healthy, happy pregnancy She is our pregnant pocket rocket! ... The question is, will I see her at The Studio in the next 3 days? #itstime! From Lauren...... I commenced with Karen about 18 months ago primarily as a means to lose weight. I was a full time working mother to three gorgeous boys but was putting in some long hours at work and everything above my own health. I knew something had to change and my own health needed to become a priority, particularly if I was going to keep up with the kids. I started with step classes and eventually built up the confidence to try STRONG NATION, circuits and Lifting sessions. My husband and I knew we wanted another baby, however, I refused to conceive until I lost some weight. So, I joined one of Karen’s 12 week online TOTAL TRANSFORMATION programmes in January and during this, fell pregnant. Karen was extremely discreet and provided appropriate modifications to my programs in the first trimester and has continued to do so until the very end. I am currently going into my 40th week of pregnancy and have been fortunate enough to be still continuing classes due to experienced instructors that have provided a safe environment for me to do so. I am often questioned as to why I am still participating in classes and not at home resting and the reason is I feel amazing and still have great energy levels, which is no doubt due to the exercise. This pregnancy has been far easier than my others and there have been so many benefits, including reduced fluid, minimal back aches, decreased cellulite and an overall positive state of mental health. As for my overall journey with Karen’s Personal Training, I have gained far more than weight loss. I have formed friendships, gained confidence, acquired strength and re-gained a love for exercise while continuing to improve my fitness. I still have a long way to go until I finish meeting my goals, however, I have learnt that consistency is the key to achieving them.

08.01.2022 Good morning and Happy New Year! Stay tuned in 2021 for bigger and more exciting projects for PT by Karen! Stay safe and be nice to others x

07.01.2022 If you could only choose ONE format of exercise to do for 12 months, what would you do? .. Me? Running!

I WILL be in a new Studio with NEW and EXCITING programmes for my clients These are not things that I HOPE to happen. I am making them happen right now. You?........

06.01.2022 https://fb.watch/1tR0DE-gU8/ Gotta love a food baby!

05.01.2022 We have home grown baby tomatoes in abundance atm so I had a crack at making sundried tomatoes ( in the oven, not in the sun, as my fur babies or other creatures that live out here would have delighted in finding them, ha!) Just poured over a nice garlic olive oil, sea salt and cracked pepper. Baked at 100 degrees for about 2.5hrs. ... Very nice to drop into my salads! Thankyou to client, Anna, for the suggestion!

04.01.2022 #epiphany My work life is constant with not only daily physical demand, but also helping with client mindset. When I have a rare break, I usually tend to exercise a lot as it means that I can do it just for myself without thinking about anyone else. ... I just had a wonderful 5 days of NOT running, NOT doing pushups or burpees and NOT doing any type of my usual type of exercise. Instead, I hiked, I relaxed, had the best ever Swedish massage and facial, ate loads of fresh veges, salads and cold pressed juices, slept soundly and really rested my body End result? I feel 10 years younger, my muscles are refreshed and no aching Everybody needs to take a break. I am so happy that I feel refreshed. Am I looking forward to getting back to the Studio? Yep!!
