Meet Your Trainer
Christine Zittel
Certified Personal Trainer, Specialist in Senior Fitness & Nutrition
Let me start where my desire for fitness became my passion; In my late 40's I was a special education teacher in a low income high school. I was exhausted everyday and all that fast food I was eating was starting to show. I went to a boot camp with a friend and raised my hand proudly when they asked "Who ate bread this week?" My friend grabbed my hand and pulled it down quickly. Little did I know, that was a BAD thing.
That boot camp helped me realize how out of shape I really was. I decided to invest in myself and I signed a contract for a personal trainer. At first...I cried every session. Yep. Cried. Big baby tears all because I couldn't lift 6lb weights above my head. Push ups were impossible. Trying to do a pull up was just a dangle with some grunting!
My trainer forced me to come up with goals! At first my goals were boring same old, same old:
I want to lose 10 pounds.
I want to run a 5k.
I want to do A pull-up.
After those were accomplished, I started getting creative:
I want to run naked.
I want to run the Tough Mudder.
I want to do a Pump & Run.
And my final goal... I WANT TO BE A PERSONAL TRAINER!
So here I am.. age 55 and stronger now than I was in my 30's.
Being a Personal Trainer/Health Coach/Nutrition Advisor is not just a job for me. This is my passion.
Let me help you discover YOUR passion!
