About karie donovan
Hi, My name is Karie Donovan, I am a certified Personal Trainer and owner of Hanford Cali Fitness. I am an avid horse rider, paddle boarder, kayaker and enjoy a game of tennis when I get the chance. I love to introduce people to what it feels like to be physically fit at any age. Originally from the “Big Easy” New Orleans, I spent all my junior high and high school years on the basketball or track team, but once I graduated high school and moved to California, my activity level drastically dropped
I didn’t know anyone and spent most of my time working and going to college. I somehow managed to gain enough weight to hit 145 lbs. Dieting alone didn’t seem to do the trick, but once I began to understand how nutrition and exercise go hand in hand, my body began to return to what it was meant to be. I began kick boxing at the age of 48 and after 2 years, I had to go through some pretty serious surgery for cancer and had to quit for awhile. Then one day I was invited by a co-worker to come to a Boot Camp with her. I WAS ADDICTED!!! I joined right there on the spot and never looked back.
Though I was toned and in shape, my body changed even more. I began to see definition after the first month and my stamina improved immensely. I knew right then, that I wanted to help others to see that no matter what life throws at you, if you can make the decision to TRY, then your life can only get better. I sold my home, moved to Hanford, opened my first Boot Camp, and would love to share my passion and enthusiasm with you.
