Meet Our Guest, Keri
Keri Harvey is a NASM certified personal trainer and a Pain-Free Performance Specialist. She began her career in personal training after her own fitness journey transformed from aesthetic focused to working to feel strong and capable in everyday life. Keri moved from Texas to New York in March 2022 largely because she had a desire to be part of the positive changes Form Fitness Brooklyn was making in the fitness industry.
In addition to one on one training, she has had the privilege to be featured as one of Self magazine’s Everyday Athletes and collaborated as a fitness expert in Shape, Self, Livestrong, and Women’s Health magazines. Her ultimate goal is to help cultivate an inclusive and welcoming environment in the gym and for all of her clients to leave their sessions feeling strong and capable.
