You assume lifting weights and building strength will make you look overly bulky, and won't help with weight loss.
You can't make a consistent schedule for fitness and feel resigned to exercising "if I can find time" (which some weeks is never).
You ask others to lift heavy things because you assume you can't (and that if you try, you'll get hurt).
You're too tired to chase after your kids at the park for more than 5 minutes.
You see people jogging and automatically think, "Omg, I could never do that."
You're turned off by personal training because it's expensive, intense and trainers are pushy.
You wake up feeling exhausted, even after a good night's sleep.

Work With Us to Build Your Strength
Denise
Being a female in my mid sixties I wanted to reintroduce fitness to my life. I met Christina through yoga and decided to start training with her. In 12 weeks not only did I gain strength and stability but my confidence has also increased. Her knowledge, experience, and personality inspire me to continue on this journey and become the best version of myself.
Glenn
Christina works with my 82-year-old dad. He has several health conditions and has been reluctant to participate in any exercise programs. She works with him to gain strength, stability, and mobility. Not only does he look forward to their sessions but in just a few sessions she has inspired him to make some positive changes.
MaryAnn
I have been working with Christina for just about six months. In that time I have lost 5% body fat and several inches throughout my body. I feel stronger and have gained confidence in myself. Each session is well planned out and a perfect balance of meeting me where I’m at and knowing where to push me.
Olivia
I’ve been working with Christina for over a year. We started out with private yoga and later moved into personal training as well. I feel stronger, have lost weight, inches, and body fat. I also feel better about myself and my self-esteem is improving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Muscle soreness does not necessarily equate to a good workout. It’s actually better that you don’t always feel sore if you’re consistently working out, because it means your body has built up and adapted to what you're doing. Soreness shouldn’t be used to measure how effective your workout is (or isn't). Instead, focus on other factors such as whether you can lift heavier weights, push through your workout more comfortably, or add extra sets or reps to your session.
Should I expect to feel sore after working out?
While everyone is different, clients generally see initial changes within four to six weeks, and actual, measurable results within eight to 12 weeks.
How long will it take to start seeing results?
A common misconception – especially among women – is that lifting heavy weights will lead to a bulky physique. But the true culprit of bulk is fat accumulation, not building muscle. Excessive body fat is what causes both men and women to look bulky, which is why body fat percentage is important to understand. A fit physique nearly always requires a fairly low body fat percentage, and lifting heavy weights can help accomplish this.
Will I look bulky if I strength train?
It's easy to "out-eat" your exercising. The sweet spot is to workout and eat right for successful weight loss and maintain good health. Weight loss is about calories in versus calories out. If your goal is to lose weight, you should be counting and logging the calories you consume, and the ones you burn, on a daily basis – aiming for a calorie deficit by the end of the day.
If you’re looking to gain mass, the body needs the proper quantity and quality of food. Whatever your fitness goals are, nutrition is a key component, which is why all of my packages include nutrition support.
If I work out consistently, can I eat whatever I want?
Most of us don't need dietary supplements unless we have a documented vitamin deficiency or if we're not consuming a balanced diet. Using supplements as an alternative to a sound diet can lead to deficits of other nutrients. It is healthier and easier for the body to absorb and use the vitamins and minerals in whole foods, as opposed to getting them from a pill. This is why I include nutrition coaching in my packages.
Do I need to take dietary supplements?
One of the biggest exercise myths is that we can lose fat in an area of the body by strength training or exercising that specific body part. The truth is that “spot reducing” doesn't work, simply because we can't dictate from where our bodies will decide to oxidize fat.
However, strength training has been proven to increase your metabolism to burn more calories, which will help you lose weight more quickly if that’s your goal.
Can strength training help me lose fat in specific areas?
While cardiovascular training is great for building strong hearts and lungs, it doesn’t help your body build bigger, stronger muscles. Strength training allows you to target different muscles beyond what you use for a typical cardio workout.
There are many benefits to strength training that can improve your health. It makes you stronger, burns calories efficiently, decreases abdominal fat, can help you appear leaner, lowers risk of injury, improves heart health, helps manage blood sugar levels, increases bone density, boosts mood and self-esteem and improves brain health. That's a lot!
