Lift Up Fitness

Karen Sharman - Personal Trainer in Abingdon

Hello! I’m Karen, a Personal Trainer and women's fitness, health, and nutrition coach. I work with women to help them achieve their health, fitness, and lifestyle goals. I believe that with the right support and encouragement, anything is possible. I work closely with my clients to help them stay motivated and on track.

There is growing evidence that regular exercise can significantly improve your mental health, and I’m passionate about empowering women of all shapes and sizes to move more and feel the benefits. I strive to make fitness accessible and enjoyable, and I believe in creating personalized plans to help you thrive.

What I Offer:

• Personalized Fitness Coaching: Tailored fitness plans that cater to your goals, whether you want to improve strength, lose weight, or boost energy.

• Nutritional Advice: As a Nutritional Advisor, I specialize in weight management and athletic performance, helping you make healthy eating choices and maintain your body composition.

• Holistic Approach: I focus on balancing exercise with a healthy diet, adequate sleep, relaxation, and self-care, promoting long-term physical and mental health.

My Approach to Fitness and Nutrition:

• I believe every woman is unique, and as we go through different life stages, our needs change. What worked in our 20’s may not work in our 40’s and beyond. I’m committed to helping you navigate those changes, providing consistent support and personalized plans.

• I use a holistic approach to fitness, encouraging small, sustainable changes that lead to big results over time, avoiding quick fixes.

My Background & Experience:

• With years of experience in a variety of fitness activities, from swimming and running to Crossfit and weight training, I’ve participated in Race for Life, Tough Mudder, Triathlons, and Park Run.

• I’ve had personal experience with motivation struggles, diet, and bodyweight fluctuations, which allows me to deeply understand and empathize with my clients.

• I’m currently working toward a Level 4 qualification in Nutrition for Obesity and Diabetes, along with a certification in training Peri to Post Menopausal women.

Why Work with Me?

• Personalized Coaching: I listen to your needs and goals to create a plan that fits your lifestyle and challenges.

• Long-term Results: I promote small, consistent changes that lead to long-term success, rather than short-term fixes.

• Holistic Approach: I integrate fitness, nutrition, and mental wellbeing to help you achieve a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

If you’re ready to make lasting changes and start your journey to better health and fitness, get in touch. I’m here to help you be the best version of yourself!
