Hey babes!! This new Coffee Chat at ToneItUp.com/?p=300397 is very close to our hearts! We’re sharing how we first fell in love with fitness, how we met, and our inspiration for creating Tone It Up. We can’t wait for you to watch it! xxo
Tone It Up Thankyou so much for posting this! Really cheered me up during tough times during PHD! ❤️ Have you thought of podcasts on Spotify? Would love to listen to more!
This is from 6 years ago, it's now 2024. I was just sitting down with my laptop reading the first tone it up nutrition plan book that I have from 2013, and just now reading about both of your backgrounds, while listening to your coffee playlist and I already had tears in my eyes from reading about how your dad asked if you wanted anything and you said a treadmill. How your grandmother bought you a nutrition book, your mom invited you to pick out foods at the grocery store. Your dad set up a gym in the basement. Omg, just so sweet how your family rallied together to support you. 🥲 So sweet and touching! 💖🤗
I'm over here in tears ladies! Thank you for sharing your stories with us! Someone asked me why I've stuck with TIU and its truly because of the authentic, kind, caring souls that are Karena and Katrina! That radiates throughout the community! So thankful that you are doing what you truly love!
At the beginning when they talk about how moms are an amazing influence on their babes... I just became a mom a little over a year ago and this is my new “why” - to be a positive role model for baby Grey! You had me tearing up! 💕
I own on a prime account the show you all did! I loved it!!! Someone please bring it back!! I used to use all this daily as motivation! For work everything 😌
Thank you for being so honest and open with your story. I just got laid off of my full time job a week ago and I saw this as an opportunity to re-start up my passion for sharing the love of living a healthy lifestyle through UA-cam and Instagram... this was the inspiration I needed today! I have so much love for you girls and I'm very grateful for your love and passion for the community! XOXO
Karena, you have to write a book! Your story is so inspirational and motivational, it could change lives on a level beyond health & fitness! Love what you guys do :)
Found TIU when I was 16, now I'm 21. Crazy how much you guys have expanded your brand. Thank you for helping me lose the teenager weight and develop my fitness habit for life.
You all have no idea what an inspiration you've been as a military wife , Mom and wife love how you have been able to inspire me and keep helping me chase my dream as a personal trainer and getting my body back after baby you're simply amazing thanks to you 2018 will be the best year ever, thanks for sharing your expetience.
I literally found out about you girls like 3 days before the New Year's DETOX! What, was I living under a rock!!!! You are both EXACTLY what I needed and I can't believe you were so close. I love the positivity! My neighborhood bestie and I have been getting together in the evenings to do our Toning Moves on the App and sample each other's healthy cooking!!! We are trying new things and motivating each other while you motivate us too! THANK YOU!!!!! I can't wait to see where this journey takes us! #WheelingWestVirginiaTIU
You guys are the best! I use your videos for my first thing morning workouts and they totally kill me but are so worth it. Thank you for the inspiration and fun spark to my morning!
I love your stories and how you two came together and now you two are blessed with what you two created. I always been into fitness and recreational activities, was an athlete in since junior high school up until my first year in college. I couldn’t decide my major and then it dawn on me that I should major in physical education. I wanted to bring something different for the students K-12 and even at the college level. I got my degrees in PE and PE Administration, I’m certified in Group Fitness, Zumba, and Plyojam. It must be my assignment to help others and bring awareness about health and fitness (I get asked by friends, coworkers, customers,etc. about H&F), but my career hasn’t taken off and I’m not where I’m supposed to be in life. All this to say is, keep posting inspirational videos, keep doing your purpose in life, because you two have planted seeds in people lives and now you two are witnessing the fruition of your labor. 🙏🎉🧘🏽♀️👏 🏋🏽♀️ Ps. Maybe one day, I could be a TIU instructor.
It's crazy I love you guys and how positive and motivating you guys are. I love that you guys come from different backgrounds, and grew up with completely different bodies and now you both are lean and healthy.
I have JUST launched my physiotherapy business and this made me feel more confident about it. Beginning is never easy, I just need to trust my gut and what I wanna achieve. 💪
I wish I could find a friendship like yours... I have 1 good friend but she lives an hour away and is a newlywed .. even tho she is always there for me, it gets hard to make plans when life gets in the way and we have such separate lives. I wish I could find someone to share what I love and am trying to get into fitness. you guys are truly blessed.
This is amazing! I don't know what would I be without Tone It Up in my life. I have learnt so much from you, from being confident with my body, to start doing yoga, meditate and of course know how to eat healthy and doing workouts to feel stronger! You are my bigger inspirations in life, love you!
WINNIE omg so cute the whole time. This is a great video though. I love hearing you guys just sit down and tell us stories and about yourselves. That's what makes this community so special is that you let us get to know who you are. Please keep making videos like this :)
I LOVE This!!😍😢I am a mother of 4. Who has lost over 38lbs and I Realy want to go to college and take classea for health and fitness 1;I Love it and want to learn so much more 2:I want to enpower my hubby and family to listen and get Healthy with my knowlesge and help🙏
Katrina, I would LOVE to hear more about your pre and post natal fitness/nutrition background. I know lots of other TIU mamas and mamas to be would also love that as well!! Maybe even something for us TIU Members geared towards pre and post natal to go along with the amazing plans you've already created! :D
That's crazy awesome that your doctor told you to do yoga! Mine did too, but not necessarily for stress. I broke my back when I was 18, and when it healed I sort of leaned to one side because of how I broke the vertebra. Literally chipped off the sides of 5 of them *cringe* between my shoulder blades so I had a lean going on LOL. I asked my doctor after I had healed enough to where I wasn't in a lot of pain anymore if they would straighten out my back, and he said that he could do more damage than good so he suggested yoga. Thought he was crazy, but when I started working on my posture all of a sudden I fell in love! In love with working out, and absolutely love y'all's videos. Just started with y'all's app, and super appreciate the motivating talk videos :)
Awww loved this! I've been a TIUgirl and member since early 2014, so although I've heard these memories before, there's always a new and special detail I didn't know. I love you girls so much! Your story is so inspiring to other women with career dreams! I love watching old episodes of Toned Up for those humbler beginnings, and it's amazing to see how far you've come. I wish I could help you grow even more!! Proud of you, and so proud to be a tiugirl! xoxo, --Neha (NehaBeauty)
Karena & Katrina you will always be my biggest inspiration!! You ladies have come so far and you've both turned negative experiences into such positive, uplifting gifts for millions of girls (and boyfriends/husbands of those girls, who reap the benefits as well... as my boyfriend will tell me). I hope you girls continue to do what you do... because as long as you do, I will be a proud supporter, repping my 1,001 TIU items that I have at home hehe
