But as she got more involved in sport she found she had a huge passion for fitness. This led to her becoming a fitness coach and her energetic approach put her on the radar of all the right people, which enabled her to become a Celebrity Personal Trainer. But her mission was bigger than simply serving a select few, so she created the ‘Code Red Revolution’ which is a lifestyle methodology that has helped thousands and thousands of people globally and has ensured that Cristy has now become a hugely successful entrepreneur too.  In this show you will hear:  How Cristy started as a pro boxer in order to pay her way through Nursing school How Cristy learned that weight gain had nothing to do with exercise during her 15 pro fights and 2 world titles career Why Cristy created the Code Red Lifestyle programme around the stuff ‘that goes in your piehole’ as she puts it! How Cristy made her name as a ‘Celebrity Trainer’ then transitioned that heightened awareness into business How Cristy had a successful fitness programme but was still not able to monetise her skillset      What happened to take Cristy from food stamps to a multi-million dollar business in 3 years Why a client becoming her coach changed everything for Cristy How Cristy became a member of Clickfunnels Two Comma Club  Why streamlining was the way that Cristy accelerated her success Cristy’s top health tips for a fit, productive and successful life   Enjoyed this episode of the show and want to take another step towards creating that grown up business you’ve been working towards?
