Fitness Biography- 2013
Hello, my name is Kristina, however, most people call me Kris. I was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. I grew up studying music from a very young age, which I have forever had a passion for. But I have also developed a passion for fitness and health since my high school years. I've studied, participated and shared music, fitness and health ever since.
My first experience with organized fitness was back in 1987, when I was a participant in group fitness classes. I was determined to lose some of the high school weight I put on and gain strength. Realizing how enjoyable it was to help myself and inspire others to relive their health and fitness goals, over the years I became certified by the following certifiying bodies in the following fitness fields:
SPRA Group Fitness Leader since 1992
Can Fit Pro Personal Training Specialist and Group Training since 2002
Can Fit Pro Nutrition and Wellness Specialist since 2008
Stott Pilates Mat Instructor since 2011
TRX Suspension Instructor since April, 2013
Fitness Kickbox Canada Instructor since May 2013
POUND® Pro since March 2019
I have been actively instructing group fitness classes since 1992, and have taught group training and conducted one-on-one personal training to women and men since 2002. I instruct a variety of fitness classes, such as: Circuit/Interval Training, Hi./Low, Bootcamp, Strength, Bodyweight Conditioning, Cycling, Fitness Kickboxing, and Pilates Mat. I've worked with participants of various fitness levels with differing fitness/health goals and worked with age groups from 18-70. I strive to learn about each participant and become aware of their strengths and limitations. But my ulitmate goal is to motivate participants and give an enjoyable class that is fun and safe for everyone! There is no better feeling than knowing I've helped someone in a positive way by seeing their sweaty, smiley faces:-)
I'm proud to say I've registered my own business in 2011, which I call "Hybrid Fit & Wellness". My home base is at a fitness club called California Fitness, where I instruct group fitness, group training, and conduct personal training. However, I do travel on occasion to clients’ homes and instruct group fitness classes at other facilities around the city.
I love to travel and meet new people. Having the opportunity to instruct fitness classes around the world would be a fantastic life experience
