Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Krista Stryker — NSCA-certified personal trainer, founder of 12 Minute Athlete, and competitive jiu-jitsu athlete.
For the past 15+ years, my mission has been simple: to help people unlock their full athletic potential — no matter where they’re starting from.
When I first became a personal trainer in New York City, I did what I thought I had to do: spent hours every day on cardio, weightlifting, and sports-specific training. I pushed myself to the point of injury and burnout—yet still felt like I wasn’t doing enough.
Then I discovered HIIT and bodyweight training — and everything changed.
Not only did I get stronger, faster, and more athletic than ever before, but I started doing things I never thought possible:
✔️ Mastering pull-ups
✔️ Holding handstands
✔️ Crushing 100 burpees in under six minutes
✔️ Running, jumping, and sprinting like an athlete
That’s why I created 12 Minute Athlete — to help others do the same.
As the Chief Performance Coach at The Center for Human Potential, I work with renowned psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman to explore the science of motivation, mindset, and human performance. I also write about passion on my Substack, On Fire.
Today, 12 Minute Athlete has grown into a global community of people committed to training smarter, moving better, and staying strong for life. My work has been featured in The Washington Post, Shape Magazine, The NY Post, and more, and I’ve helped thousands of people — from total beginners to elite athletes — discover what their bodies are truly capable of.
I’m here to help you do the same. You don’t need hours to build strength, speed, and endurance. You just need the right approach.
🚀 Let’s go.
