Cover Girl Interview - Karen Chavarria
1. How did you first hear about Hitch Fit?
I heard from Hitch Fit through my friend Andres Tabares who had completed an amazing transformation.
2. Tell us about your experience with Hitch Fit Gym Transformer Amy Gipson.
Amy Gipson is so much fun to work out with. She has this positive vibe and is always challenging me with new
exercise and nutrition tips. I can be at the grocery store and if I am not sure if something is healthy enough I
send the picture of the label to Amy and she will respond with feedback right away. When I tore my ACL and
meniscus Amy designed a new strengthening routine for my injured leg. Besides being the best personal trainer
I’ve ever had I feel that I can consider Amy a dear friend.
3. What do you love most about being part of the Hitch Fit family?
I love the positive and healthy environment that Hitch Fit family provides. As soon as I walk in the gym is this
wonderful feeling watching other Hitch Fitters working hard towards their personal goals. The Hitch Fit family
is so inspirational and fun!
4. What is your advice for people looking to make healthy positive changes to their health and fitness?
Surround yourself with peers who have similar goals, living healthy and being fit can be so much fun when you
surround yourself with kindhearted and wholesome people who share your goals. Through Hitch Fit I’ve met
incredible and inspirational friends that keep me motivated and challenged.
5. You won this Hitch Fit Living cover in our online voting competition, anything you'd like to say to
those who helped you achieve this awesome goal?
Wow! I am forever grateful for all those who took the time to vote for me. The support I received from my
family, friends and Garmin International was unbelievable. As soon as the competition started I received all
these kind messages from friends, friends of friends, coworkers, which it had never occurred to me that all this
time I had been an inspiration to them. I shall extend my special appreciation to Amy Gipson who volunteered
me to complete, Ludwig Bautista for creating a private WhatsApp chat “Vote for Karen” movement, Lindsay
Rose for creating a slogan and posting my pic in her social media page, Alexander Mobley who shared my link
with all his fitness peers, finally Desiree Bonilla for being my workout partner. Thank you all for the
unconditional support and for being there for me all the way! Thank you Hitch Fit for giving me this
opportunity! All of you have touched my heart in so many ways and inspired me to continue my healthy path.
