Christy

Christy Bring’s love for health and fitness came from her own health challenges. She was first diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) at 9 months old. When she was 10 she began suffering from chronic migraines that continued into adulthood. She didn’t let these health setbacks stop her from enjoying her love of fitness.

Born and raised in Bellingham, WA, Christy competed in figure skating with the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) and played select soccer with the Whatcom County F.C. Rangers from GU11 to GU18. She continued to play in the Whatcom County Adult Soccer Association until her JRA made her hang up her cleats in 2017.

She fell in love with powerlifting during high school and she continued to lift off and on over the years. In 2015 a neurologist she was seeing for migraines recommended that she try a light workout when she got a migraine. She started to feel relief from migraines and JRA from resistance training but she didn’t stop there. Christy then took it a step further and dissected her diet. Going through a food elimination process she learned a plant-based diet not only reduced her inflammation from the JRA but also eliminated the migraines.

Making these discoveries, Christy knew she wanted to help others get their life and health back as well. Christy’s bright personality, diligence for technique, and helpful cues make her a crowd favorite.
