Careen is a Registered Nurse, ACE Certified Personal Trainer, AFPA Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Consultant, and NASM - Certified Group Fitness Instructor. She is also a fitness enthusiast, marathoner, and supporting member of Albany Running Exchange (ARE) and Black Girls Run.  

In 2005, she was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a group of progressive genetic diseases that cause blindness, and is peripherally blind as a result. In 2015 she became afflicted with a chronic pain condition, CRPS, that impacted her ability to move, resulting in a 40 pounds weight gain. Working with physical therapists, orthopedics, neurology, rheumatology, a dietitian, and pain management, she was able to lose the excess weight, became stronger, is now in remission from CRPS and is moving again. She was able to fulfill her bucket list goal of running a full marathon on October 8, 2023, with the help of USATF Certified Running Coach Dick Vincent.

 Careen understands what it is like to lose your independence and to be in severe chronic pain. Perhaps you do not have access to a gym or do not feel comfortable participating in a large class. Train with her from the comfort of your own home and take the classes you would love to try but designed specifically for you. Advancements in technology have caused us to become more sedentary, but let's use this technology to become more active. Give her a chance and she will help you to not only reach your fitness goals, but get you to move more often too. Click below for a free consultation!
