I have to admit, when I started looking for a personal trainer I was very intimidated by Kristine's profile.... I mean she is obviously at the top of the fitness game! She immediately put those concerns to rest. She ACTUALLY cares about your health, your journey, and is happy to work with you regardless of your current fitness level. She is kind, patient, and personable. She can do it all, from meal planning to a detailed fitness plan. I'm so excited to continue to work with her! Whether you are looking to lose weight, get toned, or change your lifestyle, Kristine is the trainer you should work with!

Kristine is a fantastic coach! It’s my first time working with a personal trainer so I didn’t know what to expect at first but Kristine has exceeded all my expectations! Other than being extremely knowledgeable in her field ( duh she’s a pro bodybuilder!) she is able to strike a perfect balance between creating challenging but doable workouts. She also checks in with me during and after workouts to make sure that I don’t have issues with my knees and back. I highly recommend Kristine to anyone who’s either just starting their fitness journey or fitness enthusiasts who are trying to take their workouts to a whole new level!

Thank you so much, Narine!🙏🏻 It’s been so enjoyable working with you too, and seeing your body change in a very short time. You’re doing all the work both in the gym with me and on your own in the kitchen and extra training, and it really shows! I’m excited to continue working with you and see how much more you will progress💪🏻😁

Started working with Kristine a week ago, she’s been the most positive, punctual and knowledgeable trainer I have worked with. I had a car wreck 12 years ago that paralyzed me and I’ve been lacking motivation and consistency. She has helped rekindle that flame in me to want to get my life back on track.. she’s a very positive and attentive person and always lets me know I can attain anything I put my mind to. She’s a very disciplined person as well she lives what she does.. every session she makes sure I always put my best work in and I like that she check in on me daily to see how my diet is going. I would recommend her to anyone by far the trainer I could have asked for.

Thank you SO much, Jim! It’s been a real pleasure getting to know and help you. I hope we get a long and successful journey together. I honestly believe you will achieve anything you set your mind to, and I will be here helping and holding you accountable.

Kristine is the force of positive change that every fitness beginner or long time enthusiast needs. Her knowledge combined with commitment and passion has guided me through some of the most challenging stages of my physical and mental health journey. The three years I spent with Kristine as my personal trainer, I saw myself transformed towards my best self. I gained over 10KG of overall muscles and learned how to combine training with diet to achieve results. Kristine has instilled in me the knowledge and confidence to navigate the gym without embarrassment or fear. This is the kind of personal trainer that is invested in YOU, not just your money. She pours heart into her clients and you will see results!

I started working with Kristine towards the end of June. Her knowledge surrounding fitness is incredible and her dieting and nutrition coaching is on another level! Nothing like I've ever experienced. Her ability to motivate you and then understand your fitness goals makes the experience! She has been able to get me toward my fitness goals quicker than anyone I have ever trained with. Ultimately, the results come from the work put in by the client. Again, Kristine's direct focus with you in the gym and the fact she takes a lot of pride in getting to know you on a personal level so she understands what you are working towards and motivates accordingly is the reason i will stay with Kristine!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I understand not everyone have the same resources or can commit to a set schedule, times and duration, and so my prices vary based on your needs, but as a rule the more often you can commit the better price you will get. I have access to a gym in Old Town Scottsdale where my clients come, but I'm also available to travel to you within 10 miles for an extra $5 travel fee.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we sit down to talk so I can learn about your exercise & nutrition history, any injuries and/or limitations you may have, availability, and what your goals & expectations are. Based on this information I tailor make personal plans based on your needs. For the first training session I do assessments to see movement patters and where your physical level is at. With this knowledge I know how to better move forward and adjust the training and plans accordingly.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started doing personal training early 2013. Certifications include: * ISSA Personal Fitness Trainer * ISSA Specialist in Fitness Nutrition * ISSA Corrective Exercise Specialist * Crossfit L1 certificate * DWS Fitness Prenatal & Postpartum certificate (in association with ISSA) * Bodyhacks by Smashwerx * Fitness Foundation corse from the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences I started doing bodybuilding competitions in 2014 and have been a member of the IFBB Professional League since 2017. I specialize in strength & conditioning, weight training, bodybuilding, (sports) nutrition & diet planning, assessments & program design, pre-post natal exercise, group fitness, corrective exercise, functional training, metabolic training, and I’m an advocate for wholistic health & wellness.
