Lift n Lose ™

Karen McCoy - Fitness competitor, TV personality, and creator of Lift n Lose ™

Karen McCoy - Fitness competitor, TV personality, and creator of Lift n Lose ™

Our unique program that helps YOU to create a lean, shapely body!

What is it?

Lift ‘n Lose™ was created by fitness competitor and TV fitness personality Karen McCoy of Victoria, BC. Karen’s goal: to teach women how to successfully shape and tone their bodies through the fine art of strength training.

How long is the course?

Classes run 3 times a week, 1 hour in length. The program is 6 weeks long. We have both day and evening classes (please check schedule).

How do we see results?

We take your body fat, weight and body measurements at the start and end of the program. In this way, we can measure the results! But more than that, clients report feeling more energized, losing the weight, and looking more shapely!

I already know a lot about nutrition.

No you don’t. Not really. Karen teaches science-based nutrition principals (not market or corporate) coupled with her real-life experience to help you learn how to lose the weight, while cleaning and energizing each and every cell!

Will I see results?

Yes! If you follow Karen’s training and nutrition advice, you will definitely see results! (testimonials at the bottom of this page).

What other things do you include?

Clients learn about local farms and markets, organic foods, natural cleaners, green businesses, detoxification, supplements, herbs and more. Karen’s popular 5-day carb challenge and her 36-hour mini Juice Fast are also included. A FREE tour through the local health food store to learn about supplements, alternative foods, immune boosters etc. is provided.

Is there support outside of class?

Yes. Karen provides non-stop articles and videos on training, nutrition, and lifestyle through her popular web site (www.mccoyfitness.ca ). Karen is always available via email to answer any questions clients may have.

What happens if I miss a class?

We can’t offer make-up classes, but participants are allowed to come to one of the other scheduled classes on that day if needed. All classes run the same daily workouts, making it easy for clients to switch time frames, if needed!

What happens after the program ends?

Those who complete Lift ‘n Lose™ then qualify for Karen’s popular Keep it Up drop-in weight training / circuit classes that run on a monthly basis.
