Karen Mason

I was a late starter with my fitness, not getting into doing anything until I was nearly 30. I remember my first visit to a gym as a nerve wracking, intimidating experience. But fear shouldn’t be a stumbling block so I stuck at it and began to love it!! As time went on I found I enjoyed helping others in the gym & studio so the obvious place to be was teaching. I also discovered a competitive streak that hadn’t shown itself before and became involved in competitive body building, haven’t looked back since.

I qualified to teach exercise classes, gym instruction and personal training, my life since has taken on a whole new direction, both through work and also in terms of personal satisfaction.

Since 1995 I have competed as a Natural Body Builder having won two British Titles with my highest placing so far of 3rd at professional international level and I’m still hungry for more.

I have taught Master Classes both nationally and internationally, have worked on TV chat shows and commercials in front of the camera and as a choreographer.

I love what I do and as the years go on I’ve learned to embrace life and any challenge it may throw at me along the way.
