Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Krista Stryker—NSCA-certified personal trainer, founder of 12 Minute Athlete, handstand enthusiast, and competitive jiu-jitsu athlete. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve made it my mission to prove that you don’t need hours in the gym to get fit—you just need the right approach.
When I first started working as a personal trainer in New York City, I did what I thought I had to do: spending hours each day on cardio, weightlifting, and sports-specific training. I pushed myself to the point of injury and burnout, only to feel like it still wasn’t enough.
Then I discovered HIIT training, and everything changed.
Not only did I get leaner and stronger than ever before, but I started doing things I never thought possible: mastering pull-ups, crushing 100 burpees in under six minutes, and nailing handstand push-ups—all while having the time and energy to enjoy life outside of the gym.
Inspired by my own transformation, I created 12 Minute Athlete to share the power of short, intense workouts with people around the world. My goal is simple: to help you build strength, confidence, and a body you love—without spending endless hours working out.
In addition to my fitness work, I serve as Chief Performance Coach at The Center for Human Potential, where I collaborate with renowned psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman. Together, we explore the intersection of psychology, motivation, and human performance, using cutting-edge research to help people unlock their potential and live fully. I also share insights and stories about passion and purpose through my Substack, On Fire.
Today, 12 Minute Athlete has grown into a global community of people committed to getting stronger, moving better, and discovering their inner athletes. My work has been featured in publications like The Washington Post, Shape Magazine, Men’s Fitness, and more, and I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of people—from total beginners to seasoned athletes—transform their fitness and their lives.
Whether it’s through my signature HIIT workouts, my mindset-focused approach to fitness, or my new course Fitness That Sticks, I’m here to help you realize that you’re capable of more than you think.
Fitness doesn’t have to take over your life to be effective—it just needs to stick.
