Meet Caroline Caliri
Hi! I’m Caroline Caliri, originally from Boston MA, but have been living in LA for 3 years and loving it! I’m a certified personal trainer, group fitness coach at Orangetheory, running coach, swim coach, fitness model, marathon runner, and former D1 college swimmer. I have been in the fitness industry professionally for over a decade, but I have been an athlete my entire life. I started competitive swimming from the age of 6 through all 4 years of division 1 athletics in college. Running has also always been a passion of mine, having grown up in a running family. My mom, aunts, cousins and I travel the world running marathons together, and the rest of the non runner family members come along as our cheer squad! I am a huge advocate for strength training, as I know the many benefits when it comes to injury prevention both for running or any sport, and for life in general, especially with age. I consider myself not only a fitness trainer, but a health coach. I am knowledgeable about all things health, be it nutrition, healthy cooking, sleep, recovery, and daily habits. I have been a plant based vegan for 7 years and am a former private chef. I love helping people change their lives, regain their confidence, and be their best selves!
