ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Darcy Carn, Paramount Fitness owner. I’ve been involved in the fitness and nutrition industry since 1995.  Over the past 27 years, I’ve worked in both private training studios, in-home personal training, Pilates studios and multiple health clubs in New Jersey. Clients ranged from young children, teens, athletes, pregnant women, and adult men and women. 

My plan was always to be the healthiest, strongest version of myself so I could be a role model for my clients, children and family.  I quickly learned no matter how hard you plan, sometimes the universe sends you on a different journey. In 2013 I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and Bartonella (a co-infection of Lyme disease), which would forever change my life and my families too. During my treatment (too many years to count) I decided to focus on how I could still work in the industry without overtaxing my body.  Pilates and health coaching seemed to be the perfect solution where I could still help clients with movement and mindset without overtaxing my body. I took this unplanned ‘down time’ to get certified in both classical Pilates and NBHWC Board Certified Health Coach.

As much as I would like to get those years of my life back, 6 ½ to be exact, I must stop and look at who I am today because of Lyme disease. I had a setback that brought many different people, lifestyle traits and values to my life that I may never have been open to without my diagnosis. It changed me in many ways, but it also shaped me into who I am today.

So now I’m back and I like to think of myself as a healthier, stronger version of my younger self. I define health and strength differently today. It’s not about test scores and exam results, or how far and fast you can run or how much you can lift. It’s a bigger picture. It’s every aspect of your life that brings you to a healthier, stronger version of ourselves. It’s about balance and learning to not only maintain that balance but also having the ability to handle the imbalances.
