Kristin Girton, Personal Trainer

When I turned 28 a friend of mine posted pictures of me on Facebook, I didn't know who that girl was looking back at me! So I decided that I was going to do something to change my my life!

I started walking, then jogging, and then on August 22, 2009 I ran my first 5k at the Greene County YMCA! But I wanted more! So my husband and I sat out to train for our first Half Marathon. That same year I decided I was spending enough time training at the YMCA that I would apply to work there! I started on the Wellness Staff, doing orientations and watching the Wellness Floor!

After we ran our first Half Marathon we were blessed with our first daughter, Eliza. But finding the motivation to get back in the gym or the trail was hard! So I decided to take my fitness journey to the next level! I became AAAI/ISMA Cycle Certified and started teaching Cycle classes the next day! Literally!

But I still needed more motivation to get back in my running shoes! So I went to boss with an idea! Lets start a couch to 5k class! I would teach the program for the 10 weeks leading up to the Greene County YMCA 5k in August! Little did we know it would be a smashing success! That first year we had 22 runners participate and cross the finish line. We have continued the class ever since and so far over 75 runners have completed the class and race!

From December of 2010- August 2012 I was the GCYMCA Active Older Adults Coordinator. I loved working with the Active Older Adults and learned first hand what was important to this amazing community!

I served as a Volunteer Head Coach, Site Liaison and on the Race Committee for Girls On the Run!

I have continued to push myself out of my box, when I became a Group Exercise Instructor. I have taught RX RIP, Bootcamp, Parent/Child Bootcamp, Barre, Kids Yoga and Cycle! I have continuing education from AAAI in Group Exercise and Yoga.

I love working with all areas of fitness! I LOVE beginners! People who are Rebooting their love of fitness! Athletes! Runners! Active Older Adults! and Kids!

Feel free to call, text, or email me!
I will be training at the Greene County YMCA!
