Kristen Logan

Hi, I’m Kristen Logan! Five years ago, I moved to St. Augustine from my island home of Key West, where I spent about 20 years. Although I loved my time there, I’m a Florida native, born and raised in Miami. My background is in education—I’m a former teacher and now work as an ESE Program Specialist, where I support teachers and administrators working with students with disabilities. As a teacher, I taught Kindergarten, 4th grade, and in a Behavior Unit. I’m also passionate about giving back to the community and volunteer at RESET, a local non-profit where I tutor students, provide SAT prep, and offer reading support.

My fitness journey began 10 years ago when I reached a point where I knew I needed to make changes for my well-being. Since then, I’ve explored various forms of fitness, including kickboxing, boot camp workouts, and long-distance running. I’ve completed several half marathons, a 25K, and even a 50K ultramarathon! For years, I immersed myself in CrossFit, where I fell in love with weightlifting and strength training. After moving to St. Augustine, a friend introduced me to Amber’s Pyro Pilates, and I was instantly hooked. The class, combined with the supportive community, deepened my love for fitness and movement.

I was thrilled when Amber opened her new studio and included weightlifting classes, so when the opportunity arose to teach Elite Physiques at Hennessy Fitness, I was beyond excited. I can’t wait to share my passion for weightlifting and strength training with others. I believe everyone is stronger than they think, and my goal is to help others discover their strength. Pick up the weights, and then learn to pick up even heavier ones!

Outside the studio, I’m a proud mom of two amazing kids—my son is attending UNF, and my daughter is a senior at St. Augustine High School. I also have two dogs, a cat, and an incredibly supportive boyfriend who helps balance my busy life. I love traveling, going on adventures, and learning about the world around me. I’m blessed with a wonderful circle of friends and am excited to extend that sense of community here at the studio. I look forward to working with everyone who steps into class with me!
