Hi, I'm Coach Cristina
In case we haven't met, I'm an exercise physiologist, running/triathlon coach and a sports nutritionist that is passionate about helping athletes achieve their goals through science based training and nutrition. I want you to feel your healthiest, train and race injury free, and perform at your best.
Personally:
I'm a wife, mom (2 boys and 2 furbabies), endurance athlete and someone with has learned to manage their love of endurance sports with a genetic hypermobility disorder. Because of my disorder, I have to be exceptionally strong, or my joints will dislocate or sublux. I'm a work in progress, but I have studied my physiology (along with some great doctors) in order to stay strong, which is turn helps me to help athletes do the same.
Education:
I hold both an undergraduate and master's degree in exercise physiology and sports nutrition. I also carry a post graduate diploma from the International Olympic Committee in sports nutrition, and I'm a certified triathlon and running coach. To provide women the best guidance possible, I am also a graduate of Stacy Sim's Women Are Not Small Men Course and her Menopause course.
This strength program has been great. I feel all the muscles working in exactly the right spot that I need! The exercises aren’t too hard, and it doesn’t take me too long. Thanks.
