Spotlight – Gina Karshner 

If you’ve met Gina, she is no doubt one of

your favorite human beings on the planet (if she’s not, there is something wrong with you!). Pound-for-pound, she’s got more grit than anyone (hello?! BURPEES are her favorite movement!). She’s a single mom who is very involved with her teenage son’s football activities. She works full time. She never neglects spending time with her parents and her adult daughters. And she makes it to the gym 5-6 days a week at the 5 AM class with

a pep in her step and a huge smile on her face.

Gina shows up to mobility sessions and Vero Barbell. She competed in Vero Beast. She tracks her food. She sets

goals and then she demolishes them. Gina has NEVER made an excuse. She has literally become the benchmark we compare all others to…”well, if Gina can do it…”

And on top of all this, she is positive and kind. She introduces herself to everyone and genuinely gets to know and

truly cares for people. We really can’t say enough about this lady!
