Our Journey
Gina and Karien met in 2012 because both of their youngest boys were in the same Preschool on Sullivans Island, SC. They quickly became friends and shared the same passion for health and exercise.
In 2016 Karien realilzed the importance of bringing a group of women together to offer them cardio and strength training in a small settings. She began this based out of PrimeTime Fitness and Gina joined the group. Quickly after, a Yoga class taught by Gina was added to offer a more complete program and more balanced exercise plan. This was the start of Karien and Gina as professionals working together. In 2017 they organized the first woman’s retreat to Costa Rica which included daily exercise, yoga, adventure and relaxation. Many succesful retreats have followed and continue to be a big part of what CostaVida Fitness is all about; adventure, fun, friendships and more.
