As a fitness consultant, nutritionist and athlete, I would like to take a moment to introduce myself.   I have 14 years of experience and credentials as a fitness consultant and nutritionist and 20 years as a former competitive figure skater. I have trained and counseled people ranging from wellness clients of all ages and backgrounds, to fitness enthusiasts at all levels including fitness competitors and even world-class competitive athletes. I am very excited to share my experience and knowledge with you to achieve great health and well-being.   For twenty years, I participated in both singles and Precision Figure Skating, competing at four Canadian Championships.   I also coached at many figure skating schools and even designed and developed off-ice training and conditioning programs.   In 2002, I competed in my first  natural fitness model competition (FAME) in Toronto and placed with in the top 10. A few years ago, I placed first in the FAME Bahamas fitness model competition and earned my pro card. I then competed against the world's best at the World FAME show in Toronto and Fitness America in Miami. It was a great experience for me and I'm looking forward to competing once again this year. In 2007, I also become an official FAME judge!!   As always, I would like to continue motivating my clients to achieve their fitness and lifestyle goals. Today, as a fitness and nutritional consultant, I like to maintain an active and balanced lifestyle by doing rollerblading, golfing, yoga, spinning, running and weight training. Other than fitness related activities, you may catch me reading books, traveling, shopping, relaxing at my parent's cottage and modeling.   From years of creating results-oriented programs, fitness and nutrition counseling, and teaching on and off ice figure skating programs, I have gained the knowledge and practical experience to design and develop a wellness program that easily fits into your active lifestyle. I use my leadership and motivational skills to help you commit to and maintain a healthy lifestyle.   My ultimate goal is to provide you with the tools to educate and assist you towards your ideal level of health, giving you the results YOU desire.   Warmly, Karen Riedel-Gallagher
