Karlee grew up an athlete, playing sports year round from the time she was about 5 all the way through high school. After experiencing a sports related back injury followed by another pretty devastating knee injury, her journey to becoming a collegiate athlete quickly came to a halt. After high school and coming into adulthood, Karlee struggled to find a workout regimen that worked with her body after surgery. Eventually stumbling into a barre class, it was love at first pulse! Barre reignited her passion for health and fitness. She quickly became a certified instructor at a local barre studio in 2015, eventually leading to becoming an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, and opening up her own studio, Burn Fitness Co, in 2018 in Grand Junction, CO. Today, Karlee still maintains her ACE Personal Trainer Certification and is a Certified Health Coach. She has taken both the Barre Intensity Comprehensive Instructor Training and the Barre Intensity Prenatal/Postnatal Training, leading her now to becoming a Barre Intensity Master Trainer. When Karlee isn’t at the studio or training, she loves to continue learning about the always evolving industry of health and wellness. She loves to get outside and take advantage of the great outdoors in her backyard, spending lots of time on the river, hiking, fly fishing, camping, and spending with her partner, Jake, and their two dogs.
