Lucy O, 37, skier: from "no way" to pull-ups
Before training, I thought a pull-up and push-ups were out of the question. I was a barbell skeptic. After working with Christina I've got the metrics and the body definition to show for it, plus the confidence and habits to make training part of my lifelong wellness journey.
Nicole K, 36, mom: −15 lbs postpartum
I've been training with Christina since early 2024, when I was one year postpartum, and she has completely transformed my approach to fitness. Not only have I lost over 15 pounds, Christina has taught me so much about nutrition and strength training.
Michele N, 55, active professional: training together since 2019
She has really transformed my body. I notice a huge difference, especially in my back and arms. Christina not only works on your body. It is everything: your mind, body and soul.
Cooper W, 31, hybrid athlete: −30 lbs in 6 months
In the first 6 months alone I lost over 30 pounds! She put me on a fully personalized nutrition and strength plan and it worked. She helps you be a more disciplined version of yourself.

Meet Christina.
I'm a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with 10 years of experience and a professional samba dancer. Most of my clients are men and women over 30 who want to build a stronger body and the healthy practices to keep it.
My approach is both scientific and holistic. My dance background and assisted stretching certification let me weave mobility, balance and coordination into every program, and as a Pain-Free Performance Specialist I help clients work around injuries and build strength safely. Most clients feel stronger and leaner within 6–8 weeks.
I check in with every client weekly and set short-term goals, so progress stays visible and motivation stays high. I coach in English and Spanish.
How it works
Step 1: Book a consultation. We talk through your goals, history and schedule, and see if we're a good fit.
Step 2: Get assessed and get a plan. A movement assessment finds imbalances, then I build your custom strength and nutrition program.
Step 3: Train with weekly check-ins. Short-term goals keep progress visible, with accountability, structure and fun.
