Hello! 👋 I’m Kara, owner of Optimized Strength and Performance in Vancouver, Washington. I am a Certified Personal Trainer with my Master of Science in Kinesiology. I’m passionate about improving my community’s (and beyond) long-term health and wellness through fitness and nutrition, which are modifiable risk factors for many chronic diseases and all-cause mortality. Moving well, moving often, building strength, and eating a healthful eating pattern are necessities for everyone who wants to live a functional lifestyle! I’m here to make the process of establishing an effective and sustainable exercise routine easy. I use scientific evidence, assessments, and your individual goals to guide my exercise programming and nutrition guidance so you don’t have to wonder, “Is this what’s best for me?” Your healthcare providers are there to help with your illnesses and pain, and your qualified personal trainers (like me!) are there to help you learn safe and effective movement, systematically increase fitness levels, and educate you on sustainable exercise and nutrition strategies. Looking to get started? Send me an email or head to my website to learn more!
