About Carol
Thanks for checking out my profile! I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, and have been training and instructing locally for over 35 years and am passionate about helping others feel the best ever physically and emotionally. Some familiar places I‘ve trained include Bally’s, Gold’s Gym, Bodyplex, and Anytime Fitness to name a few. I've instructed Pilates classes for Gwinnett Medical Hospital and currently train and instruct fitness and yoga classes for the employees of Jackson County, GA. I also train virtually for Element3 Health.
After many years of training at local gyms, I decided to become an independent trainer building my own client base and training in my fully-equipped fitness studio or client’s home (or desired location such as outside or community fitness center). I currently am working as a Personal Trainer at a 55+ retirement community, the Villages at Deaton Creek in Hoschton, which keeps me busy from early morning till early afternoon.
I enjoy training women and couples of all ages but specialize in training individuals who struggle with losing weight and yo-yo dieters who want to finally get and keep the weight off and/or desire to make physical activity a lifestyle instead of a chore. I can help you not only lose weight but help you be free from an addiction to food. It won't happen overnight but it can happen! I also am a certified Bone Fit Specialist and help women who have been diagnosed with low bone health, Osteopenia and Osteoporsis build and maintain bone and muscle.
Being my own success story, I can share with you how I successfully lost weight eating real food, maintained weight loss, and made physical fitness something I now enjoy and have made a way of life forever. I love being physically active and hope it's contagious to those I meet.
I mainly train in my private studio in Pendergrass however, I am willing to come to your home depending on how far you are (miles and time it takes me to get to you). Whether you are a beginner and new to exercise or have experience and want help with your fitness goals (build muscle or a strong core). I can provide variety and freshness to your workouts. Wherever you are, no matter what age, you can start feeling better about yourself today and feeling good!
My favorite client story
I worked with a 50 year old female client, Laura, for a year whose goal was to lose 50 lbs. and she did. She trained with me 2 days a week, ate real food and was consistent, missing only two sessions the whole year. After she lost the weight and was on maintenance, we continue to be good friends and keep in touch. She maintains her weight loss strength training 3 times a week and doing cardio on alternate days. Definitely my best success story and she is no different than you. You can be successful too.
My favorite exercise
I enjoy hiking on natural trails but also walking/jogging in my neighborhood and lift weights 2 -3 times per week. I also try to do Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates during the week. It compliments everything I do.
My favorite quote
“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” I say let that person be you!
My training philosophy
Effort = Results. The more effort you put into training the quicker you will get results. If you don’t give it your best you are only cheating yourself. It’s up to you. Trust me as your trainer, follow my advice and you will get results.
My training experience
My training experience includes helping women and couples lose weight, get strong, or just start feeling better. I have 35+ years of experience and train exclusively and independently on my own, working with clients of all ages to help them reach their fitness and health goals. Wherever you are in this fitness journey, whether a beginner and have never exercised a day in our life, I can help you. I believe in YOU. Feeling your best is a journey, not a destination. We strive for progress and not perfection. We are all a work in progress. Let's strive to be better physically, mentally and spiritually.

It is thorough overall workout and Carol is a real motivator.
Working with Carol has been an amazing experience! During the 6 months I have been working with her I have lost 40+ pounds and gained some good healthy changes in my life. Carol has been great with understanding my struggle between working full time and being a mom to two young kids- she’s given me ideas on workouts to do at home when I can catch a few minutes to myself, but can’t get to the gym. She’s been super helpful in helping me use different tools (apps/fitness band) to help keep me on track. I highly recommend Carol if you are looking to make some healthy changes in your life!
Carol is AMAZING! Love doing Yoga under her guidance!!
I joined a gym for the first time ever in January of 2016. The best decision I made after joining the gym was to hire a personal trainer. Fortunately, I was paired with Carol. She’s the best. While working with her, I lost 50 pounds. And almost two years later, I haven’t gained it back. I still have people at the gym ask me if getting a trainer was helpful. My answer is always ABSOLUTELY! And Carol is fantastic. She kept me accountable and taught me how to use all the equipment. And since I was a beginner, she helped me meet my goals and showed me things I just could not have known which would keep me from over doing and possible injury. And not only does she teach appropriate physical fitness, she includes the balance of nutrition to maximize your health goals. If I had not had her, I would have walked the treadmill, lost a few pounds, gotten bored and just continued to be discouraged. She gave me confidence to go into the gym and not be intimidated by the equipment. She’s changed my life. And the best part is, she’s become a wonderful friend. Couldn’t recommend her any higher. SHE’S THE BEST!
Carol has been such a blessing to my husband and me! She is professional, yet friendly, and knows how to keep our workouts fresh and effective! We HIGHLY recommend her services!
Carol is very professional and always makes our Silver Shoes and Yoga class so much fun. I have taken classes elsewhere and she is by far the best! Having fun makes it so much easier to exercise and she definitely does that. She is certainly an asset to fitness delivered.
Most uplifting and spirited trainer I ever met, forward with gentleness, awesome attitude, real instructive. I learned more from Carol in 1 month about good healthy habits and how to work out properly to get the most out of exercising daily than anyone I ever knew. I lost 3 pants sizes in 2 months by toning, eating, walking, working out with Carol twice a week.

I first started looking for a trainer at the end of June. I skimmed through several different profiles, but when I landed on Carol I knew she was the one. Her prices are great and she has a lot of experience. During the month of July, I met with her twice a week. This was a great kick start to a healthier lifestyle. I went from sitting on the couch, watching tv all day to happily working out daily. Since returning to work in August, Carol has been coming over to my house weekly. She is very encouraging and supports me in any way that she can. She creates a workout specific to my needs and records it all in a notebook, so that I can reference it until we meet again. I always feel amazing after we are done (this doesn't mean I don't whine sometimes) and that feeling is what keeps me going the rest of the week. She is realistic and understands that it's not always easy to make time for yourself, but constantly encourages me to be the best that I can be. I would definitely recommend her (just don't try to steal my time slot haha).
I absolutely love working out with Carol! She has helped me become stronger and healthier overall. So far I’ve lost 14lbs and that’s only the beginning. She is very encouraging and supports me in any way that she can. Each week, she creates a workout that is specific to my needs and walks me through it step by step. One of the most helpful things is that she records the workout in a notebook, so that I can reference it on days when we are not meeting. She pushes me hard, but in a caring way. I always feel amazing after our workout (even if I whine sometimes... okay, all the time) and this feeling keeps me going the rest of the week. I can’t wait to see where the rest of the year takes me, but I know one thing for sure... Carol will support me every step of the way!
