He has over 12 years of experience in the fitness industry as a trainer and strength coach, as well as experience leading fitness programs at Stanford University and private fitness corporations.

Growing up, Kristin swam competitively and played competitive softball. Her journey to strength and conditioning started when she decided to not pursue sports within college. Instead, she did strength and conditioning for a variety of collegiate athletes. This led her to specialize in sports performance and eventually acquire her NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach certificate.

After moving back to the Bay Area, she's worked with a variety of clients ranging from high school to over 80 years old. She's found that her background transfers well to functional fitness as she aligns work done in the gym to daily activities enjoyed by her clients. Her training style emphasizes learning because she wants her clients to understand why each exercise is important to them and their goals.

Beyond the gym, Kristin is currently pursuing her Master's in Exercise Physiology and in her free time enjoys exploring new places and activities. Her favorite activities currently revolve around the circus arts particularly those in the air and those with fire!

Jon is from San Jose, CA and has always considered himself an athlete. After playing soccer at West Valley College he began working at Stanford University as a personal trainer. Jon went on to pursue a Masters degree in Kinesiology, multiple certifications and now has over 7 years of experience. When it comes to his training philosophy, he likes taking a strength approach. In his experience, when clients focus on getting stronger and increasing muscle mass, other aspects of their fitness journey fall into place. Helping the general population find their confidence through this type of exercise is truly rewarding. Outside of the gym, he enjoys spending time with his wife and dog wherever that may be. He makes sure there’s always a travel vacation booked or being planned for the future.
