We love nothing more than sharing in the success of our clients! Here are the inspiring stories from some of the women we’ve had the pleasure to work with…
I learned so much and feel like I had so much support. After years of dieting and trying everything, I've finally realized getting healthy doesn't have to be a diet, it's a lifestyle change that lasts forever.
Kristin was always checking in and very supportive to anything that may be needed. This is my second time around and I feel like I learned something new each week which made it possible to reach my goals.
If you are looking to reach your healthy lifestyle goals, The Fit life Formula is the way to go, it will definitely get you there.

I've struggled my whole life with weight - remember the cabbage soup diet in the 70s? I do. Over the last year I've changed the way I feel about food, weight and being active. I will never be a size 2, and don't think I want to be. What helped me get to being happy with my healthy weight and fit body? Kristin.
The Fit Life Formula is a no-nonsense, easy to follow program that educates women about what and how much food and activity their bodies need to lose weight and be healthy - notice I didn't say skinny! HEALTHY!
Kristin is supportive and knowledgeable with the added benefit that she has been where most of us are. What we are feeling about food or who we see in the mirror Kristin has too and she shares that - what a game changer! Expert advice from someone who has been there.
If you are wanting to be healthier, learn just how much you can eat to be healthy, and be supported through your journey, please do yourself a huge favor and speak to Kristin. You will not regret it!

“As a super-elite traveler, I was looking to improve my energy levels, get more out of my workouts and just feel better. After meeting Kristin at one of her talks I was intrigued by her approach to nutrition; it wasn’t restrictive or complicated, and I wanted to know more. We worked together for several months and created a plan to fit my lifestyle with some simple changes that ended up having a big impact. I learned so much about how to fuel my body to perform at my best.
As a CEO, time and energy are always at a premium. I now have a meal plan I can easily follow despite my full schedule and am confident I’m making the best food choices no matter where I am or how short on time. Working with Kristin has been a gamechanger for me - I have much more energy, feel great, and have a sustainable approach to nutrition with foods I love that supports my busy, active lifestyle.”

I met Kristin this past year had an excellent experience. My goal was to lose weight and improve my current exercise routine. I’ve been on plans to eat better and plans to lose weight so many times and I would often feel starved or like I had no energy. Eventually I’d lose the interest in keeping it up. I would lose 10-15 lbs and then soon after gain that weight back plus more.
I wanted a nutrition coach who could set me on the right path and be there as I made the changes I knew I wanted. Kristin was very knowledgeable and taught me a lot. I was delighted to know that she wasn’t going to put me on a 1200 calorie diet or suggest I go to the gym 7 days a week. Her position was always that it had to be realistic and attainable for it to last.
Kristin helped me set up a nutritional plan based on my body, age, current exercise routine and goals. I began to learn about macronutrients which in some ways, was similar to the old-school calorie counting. For several months I tracked everything I ate and drank. And, though it took some getting use to, it was not difficult at all. Counting macros, especially the first few weeks was an adjustment. I wasn't used to eating so much food and so much protein! Getting such a large portion of my calories from protein was new to me - it meant more meals that included fish and meat.
Counting macros showed me what the right balance of food looked like, and it was a great way to shift my eating habits. It gave me wiggle room for eating out with friends or going for lunch meetings without feeling so restricted. The best thing about this approach was that I never really felt hungry outside of a normal increase toward the end of the work day when I was finished running around.
Kristin and I would meet each week and then eventually every other week. Consistently she was there guiding me and cheering me on. She was always available for any questions or support along the way. I enjoyed our weekly meetings where I got to focus on me and my goals. I lost weight , discovered the benefits of higher energy and the importance of protein especially in women as we age. I learned that essential nutrients can make you feel more full and is key for building and maintaining strong muscles and bones. I now know what food I need to fuel my body properly.
Kristin is personable and so easy to talk to. I appreciated her undeniable passion for her work and sharing what she knows. She made everything easy to understand. I cannot say enough about how relatable and easy to connect with Kristin is. She’s been a fantastic support and I would recommend her without reservation.

6 weeks of this program, down 9 pounds and several inches. Feeling strong and happier in my own skin than I have in years! Thank you for your help Kristin!
I’m looking forward to enjoying summer this year. I’m no longer dreading wearing a bathing suit and love knowing that I won’t be dragging behind the group on hikes while camping with friends . I love feeling this way & am going to save this post to remind myself how miserable I felt 9 months and 40 pounds ago compared to how I feel now. I’m not done yet, but roughly half way there feels amazing.
You have given me the tools to maintain my momentum and continue to my goals. Having some very practical, common-sense ways to have a healthy lifestyle is so important! As is a community. I found my exercise community every morning, but what I was lacking was a nutrition community. So many fad diets and restrictive ways of eating and they are NOT for me. So, your program is perfect! I look forward to remaining connected through your main Facebook page.

“My story is similar to everyone out there who is getting older and finding the weight is slowly creeping up. I tried every diet out there – WW, Jenny, Bernstein – you name it. Nothing was sustainable and every time I lost weight, I always gained it all back. The familiar roller coaster that always ended up the same.
I almost decided to give up and just accept that I was going to be 20 lbs. heavier than my younger days and that was that. But one day I decided to take one desperate last-ditch effort and see what Kristin’s Fit Life program was all about.
That was the best decision I could have made – a total game changer! Her great tips, recipes, and a sensible easy plan to follow worked like a charm and guess what? The weight fell off. (I lost even more than the 20 lbs. I set out to lose and I couldn’t be happier!) I haven’t gained any weight back either. So, thank you so much Kristin!! – I could not have done this without you and I know I’ll be able to maintain my weight now once and for all now that you’ve shown me how!”

“For anyone who is looking to get fit, healthy or lose some weight, I highly recommend Fit Life Coaching and Kristin to be your guide. After some health issues and medications, I had been holding on to an extra 10 pounds for about 10 years that no diet or exercise routine could get rid of. I tried, Keto, intermittent fasting, vegan, daily cardio, gym membership etc. Nothing worked.
I started this journey on the hope of losing 10 pounds by my 51st birthday, a lofty goal in two and a half months. I never felt hungry or deprived (except the two week challenge of 0 calorie drinks - I missed wine and cheated twice) . Kristin’s comprehensive plan slowly integrates different habits so its easy to master one, then add another. It was super helpful. Its my birthday tomorrow and I have lost 9 pounds but what I realized is that the number of the scale isn’t as important as the way you feel about yourself and how you feel in your clothes. My muffin top is gone, my clothes fit way better, my body is firmer than it has been in years.
Thank you, Kristin, for all your encouragement, time, patience, and knowledge. I will keep following you for your advice as it works. ”

“When I started working with Kristin, I was lean (5’6” at 118 lbs.) I didn’t have a lot of weight to lose, I just wanted to get visible abs. I let Kristin know that I would follow her 14 day plan* as long as she worked in some of what I already eat; I wasn’t up for losing all my favorite foods, going hungry and/or eating a bunch of unknowns. I provided a glance into a normal day of my meals/snacks, as well as a list of what I wasn’t willing to give up, and she created my plan taking all of that into account.
The meal plan showed me the sneaky calories that I could easily cut and gave me a new appreciation for protein - its easy to get your protein when someone shows you how! I found the meal plan easy to follow as it kept my healthy ‘go-tos’ and more importantly, it was often too much food for me; needless to say, I was never hungry. She also encouraged me to do a short daily ab workout so my muscles would be ready to pop once the layer of fat was gone.
While this plan was only intended for 14 days, I have incorporated countless permanent changes into my daily routine because I enjoyed them. I am no longer in a caloric deficit, or closely monitoring what I eat, but I’m still dropping fat around my mid-section, honestly – without trying!
Thank you, Kristin, for helping me reset my metabolism and drop the frustrating softness covering my abdominal muscles! My tummy is tighter than before having children. I had all but given up on my six-pack goal – working with you has been a game changer! “

“I wanted to let you know about the positive impact that your coaching and nutrition program have had on my overall wellness over the past months that we have been working together. I have experienced weight loss, an enormous increase in my energy level, and most importantly a profound sense of being in control of what I eat, FINALLY. I’m in my mid (ok LATE) 50’s, and for the first time feel that the changes I am making are sustainable. I’ve done Weight Watchers before (lose the weight, gain it back, you know the drill). Your nutrition coaching and recommended eating program is based on science and research and simply makes sense. Focusing on macros and nutrients, has been the key for me.
Your own experience on your wellness journey has served as inspiration. You know what it feels like to have a bad day, overeat or make poor food choices. What I appreciate about your approach is there is no judgement or guilt, only encouragement and empathy. The weekly coaching sessions have provided me with so much information, new recipes, new food ideas, and the ongoing support that many women need as they embark on something new. Tracking my food has now become a daily habit, which has been very helpful. Initially, I thought the process might be cumbersome and time consuming but it really does not require much effort.
I am so grateful to you for your expertise and support!”

“Kristin changed my relationship with fitness and food. Thanks to her, I look forward to daily exercise and enjoy nutritious, delicious meals I prepare, based on her creative ideas for healthy eating. I’m feeling confident as I progress towards realistic goals that are inspiring instead of overwhelming, and when in doubt I can turn to her for guidance and support. Living well never felt so good!”
