Christina is an 8x Ironman Finisher, multiple 70.3 finisher, and a Certified NCCP Triathlon Coach. She is a mother of 3 and knows what it is like to keep all the balls up in the air to accomplish athletic, personal, family goals and growth.

Since 2003, Family Fun Fit™ has been home to a large variety of programs all with the intent of promoting an active healthy lifestyle thru Triathlon and fitness. Under the Family Fun Fit™
banner, Christina has coached athletes in all distances of Triathlon (Try-a-Tri, Sprint, Olympic,70.3 and Ironman) as well as general fitness. She has hosted multiple fundraisers and has  had numerous speaking engagements in schools to promote fitness.

Christina has provided both fitness training, and mental preparation programs for both soccer and skating teams. She has trained Police Officers in order to pass their fitness tests and trained people to achieve their cycling fundraising events, such as The Ride To Cancer.

 

When Christina’s children were young she designed, implemented and coached a Kids Triathlon Program which she ran thru the City of Toronto for 2 years. Thereafter she ran it thru Family Fun Fit™ for another 3 years before changing her Coaching focus to adults.

 

Under Family Fun Fit™, Christina created and Race Directed 29 Triathlon Ontario Sanctioned events:

 

East End Kids of Steel Triathlon and Adult Try-a-Tri:

 

This was a community favourite that ran for 17 years in Toronto’s East end. In it’s early years, this event was an introduction to many who had never participated in a Triathlon before.  Over the 17 year span, many family's returned annually. Kids volunteered for their High School credit hours and many became avid Triathletes from this exposure. 

 

Beaches Best Kids Duathlon and Adult Try-a-Du:

 

This run-bike-run event ran for 12 years in Toronto’s Ashbridge’s Bay Park.
