Hello and welcome to CC Fitness! My name is Carly Pedersen and I live in Detroit Lakes, MN. My passion for Fitness and Wellness started in High School. I was a two sport athlete and worked with a personal trainer. From there, I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science from North Dakota State University in 2010. I have been a Personal/ Small Group Trainer and have taught fitness classes for the last 15 years and still love it!!! I hold certifications as a Personal Trainer (National Academy of Sports Medicine), Fitness and Nutrition Specialist (Exercise and Nutrition Works), and Worksite/Individual Wellness Specialist and Program Manager (National Wellness Institute), to name a few. I enjoy helping others reach their fitness and wellness potential through encouragement, motivation, and support! I strive for my clients and class participants to kick the self doubt and believe that they are capable of accomplishing anything! One of my favorite quotes is “You don’t have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great!”
