“I was really overweight. I kept saying that I was going to come and workout and I never did. Finally this year I made a New Years resolution that I was going to do something about my weight.”

“I used to believe that you could work off any bad diet. I know now that with a combination of exercise and clean eating gives you faster results, better results, and more long lasting results!”

I am part of the lifestyle transformation program. I stated about 4 1/2 months ago and I am already seeing things change. It’s not just my body shape but my stamina and my confidence.

Well the answer was simple different nutrition, and different workout. With my goal of keeping up with the pack on Saturday and Sunday bike rides, and being able to ride a 100 miles over mountain passes, we needed to make some changes.

I have been a tough client. Questioning Karla, not always liking the schedule or plan she put forth, but I wanted to get better so I listened. The results of changing my ways has resulted in becoming stronger, with more stamina on the climbs, and lasting longer in the saddle than ever before. Thanks Karla for listening to me WHINE, and I still don’t like pop squats. Sometime change is good.

I loved her program and philosophy. Her nutritional counseling and workout regimen is personalized and curtailed for YOUR specific goals.  After I started to see changes and results in the way that I looked and felt, I knew that I could trust her.  Six months after I started her program, Karla encouraged me to do a photo shoot.  This was something I had never done, and quite frankly, it was just “not me”.  I was reluctant, but went ahead and did it regardless of how I felt.  I remember the week before the shoot I told Karla, ” I don’t know if I want to do this!”  She sat me down and encouraged and reassured me that I would be happy I did it.  She was right!  I was very excited and pleased with the entire experience and the results that were displayed in the photos!  There was a lot of hard work, structure, self discipline and motivation put forth into the entire process.  It was such an encouragement to finally reach some of the goals that I had been striving for for quite some time!

My experience here at Karla Adams’ Fitness Corporation has been educating, motivating, and inspiring! I have been very blessed to be able to do what I do and I am so thankful for that!  It sure feels good to “feel good”, be healthy, and strive to be the best that you can be!  I hope that this is an encouragement for others who  are beginning a new journey of healthy living or who are trying to improve their  present lifestyle!!

Karla got me started on a nutrition and supplement plan that was sensible, workable and really worked! She took the time to explain the details of the plan and the pur

pose of each supplement. It was obvious that she not only knew what she was talking about, but was also very passionate about it. It was also apparent that she walks her talk, as Karla may be the most physically fit person I’ve ever met.

I chose the group training option – something not available at most gyms I’ve used in the past. It provided the personalized training I needed at a price I could afford. The groups were small – usually less than 4 people.

The atmosphere in the gym is great. The people are friendly, the mood is upbeat and Karla does a great job of keeping things light and fun, and only cracking the whip (literally) when the whining gets out of hand. 😉

Karla also does a fantastic job of providing positive feedback and motivation by providing regular measurement appointments to measure progress and to make sure her clients feel appreciated for their hard work.

In the three months I worked with Karla before my cycling event, I reduced my weight by almost all of the 30 pounds I set out to, reduced my body fat percentage by about 5%, reduced by body size by about 10 inches and strengthened and toned my muscles. As a result, I was able to successfully complete my cycling event, a 3-day, 325 mile bike ride from Riverside to June Lake with substantial amounts of climbing, in spite of seriously adverse weather conditions.

I continued to work with Karla for an additional two months and reduced my weight by an additional 10 pounds & my body fat by an additional 3%.

I highly recommend Karla Adams Fitness Corporation for anyone who is serious about fitness and is looking for an affordable and fun atmosphere to accomplish their fitness goals.”

I began running back in 1996 and did a fair amount of training as far as just the running part. I was told it would be beneficial to do some other types of cross training such as cycling or weights. I never really took the time to do it and I probably suffered as far as my actual results for the first marathon that I tried. I wanted to complete it within 4 hours and I ended up with 4:09. That’s not too bad for a first time marathon, but just a little more effort and there is probably a very good chance I would have made my goal. The following year I lost the motivation to continue and I slacked off completely as far as my exercising. Sound familiar? I believe we all become guilty of it at some time or another.

This is where people like Karla and April come in. They are that extra push to go another step. They become that second voice when you are trying to convince yourself that you can go ahead and have that extra helping or that really high calorie desert. You always know that they are there to support you if you need them. They become a friend and not just a trainer. I believe this is what you really need if you want to really succeed at becoming the best that you can be. Sorry, the cliché was unintentional. But, it is true. I believe that they want the person that they are helping to become what they see in them even if that individual doesn’t see it.

I began running again back in 2010 with the Riverside Road Runners. This is where I had my first contact with April Smith who works with Karla. She was talking about the added benefits of incorporating some additional training to make your running stronger. As I stated, I’ve never really had the inkling to do weights much. It just was always hard for me for whatever reason. April and Karla are just what I needed to give me that extra
knowledge as far as what it could do for my overall health. They really push the nutrition part of health and how important it is as well. I’ve shed about fifteen unwanted pounds and feel much more fit. I still have goals to achieve and I know that if I put the effort into following the lifestyle choices they recommend, I will get there.

Anyone looking for someone that will push you in the right direction, I highly recommend Karla Adams Fitness Corporation.
