Meet Karina - Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist Based in North Vancouver

Raised on the North Shore of Vancouver, Canada, Karina Stampfli embodies the balance between city life and the outdoors. With the mountains glowing along the skyline, the Pacific Ocean at her fingertips, and forest trails woven into everyday life, movement has always been more than exercise — it’s been a way of living.

​

Before becoming a corrective exercise specialist and personal trainer in North Vancouver, Karina worked in the corporate world. She understands firsthand the demands of fast-paced careers, long hours, and increasingly sedentary lifestyles in the tech age. That experience shaped her philosophy: sustainable health must fit into real life — not compete with it.

​

With over 15 years in the fitness, health, and wellness industry, and as the founder of Compass Lifestyle + Fitness, Karina specializes in corrective exercise, mobility coaching, and functional strength training. She helps clients correct kinetic chain imbalances, and improve movement quality.  As the creator of the YOURLIFE workbook, she also coaches clients to build lasting lifestyle habits that support emotional, physical, and nutritional wellbeing.

​

Her approach bridges biomechanics and mindset — combining structured movement assessment, nervous system awareness, habit formation, and lifestyle alignment. Clients don’t just get stronger; they learn how to move better, recover smarter, and create sustainable transformation from the inside out.

​

For Karina, time in nature remains a grounding force — a reminder that the body is designed to move, adapt, and thrive. That philosophy flows into every program she builds.

​

Because true health isn’t temporary. It’s a lifestyle.
