I have been working with Pam for about 8 months in a Strength, Stretch and Ballance class designed for seniors. She provides guidance and structure to help us develop and maintain body strength and muscle mass while improving our core strength and balance. She is great at providing alternatives to the various exercises to allow each of us to modify them in a way that will work best for each individual. She cares a great deal about her clients and offers additional advice on developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I can't speak highly enough of Pam. read more

For 25 years my daughter Phaedra and I searched for solutions to help remediate a physical disability caused by a childhood illness. After years of physical therapy with limited improvement, we had thought there was nothing more we could do to strengthen her legs and improve her balance. But then our good friend Taeko recommended Pam, and with tempered expectation, Phaedra agreed to try a few private sessions and to attend a couple of her classes at the YMCA. In our third private session, Pam figured out an exercise to work a muscle in Phaedra's legs that had atrophied due to nerve damage; a muscle her doctors said she would likely never use again. We could actually see the muscle flex during the exercise, and we were so excited and amazed! In 2 sessions with Pam at the Y public class, Phaedra was able to walk a straight line with only a little help to keep her balance. Pam provided exercises for Phaedra to do at home and Pam's compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent approach provided the just the motivation Phaedra needed to follow through. Not only does Pam have a remarkable understanding of the body, she also appears to have a gift for finding exercises to remediate physical disabilities. If you have difficult-to-remediate physical limitations, or you want some extra support through your recovery, we highly recommend you call Pam! read more

I had written a review last year but it mysteriously disappeared. During the summer I live in LA. The day I land, I get my hands on Pam's schedule because she's the best trainer I have ever had. She has a gazillion fitness certifications and can answer all your questions. I do personal training with her when I have odd hours. But I also go to her YMCA classes in Reseda and Van Nuys. My favorite ones are the Core & More and Aqua classes. She even planned an exercise regiment for me to do at home or when I'm travelling. Her prices are very reasonable and her recommendations are very kind to your body. read more

She's a blessing! Pamela is a skilled personal trainer, instructor and yoga teacher. I called out of the blue (found her on YELP) and she was warm and friendly over the phone. We scheduled some personal training sessions while I am visiting here at convenient times. Her rates are reasonable and she is an accomplished professional in every aspect of body work. I am a competitive tennis player and wanted to stay strong and flexible while away from the court for two weeks. Working out with Pamela will help me stay injury free and winning my matches when I get home. read more

Pam is a miracle worker. Beyond being an extremely knowledgeable and passionate trainer, she is a great person with such a kind heart. No matter how tired you may get, she will motivate you until you've accomplished your work out. As a client with mild scoliosis, I experience a lot of discomfort while performing simple day to day activities. When I could no longer bare the pain, I contacted Pam. And thank goodness I did! She designed a work out plan fit around my needs and helped me gain strength in my back to ease the pain of my scoliosis. Hiring her was one of the best health choices I've made. Thank you Pam!! read more

Pam Karamad was our trainer at our gym in Reseda, California and I was in her Strength Training/Core Conditioning, and her Stretch class for four years. She also taught Yoga and Stretch classes. She has a wealth of knowledge and is certified as a personal trainer. We had a very diverse class not only in age, but also in ability. Pam would be sure to adjust all the exercises to a person's ability level. She would show us the exercise for beginners, intermediate, as well as advanced. She would sprinkle the exercises with tidbits of knowledge from her continuing education classes, along with exercises for balance and building strength. Our classes used free weights, as well as exercises done standing, using the wall for resistance and leverage, as well as floor exercises. I just had surgery recently and emailed Pam to thank her for teaching us so much core strength and arms and shoulder strength using free weights. I would not have been able to get myself out of bed without the core strength from Pam's class, and since my left arm was out of commission due to my surgery, I relied heavily on the strength in my right arm and shoulder. It was immediately evident to me I would have been unable to navigate and care for myself during my recovery if it hadn't been for Pam and her class. If you can imagine someone making exercise fun and positive, it would be Pam. We all miss her and if you are fortunate enough to have her teaching you or your exercise classes, you will reap the benefits of her training and knowledge. read more

I recently made a decision to improve my physical fitness and health. I'm not really a fan of exercise so I knew I would not only need an experienced, trained person but someone who would motivate and encourage me to want to come for each session. I am so happy that I found that person in Pam! Each session is different so it never gets boring and she continues to challenge you, but only when she is confident that you are ready to escalate to the next level. Pam has such a knowledge and passion for exercise and her enthusiasm is contagious! I'm so glad that she has relocated from the West Coast to Vero Beach, FL. read more

I've worked with Pam for a year now both in person and via SKYPE. Pam's skilled guidance and unwavering support have been key elements in my successful recovery from serious muscle weakness. Pam is compassionate, funny and very, very good at what she does. read more

My parents really have never exercised in their whole life. With my father developing Parkinson's disease and my mom having back issues, I could never get them to consistently stick to an exercise program. Pam is a miracle worker. My parents love her so much, they would never cancel on her. Pam has a heart of gold. She motivates them to continue exercising. She has specific workout for my dad to help him with balance and to prevent falls and in the same session, she works with my mom to build up her core muscles to alleviate her back pain. I am amazed in the difference I see in my parents. Pam is an angel sent from heaven and I recommend her whole heatedly. read more

Been training with Pam for about a year now and have been getting great results. I've taken a couple group classes with her and the energy that she gives off is incredible. She really knows how to get everyone pumped up and excited to train. On the days where I can't meet up with her in person she even holds Skype sessions that allow me to train anywhere I am. I love that she treats everyone as a friend and I'm loving the results I'm getting! read more

I never ever thought I would have a personal trainer! I don't exactly love exercise, but I came to the realization that after 75 you must pay attention to your body or it will let you down big-time. Pam zeros in on what you need most, and it is almost even fun. The hour goes very quickly. She finds out what it is you want to be able to do or need to do. In my case, I want to be able to travel alone, walk on uneven streets, and juggle suitcases on and off trains in Europe. I already notice improvement in my balance and strength. I very much appreciate Pam taking charge of this part of my life and getting me going in the right direction. read more

When I got home for the summer, I was looking for a personal trainer who could help me increase my muscle mass and general endurance. I initially told Pam that I wanted my exercises to be tough, dynamic, and fun. She did not disappoint. By August, I was receiving compliments left and right about my physique - all thanks to Pam. She curates her workouts and attitude based on the goals of each of her clients to truly make you feel unique and understood. She is very friendly and really makes you feel like you are not alone in achieving your fitness goals. I highly recommend Pam to both my family and friends for whatever your goals are. read more
