Kristal Holmes is a
Wellness Coach, Nationally Qualified NPC Figure Competitor, and fitness model
who enjoys inspiring others to reach their health and fitness goals. The
benefits of a healthy diet and exercise are numerous—for Kristal, literally
every aspect of life became clearer over the course of her fitness journey.
Kristal’s fitness story
began during a trip to Hawaii in the summer of 2008. At a family wedding, she
reunited with one of her God sisters, and was amazed that she looked as good as
she had as a teenager—and she was 40 years old! When Kristal asked how she’d
made the transformation, she explained that she simply leads a lifestyle of
fitness. No fad diets, no gimmicks, a lifestyle.
Kristal returned home
and immediately began dieting. She lost about 17 pounds on her own before she
hit a wall. It wasn't until she hired a personal trainer that her goal started
to become a reality.Three months later she was prepping to participate in her
first bikini competition. And there was another surprising effect—she no longer
needed any medication for anxiety or depression!
Shortly after the
competition, Kristal found out she was pregnant. Having a child changes you in
so many ways! She decided that it was time really focus
on what she loved. Now she works on her body, spirit and mind. But this journey
is not just about competing. Exercise can transform all areas of life, and
Kristal hopes that her story inspires others toward action.
Kristal has been
featured on Bodybuilding.com’s We 'Mirin twice. After the articles posted, she received

People who have seen her pictures and read her story want to know how she lost
the weight and how they can become healthier and happier, too. She is humbled
and honored to have the chance to make an impact with people, so she gets up
every day and gets in the gym no matter what.
