Hello lovely ladies!! I’m Kristen, the owner and founder of Queens of Iron. Our mission is to help women like you create a fit, fierce, and feminine physique they can feel good in from the inside out. We understand your need for maximum energy throughout the day, and to eliminate potential pains from your career or lifestyle. We’re here to help you achieve the healthiest and strongest version of you so you can accomplish your business and personal goals all the more.

I remember what it was like to be on the other side of this. To not like how my body looked or felt, having no idea what to eat, and definitely no knowledge of even how to lift weights. I was an athlete my entire life and into college for tumbling and cheerleading, but never knew fitness and nutrition outside of that. Once I learned about macros, lifting, and a balanced lifestyle for play and structure, my life totally and radically transformed. Ever since that moment, of discovering the tools needed to help me create a physique I was absolutely in love with, I decided to bring this message to the world. After well over a decade of training and coaching, I have never been more passionate than I am right now to help women conquer their body and take their life and health to the next level.

A bit about my professional background, I have been training women for almost 15 years years in their strength, fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle. That equates to helping more than a thousand women get fit and strong while feeling her best; in a way she can sustain for life. I was active duty Army for 4 years and trained Soldiers in their physical fitness & nutrition for performance & physique benefits.

I also have my B.S. Exercise & Sport Science, MBA International Business, half my PhD in Psychology for mindset training, and have many certifications under the sun. A few noteworthy include National Strength and Conditioning Association for personal training, Clean Health Fitness institute for nutrition, many physique shaping certs, Kinetic Integrations for corrective exercise, and I am constantly learning more and more to advance my skill and clients’ results.

So glad you're here with us! Let's get to work, Queen! It's YOUR time to shine!!

Sierra Becker

Hey, Coach Sierra here, and I’m one of Queens of Iron Success Trainers. My mission is to level up women, empower & inspire them to lead a fit & fulfilling lives.

My past was a journey of lifelong struggle with my weight, my body, my relationship with food, & my binge eating. I was your classic yo-yo dieter & fell into the lies & frustration of diet culture, only causing an extreme cycle of binging & restricting. Food became my enemy & I felt out of control. But then I found the magic of tracking macros & lifting weights, it liberated me from the confines of my unhealthy habits & lifestyle & allowed me to finally feel a sense of power inwardly & outwardly. My own journey of feeling trapped in my own body fueled me to become a Fitness & Nutrition Coach.I realized that my true passion & purpose is to help women be able to escape that dieting cycle to live their lives, look & feel amazing, & own their power.

I have a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies & worked as an Educator/Instructional Coach for 14 years, always in a relentless pursuit to help others. I am a NASM CPT, Behavior Change Specialist, NCI Nutrition & PN1 Nutrition Certified Coach.

I lead by example & want women to know that they can achieve their goals with their body & I want to empower you to live and embrace the challenges & obstacles as opportunities to learn & grow so that you can be an unstoppable force.

Once you are one of my clients, you officially become one of my people. I am invested in understanding YOU and YOU individual unique goals, challenges, & aspirations so I can tailor your program for you. I am dedicated to leveling you up mentally, emotionally, & physically to motivate you to push boundaries & achieve your results with a peppy & uplifting attitude so you realize that you are limitless & anything is possible.

So let’s go girl. Let’s unleash your inner (and outer) strength, overcome those obstacles to live a fit & fabulous life you deserve & work so hard for. Together we have got this!

Shelby Starks

Hello lovely women! I am Shelby, one of the client success trainers here at Queens of Iron. I am so grateful to be a part of this profound team and to serve high-achieving women like yourself! I stand behind the mission here to help every determined woman possible reach their healthiest, fittest self in a balanced and sustainable way.

I was taught the value of weightlifting and prioritizing your health and fitness at a young age. I grew up a three-sport athlete and a part of my high school's weightlifting program. After I graduated, I continued my career in the equestrian world. During this time, I studied to obtain my certification as a trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I love boosting women's confidence and teaching them it is here and with Queens of Iron programming that we create a long-term, fit, healthy, and feminine physique!

Counting macros has been a game-changer for someone who regularly under ate like me. I would get so laser-focused on my daily tasks that I would forget to eat. Having these daily goals has allowed my competitive spirit to fuel my body and build sustainable habits so that I can show up as my best and most present self at the gym, at work, and at home!

As my client, I will guide you with insight, grace, joy, and communication. You can count on my presence, tough love, and understanding!

I am super excited to support and propel you onto the path to your healthiest and fittest self!

Katie Craigmiles

Hi! I’m Katie, one of your client success trainers here at Queens of Iron, and I'm beyond excited to help you reach your goals!

I am a certified personal trainer, mindset specialist and nutrition coach through ISSA and NCI! Previously I was a pharmacy tech, but found my true passion in fitness and health after having my first baby and I knew that I had to break free from the path of self sabotage, negative body image issues and my unhealthy relationship with food and exercise. Now, as a mama of two young girls, I get to share this passion with them but also with all of you!

I love watching my clients really step into their power and experience firsthand how showing up for yourself overflows into SO many other areas of your life-it's truly life changing! I want my clients to truly feel like the highest version of themselves both inside and out, and together we can make that happen!

I understand that this journey is multi faceted and whether you are a beginner or seeking to take it to the next level I am here to help guide you! I can’t wait to share my passion and dedication to you all, and help you live in a healthy and fit body that you are proud of-for life! Lets go crush it!

Ashley Welch

Hey there! I’m Ashley, and I’m one of the client success trainers here at Queens of Iron. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of this amazing team of women, and I’m so excited to help you reach your goals.

I bring a unique perspective to coaching, because there was a time in my life when I was exactly where you might be right now - feeling frustrated and defeated because, while I had created an exercise routine and was seeing some weight loss, I wasn’t where I wanted to be with my physique. I had two small children, a busy career, and just felt STUCK and didn’t have the tools I needed to change.

When I found Queens of Iron, I took a leap of faith and began working with Kristen. During the course of my time with her, not only did I lose nearly 50 lbs and totally re-shape my physique, but I completely transformed my lifestyle and habits. At nearly 40 years young, I’m in the best shape of my life, and I feel like my best years are just getting started.

My journey inspired me to empower other women, and I pursued and earned personal training and nutrition coaching certifications through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I opened my own online personal training and nutrition coaching business, and while I absolutely loved it, I found I wanted to spend all of my time coaching rather than running a business. I’m beyond thrilled to now be partnering with Queens of Iron to coach women through their own transformations.

My approach to coaching is centered around education, empowerment, and building solid habits. I believe that knowledge is power, and I make sure my clients have a solid understanding of nutrition and exercise and learn how to bring balance to their lives to become the healthiest, happiest, and most fit version of themselves, inside and out. I can’t wait to guide you through this journey!
