I was an intern for the owner, Karen, last fall and had an unfortunate, unprofessional, terrible experience. First, she runs her company off of unpaid interns who rotate every 3 months. I should have taken that as a red flag, but I looked past that because of my excitement to learn more about the wellness industry. I was told that I would work in the office during the day and then have occasional events at night during the week. I soon found out that I would be going to events alone, or with another intern and had no training on what these events would consist of. The owner left it up to me on how to get to the events and parking, which means I was spending a lot of money and miles on transportation when I was not even getting paid! Believe it or not, the owner had asked me to drive her to a nail appointment during work as well. Unbelievable! She spent hours and hours of every week planning parties and online shopping while we sat next to her and worked for her company without pay. On the other side of things, there was no compassion for any of the clients. She wanted their money and that was it. It was extremely hard to go to work for a company that values money over health and happiness. Karen was wonderful at putting a fake smile on during meetings, but quickly bashed anyone who questioned the pricing afterwords. There was also an instance that a previous client from the past years had emailed our email account accusing her of stealing $ 800 and said she is still waiting to get it back. That really got me wondering. After much thought, I ended my internship a week early and never returned. I am very saddened that my first experience in the wellness industry was a negative one and that many people that have been taken advantage of may have given up on their health because of this. I hope they all know that there are great leaders and coaches out there who truly do care about their well being!

I’m a huge fan of KB Fitness! I’ve been training with Lindsay and she’s been awesome. She has taught me a lot about weight training, endurance, stretching, etc etc. She changes up the routines each time so it’s always interesting, challenging, and FUN! I never was a fan of hitting the gym, but she has made me look forward to training/working out! She pushes me just enough to where it’s still enjoyable and not torture, ha! Highly recommend.
