Being healthy and fit has been a life-long priority for Karla. She met her husband Ed at a fitness club where they were working concurrently while attending Fresno State University. Together they enjoy and embrace the passion of being healthy and fit, and have passed it on to their three amazing children, Aubrie, Jacob and Ashton, and now their community.

Karla enjoys many aspects of fitness, including jogging, cross-fit, and outdoor cycling/ trail riding, but especially takes pleasure in the camaraderie and other aspects of teaching indoor spinning classes. As a multi-leveled, certified “SPINNING” instructor she challenges her class by offering a variety of powerful, concentrated workouts, including endurance, strength and interval training rides, often set to fun, “theme-based” music selections.

Serving as an educator in Tehama County for 20+ years, she is the current administrator for the SERRF After School Program, through the Tehama County Department of Education. In this role, health and fitness remain a precedence, in promoting their importance through curriculum, activities, professional development and daily programming for the 1500+ students, families and staff participating in the SERRF After School Program. As a rule of life, Karla loves devoting her time to being a great wife, mother, daughter, sister, leader, instructor & friend, while trying hard not to miss a good sale!
