Karina LaBarbera

With a growing passion for health, fitness, nutrition and overall wellness I strive to help others get educated and work toward a healthy lifestyle. Previously quitting my job in the Media/Advertising industry, I have moved on to solely focus on my Wellness Career where I can fulfill my passion of inspiring and motivating others to live a well balanced life – through exercise and healthy eating!

As a certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor through the American Council on Exercise since 2014, I have background in training single and group sessions for those working toward weight loss, muscle endurance / strengthening and improving overall fitness.
I believe that nutrition and exercise go hand in hand and it is so important to know what you are putting into your body – receiving my Health & Nutrition Coach certification through the American Council on Exercise to further my knowledge, is in the works!

Growing up in a big, traditional, Italian family – food and our Sunday pasta dinners were the center of family time, memories, traditions, laughs, friendships and more. I want people to realize that they can eat and enjoy the foods they love with simple modifications in using the right, clean ingredients – while incorporating exercise into their lifestyle!
