Carmen has always had an active lifestyle. She started with Ukrainian dancing at the age of seven and participated in volleyball, basketball and cross-country running throughout high school.
When she retired from Ukrainian dancing she starting competing in figure competitions as a way to spend time on stage. Competing taught her how the proper combination of weight training, cardio and nutrition could change her body. In addition to competing Carmen also trained for a marathon, ran Death Race four years in a row as part of the CTV relay team and raced competitively on Grant MacEwan University's cross-country running team.
Carmen completed her Can-Fit-Pro Personal Training Specialist certification so she could help others reach their fitness goals.
