Kara Miller

Degrees and Certifications:

Areas I Specialize In:

• Dance and other expressive movement; making movement fun.
• Functional training and fitness education.
• Developing sustainable healthy habits and lifestyles - making fitness work for you, instead of you working for fitness.

My Training Philosophy:

• The best exercise is the one you want to do! We all need to exercise, but if it isn’t fun, it’ll be much harder to develop and keep up good habits. I think two of the best ways to make it more fun is to add music, and have a partner (or team!) to share the stress and the reward--no wonder I love dance classes!
• Fitness is far too important to take seriously, so I prioritize learning from mistakes, making friends, and making steady progress--not expecting perfection. Never let the perfect stand in the way of the good.
• When in doubt, dance it out.

Interests and Achievements:

• I’m most proud of becoming a Zumba instructor despite my lack of rhythm, but finishing my college degree is close.
• I love all dogs, especially wolves and German shepherds.
• Adventure! I do fun runs and obstacle races, and love exploring the outdoors with my two dogs--oh, and my husband and daughter.
