Kris Belding - Official Biography

Kris received her Psychology and Sociology degree in Colorado. After school Kris worked in the Private non-profit sector doing in-home therapy. Through her thousands of hours working with clients diagnosed with eating disorders and victims of domestic violence she received her LCSW.

After a cycling accident, Kris found herself at the wrong end of a mountain bike and wound up with a serious shoulder injury. Instead of surgery she was able to rehabilitate her shoulder through Pilate’s and noticed that she also improved her level of athleticism and fitness as well as a marked difference of balance in her mental and external life.

So convinced in the power of the rehabilitation work she immediately knew that this was her direction and purpose forward to teach balance through the physical modality. She spent several years and 1000’s of training hours with master teachers in Pilates, Gyrotonic, Paul CHEK, and many other physical training modalities. That combined with her study in NLP, EMDR, Hypnosis and Theta work produced a highly effective and unique methodology that does not belong to any one school or ideology: and is very unique in the fitness and diet world.

That led Kris, one of South Florida’s leading fitness experts to work in conjunction with Dr. Arthur Agatston, preventative cardiologist and author of the South Beach Diet, in creating and developing the exercise program for The South Beach Diet Fitness Club. You can see her program in the books, website and DVD’s.

Over the years through combining her knowledge of psychology and a diverse athletic background and training Kris realized that weight loss has very little to do with the lack of nutrition education or will power and self-control, which seems to be the current cornerstone of the diet industry, but instead is values based and that one’s limiting beliefs may be holding one back from reaching their goals in any area of life.

Her unique methodology that helps clients achieve not only in their weight loss goals but also major shifts in their personal relationships, financial realms and other areas in their lives. By knowing thyself achieving ones goals becomes an effortless side effect of the work.
