Welcome to Lemoncrystals.ca,
I’m Karina a Certified Personal Trainer, Athlete and Nutritionist. In my own journey’s with food and movement I have grown both knowledge and first-hand experience in understanding what works and what does not. I’m a strong believer in overall well-being through the various avenues of fitness and nutrition. Through physical activity I find pleasure in testing people limits, finding their capacity, then smashing through those barriers that were once unbreakable walls. Dietarily I find the joy in exploring an individualized method of nutrition that best fits you; eating is always a personalized exploration. As I get to know every client I connect with, I grow quick to learn where to pull and where to push in order to find their own definition of success. I find pure joy watching greatness unravel right before my eyes as clients become friends, fearful become fearless, and “I can’t” becomes “I can”. I come from a place with your best intentions at heart and despite the discomfort we always come out smiling in the end.
What They’re Saying
Kelsey Sheddy, Student
"I started working with Karina about 6 months ago and it has been an absolutely transformative experience. I’ve accomplished movements/workouts that I never thought were possible for me and the confidence that comes with that has been an entirely new and exciting experience. I’ve since seen the impact of this new confidence in every aspect of my life - both personal and professional - and that’s why it’s so invaluable.
Karina has changed my entire outlook on physical health – quality over quantity, the mind-body connection, and that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Even when everything in me tells me I can’t keep going, she encourages me to do so and I leave every workout feeling incredibly proud of myself. Personal training with Karina has been the best investment into myself that I could have ever made - especially in the crazy year that is 2020! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to take back control of their physical health and feel empowered in their daily life.”

“Over the course of the last three years I’ve worked on and off with Karina. Originally when we started I was an amateur bjj competitor and looking to lean out and make weight. We achieved that goal easily with Karinas knowledge, and Care as a trainer. Fast forward a little under 2 years later and I reached out to Karina looking to change my relationship with food and exercise. I had let myself go and was 194lbs. Present day I’m 170 and am the strongest and leanest I’ve ever been. This was because of two things. My dedication to myself, and Karina’s dedication to me. She always goes above and beyond. From check in’s to pep talks.. to her thorough nutrition knowledge and her beneficial yet painfully difficult work outs. I feel really lucky to have Karina as a friend, mentor and coach. She gave me the tools to take back control of my life and I’m better for it. It’s been just about a year since our re-up and I’m still going strong with all the tools and programs that she so carefully structured for my success. Her generosity and overall character are rare and I’m so grateful that we crossed paths. If you want change call Karina; it’s not easy, but it’s that simple. Thanks for all you do Karina!”
