“I hadn’t PR-ed on my 2k all season and after one session with Kristin, I PR-ed by 3.6 splits. She was a game-changer!”
When I was a kid, I was teased about how I huffed and puffed when I ran. I was the token chubby kid picked last in gym class. So slow. So uncoordinated. My parents were dead set on having me be an athlete, but that was met with a huge eye-roll from me. I tried soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, ski team, track and field, and more before we’d all nearly given up.
Then, I found rowing. The first time I took a 2k erg test, I felt like I was going to die. It was the hardest thing I’d ever done in my life. What I remember even more vividly, though, is what I felt like after the second erg test, when I beat my previous time. I was totally surprised.
What began in a grungy boathouse at Community Rowing in Boston blossomed into a 15-year rowing career spanning high school, college, and 7 years rowing for Team USA. I raced at Youth Nationals, Collegiate National Championships, World Cups, World Championships, and the Olympic Games.
I went through the highs of setting records, winning National Championships and competing at the Olympics to lows of injuries, losing races, and failing to qualify for the National Team. I navigated the college recruiting process, then the transfer process from one university to another, the Under-23 team, and the leap to the National Team after college.
I didn't dream of it when I was racing in high school or college either. I just took it one step at a time, one workout at a time, learned the tricks, and honed my skills so much that competing on the international stage was a natural progression.
Sure, you could keep doing what you’re doing, but I want you to make leaps ahead in your rowing. I want to help you transform into the athlete you never even knew you could be.

"I owe so much so my rowing success to Kristin. She has helped me achieve what I once thought was impossible. She was able to teach me so many great strategies for the erg and my split dropped immensely."
“I’ve trained on Kristin’s workout plans for two years and in that time I’ve PR-ed on my erg tests, won Head of the Charles, and gained tons of confidence. The workouts are tough but finishing them makes the huge effort well worth it — no pain, no gain!”

Reluctantly attend the first day of track and field. When tasked with choosing an event, I asked the coach which event is the shortest. Huff and puff through the 100m dash. Finished last.
