Karen Cina

I’ve worked with Karen for 22 years. She’s very knowledgeable and has adapted my workout routine through two surgeries and a few injuries. I have osteoarthritis in both knees, and by targeting exercises to strengthen the muscles, my pain is almost eliminated. She ensures I work the correct muscles by paying attention to my form. I like that she switches things up to keep my workouts “fresh.” I don’t know how she does it, but she remembers the settings on the machines and how much weight to set! It’s obvious she’s very dedicated and cares greatly about her clients. I love working with Karen!

I have trained with Karen Cina since 2014, when she helped me rehabilitate after right rotator cuff surgery. I have increased my strength, improved my balance, and augmented my endurance with weekly sessions. Karen is highly knowledgeable and creative when working with clients and is very careful in her recommendations. She’s even helped improve my golf game! As a retired medical doctor, I see a kindred spirit in Karen. She is an amazing “healer” in her approach to Personal Training, and she truly cares about her clients.

Thanks to Karen, I am an overweight desk jockey in the best shape of my life. The past several years have thrown numerous health challenges at me, including a heart condition and several joint injuries. Karen has navigated my training through that minefield effortlessly, pivoting away from specific exercises and muscle groups and focusing on those healthy enough to exercise and essential for supporting the injured areas. For example, sciatica prevented me from doing deadlifts. Karen wisely substituted glute bridges as a temporary panacea. In so doing, Karen enabled me to maintain my workout rhythm despite the injury. People constantly underestimate just how skilled she is as a trainer and how adaptable she can be in the face of obstacles. I know my current good health is largely due to her guidance, for which I am eternally grateful.

Karen has been helping me with my fitness goals for over 3 years, and thanks to her guidance, I am in the best shape I’ve been in over 30 years. Karen considers how I’m feeling and adjusts my exercise routine for the best possible results.

Beyond her technical skills, Karen genuinely cares about the well-being of her clients. I am beyond thankful for all of her help. I am stronger than I ever thought possible.
If you have a chance to work out with Karen, do so. You will be thrilled with your results. She will inspire and motivate you to be your best self, just as she has done for me!

I’m so happy about the way I’ve been playing golf this year. I’ve been working out with Karen for quite a few years. This past year, I asked her to help me improve my golf game through our training sessions. Yesterday, I played my best game ever. I have seen a tremendous improvement in my flexibility and power. I know much of it is because of my biweekly workouts with my wonderful trainer, Karen. Yay, Karen!

Karen helped me get in great shape for my daughter’s wedding. I trained with her twice a week and saw great results. Now, I work with her to motivate me to continue exercising.

I have trained with Karen for nearly three years. She helps me improve my strength and endurance as I participate in increasingly demanding runs and triathlons. She adapts workouts to my needs to help me achieve results and avoid injuries. She does this by focusing on form and technique. Thanks, Karen!

I have been training with Karen for three to four years. I appreciate her approach. She puts the “personal” in personal training. She designs full-body workouts to meet my specific needs for strength and endurance. It is not a workout “routine.” Karen mixes up the exercises to better strengthen individual muscles as well as the entire muscle group. She focuses on proper form to avoid injury, which I greatly appreciate at 67 years old. Karen is an experienced trainer who has helped me remain fit enough to enjoy a very active lifestyle.
