Christina has been personal training for 7 years and is currently an NPC Bodybuilder, competing at the national level in the bikini division!
Fitness has always been my passion and I have been active all my life playing sports. I played volleyball, basketball and softball all though grade school, high school and 2 years at a Junior College. I still play in leagues today.
When introduced to Justin and the opportunity to become a personal trainer, I had to say yes. This was a great opportunity to take my passion for fitness and health to the next level. I've learned so much about proper form and technique when it comes to weight training, strength training, functional movement. I want to help inspire and motivate others in meeting their fitness goals. Whether you are looking to lose weight, get toned or gain muscle mass, together we will get you there. Certified through PT Global and ASFA. Christina also has a Bachelors degree from Depaul University
When I became a trainer my goal was to show the world how to workout. Very soon after starting my career, I realized it was very hard for clients to push as hard as they wanted. So many people now live a sedentary lifestyle and most may not even realize it. We are bogged down with aches, pains, past and new injuries that creates poor movement patterns that prevent us from working out correctly. Having had 3 knee surgeries and a broken ankle before I was 24, I understand the frustration and difficulties many clients face. That is why I have become a firm believer in corrective exercise and re-balancing the body before starting a workout program. You can beat yourself up in every work out each day, or you can build a balanced body that works for you and maximizes your potential.

I am an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer with nearly ten years experience in the fitness industry. My resume includes personal training, group training and studio management. I don’t just develop fitness programs; I work with clients to reset their mindset about exercise, nutrition, and overall well-being.
I specialize in individualized program design. I know that cookie cutter; one size fits all programs rarely achieve results. Every individual is unique, with their own needs, challenges, aspirations, and priorities. I strongly believe that a fit, healthy lifestyle can be obtained by anyone. My goal is to help clients understand what that means to them, and how to integrate it into their lives for results that last a lifetime.
