Who We Are

Meet
Chrissy

Hi, I’m Chrissy.

For a long time, I was really good at taking care of everyone else — and not so good at taking care of myself.

I’m a wife, a mom, a lifelong Minnesotan, and a beginner fitness coach. For more than 20 years, I struggled to find a way to truly thrive in my body. At my heaviest, I weighed 366 pounds. Since then, I’ve lost 190 pounds — and gained so much more than weight loss.

I gained strength, confidence, energy, and a better relationship with food and movement. My family gained that strength too. Over the past eight years, we’ve collectively lost more than 400 pounds while learning how to make wellness work through busy schedules, stress, setbacks, and real life.

That’s what I’ve learned: there isn’t one perfect way to be healthy. It’s about finding your flow — a way to make movement, nutrition, and wellness fit into the life you actually live.

That’s what I want to help you find.

As a certified Personal Trainer and Transformation Specialist, I work with women who want to get stronger, feel better, and create sustainable change.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.

Let’s find your flow.

The Story

Our
Transformation Story

A few years ago, my family and I made a decision that changed everything. Together—the three of us—we lost over 400 pounds. Not through quick fixes or crash diets, but through consistent logging, proper nutrition, and sustainable exercise.

This wasn’t just about losing weight. It was about building bodies that are functional TODAY and prepared for our elder years. Lowering your body weight and staying fit isn’t vanity—it’s about being able to play with your grandkids, climb stairs without getting winded, and living independently as you age.

We live this lifestyle every single day. We log our meals. We track our workouts. We make nutritious recipes that actually taste good. And now, we’re sharing that exact lifestyle with our members—the same tools, knowledge, and support system that transformed our lives.

  • Proven Family Transformation
  • Sustainable Lifestyle Approach
  • Functional Fitness for Life
  • Real Tools, Real Results

“You don’t have to be perfect, just committed.”

What We Stand For

Our Values

Come As You Are

There is no fitness level you need to reach before you are allowed in the room. You start where you are, today, and we scale everything to meet you there.

Strength First

We train for what muscle does for you at 45, 55, and 75 — bone density, metabolism, balance, and the confidence to pick up whatever life hands you.

Food Is Not The Enemy

No banned foods, no cleanses, no 1,200-calorie nonsense. We teach you to eat enough of the right things to actually recover and build.

Nobody Does This Alone

The women who succeed here are the ones who get seen every week. That is what the check-ins and the group are for.

How It Works

Four Things, Every Week

Whether you drop into a class or join the full Transform program, the same four pieces are doing the work.

Training

Effective, sustainable workouts for all fitness levels.

Nutrition

Simple guidance to fuel your body and support your goals.

Accountability

Group support & weekly check-ins to keep you on track.

Support

A positive community that lifts you up every step of the way.

Is This You?
