ABOUT KARLA

TRANSFORMING LIFESTYLES

KARLA ADAMS | Athlete, Metabolic Coach in Clean Eating & Weight Training

I’m a professional athlete with over 29 years of experience in exercise science, sports nutrition, and body transformation across almost every demographic of body types, limitations, and goals.

For over 20 years, I ran a 3,600-square-foot training facility with more than 160 members and a staff of five. Today I work virtually with clients across the United States and parts of Europe. Clients train either from home or at a gym. For most people, training from home is what makes long-term lifestyle change possible. Muscles do not care where you train them—they care that you train them properly and consistently.

Consumer culture often puts too much emphasis on buildings and corporations. If you hired a financial planner, your success would come from having the right plan and following it, not from the building the planner works in. I find many people give their power away to buildings, corporations, and consumer ideas, and that is one of the top reasons results never turn into a lasting lifestyle.

My clients’ success is what drives me to continually develop my programs and approach. With decades of experience in exercise science and sports nutrition, I have worked with almost every demographic and achieved consistent, real-world results. I use custom formulas and data that come from your body, lifestyle, and goals, and then coach you on how to master that system.

Most people do not know the true definition of metabolism. They think it's digestion or calorie burning, which is only one small piece. Your metabolism includes your mind, body, and spirit.

I have dedicated my life and program to mapping out how to optimize the amazing body God gifted us through exercise science that avoids high-risk injury exercises and correcting bad form habits, sports nutrition, and one-ingredient foods from the earth, while helping people divorce the consumerism that corporations sell to increase profits. 2 Timothy 2:15 — Research everything and rightly divide the truth.

I was featured on the cover of Muscle & Fitness Hers (2022) and have appeared on eight additional magazine covers, along with multiple 1–4 page press features focused on body transformation. For 10 years, I competed in half marathons, maintaining a 7:30 mile pace, and competed in Japan alongside Ngugi Mizuki (2004 Olympic Gold Medalist). I was also featured twice on KTLA Channel 5 and Good Day LA Channel 7.

Karla has lived in England and traveled to Japan seven times as part of an official delegation of the City of Riverside.

My programs are designed to be a complete resource for mastering metabolic health, clean eating, fat loss, muscle building, longevity, and strength training, so you can transform your body and live a strong, fit life every day.

PRESS & EVENTS

In The Press & Out In the Community

Karla has been featured on the cover of over 10 magazines and over 20 featured articles for her athleticism, competition, transforming her clients, and her motivational events.

She has partnered with the City of Riverside and Riverside Community Health Foundation on 4 local health fairs in Riverside, CA as part of the Fit, Fresh and Fun program to promote health & wellbeing locally. She has hosted the Mr. & Ms. Riverside Fitness Pageant, It's A Lifestyle Program, and the Everything Is Possible Challenge with Ms. Jen Brinker. She is also known for hosting Fitness Mixers, Transformation Camps with top athlete Mike O'Hearn & Shertlin Roy, and destination retreats to empower your transformation.

PRESS & PARTNERS

How dose the custom nutriton & exercise program work?

The human body is the most advanced technology in the world. It constantly adapts, repairs, and regulates itself through complex cellular communication and hormonal signaling. When you apply a science-based approach using exercise science and sports nutrition, you stop guessing and start building with precision. Clean, whole foods provide the nutrients your cells need, while customized resistance training increases lean muscle mass. More lean mass raises metabolic rate, improves insulin sensitivity, and enhances energy production. By creating a personalized nutrition and training plan, you develop a stronger internal ecosystem, reset metabolism, and empower your body to perform at its highest capability.

What is included in my weekly check-in?

The weekly check-in is where data meets strategy. Each session includes updated measurements and body fat testing to track real progress beyond the scale. We review your nutrition choices and map them directly to your body’s response, energy levels, digestion, and lifestyle trends. We discuss real-life situations — eating out, travel, social events, and home routines — so your plan works everywhere, not just in perfect conditions. Using measurable data from your body, we adjust macros, training, and recovery to create a personalized, non-fail system. The goal is simple: solve metabolic issues, improve efficiency, and build a sustainable plan for life.

Will I be doing things all on my own?

No. You will not be doing this on your own. Karla will personally walk you through each phase of the transformation process, coaching you weekly to master the changes step by step. This is not guesswork or consumer diet culture — it is a scientific process. You will learn how to shift from consumer-based thinking to science-based thinking, understanding how your body truly responds to food and training. Together, you will build your custom formula using real data, structured progression, and strategic adjustments, solidifying habits so it becomes natural and sustainable to live confidently in the body you love every day.

How dose the online membership work??

The Online Membership is included in most private coaching programs or available as a monthly option on its own. Members become part of a community dedicated to clean eating, regular exercise, and real transformation. You’ll receive ongoing tips on nutrition, training, and lifestyle strategies, along with motivational stories and proven industry solutions. Membership includes access to portions of the Metabolism Master Class, discounts on courses and products, and access to our event calendar to register for classes, programs, and fitness events. Members also have the opportunity to be featured in our newsletter and/or magazine, celebrating progress and transformation success stories.

What is included in retreats?

Transformation Retreats are immersive 3–5 day experiences hosted in Carefree, Arizona. There are two options: Individual Retreats (you and one guest, scheduled based on availability) and Group Retreats (8–10 participants on specific dates selected by Karla).

Both formats offer optional personal time with Karla. Activities may include weight training, hiking, and outdoor fitness sessions designed to reinforce your transformation, as well as shopping for and preparing meals together and walking through how to structure your home and daily schedule for long-term success. This hands-on experience allows you to see exactly how to live the change consistently. Industry partners may provide additional education to support your metabolic goals. Each participant receives a private two-hour session to create or refine a customized nutrition and exercise plan.
