About Kristina
I am a driven and down to earth Mama who simply decided to re-write her story. I'm the girl next store who grew up in a small town, met her husband on the school bus and had no idea what she was going to do with her life...I definitely didn't think I'd be running a 7 figure business from my home where I am a mom first! How in the world did that happen? This mama picked herself back up and made a decision to Change Her Life....
​
I think we can all relate when I share that I have been through STRUGGLE the first part of my life...I was really lost. I didn't who I was. You can say I lost confidence in myself. I was a total introvert and although happiness was showing on the outside, on the inside I was a total mess. BUT here is where my story is different...after many years, in one moment I just decided enough was enough. I was tired of being tired. I was ready to OWN my "junk" and decide to LIVE because of it...from that moment on I can honestly say my outlook on life has changed and my mind has been OPEN to opportunities...I knew I wanted to do something GREAT with my life, I just didn't what...
​
I believe opportunities come into our pathway all the time, but do we have the right lenses on to SEE them...
​
SO I followed the two things I did love in life - dance and teaching. This led me to teaching group fitness classes in which I have been doing so for 22 years now! And YES I still love it just as much! I managed a chain of women's fitness clubs for 13 years holding all roles from: recruiting, hiring, training, developing managers, sales, customer service, district managing multiple clubs, grand opening new facilities, hiring and training instructors and personal trainers and eventually being the fitness director for 9 clubs overseeing the group fitness and personal training departments for the entire company! I did not have a degree or credentials for any of these positions...I worked for them!! When an opportunity became available, I raised my hand and went for it. So I'm proud of this but I also BURNED OUT after many years in a toxic, corporate political environment....My passion is in FITNESS and in PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT! I could care less about who is talking about who or who wants my job this week....I just wanted to go to work and love it....but I learned the hard way the corporate world doesn't always work that way....
​
In 2006 a friend pushed me to apply to become a Presenter for Chalene Johnson's Company, Powder Blue Productions. Let's just say THANK GOD to Anne for pushing me to do this bc I would have never done it on my own. For 7 years I recruited, trained and certified over 1000 Instructors to teach her formats: Turbo Kick, PiYo and Hip Hop Hustle!! Another opportunity that built a ton of confidence in me and really taught me that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! I met a whole new circle of people who WERE living their dream....this lit a fire in me, that maybe it was possible for ME to do the same....now to figure out how....
​
My life would forever change on May 31, 2008 when an "opportunity" was given to me to become a Team Beachbody Coach and be apart of a LAUNCHING TEAM "Platinum Presenters"...this is the business that has taken me from Unemployment from my full time job (2010) to a 6 figure income (2011) in less than 24 months....wait let's back up for a moment....
​
First of all - Who is Team Beachbody? The multi-million dollar Fitness Company and Creators of P90X, Insanity, 21 Day Fix, Turbo Fire, PiYo, Core De Force, Shakeology and a ton more. YEA you know who they are now. I was offered an opp to Rep their Products and help people get fit by becoming a "Coach" also known as starting your own fitness business within their company. A business in a box repping BRAND NAME HOT products in fitness?? YES sign me up! Haha but really....how does this all work? I did my research and learned that this wasn't about "selling products", it was about building a T-E-A-M!!! At least if you want long term financial growth...something I could not get in my full time job of 13 yrs or in the industry I was in PERIOD. Build a Team? I can do that!!! Selling - not so much...
​
Let's PAUSE for a moment bc I want to share where I was at when I signed and started my fitness business --- I was working 50 hours a week in downtown chicago. I was STRESSED to the max. I was gaining weight from all the hours worked. I was addicted to coffee bombs. I was unhappy with my job, my career, my decisions and my life. We were living paycheck to paycheck earning good salaries - how does that happen??! We were over $30K in credit card debt and didn't see anyway OUT OF THIS....I wasn't having FUN anymore. I started to give up on my DREAM to do something GREAT with my life...I felt trapped.
​
If you can relate to any of this, then you know why I said YES. I said yes bc I wanted a CHANGE. I wanted to finally lose the last 10lbs. I wanted to surround myself with positive people who WERE going after their dreams. I wanted a challenge. I wanted to help people in fitness and REACH MORE and this was a way to do it. I wanted to get out of stress debt. I wanted my own business without the risk of doing it the traditional way. I wanted to invite my friends to do this with me and PICK MY PLAYERS! I wanted more...
​
Sometimes all you have to do is ASK and tell yourself, I'm ready to make things happen...you will be surprised what falls in your lap...
​
O-P-P-O-R-T-U-N-I-T-I-E-S
​
Today I'm a mom of 2 girls, Brooklyn is 4 and Skylar is 2. I work from home and help women just like me build the Coaching Business of their Dreams. My husband and I have paid off over $30K in credit card debt, we have built our dream home, we have retired my dad and we have started the girls college education plan. THIS IS CRAZY - this is our life! I have lost 50lbs TWICE after both pregnancies using Shakeology and Beachbody Home Workouts. I teach Turbo Kick bc I simply LOVE IT and inspire others to do the same. I have become an expert in mentoring women in what I do - specifically how to build a 6 figure income in Beachbody Coaching.
​
I believe in family first! I believe in building ROCK SOLID RELATIONSHIPS with your people and they will SOAR above you. I believe in fairy tales and happily ever afters...but I also believe in HARD WORK, finding your purpose in your "junk" and going after your DREAMS is in our every day lives. I believe you have to pick yourself back up when you don't want to. I believe YOU are the only person who can motivate you and the ONLY ONE who can "Make It Happen".
​
You have the story...you have the skills...you have the struggle....if you are ready to re-write your story, make an impact to help others, let's start with YOURS.
​
If you are ready to change your fitness or your finances
​
I'm your girl!
Let's Start this Party ALREADY!
Kristina xoxo
