MEET YOUR TRAINER

My name is Christine and I’m here to help you get in the best shape of your life. I have been an athlete most of my life, most notably a competitive runner. I have participated in a number of sports as well as coached, managed and been an officiant. My passion for fitness and healthy lifestyles has come naturally to me. I know that is not the case for many folks and that detail has not been missed on me. Approximately 16 years ago, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. After endless hours of research and speaking to professionals, I decided that I would not take medication for MS and that I would approach it from a holistic standpoint. I began to run again and I pursued my personal training certification. I changed my overall lifestyle and switched careers. I have some challenges as a result of MS but for the most part have successfully maintained my health.

I became a certified personal trainer and AX Kicker to offer the gift of change through fitness, wellness and community. My motivational style has been developed through years of training and being fortunate enough to have outstanding coaches influence my life. I believe in functional and sustainable fitness. I have a traditional, athletic, grassroots approach to training. I believe that fitness is a lifestyle and looks different on everyone. I also feel that fitness should be accessible to everyone in a safe and inclusive environment.  When people sweat together, they accomplish goals together and they become a community. I created that community and I am damn proud of it!

I developed the AX Fitness program in 2011 and designed AX to offer a total body workout that increases functional strength, cardio capacity, muscular endurance, and metabolic rate. My training utilizes MAX interval training by creatively implementing a variety of body weight, HIIT and tabata style exercises. Workouts change each week, so that your body doesn't plateau and you continue to see and feel results. I have worked with a wide range of individuals from high school and college athletes to senior fitness classes and everyone in between. If you want to see serious results and have fun, my unique programs can benefit your body in ways that you have never experienced before.
