Meet Our New Trainer: Christina Blahovich

Hello, everyone! My name is Christina Blahovich, and I am so excited to be on the Coastal Fitness and Correction team! Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my fitness journey.

My Fitness Journey

My fitness journey begins at a young age. As an overweight/obese child and teenager, I felt really ashamed of my body and built a really unhealthy relationship with food. While I did swimming classes and joined the volleyball team at my school, I avoided exercise because I was afraid of what peers thought of my extra weight. In 2018, I decided enough self-shaming was enough and that it was time to take my life back and began my weight-loss journey. I wanted to take care of myself and not worry about other people’s thoughts about me and my body. Over time, I changed my diet and began exercising. Since then, I’ve been maintaining a 60lb weight loss for over four years! My relationship with food is healthier, and I feel more confident in what my body can do and how I feel in it and less concerned with what anyone thinks about how it looks.

During my fitness journey, I began taking barre classes and eventually fell in love with exercise and the positive energy each of my teachers brought to their classes. After three years of taking barre classes, I trained to be a barre instructor. My passion for my own fitness journey drove me to lead every class with positive energy, and I strove to help each client build a healthy relationship with their bodies. Last year, my barre brand launched a progressive weight training format. I was thrilled to work with heavier weights and wanted to work with clients in a 1:1 capacity with more time outside the barre studio. This led me to pursue personal training certification. I achieved my certification as a personal trainer through the National Academy for Sports Medicine.

Since then, I’ve joined the team at Coastal Fitness and Correction and have loved learning from Tanya, meeting and learning about each client, programming personalized workouts, and helping stretch and train each individual.

Fun Tidbits

Some fun tidbits about me include that I count myself an old soul. I enjoy baking, crocheting, abstract doodling, the beach, peace and quiet, mockumentary comedies, and animals. I have lived in Florida since July 2023, and so far have loved the warmer, sunny, humid climate, and the amount of times someone has gifted me mangos and fruit (I love fruit). I’m looking forward to my second Florida “winter” when I can get outside again and find new parks, trails, and outdoor places to explore.

I look forward to meeting you soon or seeing you again in the Coastal studio soon!
