real people. Real progress.

“I trained with Cara for about nine months in 2025 and 2026. I came to her because I wanted to get back to good health and fitness and she was there for me right from when my son was born, which was a rough year trying to balance everything with a new baby.”

  • What stands out about Cara’s coaching is how thoughtful she is. She paid real attention to my previous injuries and imbalances, and everything she recommended was built around that. We focused a lot on making sure my body was primed to do its best work instead of rushing into major lifts, which I needed, because for years I hadn't been focused on getting my muscles properly set up before training.

    Beyond the physical side, what I took away is a different approach to fitness altogether. I learned to slow down, listen to my body, and do the groundwork first. That patience has stuck with me.

    If you're considering working with Cara, especially if you're coming back after time off, dealing with old injuries, or juggling a lot in life, I can't recommend her enough. She meets you where you are and builds from there.

“Cara was recommended to me by a mutual friend. I was struggling with self-discipline regarding workouts, and wanted to get healthier and stronger. I was looking for someone experienced in working with clients with an eating disorder history. I also have a learning disability that makes my visual-spatial memory very poor, so I was hoping to find someone who could be sensitive in creating a workout plan.”

  • I worked with Cara for 3 years until I had to move. She is highly intelligent, talented and dedicated. Cara lives and breaths fitness. She quickly understood my body and its potential way better than I ever could! She had me do an amazing variety of exercises; Cara’s knowledge of exercises was super extensive, and she was always bringing new techniques from her own trainer, research etc. I regularly did cardio, legs, arms, and even relays and Ju Jitsu. Cara had me do exercises in between workouts to keep up my strength and stay in shape. I got way stronger- we never stopped increasing the weights- as well as healthier in lifestyle choices. Not only did I look significantly more fit, but I felt a lot better physically as well as emotionally. 

    Cara was always extremely sensitive about my eating disorder past. She never said or asked me to do anything that felt like it could endanger my eating disorder recovery, which I had been a fear of mine prior to starting personal training. 

    She was also ingenious when it came to working with my visual-spatial issues. Cara gave me accommodations/ modifications when it was hard for me to remember multi-step exercises, and got very creative so that I could still manage the more complex moves. Being able to fulfill my potential, as well as learn a bunch of exercises without the fear of injuring myself due to not knowing my limits or moving my body incorrectly (e.g. posture) gave me a lot more confidence. I used to hate sports because I lacked athleticism, and working with Cara gave me a new appreciation for movement and fitness without insecurity. She showed me I can still do well at something that is affected by my disability. 

    I gained a trusted and supportive friend through working with Cara. She’s also a great listener and is hilarious! I would recommend her to literally everyone.

“I initially came to coaching because I wanted to improve my balance and build a stronger core and upper body. Working with Cara has been a wonderful experience. She is caring, knowledgeable, and truly an expert at what she does. I especially appreciate how she tailors each session to individual needs and goals.”

  • Through our work together, I’ve become stronger and more aware of my body and how I move. I’ve gained greater confidence in my abilities and a better understanding of the importance of balance, strength, and mindful movement.

    I would absolutely recommend Cara to anyone looking for a supportive, knowledgeable coach who takes the time to understand your individual needs and helps you work toward your goals. She makes every session feel purposeful and personalized!
