My purpose

Why I'm Here

Coaching is simply the vessel through which I carry out my purpose. I am the founder of Mama Fit USA; servicing as Schlegel Training, and a faith-based business owner who specializes in women’s fitness, nutrition, and wellness.

I attended The University of Akron, where I studied psychology and family development. I graduated Magna Cum Laude, earning my Bachelor's degree, and two additional Associate degrees (Applied Science and Art) with High Distinction. My pursuit to counsel individuals took a turn from art therapy to health and wellness after becoming a mom and suffering from postpartum depression. My personal experience birthed a passion to share my testimony and spread hope to other women, as I believe that pursuing spiritual growth and healthy lifestyle habits can make a significant difference in one’s overall wellbeing. I am an advocate for women in all seasons of life, and my mission is to educate and empower them throughout their health and wellness journey. I aim to deliver safe and effective exercises that are appropriate for all body types and fitness experiences. From modifications during pregnancy, to advancements for the athlete, each movement can be modified or advanced to best fit the individual.

I am a certified Menopause and Pre-Postnatal Coaching Specialist (CSMC & CPPC), and a Family Life Specialist. Within my scope of practice, I am equipped to lead and coach in the areas of women's anatomy and physiology, mental health, nutrition, exercise and program design, and recovery.

Strength Training Series

Every strength program is offered in a series of 8 to 12 weeks. These series are structured to guarantee results, if executed properly. The purpose of this program is to build strength over a period of time; And we do this by following a type of training style called Progressive Overload. We record and monitor reps and weights (while prioritizing form, technique, and range of motion) each week, as they correlate to promote progression and gradually increase one's strength. For this reason, it is extremely important to be consistent with attendance for each scheduled session throughout the duration of the series.

I am dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness and health goals. Whether you're aiming to build muscle, lose fat, or just improve your overall wellbeing, I'm here to help. Contact me today to schedule a consultation and start your journey to a healthier, stronger you.

strength training session options:

Alicia F.

“ I absolutely love Kara! When I first started her program , I had no idea what I was doing and could barely lift anything. Now, a few years later I am so much stronger than I thought I could be and I feel great! She helped me with pre and post pregnancy exercises (mentally too). It’s comfortable, professional, and extremely welcoming for all women (no matter what your strengths or weakness are). If you’re looking for the best way to kick your butt, I highly suggest contacting Kara! Not only can you build your confidence, it’s a great way to get stronger mentally and physically.”

“ Kara understands and cares about the struggle to gain and maintain strength and stability as the body ages. I’m in my 60s and was not sure I would be able to do a strength training program. Kara made it fun and attainable. Her unique workout is very doable. Her words are encouraging, supportive and motivating. She happily answers questions and volunteers helpful information. After four 1 hour sessions my clothes fit better, I lost one of my two love handles and my stamina to get through my day began to improve. After 12 weeks, I was able to go hiking for three straight days with my physically fit husband and on day three, we hiked 5 hours! I thank God for Kara and what she’s been able to do for me!”

" Kara is so knowledgeable with nutrition and fitness. She has helped me achieve my goals throughout her 12 week program. I just signed up for my next course of 3 months. I am so excited to see more results! Kara does what it takes to help you get where you need to be! She will follow you along on your nutrition journey as well as your fitness journey which sets her apart from most trainers."

" Training with Kara has been one of the best decisions I made for myself! I am not new to working out and I have tried it ALL. Kara’s program has been different and it’s showing real results. She listens to my fitness AND nutrition goals, tailoring a program specifically for those goals. I have had trainers in the past who start out strong but then just fizzle out… not Kara! She shows up, holds me accountable and encourages me throughout the entire program. Gaining confidence and strength is worth every penny in my opinion and I am so glad to be investing with Kara!"

Christine R.

" Being new to working with a trainer, I wasn’t sure what to expect. To my surprise I met with Kara Schlegel. She and I talked about what I was looking to accomplish and she put together a plan to work towards my goal. Kara is kind and easy to talk to but also expects you to work hard - very hard. Highly recommend. "

"I have been with Kara for 5 years. Throughout this time, I've had a baby, and we had a pandemic, but Kara was always consistent. It's not about goals with her. Obviously, if you have goals, she will help you achieve them. But if you work with her consistently, you will see it's about systems. She can create a system that works for you. My goal is movement. Throughout the years and guided by Kara, I have created strength and muscle and a passion for movement that I never had before. Working out with Kara is more than "working out". If you trust in her system and yourself, you will also gain the passion I have."

" Kara is amazing! I thought I would die during my first ever personal training session. But Kara makes the workouts fun and you feel so empowered after each session! Finished my first 8 week sessions with her and now I’ve started my 12 week session. Looking forward to seeing and feeling the results! "

" I started working out with Kara several years ago and my half marathon time improved by 20 minutes! Her classes are so much fun and challenging but in a great way. She offers modifications in strength and conditioning to better help you! Regardless of your size, age or new at working out she will help transform your body and make you stronger physical and mentally! The atmosphere is so clean and professional. "

"I’ve been strength training with Kara for over a year now and it has been life changing for me! She has taught me the benefits of lifting weights and in turn I have seen and felt positive results such as getting stronger, losing weight and mental energy. I went from not working out and not enjoying it at all to strength training 3 days a week and looking forward to it. Working out with Kara at Bodywork has become such an important part of my life! She is an excellent coach and I can’t speak highly enough about her and her strength training coaching! "

"Four years ago I had to make a decision due to horrible sciatic pain-either surgery or core strengthening. At 63, that was a big and very important decision. I chose to work with Kara, with her passion and knowledge to be my fitness coach. I’m now pain free along with feeling stronger and having more balance."

" I have enjoyed working with Kara! As someone who is competitive and been in sports and active much of my life I noticed I was getting sedentary as I aged. Work was demanding more and my life seemed to take a sit, literally. I have enjoyed the motivation and knowledge Kara has given me to get back into shape and push myself."

" I never thought I would incorporate strength training into my fitness routine. I’ve practiced yoga for years, Pilates, walked, and have done very basic exercising, until I came across Kara and got to know her and what she does. I threw my back out earlier this year and realized how much I needed to improve my core (especially after 3 kids). Kara is knowledgeable, passionate, and one of the most supportive people I have ever met. She knew exactly what my body needed to improve my quality of life. I was excited to work out with her every week (never thought I’d say that 😆) . No matter what stage of life you are in and what fitness goals you are trying to achieve, Kara can help you feel your best!!! "

" I have been seeing Kara on and off for years. I recently finished a 10 week at home program. I did 2x a week strength and conditioning workouts. All my workouts were created for my needs and for what I wanted to accomplish. Kara was there anytime I had a question. I was eating healthy meals and watching my caloric intake. I had great results in only a little over a month. My skeletal muscle mass went up 2% and my body fat went down .5%. My strength numbers improved so much when I retested. I didn’t realize how strong I could actually get. I’ve already started my next 10 week program. If you want personalized attention and top notch coaching, you have to try Schlegel Training. "

Before & After

Kaitlin's Story

Strength Training is the first and only workout I’ve ever stuck to. All credit goes to my personal trainer, Kara. If you’ve never worked out, or don’t think you could get through one session, girl…..same……or so I thought. Not only will you get through your first session, you’ll leave with confidence that you did it and keep going back! Kara is absolutely amazing at what she does. My goal last year was to be in the best shape of my life at 40 years old. Goal achieved ✔️💪🏻💯🏋🏼‍♀️

Angie's Story

"I recently I finished up my 8 week challenge with Schlegel Training (best gym ever) and about 1/2 way through I was feeling quite discouraged. I didn’t understand why my scale wasn’t changing and why I wasn’t miraculously shrinking the way I feel I should have been.

In addition to my 4 mornings a week in the gym I also hired Kara for nutrition guidance - and i was very consistent with it - My goal for this round was muscle gain, and I am so glad I took the “before” picture. Because looking at the numbers did nothing for me. However with the cleaner eating I was SO.MUCH. STRONGER. I felt so satisfied during testing week with my PR with leaning landmine lunge at 185# and my box steps at 180#

I have healed my core from my DR (diasti recti) (I’ve been working in that since august) and it too is so much stronger.

It’s really hard to not feel discouraged by the numbers, and although my changes were only 0.5% difference (higher muscle, lower fat) I can see and feel the transformation. What I learned from this challenge was to shift my perspective. My results are not going to show much in my plateaued numbers, I’m going to see the fruits of my labor in the gym- with my mobility and strength. I’m looking forward to another 8 weeks of challenging my body to do great things."

Shanna's Story

"I have to give a serious shout out to my trainer, Kara Schlegel.

I started working out with her this past January, and in 9 months, I look and FEEL like a completely different person. I started out working with her 4 days a week consistently on January 4th, so that I could gain enough strength to start running again. My ultimate goal has always been to increase my strength so that I can run SAFELY.

I of course am pleased with how I look in comparison to those 9 months ago. I birthed a baby and my body was healing. But I was ready, and Kara saw my determination. She pushed me. To lift heavier. To try one more rep. To get stronger. I’m here. I’ve accomplished so much in such a short period but I WANT MORE. So I continue to lean on Kara to help me meet my goals, and next spring I am going to crush my next goal - a half marathon."

Before & after

Lauren's Story

"Fitness is so much more than working out... Over the course of many years I’ve tried several workout programs, gyms and Fad diets. I’ve even worked with other trainers and coaches one on one. When I made the decision a few short months ago to give it one last shot, before just joining another public gym I reached out to Kara.

My story has been a little different over the last few months, and specifically the last 8 weeks I have found new determination, dedication and strength. I never once complained about having to go to a workout, and in fact looked forward to workout day for the first time ever! I would push myself to the MAX each session and look to make it more difficult, rather than settling for what was tolerable.

During one of my first workouts at Schlegel Training I put a barbell on my back and sat down on a bench, I couldn’t get up! I then tried to do it without the barbell and I still couldn’t get up with just my legs, never mind doing it from a box 12 inches off the ground. Then there were the split squats that everyone else was in a free stance and holding additional free weights while taking their knee to the ground and getting right up, meanwhile the first one I did I toppled over onto my side. After that I was expected to do an ipsilateral bird dog, which looked so much easier when demonstrated than it actually was, once even using the lightest weights I toppled over to the side, just trying to get the form down. Lastly, I was to hoist a bottoms-up kettlebell into the air, while holding another bottoms-up kettlebell in my other palm, yep once again even the lightest weight was a struggle for me!

I honestly was ready to give up until Kara saw me struggling and came to my modification rescue! I left that first week not feeling ready to quit just yet, but wanting to conquer the climb up the mountain. That is exactly what I did! We worked on strengthening my body from its core to gain stability and balance. I never gave up once, although I felt at times I wanted to! By the end of the 8 weeks I came out victorious. I had dropped 8.4% body fat and gained 4.1% muscle mass! I thought to myself “Who does that, well I did!”. I also finished by being able to put 60lbs on my back and squatting down to a box, and able to get up on my own. I stabilized my core to be able to meet the floor with just one knee and get up all on my own without device assistance. Those weighted kettle bell presses; yep! I was able to hoist 20lbs into the air while maintaining a steady stance and the ipsilateral bird dogs, not only could did I finally master the perfect form without falling over, but I was able to use a 15 lb. dumbbell while maintaining that perfect form.

Had I given up, like I did so many times before this, I wouldn’t of been given the opportunity to write this. I have been given an opportunity to thrive and succeed in conquering my fitness and weight loss goals, so that I can be the best Mom to my two girls. Who knows maybe I’ll someday have the opportunity to help another woman in my shoes, trying to find her place in fitness! But for now, I owe a lot of gratitude to my coach and friend Kara Schlegel, for pulling me out of my shell and giving me the courage to conquer this climb one mountainous climb at a time."
