About Coach Carol
A Message From Your Coach
Hello, I am your coach, Carol Frazey. I want to help you run the first and/or best race of your life and have fun doing it,
Who am I and why am I here?
I am the president and founder of Fit School where we empower individuals through movement. I know. I know. You already are an empowered person, but a little more boost, information, hand-holding, and behind-kicking never hurt anyone.
Why should I listen to you Coach Carol?
Because I said so, AND because I've helped thousands of individuals add a consistent, soul-nourishing movement practice to their daily routines, and trained hundreds of people to run their first and or best race of their lives.
What I want for you:
I want you to develop a movement practice that is right for you. It doesn't need to be hard. If you are going to do something in life, I want you to find the fun in the journey. I can help you find that fun.
Fit School's Birth
" As Carol’s kids grew older, she started running regularly with a group of local women. “One day we were running, having a deep discussion, and I realized how easy it was to talk about things,” Carol recalls. “Sometimes it’s easier to talk when you’re not looking face to face, but doing something focused, like running on a trail.” As Carol turned to her running friends and said, “More women need this!” she realized what her next mission would be."

Fit School was born!
Well, what do you know?
Having been a runner for 40 years, I’ve had the experience of being a runner at every level. I learned running basics as a 13-year-old cross country and track runner. I was fortunate enough to run track and cross country competitively at Penn State University. I was also fortunate enough to start running again VERY slowly after gaining 42 pounds when I was pregnant with my first child and then 64 pounds with my second! As one wise woman commented, “You know, babies only weigh about 7 to 9 pounds when they are born!” It took me about 2 years after the birth of each of my children to get back to my “fighting weight,” but it was worth the effort.
Some other stuff about me that may impress some and bore others:
- M.S. in Kinesiology from The University of Colorado
- Author of The Fit School Diet Plan: 1 Year to a Nutritionally and Physically Fit Life e-book
- Co-author of 26.2 Life Lessons: Helping You Keep Pace with the Marathon of Life
