PERSONAL TRAINER & GROUP TRAINER
KRISTIAN NELSON
From a young age, I was an athlete, always moving—whether it was playing soccer and lacrosse or training in martial arts. After high school, I transitioned from team sports to fitness, starting with P90X and gym routines inspired by Men’s Health, like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Workout. Over time, I explored everything from bodybuilding and CrossFit to parkour and kettlebells, constantly searching for the best ways to build strength, agility, and resilience.
This journey shaped my mission: to help you revitalize your athleticism and build a body you’re proud of so you can live life with confidence. You don’t need to compete in a sport to train like an athlete—you just need the drive to become more than you are now. My approach focuses on full-body training, covering everything from skill work and strength to agility, mobility, and injury recovery. Whether you’re reclaiming the athleticism you once had or discovering it for the first time, I’ll help you unlock your full potential.
I’ve experienced firsthand the power of intelligent training. After breaking my foot playing soccer, I used ATG principles to heal myself—strengthening not just my injury but my entire foundation. As a certified ATG coach, I believe in building strength from the ground up, starting with the feet. We never train through pain, always working within your current abilities and progressing at a pace that ensures lasting results.
Over the years, I’ve worked with everyone from high school athletes looking to excel in their sport to an 80-year-old woman determined to move through life with strength and confidence. If you’re ready to take back control of your body, move freely, and unlock your true potential, let’s connect and make it happen.
If you’re ready to reclaim your athleticism, let’s connect and awaken your potential!

Client Reviews:
Facing a significant birthday, I decided to put time and energy into strength and endurance training. I was fortunate to sign on with Kristian Nelson, a personal trainer and Level One ATG coach at the Ely HMS Functional Fitness Gym. Kristian is well trained in the ATG method which emphasizes conditioning and strengthening without pain or injury, starting from the feet upward and systematically working all muscle groups in legs, torso and core, arms, shoulders, and upper body. Working in a guided program three times a week with Kristian has resulted in improvement in my balance, strength, endurance, and outlook. I recommend the ATG training approach, and I wholeheartedly recommend Kristian as a trainer: he is intelligent, organized, attentive, and encouraging in addition to being deeply knowledgeable about ATG and it beneficial effects.
