Meet The Team

Hi, I’m Dr. Chrissy. I am a physical therapist, personal trainer, triathlon coach, and dance/cheer coach. I began dancing on the drill team in middle school and continued through high school and college. In college I was part of the Illini competitive dance team at University of Illinois in Champaign. After college I was honored to be a Luvabull cheerleader for the Chicago Bulls for two seasons.

My dance and cheer experience awakened my passion for fitness and I began running triathlons. I completed my first triathlon in 2009 and have since completed 10 Ironman races as well as countless half Ironman, Olympic, and sprint distance races. Through many years of training, injuries, and work with some amazing physical therapists, I realized that I was fascinated with how the body worked! This drove me to my next love, physical therapy.

Today, I want to be the one to help YOU cross that finish line, surpass your goals, and ignite your passion! I want you to get stronger, effectively and efficiently, so that you AVOID injury and can do your activities to your FULLEST POTENTIAL.

Personally, I am married to Justin and we have a black lab named Harley. When I’m not running or training, I love to read and binge TV shows.
