Posing Specialist

In preparation for upcoming local shows, I am offering a weekly posing class, starting Saturday, August 12. I am endorsed by and trained under IFBB professional fitness superstar Tanji Johnson, who will be traveling to Anchorage on August 5 to kick off the class. Tanji has taught me how to critique and correct others’ posing styles. Tanji has a unique ability of being able to assess the best way for an athlete to present herself to display her strongest features. She has taught me the in’s and out’s of posing and stage presence and is among the nation’s leading posing experts. Please visit her website at www.tanjijohnson.com and be sure to buy a copy of her posing CD if you’re unable to attend a clinic or seminar.

Personal Training

I’m currently accepting new clients for online or in person fitness training. I will design a program to specifically meet your individual needs. Please email me at Karen@karenpatten.com for more information, or visit my online training website at www.fitnessgenerator.com/karenpatten to sign up.

Endless Rope

This Alaskan based company has developed a multi-functional piece of exercise equipment for upper body strength and endurance. You can set the resistance to low and pull for a 30 minute cardio session; you can set the timer, change the resistance, and build upper body endurance for a fitness routine, and you can change the resistance to get the best upper body pump you’ve ever had to step on stage for a physique round. The possibilities are endless! Open this link for more information endlessrope and email me for ordering information at Karen@endlessrope.com.

Thank You’s:

A special Thank You to my family. Without the unwavering support of my husband Lex, I wouldn’t be able to live the life I enjoy. He’s been supportive and given me confidence whenever I’ve needed it.

To my daughters, you’ve inspired me to be a better person, you’ve taught me patience, perseverance, and given me hope for the future. I love watching you grow and am so proud of who you are!

To my parents, thanks for supporting me through the rough times- I never doubted your love or support. I’m proud to be like you- I couldn’t ask for better role models in life!

Thanks to Allure Day Spa. Your expertise and knowledge has allowed me to step on stage with the confidence that comes from knowing I look my best! Thank you for your generous sponsorship.

For the best music mixer around, get in touch with Jaime at Mixed Up Studios. He can be reached at (907)223-5622.

Thanks to Rose Mlakar, my friend and spray tanner. I appreciate your sponsorship and sense of humor!

Last but far from least, I have to acknowledge Tony Weaver, Alaska’s fearless NPC leader. Your guidance and support is priceless and deeply appreciated.
