It’s true that Carolyn is different, and that’s what makes her so great. I refer patients by telling them it’s an “upper level” form of personal training, because that’s the term their used to…but really, she does what some doctors do in helping people avoid surgery, recover from muscular and neurological conditions…and in many senses, she does what no doctor can do. The CHEK work is used by thousands of practitioners, similar to how chiropractic is used by thousands of doctors, BUT, when it’s used in it’s purest form by a Level 4 practitioner the work takes on a whole new meaning.
I steer people towards Carolyn because of her expertise, and “warn” them that she likes to converse more than I do, so they might be taken back at first by a health care provider who is so open, amiable and warm. She’s special, and I’d feel comfortable sending my own family in to see her.

I sought an alternative to the shoulder surgery recommended by my Orthopedist for severe shoulder impingement. I have worked with Carolyn Vanzlow of Omega Fitness for 6 months. I had noticeable improvement in my shoulder range of motion and pain reduction within the first 3 weeks of starting her stretching/exercise routine. I now have about 90% of my former shoulder motion and range and about 95% reduction in shoulder pain. I have avoided a more costly surgery but more importantly, I have avoided the months of lost work, months painful surgery recovery, and the likelihood of a second surgery. I now know how to keep my shoulder healthy. This has been one of the best decisions of my life.

"Two years ago if you told me I'd be running (and placing) in triathlons, I would have told you there was no way in this lifetime. At the time, several doctors told me that I'd never run again due to what I thought was extensive and irreversible injuries to my body. The only answer at that time was epidurals, steroid shots, immobilization and pain killers. Carolyn set me up with programs and exercises I've never heard of or done before, the right nutrition via metabolic typing and a genuine passion in helping me achieve my goals.
Like most (tri)athletes, I bought into the theory that the only path to success was to put in hundreds of miles a week. Strength training was an afterthought. Through Carolyn's patience, persistence, and belief in my abiltiies, I have come to realize that my body functions just fine if my muscles are strong and fed the right fuel. Not only have I lost body fat and gained lean muscle, but I feel my muscles actually power me through a swim, bike and run, instead of relying on sheer determination and a few gels."

"I wanted to find a personal trainer and my doctor, Dr. Michelle Walker (www.balancebodyinstitute.com) recommended I see Carolyn Vanzlow.
During that time, I was having a lot of hip, knee and sacroilliac pain. I thought Carolyn's training would be like physical therapy, but she worked all my muscles in different types of exercises I had never seen before. She recommended I take the test for Metabolic Typing for nutritional support. Since I have been doing the exercise and Metabolic Typing I have gone
from a size 16 to a size 12, and I am still losing. I feel much better, my pain is under control and I am living a more active and full life.
I'm so grateful to work with a Chek Practitioner like Carolyn . I recommend her to everyone."

Since I began treatment at Las Vegas Functional Fitness Institute, I lost 7% body fat and 10 pounds in 1 ½ months working with Carolyn Vanzlow. I now weigh 110. I did this with the diet she put me on and exercise program. The diet is based on Metabolic Typing® and I found I love most of my food on my list (meats especially). Carolyn gives you exercises to work your core. This helps me emmensely because I have scoliosis. I have been going to a Chiropractor at Optimal Health Chiropractic (optimalhealthvegas.com) as part of my treatment and together my curve has decreased from a 40 degree cob angel to a 25 degree cob angle. Carolyn's exercises helped me hold my adjustments made by the chiropractor and her exercises also helped reduce my pain to almost none.

One month ago I started with Carolyn because of her own dramatic story. I thought "hey, I 'm not THAT bad"; she can help me with my minor "stuff" for sure! It's been beyond what I thought we would do together, already - and we've only started. I feel certain I will get back to my sleek, fit, enduring and energetic self. I have lost 12 pounds, have better energy, my balance, posture and movement patterns happen just automatically! - have improved with Carolyn's dietary and nutrition directions - and with her beyond - ordinary fitness program and sessions. She is truly unique, and absolutely cares about whoever she works with. Truly - I can't recommend her highly enough - if you really want to change the functionality of your life - dramatically.
