Moose Power Fitness

long overdue review on my coach, kristina. my wife and i have been seeing her in our home for about a year now, and while i was hesitant to get a trainer (i’ve also worked out on my own), i haven’t regretted it since. she is not your typical trainer only focused on workouts — she cares about your eating habits, your water consumption, and your wellness. she checks in between workouts to keep us on our toes. she’s introduced us to healthy living habits, natural remedies to combat illness and ailments, and encouraged us generally to live a more healthy and balanced life. but first and foremost she is our trainer and she has developed a fitness program tailor-​made for us, that works for us, because not all programs work for everyone. she knows when to push and when to go a little easier, and because of her keen awareness of our needs we have continued to see her consecutively for the last 52 weeks.
if that all weren’t enough, when we sometimes work out in the park and bring our 3 y. o daughter, she even helps keep her busy and happy so we can work out!

Kristina is the best! She’s attentive, both inside and out of the gym, reliable, and really tries to understand your needs. She’s been training both my wife and I since before our wedding a year ago, and we’ve had a great experience!

Kristina is an awesome trainer. I am a couch potato, and she can get me up and moving. She is super responsive, and will modify your workout based on feedback and results. Since I started working out more regularly, I’ve noticed my neck and back pain improve. My husband and I are so pleased to be working with her!

Before I started training with Kristina I mainly stuck to cardio exercises, I didn’t know anything about strength training or proper form. I had also accepted my consistent back pain as part of life and was often tense from sitting and working on a computer long hours during the week. Kristina was great at modifying my workouts to build up my back strength and provided me with tools and stretches that I continue to use daily to keep back pain and tension away.
Kristina loves and lives a healthy lifestyle and is away open to discuss ways to benefit your health even outside of the great workouts she is providing. During my twice weekly workouts we often talk about life, recipes and other natural remedies for health. She is what a great coach should be – friendly, motivating, compassionate, and flexible.

Kristina is everything you could want in a trainer! She is so encouraging, personable, knowledgeable, consistent, and non-​judgmental. That last one is huge for my husband and me, as we both tend to be slackers and need someone to support and encourage rather than lecture when we feel like sloths!
Also importantly for me, Kristina focuses on health of the whole person, not just «blasting your guns!» as some people like to do. I have chronic back pain and issues with carpal tunnel in my wrists, and she is constantly aware of these issues, checking in, and offering alternative exercises to adjust to my needs. She’s also a great health educator, and has tons of advice on well-​balanced eating, nutrition, and rest.
My husband and I started doing couples training sessions with Kristina a few months before our wedding. I met my «toning up and slimming down» goals, and honestly, never felt healthier in my life than those months before my wedding, all thanks to Kristina’s training!

As an anniversary gift, my spouse gave me three-​personal training sessions with Kristina. Kristina took the time to discuss my goals before we met up for our first session. Each session was great. They built upon each other.
I am an active person, but I needed help getting on track and addressing my healing process and maintenance of my body postpartum. She helped me focus on the core activities that I need to be doing to move in a positive direction (without making my umbilical hernia worse). Kristina was amazing to work with. She has a straight forward direct approach. I was able to tell her what I wanted to accomplish and learn and she was able to guide me. She emphasized that whole body wellness is something that needs constant maintenance, it cannot just be fixed as a one time problem. She is motivational. I highly recommend her!

I can not say enough great things about Kristina, nor could I give her a higher recommendation.
I absolutely HATE working out. Hate it! However, once my husband and I started going to her 2 – 3 times a week and quickly saw results, I was hooked! She is knowledgable, über-​friendly, and very passionate about her training.
Whether you choose to do the group fitness classes she has around the city or book her for private sessions, you will see results and enjoy your time there!

I trained with Kristina for about 2 months earlier this year. She was extremely aware of my body and what I was feeling each session. She has an extensive knowledge base and experience working with a variety of conditions. After about 1 month I noticed improvements in my upper body and core strength and I was able to perform exercises/​drills with less difficulty compared to the initial session. Unfortunately my time with her was cut short due to temporary relocation to another state, but I would have loved to continue on with her kicking my butt! You will not be disappointed because she knows exactly how to tailor her regimen to each client. I highly recommend her and her contagious smile!

I LOVE Kristina! She is so careful with your body to make sure alignment is good; exertion is powerful but not too much. She’s really pro at what she does and listens to her clients about what they need. She’s also just REALLY nice! I love her workouts and have been a loyal fan for years. She’s the best!

My husband and I started training with Kristina after we moved to San Francisco, and found with commutes/​new roles we were struggling to get regular exercise in. Kristina has been great at getting us ‘back on track’ with an exercise régime and pushing us to try things we would not previously have done. If you are looking for a motivational personal trainer, with an incredibly disposition, Kristina is your person.

Kristina is amazing. She is so motivating. So many mornings I can’t believe I’ve even made it out of bed, and then an hour later I’ve run up and down hills, worked out my upper body, and done a gazillion squats. She just doesn’t take no for an answer! I’ve seen a significant change in my fitness level and my pants are looser too. Hurray!

Kristina is phenomenal. She is the complete package: knowledgable, creative, thorough and committed. She takes a holistic approach to fitness, taking good care to understand the abilities and/​or limitations of your body, your nutrition habits and your fitness goals.
I worked with Kristina for about nine months before I moved out of the city. As a full-​time working mom, I was looking for challenging workouts that would keep me fit, but would also fit into a busy schedule. Kristina was a true partner in my quest for fitness. She ensured that every minute we spent together was maximized with outstanding workouts, and she was great at helping me stay committed to keeping fitness in my life despite the tug of a busy schedule.
I’m so grateful for Kristina’s fitness mentorship. She’s an inspiration.

Kristina has been training my wife and I for about six months now. We met her when she subbed for an exercise class that we had been taking regularly. Needless to say, she kicked our butts during that class and we have been training with her ever since. She is great at pushing us to our limits while also being accomodating (my wife was pregnant for three of the months we have trained with her). She is very flexible with her schedule and has so much to offer besides the actual fitness component, such as guidance on nutrition, injury prevention and general wellness. She is very thoughtful and always has her clients top of mind, texting and emailing ideas and advice during the week so that we can be healthy and happy. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is the best! Thanks Kristina!

I’ve been working with Kristina for years. She is an extremely dedicated trainer who really goes above and beyond to work with your level of fitness. She worked with me to help me get in shape for some races, and worked with me after I had surgery to get my strength back. She has also been extremely helpful with nutritional coaching as she takes a holistic approach and encourages exercise as well as healthy eating. I highly recommend her to you and your friends!

I handed Kristina what I thought might be an impossible task: get me in shape to climb Mt. Rainier!
She did.
For 6 months, we trained in the gym, in the park, on the beach, wherever conditions were right for the challenge that day. The workouts were an intense type of fun — always changing, always challenging, but always fun. I actually looked forward to getting my butt kicked! She had so many ideas (e.g. wearing a surgical mask to simulate altitude breathing, running up sand dunes with a 40lb pack) and always pushed me to the next level, both physically and mentally, far beyond where I thought I could go. She prepared me well for the tests Rainier would give me.
My biggest fear, besides not making it up the mountain, was that I would injure myself with this level of training. She constantly made sure that my knees, my back, my ankles were good. It meant the world to me that she was just as invested in this journey as I was.
Kristina is more than a trainer — she is a mentor, and she is happy to offer nutrition and fitness advice 24/​7, be flexible with your schedule, and treat you like you are her only client (you aren’t, but you feel like it!).
She is the sole reason I got in shape to climb that mountain and I could never thank her enough.

What else can I say? Kristina is prompt, knowledgeable, friendly and somehow makes working out fun. She also teaches techniques and workouts to use when you’re on your own and she’s not there. Everything you want in a personal trainer at a great price!

Kristina is an awesome trainer! She really knows what she is doing and focuses on your needs. Changing it up so it is never boring. Thanks Kristina.
