An introduction about Karen the founder of the RudigerMethod:

    Karen Rudiger is a fitness scientist and trainer; an inspirational athletic example at 52 years age. She teaches the importance of developing “muscle function” as being the central rule of physical development, in how muscle is the support system of the skeleton and most every system in the human body. Karen is passionate about searching for the truth where discovery is about learning to identify the simple 'Laws of Nature'.

Karen has a friendly humble demeanor, and views herself as a life time student of Mother-Nature". She is rich with knowledge and athletic and teaching experience and can unlock the hidden potential in any body that commits to being a student of her work. Karen is a true motivator and fitness pioneer, bringing a 'new' meaning to the word 'exercise'. She is a visionary ahead of her time, an extreme athlete, coach and trainer, and continues to dedicate her life towards the advancements of scientific body-study. Karen has big ideas and is passionate about keeping her work motion. She originated the “one-on-one/personal training" concept and was the first to launch this great idea into the health club industry in the early 1980's, where she promoted herself as an athlete and personal-trainer at the former Vertical Club in NYC. Although the original "personal-trainer" concept was been led astray by greed and low standards, Karen continues to demonstrate how physical training is best learned through mimicking a well conditioned body. She committed her life to excel and believes mediocrity in the fitness industry has caused too much misguidance, disappointment and injury against the consumer. Karen is an advocate for the importance of leadership through "athletic-modeling", she is a promoter of teachers, trainers and coaches whom are an inspirational athletic example, free from injury and fit to perform any necessary demonstrations.

Karen’s athletic history and developing flexible-strength and balance is the foundation which formed her graceful aging process. She believes ignorance and the long term 'neglect' of physical development is the primary cause of pain, injury and the degenerative conditions and should not be blamed on the aging-process.
