Who Are Kimberly Charity & Whitney Schneider?
Kimberly Charity is a former corporate real estate researcher turned online fitness coach after the age of 40. Finding a career to help others, while being able to be involved in her kids’ lives, became her focus after many years pursuing degrees.
Whitney Schneider was was an athlete in high school and due to a knee injury my senior year I spent a lot of time in physical therapy. I greatly enjoyed my time in rehab and believed that was the path I wanted to pursue. After some time in college pursuing a degree in Physical Therapy I decided it just wasn’t what I wanted. During this time I had become a personal trainer at the KU Ambler Student Recreation Center and obtained an internship with KU Strength and Conditioning.
This is when I really fell in love with strength training and coaching. I’ve always enjoyed helping others achieve their goals and this career path has allowed me to do just that. It’s a pleasure to work alongside my husband as we build a community focused on health and fitness. And it brings me great joy to coach such hard working individuals dedicated to those same goals. We are extremely proud to own and operate our business in Lawrence, Kansas
Mic Drop Moments:
“Finding a fitness routine that aligns with your goals and lifestyle is crucial for long-term success.”
“Building confidence and feeling comfortable in the gym is important for women’s fitness journeys.”
“Incorporating fresh, whole foods into your diet can lead to improved skin, gut health, and overall well-being.”
“I like to go work with a trainer where they tell me what to do. They count for me. I don’t have to make any decisions because I have to make decisions all freaking day long.”
“There’s so much shame and guilt with women in the Western world. It’s kind of like when you get a housekeeper, like somebody wants to shame you like, ‘How is this shameful?'”
“The best thing that my client could do is do 20 minutes of an hour workout without feeling like they failed.”
