Karla Adams Sports Nutrition & Exercise Specialist

Mission & Philosophy

Karla Adams became entangled with the world of health at age 16, after getting a job at a local health food store (Clarks Nutrition). At first, she was simply intrigued by health and fitness, wanting to learn more about exercise and nutrition. After spending many hours reading about foods/nutrients that are quintessential to the body, and realizing how a diet lacking these foods could drastically affect an individual’s quality of life, Karla was no longer simply intrigued, but on a mission to educate people on health. 

After 14 years of being dedicated to understanding the health ills of society (i.e. 63% of the population being overweight or obese OR child obesity being so prevalent that the current generation of children is unlikely to outlive their parents), Karla created a company to affect health trends for the betterment of society. Her company, Karla Adams, Inc., is all about educating, motivating, and changing individuals and communities to increase the quality of life of present and future generations through health and fitness. Karla sees health and fitness as the strongest vessel to enhance one’s life physically and mentally.

Karla has been featured in many articles, magazines and on the radio. These achievements only excite her because they are opportunities to further educate people on aspects of their health, nutrition and exercise.

Karla’s current focus is on developing a team of fitness professionals that have the same passion as her. She has always had huge success with her personal clients, but acknowledges that to successfully spread her cause and affect society, she must branch out and create a team of individuals who are equally enthusiastic and knowledgeable about health and fitness.
