The Best Year of Your Life

Hi! I'm Kristen, owner and creator of  KLivFit, and I want to be your coach. I’d like the chance to help you change your fitness forever, for real. Change so real that you are never the same as you are now. You’re better. Here’s my story and why I can help you.

Making a difference for someone else caught my attention as a youthful 19-year-old. I had known what it felt like to want to be more fit from my high school sport days. I knew what kind of work was necessary after training myself so I could get off the bench and play. Effort that resulted in accomplishing my goal was personally satisfying. But what I saw this time was different. I was watching someone see themselves differently, actually be different, because of how we had worked together. That interaction started a trajectory for my life even before I knew it. I suppose like most things for teenagers, working in fitness started selfishly for me; I wanted to stay in good shape and make a few bucks. But it became much more.

Over the last 27 years, I’ve seen lots of people change, strengthen, lose weight, improve performance and feel more confident. I’ve been in front of thousands of group fitness participants pushing their limits and loving it. I’ve had hundreds of private conversations, laying out plans for improving habits and behaviors. I’ve had the ultimate privilege of loving my job, every day, doing every job imaginable in fitness and actually surviving in a profession that is often just a side gig.

What started as a part-time college job teaching aerobics at a YMCA, turned into a career built on helping people. Along the way, I’ve earned a master’s degree in exercise science, published research on exercise adherence and managed fitness departments. I instructed college classes, presented on fitness videos and at industry conferences. I’ve created international group fitness programs, coached countless classes and clients, and launched my own company, KLivFit. When looking back over my timeline, my career in fitness has been life-changing, most especially for me.

Like most professionals in my industry, I want KLivFit to be a valid and reliable source for improving lives. However, there are lots of emotive schemes in fitness that make it difficult to discern the truth from fantasy. You know the ones I’m referring to…the secret-formula weight loss pills, the 5-minute gut-buster workouts that give you a six-pack in 2 weeks or the delicious and nutritious chocolate shakes that practically melt fat away, etc., etc. At times, I’ve felt the slippery slope beneath my own feet. Should I time my feedings and weigh every ounce of food? Should I do slow and low cardio or WOD’s? Do I eat carbs or fat or neither or both? Do I only lift weights and never touch a bike again? Do I only do HIIT sprints for 20 minutes? What if I don’t want to drink a green smoothie every day? And what if I can’t sleep? Do I supplement? Do I do more yoga, but not at night or only at night? The daily attempts to be our best healthy selves can be full of overwhelm, frustration and intermittent results.

This dissatisfaction with our efforts to better ourselves is universal with most American adults. My years of leading exercise programs has provided moments of authentic joy and contentment with how well we can move. But the inconsistency of lasting improvement has kept me pushing toward new programming, new training, new certifications, and finally, an expanding career path.

Collaboration with industry leaders has always increased my influence to broader audiences. Companies like TRX, Lululemon, Lifetime Fitness, Juice Plus, Power Music, and now, Precision Nutrition.

This newest partnership expands my ability to coach nutrition and exercise habits from a broad yet very personal platform, and I couldn’t be more motivated to move forward. I hope you’ll come with me and here’s why:

  1. Nutrition and exercise coaching makes good habits easy to practice and keep.
  2. Coaching creates accountability through manageable and practical steps.
  3. Strength, energy, stamina and physical satisfaction are the result of coaching.
  4. Together, we will accomplish every habit, every workout, every day.

Watch how coaching has helped people just like you make a healthy life their reality:

In addition to what Precision Nutrition and I walk you through, this is what a few of my clients experience through our work:

I have been working with KLivFit for several years. During that time my health, strength and nutrition have improved significantly. Kristen is my trusted coach who provides the information, motivation, support and guidance to improve my health, mentally and physically. Kristen leads by example so following her guidance becomes contagious! Living healthy is not rocket science. However, it can be a challenge for most, including me. KLivFit provides all the tools and support needed to help change your life forever! ROB
 

Working with Kristen the last 3 years has taught me strength, stability and flexibility. Training with her has taken my fitness to the next level and I work harder than I ever have with her encouragement and support! JENNY
 

I absolutely love training with Kristen! Every time I walk away from my work out, I feel not only stronger in my body, but also more empowered to be a stronger, better person. Kristen is always so positive and she helps you to believe in yourself and what your body is capable of. When working out with Kristen, I definitely push past any limitation that I have ever set for myself. I wish I could have her push me and encourage me everyday. Believe that you are worth it and treat yourself to working with Kristen! JANNA
 

Working with Kristen has helped me to find my confidence in my mind and body. She focuses on overall well-being from the inside out, and continues to push me to put my best foot forward and become healthier. I am continually surprised at how my mind plays a major role in what my body can do. ROGER


So how will you know if this year will be any different than what you’ve done before?

Because you’re reading this and have already decided you need change. First though, understand something: This work is NOT for everyone. You ARE going to have to put effort in. You may or may not be an ideal fit. Our initial conversation will confirm this one way or the other. I can only work with clients who clearly demonstrate the willingness to change, because, let’s face it, half-hearted efforts get half of the results. Neither of us want that. If you are not all in, you will not have success.

So, here’s what I’m going to provide you:

  • A nutrition and exercise plan that fits into your life (no crazy diets or ridiculous exercises that NEVER work)
  • Support from a huge community of people just like you
  • A program backed by science, not fads
  • Software designed to instill powerful new habits – one small step at a time.

All of this allows me to be there for you 24/7, using some of the most advanced software you’ve ever seen. (Translation: It's actually easy to use!)

Everything I coach you through is backed by a powerful curriculum tailored to your needs. Yes, it’s called a curriculum. Every coach needs a playbook. I have mine. At the end of the day though…it all comes back to being held accountable and being willing to change. I am a Precision Nutrition ProCoach. I am part of the most successful weight management program in the world! Bar none.
