"I thought I was training hard - until I met Kristin.

After my first session I realized… I wasn’t even close"

- Olivia VanderTil

YOU ARE TOO BUSY TO WASTE TIME ON WORKOUTS THAT DON'T WORK.

Most people jump straight to extremes — complicated diets, flashy workouts, endless splits — thinking more = better.

Spoiler: it’s not. You don’t have to live in the gym to get results.

With the right approach, you can get the same (or better) results in a fraction of the time.

The hardest part isn’t the workout — it’s trusting that less really can be more.

I’ve trained myself and my clients this way for over 10 years.

You’ll get it after your first session..

Sound Familiar?

  • You don’t have time for 5–6 day programs.

  • You’ve tried “all the things” but still don’t see the results you want.

  • You want to feel strong and look lean without living in the gym.

  • You’re tired of extreme diets and workouts that burn you out.

Let's fix that.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Focused, efficient training that fits your life—and actually works.

  • 12+ years coaching / 40,000 sessions → proven system.

  • No fads. Just simple, efficient training that works.

  • 1–3 people max per session → personal coaching without wasted time.

  • No crowds. No scrolling. No random workouts.

  • No crowds. No scrolling. No random workouts.

The best part? You carry that strength into every part of life. You walk taller. Speak up more. Go after things you used to avoid.

Clients stay with me for years—some since I left my basement gym in 2016. Not because they have to, but because this actually works.

HOW WE TRAIN

No gimmicks. No wasted time. Just purpose-driven strength training.

Here’s the flow:

PERSONAL TRAINING INTAKE QUESTIONS

FAQ's

Is 30 minutes really enough?

Yep. When you train with focus and intensity, 30 minutes of smart, full-body strength work beats an hour of random moves. It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what works. One session in, you’ll see....it’s all you need.

Will I get results training only once or twice per week?

Yes—if you’re training the right way. We focus on high-effort, full-body movements, then let your body recover, adapt, and get stronger. More isn’t better. Better is better.

Can You Help Me Lose Weight?

Yes. My coaching covers fat loss, habit change, and accountability. Every client gets a Nutrition Basics Guide, plus access to deeper nutrition coaching if needed.

What can I do to improve my results?

Training is just one piece. Prioritize recovery, eat real food, focus on protein, hydrate, and get 7+ hours of sleep. Your results happen outside the gym as much as inside it.

How soon should I expect to see results?

Within 2–3 weeks, most clients notice more energy, better mood, and less fatigue. By 6 weeks, you’ll likely feel stronger. Around 12 weeks, many see visible changes and strength milestones.

Is this safe for women who are pregnant?

Yes. Once you’re cleared by your doctor, we’ll adjust for each trimester. Strength training can make pregnancy more comfortable, prepare you for birth, and support postpartum recovery.

Is your workout safe for older, out of shape adults?

Yes, and in many cases, it’s the best option. My slow, controlled lifting, watchful coaching, and specialized equipment make it safe—even with pre-existing injuries. Strength training helps prevent falls, maintain bone density, and keep you independent.

Do we do cardio?

Yes. But not how you might think. You’ll be breathless from sled pushes, ball slams, and high-effort sets. I also recommend walking, biking, or hiking on non-lifting days for heart health and recovery.

Can you help improve my bone denisty?

Absolutely. Lifting with intensity signals your bones to get stronger, making you more resilient and less prone to fractures. You don’t need to wait until you’re “older” to start.

As a woman, will I get bulky?

Short answer: No. Longer answer: Noooooo.
Building huge muscles requires years of extreme training, eating in a surplus, and often performance enhancers. Strength training will give you a leaner, firmer, more athletic body.

Why 2-3 people per session?

It’s efficient and motivating. You get rest while watching others lift (and learning from it), plus the push of working alongside others. I keep pairings compatible so your workout stays your workout.

Can I train if I have an injury?

Usually, yes. Once cleared by a doctor or PT, we work around the injury—not through it. Strength training done right can speed recovery and prevent muscle loss.

Do you train people who want to get huge or compete?

If you’re chasing bodybuilding stages or elite powerlifting numbers, I can get you started. But at some point, I’ll refer you to a competition specialist. Most of my clients want to be strong, lean, athletic, and efficient with their time.

Do I need to feel sore for it to be working?

Nope. Soreness just means your body isn’t used to a movement yet. Once adapted, you might not feel sore...but you’ll still be making progress if you’re getting stronger.

How often should I train?

With my method, 2–3 times per week with rest days in between is ideal. Recovery is where the magic happens. More isn’t better. Better is better.

Do I need to be in shape before I start?

Nope. You start where you are, not where you think you “should” be. We’ll build strength, fitness, and confidence from day one. No warm-up program required.

Do you offer nutrition-only coaching?

Yep. Online or in-person. If you’re not ready for training, we can focus on nutrition habits, fat loss strategies, and accountability first.

What if I have a bad back/knees/shoulders?

We work with your body, not against it. I’ll adapt every exercise so you can train safely and effectively without aggravating old injuries or limitations.

How is this different from CrossFit/OrangeTheory/Pilates/etc.?

No generic classes. No “go until you puke” circuits. No one-size-fits-all programming. No fast reps for time with bad form. Every workout is tailored to your body, goals, and progress - with laser-focused coaching to make sure every rep counts.

Do you train athletes or advanced lifters?

Hell yes. I love training people who think they’ve been training hard. It’s fun to humble them—in a good way. I also train personal trainers and fitness pros. You’ll leave with better form, smarter programming, and more strength than you thought possible.

Do you offer online training?

Yes. I have structured online coaching programs with custom workouts, video demos, and ongoing support. Perfect if you don’t live nearby.

What if I’ve tried everything and nothing works?

Then you’re exactly who I want to work with. My approach blends smart programming, mindset shifts, and habit coaching so you finally see lasting results...without extreme diets or endless cardio.
