About Us
Recently Karen has trained people for the Moonwalk, for marathons, triathlons, for climbing mountains in Borneo and for expeditions in Canada and Sweden. She is equally happy to help you finish your first 5km run or even just start you on the road to making physical activity an enjoyable part of your life. Prefering to work with individuals who are new or returning to exercise after child birth or other life changes, and specialising in finding a completely unique plan for each client, Karen prides herself on the positive feedback she gets from people.
Karen is a post-natal specialist and has helped hundreds of new mums to get back into shape after giving birth, providing both physical and emotional support. Her clients include groups in Buggyfit classes and individuals in their own homes or outdoors. Karen has been involved with Buggyfit for over 4 years and now runs 5 classes a week in Stroud and Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. She has two children herself, and so understands the difficulties of juggling family lives and fitness, and is insured for you to bring your buggy with you if necessary.
She is a fully qualified and insured personal trainer and advanced instructor with further training in circuit training, gym instruction, torso training and core stability, pre and post-natal fitness, nutrition and weight management, sports massage and health related fitness for children
Member of REPS at Advanced Instructor Level 3.
Karen is also a fully trained bushcraft and survival instructor and runs courses in Wales, Scotland and England as well as international expeditions to Europe, Borneo, Canada, Tanzania, the Sahara Desert and the USA. She also holds a 2 day mountain/outdoor first aid course certificate. Karen's public liability insurance is provided by Fit pro.
Massage
Stressed out, tense, Tight muscles, or just want to be pampered? A Swedish massage can be relaxing or invigorating. Can treat you whole body or just concentrate on those areas you feel need it. back, shoulder and neck massage can be particularly beneficial for tension headaches, and general tightness in the area caused by stress. Massage can also be really effective at clearing toxins and thus improving the appearance of the skin and reducing cellulite.
Why not treat a loved one to a pampering massage - gift vouchers available.
Personal Training
It may be less expensive than you think to have a personal trainer- sessions can be arranged from once a month to three times a week to suit your pocket and your individual needs. Some people find that an initial consultation, fitness test and programme is all they need to motivate themselves, whilst others prefer more regular contact and the encouragement that brings.
I like to see people in their own homes or workplace, which saves time and the additional costs of gym membership, and find that getting out in the fresh air is a great psychological boost for most people.
I pride myself on the personal approach Sharp Fitness takes to training. After a comprehensive questionnaire and assessment I will devise a programme tailor made for you. Whether your goal is to run a marathon or just to be fit enough to keep up with the kids you can reach it.
Everybody has something which will work for them and you won't have to do it alone. Even if you choose a session a month you will receive regular calls and/or emails to check on your progress and will get a prompt reply to any queries you may have.
The main thing about any regime that you start is that it is enjoyable, safe and effective and at Sharp Fitness we make fitness fun.
Testimonials
"Thank you for a great class this morning. I had fun although I struggled a bit it was lovely to get out and be doing some exercise. I definately want to sign up to more classes and continue with you. Many thanks again." - Becki
"Just a card to say thanks very much for everything, it's been great working with you! I feel like i've gained so much physically and mentally. I have my confidence back, not only in the way I look, but also in my ability to stick with something and achieve a goal. No doubt I'll be back in touch after number 2!" - Louise Watkins
"............ and thanks for everything this year! When I started Buggyfit I was so unfit I could hardly walk up a hill! I know I would not have got back in shape, or had the motivation to, without your warm, nurturing / no messing, firm approach! You are a brilliant trainer and Buggyfit should be compulsory for all new Mums!!! Seriously though, it has been so good for both my physical, and mental, health that I would recommend it to everyone no matter what their ability. And Luca loved it too! For us it worked out so much better than putting him in a crèche, while I did a class. I am so glad I saw the ad and gave it a go. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement." - Juliette Ttofa (Stroud)
"I want to thank you for making me feel so welcome at your classes and I really enjoyed getting fit and meeting new mums in the fresh air!" - Fe Matthews (Stroud)
"I must also say a big thank you for all your help and support of the last few months. I never imagined I would be able to get in shape again after 4 hefty babies and being 40 but I have virtually got back to pre- baby weight and fitness and it’s amazing to see some real muscles developing. I have never been able to run any distance and have amazed myself by keeping going out even when you are not there to nag me. Every now and again I feel my posture slipping and hear you in my head saying ‘nice and upright’; ‘keep that tummy in’ and it helps. Everyone has been remarking on how great I look and if they give me a minute I extol your virtues as well as basking in the glory myself. Most importantly I feel much better and have mostly really enjoyed it. My only worry is whether I will ever be able to give you up…" - Anne Hampton
"Thank you for all your help to date and I look forward to seeing you with the new arrival in 2008!" - Natalie Jermyn
"Also wanted to let you know that I really enjoy the class and you make me work hard - thanks!" - Sue
"I wanted to thank you though as I thoroughly enjoyed going to Buggyfit. It really helped me settle back into being in Gloucestershire and I met some great new friends. Every time I go for I walk with Thomas I try to remember 'tummy and pelvis tucked in'! Although I have to admit it would be nice to regain the level of fitness I was beginning to retrieve from your sessions." - Emma Evans
"It's not just a walk in the park! I really feel that I have worked out at a buggyfit class and enjoy it too, which is a bonus!"" - Mel, Gloucester
