We journey through the life story with Christina Relke, the CEO of Relke Fitness. 

Not a CEO overnight, as she had and still has tons of ideas she wants to implement and still intend on doing so. She tells us how she built her own company over quarantine and how she accomplishes what she has now. Every story has its unique situation and completing a degree in psychology and having hopes of using it in a special way had become a reality; also a computer programmer and having her own hybrid model of online training app.

Christina is an athlete and from a family where health and fitness is a priority. She struggled with her weight and even though she turned to the gym, she was disappointed and crushed. No genuine and individualistic goal was planned for her, treated like everyone else, she walked away from the ‘experts’ and became her own advocate for her body. Not the usual coach, Christina uses her scope of practice and initiates it within her coaching tactics; advocating for the needs of each individual. As she inspires us to be the better version of ourselves, listen in on the real importance of constantly improving our mind and body.

QUOTES

"We all want to look good, and at the end of the day we do what we do preach; we want to look good, feel good."

"It is difficult to really be out there but authenticity is key."

"Now that I have taken the time to basically be a bat, stay in my lair, sit and figure out these things and how I wanted to do it; now from here, it's full steam ahead, just making sure that everyone is able to learn how to work out with confidence. But also do it in a way that is serving their true self and is authentic to them rather than to be a cookie-cutter programmer image of someone else."
