Personal Training, Built Around You
Personal training should help you do more than get through a workout.
​
It should help you feel stronger, move with more confidence, stay active, and make everyday life a little easier.
​
My approach to personal training combines strength training, functional movement, mobility, adaptive fitness, and supportive health coaching into a single, fully personalized program.
You don't need to decide whether you need personal training, health coaching, mobility work, or something else.
​
That's my job.
​
We start with you, your goals, your body, your history, your current abilities, and your life, and build from there.
Why Train At Satya Yoga
This Is Fitness Made Human
There are plenty of places where you can exercise.
​
Personal training at Satya is for people who want something a little more personal.
Maybe you've never felt comfortable in a traditional gym. Maybe you're returning to exercise after a long time away. Maybe your body doesn't move quite the way it used to. Or maybe you're simply tired of guessing what you should be doing.
​
You don't need to arrive fit, flexible, coordinated, or already knowing your way around a gym.
You just need a place to start.
​
My job is to meet you there.

Every personal training program is built specifically for the person in front of me.

Strength training
Healthy habit and behavior-change coaching
Functional fitness
Balance and stability
Flexibility and recovery work
Adaptive exercise
How Personal Training Works
Strength for Real Life
Strength training is an important part of what I do, but strength isn't only about lifting heavier weights.
​
We may be working toward things like:
-
Getting up and down from the floor more comfortably
-
Carrying groceries
-
Climbing stairs
-
Traveling
-
Gardening
-
Playing with your kids or grandkids
-
Feeling steadier on your feet
-
Maintaining independence as you age
-
Returning to activities you enjoy
-
Feeling more confident in your own body
-
​
Those things matter. And they are absolutely valid fitness goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be fit before I start?
Absolutely not.
That's one of the reasons personal training exists.
We start with where you are right now and build from there.
​
What if I've never lifted weights before?
Perfectly fine.
You don't need any previous experience. I'll teach you what to do, how to do it, and why we're doing it.
​
What if I have old injuries or joint problems?
Those things are taken into consideration when your program is created.
My background includes adaptive fitness, orthopedic exercise, functional training, and yoga therapy, which gives me a broad toolbox for helping clients find appropriate ways to move and build strength.
Personal training is not physical therapy or medical rehabilitation, and I may ask for medical clearance or recommend working with another healthcare professional when appropriate.
​
Is this mostly strength training?
Strength is a major part of what I do, but your program isn't limited to strength training.
We may also work on mobility, balance, stability, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, movement patterns, recovery, and other areas based on your goals.
​
Do you still offer Integrated Training?
I no longer use Integrated Training as a separate service name.
The philosophy behind it hasn't gone anywhere.
All of my personal training is integrated.
I use the modalities, education, and experience I have accumulated over the years to create the most appropriate program for the individual client.
You don't have to choose the method.
You just have to tell me what you want help with.
​
Do you still offer Health Coaching?
Health coaching is no longer offered as a separate personal training program.
Health coaching, behavior-change strategies, accountability, and lifestyle support are incorporated into personal training whenever they're useful to helping you reach your goals.
Meet Your Trainer
Hi, I’m Christine
I’ve spent years helping people become stronger, move better, and feel more confident in their bodies, especially people who may not feel at home in a traditional fitness environment.
​
My background includes personal training, functional and adaptive fitness, orthopedic exercise, yoga therapy, and health coaching. Rather than treating those as separate services, I bring that experience together to create training that makes sense for the individual person standing in front of me.
​
I believe good personal training should be challenging and supportive. You should understand what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and feel comfortable asking questions along the way.
Most importantly, you don’t have to show up already fit or knowing what you’re doing.
​
Come as you are. We’ll start there.
