Hey there! I'm Kristina Howe, your dedicated personal trainer, certified nutrition coach, and corrective exercise specialist based in the heart of Kettering, OH. My mission is to empower women, especially those who are perimenopausal and menopausal, to achieve their health and fitness goals and live their best lives. Fitness isn't just a job for me; it's my passion and way of life.

My Fitness Journey My love for fitness began early on. Growing up, I was always active, playing multiple sports and enjoying the thrill of competition. This early passion evolved into a lifelong commitment to health and wellness. Over the years, I've dedicated myself to learning and growing in the fitness industry, turning my passion into a fulfilling career where I can share my knowledge and enthusiasm with others.

My Coaching Approach I believe that fitness goes beyond aesthetics; it's about feeling good and maintaining a healthy body and mind. My approach is holistic, focusing on your overall well-being. Here's what you can expect:

• Personalized Plans: We’ll develop a customized plan tailored to your unique needs and goals, including exercise routines, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle changes. This plan will consider your current fitness level, any health conditions, and your specific objectives, whether it's weight loss, muscle gain, or improved overall health.

• Variety in Workouts: I use a mix of training methods such as strength training, cardio, HIIT, yoga, and Pilates to keep workouts fun, engaging, and challenging. This variety ensures that your body is constantly adapting and improving while preventing workout boredom.

• Ongoing Support: I’m here to provide consistent support and guidance through regular check-ins, progress tracking, and adjustments to your plan as needed. This includes motivational coaching, answering any questions you may have, and providing tips to help you stay on track and overcome obstacles.

Specializations I’ve had the pleasure of working with women of all ages and fitness levels. Here are some areas I specialize in:

• Weight Loss: Helping you shed those extra pounds through personalized, effective strategies that include a combination of exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. We'll focus on sustainable practices to ensure long-term success.

• Strength Training: Building muscle and increasing strength for a more toned and powerful physique. My programs include weight lifting, resistance training, and bodyweight exercises to help you achieve your goals.

• Balance Improvement: Enhancing your stability and coordination for better overall functionality. This can include exercises that improve core strength, proprioception, and flexibility to help you move with confidence.

• Endurance Enhancement: Boosting your stamina to keep you energized and active throughout the day. This includes cardiovascular training, interval training, and endurance-based exercises to improve your overall fitness.

• Corrective Exercise: Personal assessments to help you learn to exercise pain-free. This involves identifying and addressing muscular imbalances, postural issues, and movement dysfunctions to ensure safe and effective workouts.

Training and Coaching Options I offer flexible training and coaching options to fit your lifestyle:

• In-Person Sessions: Hands-on training at a convenient location, providing personalized attention and motivation. These sessions allow for real-time feedback and adjustments to your form and technique, ensuring you get the most out of each workout.

• Online Coaching: Virtual sessions that offer flexibility, allowing you to train from the comfort of your home or anywhere else. We'll use video calls, apps, and other online tools to create a comprehensive and interactive training experience. You'll receive personalized workout plans, nutritional guidance, and continuous support, just as you would with in-person training.

A Little About Me When I'm not working with clients, I love immersing myself in activities that bring me joy and balance. You might find me hiking through beautiful trails, catching up on my favorite TV shows, listening to thought-provoking podcasts, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. These hobbies keep me grounded and energized, just like I hope fitness will do for you.
