Ep 404: Own Your Path with Karen Maxwell

Are you interested in changing your habits?  Have you been struggling to figure out what path to take? Today, I talk with Karen Maxwell. Kinisi Performance was founded by Karen "Kmax" Maxwell, Senior Master Instructor and Director of Training at CycleBar, the premier name in indoor cycling. Kmax oversees over 2000 instructors worldwide while teaching multiple classes a week, giving her a unique perspective on the fitness landscape and culture. Kinisi is a reflection of that perspective, offering products that support and represent the SweatLife. We discuss being vulnerable, and why owning who you are is the most impactful thing you can do. Karen also shares the importance of not getting up comparing yourself to others and taking some time to make sure you know what you really want in life.
