Testimonials

I have been training with Karmen for the past year. I'm a life-long runner, but at age 65, with a recent hip replacement, I feel stronger than I ever have thanks to her guidance. I appreciate Karmen's extensive knowledge of exercise science, passion to encourage, and focus on my individual needs, goals and capabilities. She has pushed me hard, yet training injury-free to achieve maximum results, she has fostered habits that will keep me aging healthy and strong. I am confident that I will accomplish my next goal--backpacking in the Grand Canyon.

If you are tired of the same old exercise routines and lack proper motivation, then you must have a heart to heart with Karmen.  She possesses an infectious ability to keep you fired up during workout sessions. I have had back problems and have tried a variety of solutions. Daily physical activities were difficult.....I would walk into a room and immediately start looking for a chair. Karmen put together a series of exercises to give me the stamina to live a better life. Rotator Cuff injuries resulted in one surgery and a miserable rehabilitation. After my second incident, my Doctor and I decided we would fix the shoulder with therapy only, and Karmen was the answer. We have added 20 yards to my tee shots. Go see Karmen.  She will make you feel better.

I have been a client of Karmen's for over 3 years. She was the best choice I made that day. It is her positive encouragement when I say I can't and she pushes me and says "I know you can! that keeps me motivated to try to stay healthy and keep my body moving. Her big smile, endless energy and dedication to YOUR success will make her your best choice.

I originally started training with Karmen to maintain my physical fitness for athletics. However, after years of working with her I have not only become a more physically fit individual but I have also had rehabilitation benefits for my various surgeries and sports injuries. Karmen not only helps you to look and feel more fit but she also helps you to become more confident in your abilities and in your own body. Karmen has pushed me past what I thought that I was capable of, but she does so in a way that I have never experienced any injuries from her workouts.

It is both a privilege and honor to be able to write this testimonial of Karmen Towne & is long overdue. I have been working with Karmen for over 3 years and she is simply incredible! I first started working with Karmen when she was working at the YMCA. Both my primary care physician and chiropractor recommended I look into working with a personal trainer to address proper training techniques for my intense Sacroilliac (SI) joint, Piriformis, arthritis of my back, neck, shoulder and rotator cuff pain. When I had my first assessment with her, the pain was so severe I could barely walk one lap around the track. Working with Karmen has turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made toward my physical wellbeing and consider her an integral part of my health care team. When Karmen left the YMCA to pursue another opportunity, I followed her & continue to work with her on a weekly basis. She has developed and tailored a program for me focusing on the issues I stated earlier. Today I can literally go down the list and check off “yes” to all the benefits that have come from working with Karmen. Body strength, stamina, endurance, better posture and balance, the list goes on. Karmen is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and passionate about wellness and fitness. She is always well prepared and keeps things interesting during each training session. She is also a very kind and caring person, who never hesitates “going the extra mile” for her clients to achieve their individual fitness goals. Karmen also provides just the right amount of motivation for me to push myself just a little bit more to go beyond what I think I can do. I can truly say I have never felt better since working with Karmen and at my age of 66 years, that says it all.
