What traits in others are you attracted to?

I’m drawn to people who know who they are and don’t worry themselves with what others perceive, people who laugh easily, people who make or appreciate music in a passionate way, people who found the balance between levity and gravity, low stakes and high stakes, people who are great with words, and people who like to sit for too many hours at Sunday brunch.

What was the best gift you ever received?

When I turned 19 I asked my Grandma Bea to write down stories from her life and when I turned 25 she handed me a bound book filled with her memories.

If you could be any animal which one would you prefer to be and why?

I’d be a baby kangaroo. Cozy.

What word describes you best?

If you were invisible, where would you go?

Praise From Our Clients…

“I have been so pleased with your influence on my health, my physique and my life. I am so grateful for your hard work and focus and positive spirit which all combined to help me achieve the goal I set for myself. You have been so supportive and encouraging and the cliche is true: I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you very, very much.”

- Liz P. | Sr. VP of Advertising, Ralph Lauren, New York City

"Just wanted to drop you a note to sincerely thank you for sharing your knowledge…I've always been the type of person to order in or eat whatever is microwaveable in the freezer. It hasn't been until recently that I decided to actively pursue better health through exercise and proper nutrition. Your tips have been SO helpful to me. Wanted you to know that someone out there really appreciates your efforts. So thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you!!"

- Jen K. | New York City

“I was looking to improve my diet and lose some weight, so I signed up for a 6 month program with Barefoot Tiger. They made me feel very comfortble, and created a program that focused on my weaknesses. They also went above and beyond to help with me with random requests, like sporadic gym sessions, going to the grocery store with me and dining out at a healthy restaurant. I ended up losing the weight i wanted to lose, and also have a much better awareness of my diet and how different foods affect me. Barefoot Tiger offers a wealth of knowledge – real people who understand how real people eat. I highly recommend their programs to anyone who is ready to make the change!”

- Katie K. | Advertising Executive, New York City

“[The Barefoot Tiger staff have been] a perfect match for me. They are all so intelligent, committed, but not zealous or heavy-handed. They are normal people who live a healthy lifestyle and totally understand the give and take of fitting in consistent exercise in a hectic life…The quality of the guidance has been exceptional…”

- Barb L. | Producer, New York City

“When I started working with BT, I wanted to get in shape and enjoy doing so. I did! My yoga practice [improved], and I lost around twenty pounds working with Karen on Nutrition. I also lowered my cholesterol and learned how to better distress. Both Jessica and Karen have been especially positive and encouraging with me…Finding a connection between how I care for myself physically and how I care for myself spiritually has ultimately been very fulfilling.”

- Amy B. | Artist, New York City

“I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome about 10 years ago. After my second child was born, my Fibromyalgia and CFS became virtually incapacitating. Out of desperation I decided to try one more time [with Barefoot Tiger] .Today, only four months later, I am virtually symptom-free! I’ve even been able to get off my medications! I never thought it was possible to live without pain and fatigue. Karen has opened up a whole new world of eating and living that I never knew existed.”

- Kayle K. | New York City

“I owe my body and my sanity to Barefoot Tiger. Best personal trainers in NYC.”

- Chloe D. | New York City

“My husband says that I have completely changed and for that I am forever grateful to Barefoot Tiger and their staff. Thank You!!!!”

- Kayle K. | Manhattan
