in addition to previous training with both Ellyse and Sarah, Carolin has been training with Prime Fitness for the past 6 months.

"In January I signed up for a charitable mountaineering adventure project called Summit for Someone. The project raises funds to provide underprivileged urban youth with positive adult mentoring through wilderness camping. By climbing Mt. Shasta in northern California, I was able to raise over $3000 and sent 10 kids to camp for the summer.

Soon after signing up, I approached Ellyse and Sarah with many questions about training. They provided valuable insight and helped me gear up and run my first 10K race in preparation for my climb! My training consisted primarily of running, climbing stairs in my office building, strength training, a combination of prime fit classes and personal training sessions and maintaining a fairly balanced diet. Their guidance was very helpful in preparing me to summit! Not only did I beat my time in the 10K race, I summited 14,162 feet without any injury or physical strain! The trip was very mentally challenging, but physically I was very well prepared. I am looking forward to training with prime fitness again for my next endeavor!"
