Karin Singleton
In light of current events, I offer training online and also teach some Zoom group classes. The principle as outlined below has not changed but the methodology has been adapted to the virtual world as applicable. Please check my website for more information.
I have been in the fitness industry since 1994, and it is my passion to help people feel and live better. Over the years my training focus has shifted towards corrective exercise strategies.In 2019, I took a course with Gary Ward's concept of 'Anatomy in Motion' which is based on the premise that the body wants to be at its most efficient and will improve its alignment, when movement potential is restored. Together with NeuroKinetic Therapy, it presents a comprehensive method of an initial assessment. The essence of NKT is to identify inhibited vs facilitated muscles in compensatory movement patterns. In 2009 and 2014, I had already added MELT and The BioMechanics Method respectively to the list of programs I offer. MELT is a method through which people can learn to self-treat their connective tissue. The BioMechanics Method is another corrective exercise strategy which is complementary to MELT and the corrective approach taken by NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine). Of course, I am also experienced in the traditional strength, cardio and core training forms of exercise including a multitude of balls, Bosus, balance boards, foam rollers and much more.

I’ve known Karin for 14 years and been her client all that time. Karin is an exceptional lady – knowledgeable, skillful, encouraging, inspiring. She continually challenges herself through frequent and regular continuing education, as well as seeking high levels of training in current and emerging techniques and concepts. Most recently, she has just completed advanced training in MELT, and her work with me in this area has helped tremendously. I highly recommend Karin as a personal trainer. Regardless of your personal goal - physical conditioning, help with aches and pains, increased core strength, enhanced flexibility - Karin can develop an approach that will help you be stronger and feel better, in a positive and caring atmosphere. Try one of her MELT classes!

When I met Karin, I was suffering from bouts of severe pain and weakness from injuries to the cervical and lumbar regions of my spine. Through Karin's skillful approach to correcting my muscle weakness and eliminating my pain, I am a MUCH happier and active person. In fact, I can out-kayak my husband in most instances, and have improved my endurance in other sports such as down-hill skiing. After Karin introduced me to MELT, I started to notice that my constant neck and shoulder pain was disappearing. Continuing to use a combination of techniques with MELT, the pain is non-existant. That, to me, is nothing short of a miracle. I highly recommend Karin as a personal trainer, and would suggest attending one of her classes if possible. Just check her website for dates, locations and times. You'll be ever so glad that you did!
