​I began my health and fitness journey feeling lost, overwhelmed, and alone. 5 years later - my life has been filled with confidence, joy, and a lot of deadlifts! Carlie Young and Heart and Core Training Studio has truly changed my outlook on life. 

If you are looking for a trainer that is cold, uninviting, and crabby- Carlie isn't for you. Her kindness, caring heart, and kick ass workouts are enough to motivate anyone. Her work ethic and focus on her clients and their overall well-being and feeling of self worth is one that the world truly needs more of. 

Her insight and confidence in the fitness and health industry is unparalleled. Not only are the meal plans understandable and convenient- they are  actually yummy, and they work!

Workouts are completely designed to push and motivate her clients, and I personally have grown mentally and physically with her expertise. 

I truly cannot say enough positive things about Heart and Core Training Studio. I would not be the person I am today without support and love they have shown me. 

If you are looking for a friend, and someone who truly has your back (while making it stronger) - look no further than Carlie Young with Heart and Core Training Studio!

I am Dr. Craig Smith. I practice clinical orthopedics and sports medicine at Direct Orthopedic Care (D.O.C.)  in Meridian Idaho. During my career I’ve had the pleasure of serving as team physician for the Ohio State University (Buckeyes),  and South Dakota State University( jackrabbits).  And have served as a consultant for many other professional, collegiate, and high school sporting organizations.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Carlie Young since May 2017. From this time to November 4, 2017 she helped me train for a physique competition. Her experience was amazing! She did so much more than just write up workout programs and schedule diet plans: her knowledge of applied macro nutrition is second to none and I have worked with elite level trainers in the past. Carlie Young dots the I’s and crosses the T’s. She aggressively troubleshoots body fat percentage if progress is not being made and expertly uncovers the solution. She addresses the whole person; including sleep cycle, supplementation and uncovers psychological factors that impede progress. It is remarkable to observe her results, especially with impressionable young ladies that lack self-esteem. She pays strict attention to detail in mind body and spirit.

It has been an honor and a privilege to train under the expertise of Carlie Young and I would endorse her with my highest recommendation possible.

I first read about Carlie Young when she was recommended to a friend on social media. The person recommending her said that Carlie was an outstanding personal trainer and 'life coach.' That comment always stayed with me because it was such a glowing recommendation.
​
When I decided to compete for the title of Mrs. Idaho (my first ever pageant), I knew immediately that I needed to contact Carlie to help me get into shape for the swimsuit portion of the pageant.

As soon as I met her in person, I understood why she was so highly recommended. Carlie is everything you could want in a personal trainer; she is knowledgeable, kind, motivating, and non-judgmental. Carlie truly believes in you and your success. And, importantly, the definition of success is tailored to each individual client, which is strengthened by her unique ability to connect with others. She takes a genuine interest in every client and offers a holistic approach to health and wellness. She is hardworking, responsive, and accountable. She also expects and encourages this of her clients, which is why so many are successful.

Getting into shape can be intimidating when you lack the knowledge to be properly prepared and successful. Carlie brings a level of peace and approachability to health and fitness, making it manageable and attainable. She ensures that you have the skills to be successful outside of her training gym. She also encourages clients who are interested in continuing their fitness journey and coaches a team of high-achieving men and women; some of whom are nationally-qualified athletes. Instead of needing to hire a team of people (such as a nutritionist, personal trainer, posing coach, competition coach, etc.), you only need Carlie. She can truly do it all.

Even with the investment into her clients, Carlie finds the time to practice what she preaches. She lives the advice that she gives others. She is healthy, active, and committed to her own personal wellness. Carlie is a constant student and participates in ongoing education, training, and personal development. She is a role model to all who meet her.

 I made the Top 10 and then Top 5, finally being named the first runner up for the title of Mrs. Idaho! I truly believe that, without Carlie, my first pageant experience would not have been as successful or as enjoyable as it was

Since the pageant, she has remained a close friend who is personally invested in my health and success. I believe that Carlie has the ability to positively change the world and, more importantly, the ability to better every single person who has the pleasure of working with her.

Just some of our amazing client transformations!
