OUR FOUNDER

Hi guys, my name is Kristin Padilla, certified personal trainer/fitness coach and founder of C.H.I.C.K. Fitness and Health.

For years, I played multiple sports including track, tae-kwon-do (fun fact: I'm a first degree black belt), cheerleading, and dance and have learned the importance of both staying active and having a great coach. However, after high school all of my physical activity came to a halt.

While in college getting my bachelors degree in Psychology, I fell in love with the gym and how strength training made me feel! Although my plan was to go straight into medical school, after years of shadowing doctors in various specialties I understood the importance of the prevention of chronic diseases and helping my community now!

Investing in a quality coach can change your life. Don't wait to make time for your health. Wherever you are, start today.

Kristin and her nutrition guide have given me the tools I need to eat healthy while fueling my body! Kristin has not only given me the body I had back in high school (actually, it's better), but she's given me a confidence I never knew existed on the inside! I would choose her a thousand times over for my journey!

I came to Kristin with the WORST back ever! She has been a true godsend! Very patient and she knows her stuff! Since I've started working with her, the pain that I was feeling daily has subsided significantly! I am overjoyed at the progress!

- LaToya T.

Kristin has been such a blessing to me. Whenever I want to quit, get discouraged, or don't think I can do it she encourages and pushes me to do it. Whenever I need ideas for healthy meals or snacks she always gives me ideas and sends pictures of different foods to try. She has taught me how to make this a lifestyle not just a diet and keep the weight off. I couldn't have done this without her. So far I'm down from a size 14 to a size 8, for the first time since my 20's. I feel good about myself!
