"Working out has always been a regular part of my life. After having my fourth child I wanted a little extra help to get my body back and lose weight. Karen pushes me to a level where I am finally seeing the results I have been looking for which I would not have reached on my own. I also value her knowledge and counseling on nutrition which is so important for me in achieving my goal. She is there for her clients 100%."

“Karen Crum Fitness has changed my life. In the 13 months that I've been working out with Karen I've lost 30lbs and over 18 inches. I could not have accomplished this on my own. Karen's enthusiastic demeanor and fitness expertise keeps me motivated. KCF offers true personal training. Karen will help you reach your goals through exercise and nutrition. Everyone should try it!”

"I have been working out consistently on my own for two years and hadn’t been seeing too much change. In April 2007, I began training with Karen and have seen a dramatic change in my fitness level and ability. She has helped me challenge myself, increasing the amount of weight that I can lift and the miles that I can run. Because of her support and encouragement I will be participating in my first triathlon and half marathon this year. I have not only found a great trainer but a lifelong friend that I know will continue to support me in my future endeavors both in the gym and out.

"Karen is able to keep me focused on my fitness goals. This is no easy task. She works one-on-one with me and follows up to make sure I'm following our plan. She is helpful without being intimidating. Just the right combination of fun and fitness. It's never boring with Karen Crum!"

"I’ve never been a big fan of weight training, but I am a HUGE fan of the results that I have achieved by working out with Karen. Karen’s workouts are consistently tough, always varied, and push me beyond any limit that I could imagine. Karen is always looking for ways to support my goals, whether through a weekly running group, a group fitness challenge, sound advice in her newsletter, or timely encouragement during training. Working with Karen has helped me break through barriers that have challenged me for years. I have never felt more powerful in my life."
~ Christine C., Hopkinton
“When I decided my workout routine needed some changes I made an appointment with Karen. After a one-on-one session Karen created a series of challenging workouts, tailored specifically to my fitness needs and goals. Her classes are great! The workouts are extremely challenging, they vary each week so they are never boring, and it is great motivation to work out with a small group of motivated women. Not only is Karen extremely knowledgable about training and fitness, she also provides information and tips about the importance of nutrition for fitness. I highly recommend her personal training sessions and her fit with friends classes!”
~ Elizabeth S., Hopkinton
“Karen Crum takes her job as a personal trainer very seriously. She goes above and beyond by providing custom training to her clients. In my case, she designs challenging workouts that I never thought I could do. She gets me through my workouts with her support, fun personality, encouragement and enthusiasm. She makes you believe in yourself. Whatever you need to help you reach your goals, Karen is there believing in you and making you believe in yourself!
I am grateful to have Karen in my life!”
~ Libby R., Hopkinton
"I love working with Karen for all of the traditional reasons a person chooses a trainer. She is motivating, challenging and results driven. I have continued to work with Karen for almost a year, because Karen is compassionate, understanding and adds a friendship/human element that I have never had working with other trainers in the past. She truly cares about each of her clients, their well being and their results. Losing weight/getting fit is in all essence a mathematical equation - eat this, exercise like this and you will look like this. For many there is baggage that goes along with this process, and Karen understands that. Any trainer can praise someone when they follow the plan and reach success. It takes an amazing person/trainer to keep someone on this journey when the path is not perfect!"

" Karen's encouragement and coaching pushes me to perform better in my workouts than I would alone and has shown me that I am stronger than I thought."

"Before I became a mother, I enjoyed working out as a hobby. After my first daughter was born 3 years ago, I lost that part of myself. I never found the time to fit it into my daily life -- then I had another daughter, and I REALLY lost track of myself!! I decided to book a few sessions with Karen to help me meet my "Weight Watchers" goal. She helped me surpass that goal, and even get back to my pre-motherhood weight, which is something that I always thought unattainable. And it's not just about the weight loss -- I truly feel better -- mentally AND physically."
