“The Challenge was what I needed to lose that dreaded last 10 lbs. After having kids I struggled with losing that last bit of weight, especially in the stomach, and with the weight training and the nutrition info it really was what I needed. It was very motivational and I highly recommend it!
I not only lost that extra 10 lbs, but a few more came off and my body was toned and
I definitely look at the way I eat in a whole new way. I lost 14 pounds and I went from 23% body fat to 16%!
Now I’m on Karen’s HLP maintenance program, and I love the weekly info on nutrition, the work outs, the extras that Karen does to help us out! And the weight has stayed off! Many thanks Karen!”

“Before I enrolled in Karen’s 10-Week Best Shape Challenge I was working out at the gym on my own but I had hit a ‘plateau ‘. I was not losing weight or advancing my gym routine. Karen taught me how to work out with intensity, and how much weight I should be lifting.
Now I can see the results and others have complemented me on my progress. It feels great! I’ve learned so much about nutrition! I never thought I’d clean up my eating habits as much as I have and I feel the difference and enjoy eating with health in mind. I don’t miss the junk food!
Karen has a true passion for helping others live a healthier lifestyle. She is constantly researching & writing new articles on all aspects of health – nutrition, exercise, spirituality – and passing them along through her blogs, emails and the Healthy Living Program website. I feel very fortunate to be able to tap into her knowledge and experience as a trainer and competitive athlete. Karen has been able to keep me focused and inspired. She delivers more than promised. Thanks Karen!!!

“It isn’t often we can find everything we need in one stop. Karen McCoy is doing just that and delivering up a life altering program in a totally powerful, holistic and knowledgeable way.
I entered the 10 week challenge April 12, 2010 at 132.8 pounds and came out of it June 16 at 122.8 pounds. I also lost 5.7% body fat, 3 inches on my waist and 1.25 inches on my hips. My health is incredible and my attitude even better. I feel sexy and younger than ever.
I am now on Karen’s Healthy Living Program and go to the gym as part of my regular day/week – and I LOVE IT. I’ve lost 2 more pounds and I am sure those pipes of mine are looking even more beautiful.
I am extremely fussy about who I select to follow in anything in life. I chose Karen because of her energy, knowledge, depth, spirit and total commitment to living, eating and working out (it helps that I’d sure like to look like her too!). She is energetic, committed and a hard worker and she has a deep caring and devotion for her clients. She provides ongoing inspiration and something that really works for me – a heap of education and information! This has allowed me to create my own foundation for independently moving into a future of working out and eating healthy. Thanks again Karen!”

“I went into the Challenge wanting to lose my excess baby fat. After 5 children, I really wanted to get back in shape.
So I signed up with the Challenge and went for it! Prior to that, I attended Karen’s weekly weight training classes, and with her guidance and constant reinforcements, I started losing the baby fat! So I decided to give the Challenge a try.
In total, I went from 175 to 145 pounds and I lost 7 per cent body fat! And I won the Most Improved Overall Shape award! I’m thrilled. Now I’ll never, ever stop training! I’m now on the Healthy Living Program and working hard! Thanks Karen! You made it all possible!”

“I have participated in the last 3 challenges and all while travelling to various countries (Florida, Japan, and Greece). It’s so easy…just log on and download the weekly workouts, videos, articles – all you need is access to a gym somewhere! The on-line support has been wonderful and very motivational – takes the guesswork out of what to do next.
The workouts are always progressive so one doesn’t have to worry about the dreaded plateaus! It’s like having your own personal trainer – but when you want it and where you want it. Having this kind of flexibility is so important now – I couldn’t imagine being tied to a specific time and place to work-out anymore.”

“The knowledge and skills that I have come away with have been the key to my success. I feel stronger, healthier, sexier and more in control of my life as a result of what I have learned from Karen. For the first time in my life, I feel so confident in my own ability to carry on with my fitness & health goals! I know I can do this now!
Karen is more than just a teacher…..she is a Leader. Her presence models and inspires me to achieve my goals. She walks her talk every day, and proves that it can be done and it’s more than just a dream!
I now have the support of the Healthy Living Program, and I feel more than prepared to continue to make strength training a part of my life FOREVER!
Taking Karen’s courses has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has not only changed my outside appearance, it has shaped who I am on the inside! I like how I feel both inside and out!”
