Carolyn's the best personal trainer ever! Super encouraging, she tailors each workout to suit the condition of YOUR body, not her idea of where you SHOULD be! That's the 'personal' in 'personal trainer'. By doing this she prevents injuries. She is also an expert in the TRX 'suspension' system, probably the simplest, most effective workout system ever!

I am a middle-aged man with a lifelong disability due to a circulatory birth defect in my left leg. Some fifteen years ago I suffered extensive spinal fractures in a car accident. Moreover I've struggled with obesity most of my life.
Carolyn has helped me tremendously over the past five months via one-hour weekly sessions in her yoga / fitness studio. To begin with she recommended an excellent weight-loss program (The Healthy Way in Santa Cruz) which has guided me into losing over 50 lbs -- I am now no longer obese.
Due to my physical disability and the later spinal fractures, since childhood

I have been referring patients to Carolyn for years. She has a beautiful, clean and private gym where she gives each person exactly what they need. She gives each client a concise clear set of simple yet powerful exercises to do on their own. As a result of this attention, they grow in balance, coordination, strength and flexibility. Everyone have been very impressed with Carolyn and thanked me for the referral.

I had a session on the "Straps" with Carolyn yesterday and I am amazed at how thorough and efficient my training session was! Carolyn is a knowledgeable trainer with many years of experience and you can tell she really cares about her clients. My muscles feel pleasantly open and sore at the same time today. As a competitive beach volleyball player, I know that the strengthening and stretching exercises she taught me will improve my performance and help keep me injury-free. I can't wait to get in to see her again!
