What Her Clients Say...

“Carin Cavalho has been my personal trainer since I joined the Merritt Athletic Club over 6 years ago. With
Carin’s guidance, I have lost 30 pounds, decreased my body fat by 17%, completed a Century Bike Ride and l finished the Disney Princess Half Marathon.

In the past 18 months I have been diagnosed with breast cancer and Carin has supported me through my
diagnosis, mastectomy and reconstruction. She has been there for me through all of the ups and downs.
Perhaps even more important than improving my fitness, Carin has helped me to believe in myself, to feel empowered and confident with my physical and my emotional self. Because of Carin’s optimistic nature and positive support, I’m not afraid to try new things; I can do things I never thought possible!” -Deb Nelson

“Carin Carvalho has been my personal trainer for the past 4 years and I have loved every minute of it. Her
vast knowledge of exercise and nutrition makes her one of the best. One of the most important attributes
of a good trainer is listening to what the client wants and needs and Carin definitely has this skill. She
designs challenging workout routines that are specifically designed for my needs. Not only does she
instruct me on proper techniques and create exercises that target my specific goals, but also she motivates
me towards my full potential. Carin’s certification in Pilates has introduced me to a whole new method of
exercise that has transformed my body and belief in strength training. I would not have
accomplished half of my goals if it weren’t for Carin’s guidance and support.” -Shae Bader
