Johanna Carlson

Manager

My name is Johanna I am originally from Finland and I moved to the States in 2015 because I wanted (and needed) a change. And very soon after the move, I felt like I found the home for me. Since I moved here, I wanted to improve my overall health and find the athlete in me again that I've always been. I played a lot of different sports while growing up in Europe, some of them on a national level. I played soccer, floorball and was a track and field athlete as well. Nowadays, I compete in bodybuilding shows, in the bikini division. So, sports and fitness has always been in my life and it truly is my passion and I could talk about it all the time. So, if you ever have any questions – don't hesitate to tap my shoulder! My background comes mostly from different types of customer service, management and sales environments, but I finally made a promise to myself and decided to pursue the passion I have for managing a business and helping others to reach their goals.
