Karen Bast, NASM-CPT, ACE Personal Trainer

I have been a Personal Trainer for 20 years. I am a certified personal trainer with NASM and ACE. I am also an Integrated Movement Specialist and a PWR!Moves Certified Instructor. My passion has been to enhance one’s lifestyle no matter what age. I get great satisfaction from helping my clients be able to continue performing activities they enjoy. My goal is to get my clients to master basic functional movements and to improve overall strength, balance, and endurance. I want training to be fun and to make it a forever lifestyle change.

I decided to become more specialized and work with Parkinson’s clients when I started working with a client who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the age of 65. Her determination to do everything possible to slow down the progression of the disease inspired me to become a PWR!Moves Certified Instructor. Parkinson’s is not curable, but if I can help my clients with Parkinson’s stay healthy and maintain a fitness program, I can help them have a better quality of life, doing the things they enjoy.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors enjoying nature, and time with my family.
