passion for fitness. He wanted to make the path to weight loss and a
healthy lifestyle attainable for anyone who wanted it. He is now certified
through ISSA not only in personal training, but as a nutrition counselor as
well. He now helps others with the same transformation process he has
been through himself. In his free time he enters gaming competitions,
builds computers, plays saxophone/guitar, and spends time with friends.
Karen Gordon - Certified Personal Trainer

running with her older brother as a teen, and soon realized the mental and physical benefits that
came with being in shape. She ventured into weight training, which helped her greatly in future
athletic endeavors. At Stanford University, she was on the Crew team, and later had an
extended career in the high-tech industry.
Now a Certified Personal Trainer, Karen loves to share the joy and sense of accomplishment
that comes with having strength & stamina to spare in all her activities. She joins her children

Seven years and two replacements later, Niki has gained a deep respect for mobility work, corrective exercise, and post-rehab training!
Niki loves being a part of her clients' journeys towards feeling stronger and more empowered by what their bodies are capable of doing for all of their lives: to move with ease, get up and down from the floor without issue, to have the energy to play with children and grandchildren.
Niki holds certifications through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), Athletics & Fitness Association of America (AFAA), and Precision Nutrition (PN). She is certified in corrective exercise, water aerobics, myofascial release, and nutrition coaching.
