“Working out and strengthening muscles has always been a part of my life due to frequent patella dislocations beginning at age 12.

Then I realized that being active especially cardio helps me feel so much better mentally and emotionally. After having my first knee replacement, I craved doing something physical yet my body wasn’t ready to go back to my old routine. I took Karen’s water fitness class…

and let me tell you…I was pleasantly shocked at how great it was, and how great I felt! I’ve taken water aerobics before and really liked it. What Karen did was far superior for me! She assessed my current level before even getting into the pool! She even video taped me walking for analyzing! I was challenged with what she instructed, yet I didn’t overdo it which was imperative for my continued rehab. In fact I even bought a membership at the rec center, because I was so excited and hopeful.”
