The doctor tells you what needs to change. The coach helps you make it happen. Dr. & Mr. Fitness brings them together.
Knowing what you should do and actually making it part of your life are two very different things.
Dr. & Mr. Fitness brings medical expertise and professional fitness coaching together to help adults build strength, improve health, preserve muscle, move better and create habits that last.
Whether your goal is healthy aging, better fitness, improved metabolic health, maintaining muscle while losing weight, or simply feeling stronger and more capable, we help turn good intentions into a practical plan.
Karin brings decades of medical experience and a physician's perspective to women's health, healthy aging, metabolic wellness and lifestyle medicine.
Her role is to help clients understand the medical factors affecting their health, identify appropriate interventions and establish evidence-based goals.
Francis translates those goals into action through strength training, exercise programming, accountability and sustainable behavior change.
His emphasis is not simply exercise for weight loss. It is developing strength, muscle, mobility, balance, endurance and functional capacity for life.
Before coaching, Francis spent 30+ years in healthcare leadership, including physician recruitment for Duke, UMMS and Teladoc. He knows how doctors think, and how to turn their advice into a plan people actually follow.
