ACSM Exercise Physiologist and head coach

Hi, I’m Kristina, founder and exercise physiologist. I am a life-long learner. I don’t follow the latest fads; I follow the latest research.

I believe we all wish to move more, but life gets in the way. It’s not just about getting a workout in (I don’t like that term anyway), it’s about using our bodies the way humans were made. Be barefoot more, walk on uneven ground, hang from things, lift things off the ground, break from repetitive motion and sedentary living…your body will thank you. Will I make you say goodbye to your shoes and hang from a tree-limb? No. But, I do take a step back to have you master foundational movement.

To give you a glimpse of where I’ve been professionally, I have worked with people from many backgrounds as a fitness specialist, corporate fitness manager and fitness director for a YMCA. I also taught Human Biology and Anatomy Physiology for 10 years at DeSales University and Exercise Science at County College of Morris.

It is a big decision to hire a personal trainer. Do your research because we are not all educated and experienced equally.

When I’m not teaching or training, I am with my favorite people, my husband and two boys.
