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.
I reside in Bath with my husband, Jason, and our children, Seona (12) and Ram (6). As one would expect, I thoroughly enjoy my personal strength training time in the gym, but what you may not know is that is also my time of worship.
My Services
Personal Training
Personal training is ideal for someone who is serious about achieving specific physical goals pertaining to their strength and overall functional movement. In a private 1 on 1 session, you will receive 100% undivided attention to guarantee proper instruction for maximum results and safety. Each session is part of a structured program tailored to fit your needs, while prioritizing your goals and abilities.
Semi-Private Personal Training
Semi-private training is a great option for those who would like to incorporate a little friendly competition and an accountability partner to motivate one another. In a semi-private 1 on 2 session, both individuals will receive simultaneous attention to guarantee proper instruction for maximum results and safety. Each session is part of a structured program tailored to fit the needs of both parties, while prioritizing individual goals and abilities.
Small Group Training
Small group strength training classes bring together people with similar goals and abilities, empowering them to challenge themselves and support others. These classes are kept small, giving me the ability to provide one-on-one attention within the group, as well. Commitment and consistency are essential with this program to ensure progression throughout the duration of the program.

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."

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."
