Christina’s BIO.

She/hER

I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with 10 years of experience and a professional dancer. Most of my clients are women over 30 who want to build a stronger body and the healthy habits to keep it.

New clients come to me with different goals: building lean muscle, losing body fat, recovering from injury, becoming more athletic, or simply having more energy. Whatever brings you in, my ultimate goal is the same: to improve the quality of your body and your life.

My approach is both scientific and holistic. My dance background and certification in assisted stretching let me weave mobility, balance, and coordination into every program, and my training as a Pain-Free Performance Specialist helps clients work around injuries and build strength safely. Most clients feel stronger and leaner within 6–8 weeks.

One client lost 25 lbs and 10% body fat training just twice a week, without extreme dieting. Limited mobility used to keep her from doing pull-ups and barbell squats. Now she does both, and she’s noticed more strength and stamina on the ski slopes too.

I check in with every client weekly and set short-term goals along the way, so progress stays visible and motivation stays high. I bring accountability, structure, and fun, so the process feels less like pressure and more like progress.

Along the way, clients build a better relationship with food and start moving more outside our sessions. Their results last because they’ve built a lifestyle they actually enjoy.

TESTIMONIALS.

I started working with Christina after two previous trainers, and things really started to click with her 360 perspective- Christina will help you not just set your goals, but understand the why behind them, and support you along the long game journey towards them. She's tough but leads with empathy, which helps me get the best out of our sessions. 

Before training, I thought a pullup and pushups were out of the question, and was a barbell skeptic. After working with Christina I've got not just the metrics and the body definition to show for it, but the confidence and habits to feel excited about making training part of my life long wellness journey.

I've been training with Christina since early 2024 (when I was one year postpartum) and she has completely transformed my approach to fitness. My goal was simply to feel stronger and more fit, and she has helped me surpass my own expectations. Not only have I lost over 15 pounds, Christina has taught me so much about nutrition and strength training. Her expertise and encouragement make even the toughest workouts feel achievable.

I have been training with Christina since 2019. She is the ultimate SF Queen!!!! She has really transformed my body. I notice a huge difference in my whole body, especially my back & arm area. She has the utmost patience with me, who really cares about her clients. Christina not only works on your body. It is everything. Your mind, body & soul. I could not imagine where I would be without her.

Christina has been my trainer for several years… she is the absolute BEST!! In the first 6 months alone I lost over 30 pounds! Several of my friends train with her too now.

She put me on a fully personalized nutrition and strength training plan and it worked for me… She is an expert at understanding where you’re at today and what’s holding you back, then building a plan to get results. Also… It’s not just that she helped me with losing fat and looking better, but she helps you be a more disciplined version of yourself.
