Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kris Williams.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Born in South London, my story began when I trained as a Thai Boxer with the notorious South London camp, the Scorpions. After five years training I regrettably stopped all sports due to the long hours my job in the financial industry required. Unhappy with my physique, I decided to make a positive change: I hired a personal trainer. Soon, not only had I lost many undesirable pounds and two dress sizes, I improved my stability, coordination and strength.

Then, I decided to change careers and begin helping others on their personal fitness journeys. Knowing first-hand the commitment and dedication it takes, I knew I could truly help others.

I moved to Los Angeles 2015 and opened my private fitness studio in Venice/Marina Del Ray. As a NASM certified trainer, I help clients with many varied goals ranging from weight loss to maximizing strength. My approach to training includes helping clients improve their core balance so that they can eventually progress to strength or explosive workouts, and mentoring them mentally and emotionally for their individual journey ahead. Nutrition awareness is also a focus in my coaching and I follow a “simple philosophy: it is a matter of basic math…calories-in to calories-out ratio.”

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
My largest challenge along the road is finding time for all my clients and keeping up my other love, writing! I have written and published three books, but not in the fitness world. I am a chick lit writer (girly books) I love writing but it is a far contrast from my physical personal training. I suppose you could say it is like my yin & yang. I write under a pen name of Victoria Browne.

Vix PT – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Separate form my private studio in Marina Del Ray, I am also an ambassador for a very cool online personal training platform called GymGo.com

This allows me to train clients all over the world! My GymGo clients join me every week online from a phone app, a tablet or desktop computer: I have a monitor in my gym where I can see and talk to my clients wherever they are around the world.

Clients can choose from my awesome workouts ranging from one2one personal training sessions, or fun High intensity interval training (Hiit) Classes to slower weight training classes.

This not only allows me to reach new people all over the world, but it also helps my LA based clients who come to my private studio when they travel. I have a lot of clients with demanding work schedule that takes them all over the county! GymGo.com gives my clients a brilliant new way to keep up their training programs with me from their hotel rooms! Keeping all their goals on track.

What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Success for me is not giving up and reaching the goal I set myself. All my clients are successful because we set milestone success goals leading up to the ultimate goal. If you want it, I can help you get it!!!
