About CEO

there I was, staring down my 30th birthday, carrying an extra 75 pounds and watching my athletic glory days fade in the rearview mirror. Like so many others, I’d thrown myself into the maze of quick-fix diets and brutal workout plans that never stuck. But something inside me refused to give up.

Then I did something crazy. Instead of another fad diet, I tried out for the New York Sharks Women’s full-tackle football team. Not only did I make it, but by 2013, I found myself wearing the red, white, and blue for Team USA. Talk about a comeback story!
That journey taught me something powerful: transformation isn’t about quick fixes – it’s about showing up for yourself, day after day. After hanging up my cleats while still on top, I knew I had to help others find their own path to greatness. I dove headfirst into becoming a personal trainer, racking up certifications from the American College of Sports Medicine, the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and the American Council on Exercise. I even earned my bachelor’s in Health and Wellness with a minor in Health Psychology from Ashford University.
But here’s the real truth: my story isn’t special because I lost weight or earned certificates. It’s special because I discovered what we’re all capable of when we believe in ourselves. Now, I’m here to help you write your own transformation story. Whether you want to walk, run, or tackle life head-on, I’ll be right there with you. Because the most powerful change doesn’t start with a diet or a workout plan – it starts with believing in yourself enough to take that first step.
Your journey is uniquely yours. And I can’t wait to help you discover just how far you can go.

What Did They Witness At Our Gym?

Kristine has trained my son, who is on the spectrum, and me for a number of years. She has an extraordinary ability to tailor the workout programs to our very different needs. Kristine is very attuned to our objectives and knowledgeable about the exercises needed to accomplish them. She is at once disciplined and unfailingly encouraging and positive. We’ve gotten great results and had a lot fun. I highly recommend training with Kristine.

We started training with Kristine at the JCC many ago. Since the pandemic we’ve taken weekly Zoom classes with her. Kristine’s humor, great taste in music, expertise and variety makes the workouts challenging and fun! Her workouts have become an integral part of our lives.

-Jeff & Cindy

I’ve been working with Kristine, in personal training and in classes, since 2005. I truly enjoy working with her. I’ve benefited from our program together, doing strength, balance, and more, as she helps keep my 66-year old body in good condition. I’d recommend her enthusiastically to anyone.
For someone who needs a professional to work with a special needs client, a teen, or an older adult, I’d especially endorse her, but more on that later.
She’s always fun, motivational, and really a delight to work with. She’s creative and keeps the sessions fresh, which might be why her classes at the gym (spin, aqua, boot camp) filled up so quickly. People know they’ll get a great workout and have a great time.
Kristine is always on time, and she’s an excellent communicator. We talk about the new things she’s learning to bring more to our sessions, so I know she’s committed to continually being better. We’ve worked together even when I was doing physical therapy.
Kristine has the knowledge, and much more importantly, the patience and compassion, to work with people who aren’t 30 years old and fit. I’m a woman of a certain age, as they say, and I feel I’m in good hands with Kristine.
Ten years together has shown me that Kristine has the empathy to help a kid with special needs, a teen who’s got other stuff going on, or a senior who needs a different pace.
Yeah, she’s peppy and jumps around and even giggles a bit, but I’ve also witnessed her deep compassion for others. She has supported others in hard ways, which makes me think she’s the right choice if you’re trying to help someone who needs a little more than most.
With this note, I hope I’m helping Kristine and also that I’m helping whoever is reading this. I think Kristine is delightful, talented, and special, so I give you my heartfelt recommendation to work with her.
