Kristin Pampeyan

Bay Area raised and now returned, Kristin brings a powerhouse combination of academic excellence and real-world coaching experience to everything she does. Armed with a Master's degree in Exercise Physiology and a background rooted in sports performance, strength training, and functional fitness, she has spent her career helping people move better, get stronger, and build lasting health.

Kristin's journey began at UC Santa Barbara, where she worked with collegiate athletes, designing individualized strength and conditioning programs aimed at maximizing performance and minimizing injury risk. Kristin's passion for strength and conditioning took off, and she hasn't stopped learning since, continuously expanding her expertise across sports performance, functional fitness, and long-term health. Since returning to the Bay Area, Kristin has worked with an impressively wide range of clients — from high school athletes pushing their limits to adults in their 80s discovering what their bodies are still capable of. Her coaching style is grounded in safe, effective technique and programming specific to the individual. She's a big believer in teaching the why behind the work, so clients walk out of every session feeling not just stronger, but confident and informed.

For Kristin, health extends well beyond the gym. She's passionate about helping clients build sustainable lifestyle habits that support both physical and mental well-being — making fitness accessible, effective, and genuinely enjoyable for the long haul.

When she’s not coaching, you’ll likely find Kristin near the water—snorkeling or diving her way through a new destination, or trying out a new activity just for the challenge of it. Back on land, she keeps life interesting with gardening, line dancing, art, and yes—the circus.
