I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for my coach, Krista. When I first started powerlifting, I never imagined that I would find a passion for it, let alone be able to compete. But Krista saw potential in me when I couldn't see it myself. Through her constant support, encouragement, and unmatched knowledge, she has helped me grow in ways I never thought possible. Krista’s dedication to her athletes goes far beyond just training. She’s been a mentor, a motivator, and a source of unwavering support every step of the way. Her coaching style is both challenging and inspiring. She has the incredible ability to push me past my limits while always believing in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. Thanks to her, I’ve not only built strength in the gym but also gained the confidence to stick with the sport and pursue my goals. Competing in powerlifting would not have been possible without her guidance. I am where I am today because of Krista—her passion for the sport and commitment to her athletes has changed my life. I am forever thankful for her and the difference she has made in my journey.

Krista is a consistent, passionate and knowledgeable coach whose holistic view on leading a healthy lifestyle has impacted my life positivity for the past 4 years. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her guidance and compassion, she met me as an insecure woman trying to lose weight and quickly shifted my thinking from losing weight to being strong and the best version of myself. She saw a spark in me, and was the one that pushed me towards powerlifting and I have never looked back. Don’t hesitate to contact Krista, she will change your life in the best way possible.

It can often be a challenge to put into words how someone has positively impacted you. Expressing gratitude for how they have changed your way of thinking, reminding you that you can do hard things and that the weight will feel heavy (because it is) whilst always maintaining their absolute confidence in you, supporting you to be your best, sharing knowledge and helping you reach your goals. That is exactly what Krista has done as my coach. I have never once regretted contacting Krista and asking if she could teach me to lift, my only regret is that I didn't start sooner. If Powerlifting is something that you have seen, thought looked like a fun challenge & want to know more about, regardless of your current abilities, Krista is definitely the lady you want to contact. #Protein #RPE (You will need to train with Krista and then you will understand)

Krista is not only my coach but also my friend. She has been there from the start when I was trying to be the smallest I could be, fast forward to years later teaching and encouraging myself to be stronger, feed and listen to what my body needs, as well as also be an ear to listen. Krista has given me the confidence to get up and compete in powerlifting competitions, which is something I wouldn’t have thought of doing 2 years ago. She is the best support person on and off the platform allowing me to have “5 minutes” but will bring me back to earth when needed. Couldn’t ask for a better coach. Excited for what’s to come for us all!

Where to start… I met Krista in 2017 when she did a 10 week body shake up class, which was the start of my fitness journey. Fast forward to 2021 after I had my son, I got in contact with Krista, at first I struggled with keeping consistent because I couldn’t see the changes I thought I wanted, but Krista helped me change my focus from losing weight to being strong, fit & healthy. I started seeing changes not only in my body & strength but also my mental health! A year later Krista asked if Powerlifting would be something I’d be keen to trying, of course I jumped at the opportunity, purely because Krista competed & the thrill I got from watching her was a no brainer! She is a huge inspiration! Krista isn’t just a fantastic coach she is also a great friend/partner/mother just overall role model. Krista has helped me overcome so much, which I am forever grateful for! Helping me gain confidence to compete in Powerlifting & helping me comeback from a back injury stronger than ever! Krista always gives her full authentic self & will always keep you accountable. She will have your back when you don’t have it for yourself. I can’t recommend her enough! I could write a novel about how incredible Krista is! If you want a coach that is dedicated & driven Krista is the one!! She will unleash your full potential & you won’t ever regret it!! Come and join our Team! KTPT all the way!!

Coach K has been an invaluable part of my health journey. Training is not just something I do, it’s become apart of who I am, thanks to her passion and education. Krista is a wealth of knowledge, but more than that she’ll be a champion of your personal life too. I am incredibly grateful we crossed paths years ago, I’ll never want to stop training now!
