Helping People Find Their Untapped Potential.

About Christine 

What is your philosophy?

I believe everyone has a special reason they were put here on earth. I want to inspire others to find their purpose and LIVE their lives fully, without hesitation or physical limitation. Feeling unfit can make your life seem smaller…I want to help people live big lives! (While having an appropriate Body Mass Index

Why should I pick you as a Fusion Coach?

I am a board certified orthopedic specialist with 11 years experience in physical therapy. I understand why some fitness programs don’t work for people with previous injuries or nagging aches and pains. I know how to customize programs to allow my clients to work hard while strengthening areas of weakness, rather than just working around them.

As a Fusion Coach, I love to work with clients to help them create healthier, more meaningful connections in their life – to themselves and to the world around them. I particularly enjoy working with women over 40. I understand that women in their 20’s and 30’s are often focused on their careers and their families and have difficulty finding time to take care of themselves. As the years go by, your fitness declines. Then, in your 40’s and 50’s, priorities and time commitments shift. You may want to explore a new hobby or travel or find a more effective way to beat “the battle of the bulge”.

“Christine Springer has been the key to my positive transition from a focus on running to a focus on becoming healthy, strong, active, optimistic, and fit as I age.I am convinced that if I had had Christine’s proactive, strength building program when I was younger and began running I would still be on the trails. Her support as a teacher, counselor, motivator, and excellent listener is just what I have needed to rebuild my knee and become stronger and fit.” – Renee F.

If you have been inactive or inconsistent with your exercise routine for several years, you will likely need both the professional expertise and practical support I can offer through Fusion.

Being truly fit requires not only physical capacity, but also the mental and emotional capacity to make tough choices. Sometimes the choices involve pushing yourself, maybe choosing to exercise on a day when you aren’t in a good mood or have a tight schedule. Other days the tough choice is to slow down, taking a rest day because you’re hurt, run-down or over-trained. Knowing which way to go (keep moving or slow down) requires total honesty….which is easy to say, but hard to do.

During our coaching sessions (either on the phone, over Skype,  or in-person), I can help you identify:

• A set of measureable goals.
• Physical and mental stumbling blocks to reaching your goals.
• Practical solutions for achieving your goals.

What do you do to stay fit?

Well…Fusion for starters! But I think of Fusion as the gateway to doing other things you love. One passion in my life is swimming. I gave up swimming for almost 10 years because of shoulder instability and weakness. Using Fusion (with help from DK) got me back to swimming and not just short distances…I did a 4 mile charity swim last year! I have experienced first-hand the joy that improved physical capacity can bring to your life and I want my clients to experience that as well.
I also enjoy cycling and walking my greyhound, Hanna.

And I am planning on completing a 10 mile hike in Big Sur in April 2012!
