Arezu has been virtual training with Kristen for the past year and through their time together, she noticed how dedicated Arezu was to improving her health and fitness. She showed up to each workout with an unbeatable attitude and was always determined to finish each session with her best. Arezu never shied away from any of the tough exercises that were thrown her way. She might have ended a set out of breath or “in pain” (her words) but she always asked for more. We are very proud of how far Arezu has come!

Kristen Johnson has been an integral part of my health/wellness during this past year, and it has made all the difference.
