The saying goes….”you can take the girl out of California, but you can’t take the California out of the girl.”  This pretty much sums up personal trainer Kristina Doran.  Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, Kristina leads the ultimate California lifestyle here in NYC.  It would be impractical to carry around a surfboard or snowboard on the subway, but whenever it’s possible, Kristina treks out to a city beach or nearby slope for some fun in the sun. This lifestyle is reflected in her training style: high-energy and challenging yet fun and relaxing.

With a very extensive dance upbringing, Kristina has a very well rounded sense of physicality and movement.   Catering to dancers, yoga enthusiast and extreme athletes alike Kristina thoroughly enjoys helping her clients reach their goals.

She received her personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine and is continuing her education with NASM studying for her CES (correctional exercise certification.)  Kristina also holds certifications in TRX, Pre and Post-Natal Fitness, and Muy Thai Kick-Boxking. She also plans to attend the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine to begin her Doctorate in Chinese Medicine, acupuncture and herbology.

Focusing on Snowboard and surf specific exercises, Kristina enjoys helping her clients getting ready for their seasons, whatever that may be.  She is also an avid runner and mountain biker.
