Believes in You
by Kelly Merritt
A glance at Krystal Nielson’s Instagram feed and one thing is clear—achieving extraordinary wellness
never looked so good. It’s not just the level of fitness Nielson has attained, or the fashions or the scenery.
It’s how she conveys the humanity of health, how she applies that to her coaching and how it all comes
together. It’s how she is able to help her participants stay accountable to themselves.
Between commenters exclaiming, ‘Those abs!’ ‘Where can we
get those shorts?’ and ‘You are a force to be reckoned with,’
Nielson’s advice and consult goes beyond what she eats and does
in the gym. Using her experiences as a baseline, she shares her
coaching message in ways that resonate beneath the surface. In a
post that garnered nearly 50,000 likes, Nielson supposes: “Maybe
she’s born with it... or maybe she shows up for her goals even on
days she feels lazy.... Maybe she’s lucky... Or maybe she considers

goals... Or on herself.”
Women everywhere hear her. They respond to Nielson’s honest
approach. And for Nielson’s fans who want what she has, she
is eager to share it with them. The only catch? They must do
the work.
“I’ve made moving my body daily a lifestyle, along with eating
healthy food, staying connected and in tune with my emotions
and with my mental and physical body,” says Nielson, who vows
that she could never go back to a time of dishonoring her body.

“I see with clients that everyone is looking for help and what
I have unmasked is that people can feel alone on their fitness
journey.”
Though Nielson is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and NASM
Fitness Nutrition Specialist, helping transform her clients’ lives is
the result of her own inner transformation.
“I went through a year and a half of a deep
spiritual and emotional journey of growth and
taking ownership of my life,” says Nielson. “I have
brought that into my coaching.”

Coach Krystal's Total Body Guide, a 30-day workout plan with
