Carna Coaching

What is Carna?

Carna shares its name with the Roman goddess of health, who watched over the heart and the body's vital organs. Helping people build that kind of health and strength is the work we do every day.

Today, Carna is a fitness and nutrition coaching platform built on structured training, personalized nutrition and coach-led accountability.

Each coaching plan is built around the client's goals, schedule and training history, then reviewed and adjusted every week based on their progress.

Clients work with Carna through 1:1 online coaching, coach-led group challenges, in-person training in Roanoke and self-paced on-demand programs.

Founder and Coach

Cameron Decker

Coaching since 2018 2x classic physique competitor Computer science background Former national level roller skater

“Do what is hard and your life will become easy.”

More about CameronShow less

Cameron started lifting at 130 pounds. He'd been an athlete his whole life, including competing as a national level roller skater as a kid, but he wasn't strong. He started lifting to change his life and to challenge himself mentally as much as physically.

He's competed twice in classic physique bodybuilding, and he's been coaching since 2018.

His computer science background shapes how he coaches. He looks at your data every week, finds the pattern, and adjusts your plan based on what your numbers show.

Away from coaching, he's into coding, AI, anatomy, psychology, philosophy and physics.

Coach and Challenge Lead

Alli Graham

4 powerlifting meets Leads Carna's group challenges Working toward her master's degree

“The hard part isn't getting your body in shape. The hard part is getting your mind in shape.”

More about AlliShow less

Alli started with Beachbody workouts at home. She hated exercise, felt frustrated, and only wanted to be smaller.

Lifting changed how she saw training. She found powerlifting, went on to compete in four meets, and started training to get stronger.

Alli has also worked with coaches who didn't listen to her when she was injured, so she coaches by listening first and building your plan around where you're at.

Today she coaches lifting and nutrition, leads Carna's group challenges, and helps clients build strength and confidence in the gym. When she's not coaching, she's probably hanging out with her two cats.

From their weekly check-ins

Copied word for word and shared without names.

Weekly check-in

I’m surprised I’ve stayed consistent this long tbh. I guess I’m FINALLY on a routine that works. Even when work is a mess and throws my workout days off, I still can make it to the gym even if the days are different. Old me would let any minor inconvenience cancel the gym all together

Weekly check-in

I’m getting excited to work out and meal prep. I’m to the point where I’m not just guessing

Weekly check-in

I stuck to a workout plan for the first time ever.
