More recently, she has transitioned from using the kettlebell to using the barbell for her squats and deadlifts. This has been a big goal for her and she is now able to squat and deadlift over 55kg! We are so proud of Karen’s commitment to being her best physical self and choosing the pain of discipline over the years. 

Not only has Karen noticed the difference in her abilities in Prevention but also outside of the Arena. Karen is an active person and when it came to retirement, she wanted to do it right! Part of this was looking after herself physically in order to be able to enjoy her passion for travel without the concern or worry of her body letting her down.

Karen Wing may not have achieved a marathon, however in our eyes she has achieved far more. She has proven to herself that she is capable of challenging herself and setting new goals that she thought were not possible. We couldn’t be prouder of Karen and hope that her story motivates and encourages others to think without constraints and to Dream Big. 

Karen credits Prevention with strengthening her back so that she experiences less back pain and is keen to keep achieving better and better outcomes. She is confident that PEAK’s Prevention space will encourage her to do this and is proud of being able to deadlift and back squat over 50 kgs. She hopes that 2024 will be a year in which she achieves even stronger Prevention outcomes and in which she and her husband Rob achieve their long held goal of exploring the Norwegian fjords!
