About me

My name is Karolina Matouskova Williams. I was born in Brno, Czech Republic and I moved to Houston, TX in 2014.

For my whole life I have loved sports - my parents were great introducing me to all types of sports. I was doing figure ice skating, gymnastics, ballet, skiing and dancing since I was a little kid.

In the Czech Republic I studied a Faculty of Sports at Masaryk University and graduated with Bachelor Degree in Sports & Management.

My career as an instructor started in 2010 when I became a Zumba® Instructor. A year later teaching fitness classes became my full time job and in 2012 I became a Zumba® Jammer (choreography specialist) and traveled whole Europe teaching workshops for Zumba® Instructors. Simultaneously I was extending my education and qualifications - I've added Pilates, chi-toning, PortDeBras®, Piloxing® and many more and I've attended numerous of fitness workshops to grow my knowledge.

In 2014 after I moved to Houston, TX I continued to teach the group fitness classes.

In 2015 my daughter was born and after a maternity break I slowly returned back to teaching.

I started to focus and specialize more in prenatal & postnatal pilates/fitness/yoga classes in 2016 and also focused more on personal trainings.

In 2019 I finished my Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Excerise Specialist certification.

I love working with pregnant and postpartum clients - I like to help them on their way to motherhood and after becoming new moms I like to help them to recover their body in a safe way.

The variety of my clients is wide, I don't only specialize on prenatal and postpartum. I value each of my clients, help them meet their goals while understanding and respect their needs and I do my best to make them feel healthy and well overall and make the workout fun.

I focus on functional training to make the body fully functional to copy every day life activities.

I'm CPR/First Aid certified.

I'm AFAA Personal Trainer & Group Fitness Instructor.
