I develop a program that is personalized for you based on your personal goals. The best thing about exercise is that there are no limits to the improvements you can make.Exercise can also be relaxing and replenish the soul. In my Stretching and Relaxing Class, I combine the easier moves of yoga, basic stretching and soothing music to allow you to reach peace and harmony within.

Testimonials

I have been a member of Pinnacle Health & Fitness for many years but have only had Christi as my personal trainer for the past 7 months. I was looking for a trainer to keep me motivated as well as intensify my workouts with weight strengthening, balance, and flexibility exercises. Christ has done just that, she ensures that my workouts with her encompasses all of these. She started me out simple enough – a few easy stretches, balancing on the BOSU, and stepping up and down with light weights. Over the course of training with her, she has intensified my workouts and changes up the exercises so I’m very rarely repeating the same routine. She has me sweating in no time. She sets new standards and goals for me and my weekly one-on-one time with her has proven invaluable. You are not just another client with Christi, she takes time to know you and your exercise needs, then personalizes a training regime. I look forward to my workouts with Christi because I know it won’t be the same routine!

Since I joined Pinnacle Health and Fitness, Christi has been my personal trainer. More than that, she has been my coach, my cheerleader, my teacher, and my workout buddy. In all of those roles, she has listened to my concerns and worked to develop a program that will give me a bit of a challenge. The word “can’t” is not in our dialogue. The words “strength” and “fitness” are.

-Marcia Griskavich

My work with Christi has been great! She spent the time up front to understand some of my very specific needs. I am an in-line skate racer and recreational hockey player and was looking to improve speed and endurance. She put together a regimen of interesting and challenging exercises. In three months I have seen tremendous improvements in my balance and strength and am excited to start the new season this spring a step a ahead of my competition. Christi genuinely cares and clearly knows how to take care of people with a wide range of objectives. I feel completely comfortable recommending her for anyone looking for some self improvement.

-Mike

Christi has been my trainer for some time now. When I first started with Christi I could only take the steps one at a time due to an old injury. I had pain and sometimes limped. With Christi as my trainer I have improve to the point I can cross country ski and yes go up the steps like a normal person. Just the other Day I thought I needed a Chiropractor because of a pain in my lower back and leg. Christi led me though a series of stretches and by the time our session was over the pain was gone. She knows her stuff. I have continued to grow stronger physically with weight training and exercise. I plan on continuing with Christi to stay healthy.
