Hi, I’m Karl Leard

Your Health. Your Family. Your Future. Let’s Build It Together.

At FitYou Studio, I help busy parents take back control of their health—without giving up the foods they love. My mission is simple: help real people with real lives build strength, lose weight, and feel confident again through realistic, sustainable habits.

I get it—life doesn’t slow down for workouts or meal prep. That’s why my hybrid approach (in-person + virtual) is built around you, not the other way around.

Why Train With Me?

With over a decade of experience as a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES)through NASM—plus certifications in Muay Thai, Functional Fitness, Kettlebells, and Senior Fitness—I’ve helped 50+ clients create results that last.

At FitYou Studio, results and relationships go hand in hand. Together, we’ll design a plan that fits your life, builds your confidence, and helps you show up stronger—for yourself and your family.

My Story: From Struggle to Strength

I grew up watching my mom cope with stress through food—and I followed that same path. By my 20s, I was overweight, eating fast food daily, and ignoring the warning signs. Then came the chest pains and the wake-up call: “You’re on track to become diabetic.”

That moment changed everything. I cleaned up my diet, hired a coach, and lost 100 pounds. I felt unstoppable—until a back injury knocked me down again. But I refused to quit. I rebuilt my body, my mindset, and my life.

Now in my 40s, with my wife Jenn, our daughter Eloise, and our dog Harvey here in Baltimore, I understand what’s really at stake—health isn’t just about you. It’s about being there for the people who matter most.

Maybe you’ve had your own wake-up call. Maybe you’re ready to make a change but don’t know where to start. I’ve been there—and I can help you get to the other side.

Let’s build the strongest version of you—for yourself, your family, and your future.
