Meet Christa Rost, Our Newest Denver Addition!

I had been eyeing Christa Rost for some time before getting the chance to work with her in Denver.  She has a wonderful reputation in the fitness community, and I already knew how much I enjoyed her warm and positive personality.  

I’m excited to give you a chance to get to know Christa here in this interview. As you will see, she’s had a wide-ranging background with some major twists and turns (and believe it or not, she almost became a musician!).  I relate to these big life changes, and I love the way it brings a different kind of perspective and intelligence into the fitness work.  

Anyone who gets the chance to work with Christa will be exceptionally lucky!  Read more about her here, and reach out to us if you would like to book a session with her.  I feel so lucky to be able to live in Denver, and building such a great team has been a wonderful part of the process!
