Welcome!
Hey there, I'm Chrissy King. I'm a writer, speaker, fitness and strength coach, and a powerlifter with a passion for intersectional feminism and creating a diverse and inclusive fitness industry.
I spent the majority of my twenties focused on shrinking — my body, my voice, and my entire life in general.

I’m on a mission to help people STOP shrinking, START taking up space and use your energy to create your specific magic in the world.

You are doing work that is actually bending history in the right direction and educating all of us along the way. There are no words that make justice to how helpful your course was for me. So I will stop here and say, THANK YOU!- Leticia
