My name is Krista Shoptaw and I am a wife, mother to three boys, Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Teacher/Coach. I love to help others transform their lives and conquer goals through fitness! I have worked with clients and class participants from beginners to advanced fitness levels. I believe regular exercise helps you feel happier, gives you more energy and a better outlook on life.
I started my fitness journey in college. I started teaching group fitness while obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Communications. I fell in love with bringing people together for the benefits of working out while having a social aspect as well. I continued to teach group fitness after college while still having a career. Once I became a mom I decided I wanted a career that had more flexibility to it. While teaching group fitness I really loved seeing class participants transform their minds and bodies with classes that were consistent yet challenging and entertaining. This led me to become a personal trainer. Since becoming a personal trainer I have had the opportunity to change my clients lives with personalized and motivating workout programs.
I have been a certified group fitness instructor through AFAA/NASM for 7 years and a certified personal trainer through AFAA/NASM for 4 years.
My training includes:
Schwinn Cycle Mixology, Schwinn Breathy not Breathless, Core Connection, Dynamic Core Training, Everyday Strength for Active Aging, Top Tier Core Conditioning, Dance Fitness, Pilates, Tabata and HIIT
I have completed American Heart CPR and First AID class which included Heart Saver CPR for adults, children and infants.
