Hi.  I’m Kristin Mabry, and Mountainside Wellness is my small business that provides group fitness, personal training, health education, and fitness consulting.  I have a small studio in Juneau where I hope to offer classes and workshops soon.  In the mean time, I will post health-related community events here, and various links to information that people have asked me about over the years.

I have always been a group fitness junkie.  I remember renting Jane Fonda videos when I was middle school – yes with the leg warmers, tights, and leotards.  I have attended classes in every community where I have lived, and when relocating to Juneau in 96/97, I became a member at the Juneau Racquet Club, now the Alaska Club.  Under the guidance of some fantastic instructors, I began to teach in 2000, and have been enjoying it immensely since then.

I currently teach and personal train at the Alaska Club and the University of Southeast Alaska, and I teach instructor training workshops for YogaFit across the country.  I enjoy teaching all forms of aerobics, weight lifting, core training, pilates, yoga, kickboxing, stability ball, and working with special populations such as kids, seniors, and pre/post natal.  If you are specifically interested in my credentials, you can find them here.

This 5 years of teaching has allowed me to meet some very special people, and I continue to be inspired by empowering others to be the very best they can be.  Fitness and wellness can be very broadly defined, including not only our physical health, but our mental, emotional, and spiritual health as well.  Every choice we make can have an effect on our wellness.  So, let’s make fitness our lifetime, lifestyle choice by choosing wisely.

Best wishes for good health!

Kristin
