Hi, I'm Karli!

I'm both honored and pumped to be part of the team of trainers here at Focus Personal Training! Get to know me and my style of training via my Instagram: @karli_sewell

 

My journey to becoming a personal trainer started when I was a pre-medicine student at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas. In the spring semester of my senior year, I realized that wasn't the route I wanted to take. I played college softball at Hendrix and had multiple shoulder injuries. Ultimately, it was strength and conditioning that kept me playing and helped me finish my collegiate career. After I graduated, I moved to the Northeast (New Haven, CT) to train major league baseball players and then moved again to get back to my roots of softball in Chicago. 

 

I have experience working with a wide array of clients, from professional athletes to people with hip replacements or those just wanting to build strength. My training philosophy is the same for all: lifting is and should be a fun, painless, lifelong endeavor.
