meet your coach

Hi, I'm Carly, founder of True North Performance!

As a former NCAA Division I gymnast, I understand the dedication, discipline, and resilience it takes to compete at a high level. My passion is helping athletes build not only the physical qualities needed to perform, but also the confidence, work ethic, and character that support long-term success.

I earned my Master of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in coaching and have spent more than 15 years coaching athletes across a variety of ages and competitive levels. Over 6 years of collegiate strength and conditioning experience, I’ve helped athletes improve their strength, speed, power, and overall athletic performance.

In addition to my coaching experience, I am a Certified Nutrition Coach and Personal Trainer. My approach combines evidence-based training with individualized coaching to help every athlete reach their full potential.

At True North Performance, my goal is to create an environment where athletes are challenged, supported, and empowered to grow in both sport and in life. Every training session is designed with purpose, helping athletes develop strength, confidence, and mindset to perform at their best.

Being trained by Carly throughout my collegiate career is something I will always be grateful for and consider one of the greatest blessings of my athletic journey. Every workout was intentional and directly translated to my performance on the court. I became stronger, moved quicker, worked through old injuries, and rebuilt confidence in my body. What truly sets Carly apart is who she is as a person. She became a mentor whose influence reached far beyond the weight room. She celebrated every accomplishment, believed in me even when I doubted myself, and has had a lasting impact on both my athletic career and my life.

It’s hard to talk about Coach Carly without mentioning how she inspires everyone around her. During the time we worked together, she taught me the power of a positive mindset and how discipline can lead us to achievements we never imagined possible.

My relationship with Coach Carly was incredibly special and truly life-changing. From the very beginning, she welcomed me with genuine kindness and became a source of support during some important moments in my life. Our shared passion for fitness, sports, and living a healthy lifestyle brought us together in a unique way. Even though we came from different cultures, we found a universal language through training that connected us, creating a bond built on respect, encouragement, and mutual growth.

I continue to look up to Coach Carly as one of my greatest inspirations and role models. Hopefully one day I’ll be like her.

I started training with Coach Carly toward the end of my collegiate athletic career, and she was the first strength and conditioning coach who truly encouraged me to listen to my body. She helped me modify workouts through injuries and challenged me to dig deep when I was healthy. Coach Carly has a unique ability to set high expectations while remaining positive and supportive. The discipline and healthy habits she helped instill in me continue to have a lasting impact on my life.
