Testimonials

“I’ve been exercising my whole life but found myself in a rut and not getting the results I wanted. The 10 week challenge really changed my life. The nutritional guidance with the work outs improved my energy and sleep while unwanted weight came off and my strength improved.

I feel amazing and can’t believe my body fat is lower now than when I was in university! I couldn’t have done this without your coaching and passion Karen! Very simply, this program works!!! THANK YOU!”

“Karen, I don’t know how to tell you how lucky and blessed I feel that I found you and your program with its well-rounded fitness, nutrition and spiritual components… the whole meal deal!

I’ve done your 8-Week program from your book, your 10 Week Best Shape Challenge and your 12 Week Advanced Challenge, and I just love the Healthy Living Program which I’ve been on for a long time! I have held you in high praise to anyone who asks me what I am doing and have passed your information onto others! Others have seen the “Karen McCoy” way! I love it!”

- Dawn B, Sooke, BC

“After attending one of Karen’s seminars, I knew I wanted to train with her. But my family relocated and I thought I had missed out. Luckily I found her online 10-Week Challenge…now I could work out at my own gym and on my own schedule. Brilliant! I learned so much on the Challenge. Initially, I just wanted to lose 10lbs, which I did! More importantly, Karen’s on-line Challenge introduced a new way of thinking about goals, weight resistant, and clean eating. Working with intensity was a major building block of the program and now, I’m present with each and every rep and give it my full attention, a great lesson which I try to teach others every day. I then went on to do her Advanced 12-Week Challenge and I got down to 15% bodyfat, and I entered my first-ever physique competition! I’m now on her HLP program with its monthly workouts and non-stop nutritional guidance which really keeps me focused and on track! Never thought I’d be a position to offer inspiration to others. I do enjoy sharing the Healthy Lifestyle that Karen continues to teach us all!”

"As an author and international speaker, I meet many amazing coaches, trainers, authors and inspirational leaders. When I met Karen McCoy, I instantly realized this woman was in a league of her own. Her passion for health and fitness is driven not by vanity or ego - although she looks very much like a world class athlete. Karen is a living example of channeling her struggles and feelings of fear and loss into a life-enhancing, productive, empowered, healthy way of living, loving, moving, giving and receiving. Her book, One Rep at a Time, pulls together everything one would need to feel physically, emotionally and spiritually strong!"

- Crystal Andrus Morissette, bestselling author, founder of The SWAT Institute

“As a bestselling health author and nutrition and fitness professional, I have never had the need for a personal trainer. Having said this, I would not hesitate to hire Karen McCoy, as she is one of the best trainers in the business – bar none! As a man, hiring Karen is not an option, so if you’re a woman and you want to get in the best shape of your life for the rest of your life, look no further – Karen is your expert of choice!”

"OMG Karen, I can't believe what your program has done to my physique. I was laughing out loud at the computer last night while watching the legs video. While you were hammering your quads in the strip sets, you said, "That's the difference between the girls and the women". I often say this to myself to squeeze in another rep during my workouts! Thanks so much - you've changed my life! I wish I could get through this computer and hug you! And I loved your coaching style… organic, clean, and with so much love! Thank you for helping me make my dream to compete a reality!”

"At 56 years old, I had no get-up-and-go. I started to put on weight, my clothing was tight, and I wasn’t liking what I was seeing in the mirror. I was so tired physically, emotionally and spiritually. I found Karen’s web site, I fought the fear and signed up! It was the best thing I’ve ever done. I started with the Challenge, then moved onto the Monthly Program. I then took her 6-week Metabolism course, and her Walk with Spirit course! All so Awesome! I’ve learned so much in my 2+ years with Karen! She knows her stuff, she is always available, and I love the support of the Warrior Community. If you’re on the fence, just do it! It’s the best thing you can do for your inner and outer health!

PS: I went from 34% body fat to 25% and I’m feeling GREAT!"

“I am so thrilled with how far I've come, and this is just the start! Thanks for designing a program that I love, that fits my life, and that shows awesome results if you're willing to commit. You get what you give!”

"After our first meeting with Karen, I knew this was going to change the way I thought about exercise and food. Karen offered sound, in-depth information on nutrition, supplements, how, why and what we eat and weight training turned out to be fun. I ‘lifted and lost’ at least one dress size during the 4 weeks, and have implemented changes every day in my thoughts on food. I can now go to the gym better informed and come out with a sense of achievement. Thank you Karen. I’ll be back!”
