What distinguishes Karl as a trainer from other trainers that I have observed or used is that Karl does not offer you a “routine,” a regime of standard exercises, but will create a program that best suits your needs, your goals, your current condition at your stage in life.  As you progress toward the goal that you and he set, he will alter and add new exercises.  

Additionally, he does not rely on what he has learned but regularly attends conferences to study the latest advances of research in his field and new techniques that in turn will enhance his ability to help his clients.

Donald Fritz, Client

I have been working out with Karl for 25 years and now at age 95 I’m still exercising with him twice a week and he keeps me strong and healthy.

Elizabeth “Lib” Stone, Client

I have been working out with Karl for 19 years. I often tell people that we never do the same workout, he incorporates so many different techniques while also making it fun and challenging.

Mary Kay Levassey, Client

Karl is the consummate professional. He is timely, reliable, knowledgeable, and caring. He meets you for every session where you are and always makes you feel better when you leave than when you started. With a mix of targeted workouts and stretching he works to increase your strength and relieve pain. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Besides all that he is a warm, and generous person.

Ann Porter, Client

Karl is a fantastic trainer, his knowledge of the body is second to none and he tailors the workouts to the individual.
