Testimonials
Read what current CORE members have to say about their experience with group and private coaching.
Kari Cares!I have trained with Kari for many years now. She is very thoughtful in preparing coaching plans, always considering goals, ever changing physical limitations, and time constraints. Kari’s great at getting us to our event of choice confident and ready to get it done.
Kari can teach old dogs new tricks. Kari taught this old gal to swim and got me successfully to the start line of my 1st, 2nd and 3rd triathlons. I was impressed with the patience and compassion with which Kari took on this task. I will always be grateful for Kari’s friendship and support. Looking forward to getting to my 4th and 5th start line with Kari’s support!

Kari is a knowledgeable mentor and trainer. She has wonderful and accepting training groups for all ages and abilities and is very accommodating for both group and individual training. I would highly recommend triathlon training for any/all disciplines.

Training for an Ironman felt overwhelming at first, but Kari broke it down into a clear, structured plan that fit my life. Our monthly chats and constant communication provded the feedback I needed to evolve in my training. With her guidance and wisdom, I got to the finish line, but even more importantly, she got me to the start line feeling prepared, confident and healthy.

I have been a client of Kari's for several years and have participated in many of her classes. My favourite is her heavy lifting class, which is designed exclusively for women. Kari has a remarkable ability to take the stigma out of weight training, creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for women to learn proper lifting techniques and challenge themselves in a small group setting.
Her extensive knowledge in physical fitness, training, and nutrition, along with her commitment to staying current on the latest trends and advancements in injury prevention, makes her an exceptional trainer. I would highly recommend Kari for any fitness endeavor, especially if you are new to weight training or returning after a break.
She genuinely cares about her clients’ progress and well-being, making every session both effective and enjoyable.

Kari is truly your biggest cheerleader, no matter what level you start at. I came to her with limited swim skills and she patiently guided me from the pool to open water, supporting me every step of the way. Kari is also a connector; she brings the community together and generously shares her knowledge across every discipline. I can honestly say I wouldn't have completed my Ironman 70.3 without her support, encouragement, and expertise. Kelley

Kari has been an awesome coach and a huge help in getting me to the start, and across the finish line, of my first 70.3!
Her approach to coaching was exactly what I needed: flexible, fun, and accountable. Kari made it easy to set goals, track progress, and took the stress out training. Not only did I feel completely prepared come race day, I crushed my goals and expectations, fully crediting the coaching Kari provided. Would 10/10 recommend! I’m already excited for the next training plan and race.
