About Me

I train for my 2 girls - my why. My hope is that they grow into strong, independent women that choose to lead a healthy lifestyle. I started off as a group fitness instructor in 2005 and after 7 years decided that I could offer more. Personal Training for me provides an opportunity to connect deeper with members - and help change lives! Outside of fitness, I love watching my girls play club level soccer!

Kellie M.

I have really enjoyed my training sessions with Christa! I look forward to them every week. She has not only been my trainer but also my support. It's great to see the progress I have made!

I’ve been a member at Lifetime for about two years now, and have been attending GTX classes since that time. I love Christa’s classes! She has a lot of energy and it’s obvious that she loves what she does. She cares about her clients and their successes, and encourages us when we are struggling. In addition to awesome GTX classes, her kickboxing and cycle classes are also a challenge and fun to take. She’s the best!

Christa is the jewel in the Lifetime's crown. Before my sister purchased a membership to Lifetime for me, I dreaded getting out of bed everyday. Now, I jump out of bed ready and grateful for the new day. She's not only my trainer and life coach, I consider her my friend, my family.

I approached Christa during a season in my life when I needed some accountability. My busy lifestyle was taking my time away from the gym and a lot of the times couldn’t attend the regular classes. My goal was to keep my fitness up and build muscle. She has been amazing and has challenged me to the coreeeee. She helped me realized I’m stronger and can do more than I think I can. As a mother of 4, I appreciate the confidence boost in the gym and within my muscles ;)

I started GTX with Christa in August of 2019. Since that time, I’ve lost 27 pounds and 10% body fat. Christa is an amazing coach, always inspiring and motivating the people she trains. No matter how many people are in the class, she always focuses on form and offers modifications when needed. She makes you feel like you are the most important person in the class. Christa creates a culture of accountability and makes you want to come to class even if it is before the sun rises! She has played an instrumental role in my fitness journey and continues to make fitness fun!

Kristen W.

Christa is an amazing trainer. I have been going to her GTX classes since May and I have seen improvement in my strength and weight lifting abilities. I have lost about 5% of my body fat and am on track to keep it up! She motivates me to push myself past what I would ever do on my own and genuinely cares about me as a client. I can’t say enough about how she’s changed my attitude towards working out in general!

Jenny G.

About 2.5 years ago, my mom gave me the push I needed and connected me with Christa to start training. I’ve never been one to see a big change in the scale, but in the time I have spent one on one and in GTX with Christa, my body and mindset have drastically changed. I feel stronger, healthier and so much more capable than I have in years. Christa’s energy and aura exudes happiness. You can’t help but smile when she’s around, no matter how many burpees she makes you do! She made me fall in love with fitness and helped me find that drive within to be healthy and strong, that I had lost somewhere along the way. She pushes you to be the best version of yourself, and if you’re lucky, you find a new friend in the process.

I cannot day enough good things about Christa my wife and I started training with her with Team Burn ( now GTX Burn). We go early mornings 6am on Monday, Wednesday’s and Friday’s the difference is amazing. I am down almost 40 pounds, from a 38 waist to a 34 and feel great. We have had personal training time with Christa but she makes the group training feel personal and she is so good at helping us to stay motivated. I don’t believe you could find a better trainer or better person to work with. If you are willing to put in the effort she will make sure you are successful. She is simply the Best!! Tony

Deanna M.

Murray I started training with Christa after my shoulder surgeries. I needed to regain my strength as well as work on range of motion. Christa was able to put together a safe and effective program. I’m happy to say my shoulders are strong again. Christa is great to workout with, very knowledgeable and always positive.

I have been with Christa for a little over a year. Since then I have lost 12 sizes and gained more confidence than I could ever imagine. I’m the mother of a 5 year old autistic son who is full of energy and is constantly on the move. I knew I had to do something different or I would never be able to keep up with him. I was so out of shape when I came to Christa but she assured me with hard work and dedication it would all get better. Christa makes fitness fun. She’s there for you to coach you and cheer you on and is always excited to help you be the best version of yourself. I can feel myself getting stronger as I’m also shrinking. My favorite thing about Christa is how much heart she puts into her job and the amount of effort she puts into her people to become not just a fitness trainer but also a friend. If you’re looking for someone to help you with your fitness goals and someone who knows the struggle, she’s your girl!

Cindy L.

Christa is amazing! My husband and I did couples training with her and loved it! She evaluated both of our strengths and areas of opportunity and helped us reach our fitness goals! I am double jointed and was always fearful of hurting myself when lifting weights but Christa worked with me and helped me overcome my fear while educating me on the correct way to lift weights. Our training sessions were very early (6am) on Saturday mornings and I thought it might be hard to have energy and be motivated that early but Christa brings enough motivation and energy for everyone no matter what time of the day! Her positive attitude is contagious and we are so grateful to have her as a personal trainer!

Amber L.

When I started with Christa I was so out of shape I could barely make it a few steps without getting out of breath and not to mention it was just hard moving around. Forty weeks training with her I lost 26.5 inches and 46.1 lbs. She has taught me so much about myself and pushed me to do things I never thought I’d ever be able to do. She is such an amazing trainer. With her upbeat personality and positivity (even at 5 a.m.) she always makes working out fun even though she makes me sweat my booty off at the same time. She offers nonstop encouragement and is always there if I fall off track. Without her I wouldn’t be where I am today and still continuing my health and fitness journey. I am a stronger me because I had her help. Her enthusiasm for her job shows in every client I’ve seen her with including myself. I am thankful for having her as my trainer. P.S. Her training sessions may involve her singing songs and duck like dance moves lol. All which make training with her so much fun. Christa is definitely one of a kind.

I had the pleasure to have Christa as a trainer for almost 2 years. When I first met her I was a little intimidated by her but I knew she was the perfect fit for me because she was going to push me to my limits and she did! I was taking medication for high blood pressure and within a few months of training with her I was no longer needing the medication. She has changed my life. With her help and encouragement I was able to discover that I am a strong person not only physically but mentally. She is always full of energy and has a great sense of humor. It was an experience that I would not change for anything. Thank you Christa for everything that you do

Suzanne L.

When I met Christa a little over two years ago, I was nervous, scared and doubtful. I am a wife, mom to two young children and a full time nurse. I found myself overweight, full of self hate and on the back burner of life. Training with Christa lit a fire within me. She saw ME, believed in ME, and helped me love ME. Christa’s charisma and energy pushed me to find a love for physical fitness that I am striving to pass on to my children. Training with Christa was the best thing I ever did for myself!

Christa Mills- I started with Christa a year ago in april. I had a goal to get toned and hopefully lose weight. Being a coach myself and doing training before, she had a challenge. She didn’t only meet that challenge, she went far above my expectations. She pushed me and never used the same exercise in our sessions in a full year. Never the same exercise!!! That kept me so interested and excited to keep me moving towards my goals. She checked my goals regularly, measured me and weighed me. Just made it very personal! Her attitude was amazing every time we had a session. Which made me excited! She is such a positive person and kept the environment positive! Words aren’t enough! Give her a try. You won’t regret it????????

Cassidy B.

I disliked exercise so much until I started doing training with Christa Mills. She is such an amazing person and role model and she knows how to make exercise fun and exciting. I loved my experience working with her.

Yesenia B.

When beginning my fitness journey, group fitness classes was where I began. This is where I first met Christa. Christa not only became a friend, but became a mentor for my fitness journey. I began personal training with Christa soon after, and she always pushed me to another level. She tailors your workouts for your personal needs and motivates you. She keeps you accountable and encourages you to be consistent with your workouts and your healthy diet. I am grateful for Christa because she helped me achieve my fitness goals. I not only feel more confident, but I feel healthier. I feel stronger and I truly enjoy to workout. If you are looking for a trainer Christa is the one for you. She is not only a trainer but a great friend!

What a pleasure it has been to work with Christa! She is patient and attentive every single step of the way. I had never stepped foot into a gym before in my life but overweight and with Multiple Sclerosis I knew I had to change my lifestyle to better my health. After a few classes with Christa, I was hooked! Her passion and enthusiasm are contagious. So much so, that I decided to step it up and take private sessions with her and WOW! 40 pounds later, I am the smallest I have ever been, the healthiest and strongest! My doctors are very impress with my progress and my MS has seemed to hit a halt because of my new lifestyle. I sincerely have 100% to thank Christa for such amazing results. Thank you amiga from the bottom of my heart!

Krista was my trainer for over 3 years. I love her bubbly personality. She was always there with a smile while she pushed me to work harder, because she new I could do it. I started going to Krista right after I had double knee replacement. My goal at the time was to be able to get up off the floor. Three years later not only is that not a problem, I’ve also have become so much stronger than I ever thought possible.

Sandra R.

When I started to attend the gym, I had no idea where to even begin. I was very intimidated to try weight training and did not know if I was using the equipment properly. When I started training with Christa she began to educate me and I began to feel more confident with training. Christa challenged me in so many ways and at the end of each session I felt accomplished because I overcame something new that I thought I could never do. Thanks to Christa not only did I achieve my goal, but I also became more confident in the way I exercise. I always remember her encouragement and how she showed me that anything I put my mind to is possible. Christa is truly a trainer that is one of a kind! I couldn’t have picked a more perfect trainer. She showed me that I am strong and that anything is possible. She never lets you say you can’t and is always fully invested to help me your goals.

Christa has always exceeded my expectations throughout the years. She always brings challenges to the table for me and miraculously I accomplish them. During personal training she noticed that my posture was not well balanced and her communication towards my healing was well received because of her caring approach. She manages many well being ideas while being careful of ones health and safety during personal training. My favorite trait about Christa is her personality! Talk about a Sparkling and Genuine trainer! I loved her training skills and the results I received were amazing! She gives well rounded advice on not only training but nutrition?? Which is a huge benefit for me, because I struggle with my eating habits. I am eternally Grateful for my trainer but most importantly my inspiration and Friend Forever!
