KARIM RAMOS PERSONAL TRAINER, AUTHOR & MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER
As a 262 pound teen, Karim was ridiculed and ashamed, but a family tragedy drove him to finally take control and dedicate himself to a healthier physical, mental, emotional and spiritual existence. At first, he struggled with his transformation, working multiple jobs and sleeping on park benches, but an internship with Russell and Kimora Lee Simmons changed his life forever. Now, Karim is a motivational speaker, educating overweight kids on a way out. Using his own remarkable story as inspiration, he’s pushing countless children to change their lives for the better. Karim is totally convinced that 90% of a workout is what you eat and put in your body. By incorporating Isopure’s Zero Carb Protein Drink & Green Tea into his daily regimen, he’s become a living example of how commitment can lead to transformation.
