Hello from the Queens of Iron team!
Kristen Elizabeth
Hello lovely ladies!! I’m Kristen, the owner and founder of Queens of Iron. Our mission is to help women like you create a fit, fierce, and feminine physique they can feel good in from the inside out. We understand your need for maximum energy throughout the day, and to eliminate potential pains from your career or lifestyle. We’re here to help you achieve the healthiest and strongest version of you so you can accomplish your business and personal goals all the more.
I remember what it was like to be on the other side of this. To not like how my body looked or felt, having no idea what to eat, and definitely no knowledge of even how to lift weights. I was an athlete my entire life and into college for tumbling and cheerleading, but never knew fitness and nutrition outside of that. Once I learned about macros, lifting, and a balanced lifestyle for play and structure, my life totally and radically transformed. Ever since that moment, of discovering the tools needed to help me create a physique I was absolutely in love with, I decided to bring this message to the world. After well over a decade of training and coaching, I have never been more passionate than I am right now to help women conquer their body and take their life and health to the next level.
A bit about my professional background, I have been training women for almost 15 years years in their strength, fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle. That equates to helping more than a thousand women get fit and strong while feeling her best; in a way she can sustain for life. I was active duty Army for 4 years and trained Soldiers in their physical fitness & nutrition for performance & physique benefits.
I also have my B.S. Exercise & Sport Science, MBA International Business, half my PhD in Psychology for mindset training, and have many certifications under the sun. A few noteworthy include National Strength and Conditioning Association for personal training, Clean Health Fitness institute for nutrition, many physique shaping certs, Kinetic Integrations for corrective exercise, and I am constantly learning more and more to advance my skill and clients’ results.
So glad you're here with us! Let's get to work, Queen! It's YOUR time to shine!!
Sierra Becker
Hey, Coach Sierra here, and I’m one of Queens of Iron Success Trainers. My mission is to level up women, empower & inspire them to lead a fit & fulfilling lives.
My past was a journey of lifelong struggle with my weight, my body, my relationship with food, & my binge eating. I was your classic yo-yo dieter & fell into the lies & frustration of diet culture, only causing an extreme cycle of binging & restricting. Food became my enemy & I felt out of control. But then I found the magic of tracking macros & lifting weights, it liberated me from the confines of my unhealthy habits & lifestyle & allowed me to finally feel a sense of power inwardly & outwardly. My own journey of feeling trapped in my own body fueled me to become a Fitness & Nutrition Coach.I realized that my true passion & purpose is to help women be able to escape that dieting cycle to live their lives, look & feel amazing, & own their power.
I have a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies & worked as an Educator/Instructional Coach for 14 years, always in a relentless pursuit to help others. I am a NASM CPT, Behavior Change Specialist, NCI Nutrition & PN1 Nutrition Certified Coach.
I lead by example & want women to know that they can achieve their goals with their body & I want to empower you to live and embrace the challenges & obstacles as opportunities to learn & grow so that you can be an unstoppable force.
Once you are one of my clients, you officially become one of my people. I am invested in understanding YOU and YOU individual unique goals, challenges, & aspirations so I can tailor your program for you. I am dedicated to leveling you up mentally, emotionally, & physically to motivate you to push boundaries & achieve your results with a peppy & uplifting attitude so you realize that you are limitless & anything is possible.
So let’s go girl. Let’s unleash your inner (and outer) strength, overcome those obstacles to live a fit & fabulous life you deserve & work so hard for. Together we have got this!

Hi! I’m Megan and I am a client success trainer with Queens of Iron! A little bit about me:
I’ve been an endurance athlete my entire life. I ran cross country and track in high school and all four years in college. I have a B.S. in Biology, and LOVE anything that has to do with nutrition and how the body works. I am also a certified trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and received my nutrition certification through the Nutritional Coaching Institute.
I'm a busy mom and I understand the importance of needing a plan that is efficient and effective! This program helps shape the whole person. It will give you tools you can use for the rest of your life!!! I can personally attest that Queens of Iron programming works as I use it myself!
As someone who has overcome the binge eating cycle and the thought process that cardio was the ONLY thing that was going to help me reach my goals, I can promise you I will meet you where you are at and get you where you want to go. Changing my habits, tracking my food and lifting weights has literally changed my life! Physically and mentally.
I want my clients to feel the confidence that comes with having a fit feminine physique that the Queens of Iron program creates!!!
I can’t wait to serve you and provide as much value as possible to help you get to the next level with your fitness journey.
Shelby Starks
Hello lovely women! I am Shelby, one of the client success trainers here at Queens of Iron. I am so grateful to be a part of this profound team and to serve high-achieving women like yourself! I stand behind the mission here to help every determined woman possible reach their healthiest, fittest self in a balanced and sustainable way.
I was taught the value of weightlifting and prioritizing your health and fitness at a young age. I grew up a three-sport athlete and a part of my high school's weightlifting program. After I graduated, I continued my career in the equestrian world. During this time, I studied to obtain my certification as a trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I love boosting women's confidence and teaching them it is here and with Queens of Iron programming that we create a long-term, fit, healthy, and feminine physique!
Counting macros has been a game-changer for someone who regularly under ate like me. I would get so laser-focused on my daily tasks that I would forget to eat. Having these daily goals has allowed my competitive spirit to fuel my body and build sustainable habits so that I can show up as my best and most present self at the gym, at work, and at home!
As my client, I will guide you with insight, grace, joy, and communication. You can count on my presence, tough love, and understanding!
I am super excited to support and propel you onto the path to your healthiest and fittest self!

Hi! I’m Katie, one of your client success trainers here at Queens of Iron, and I'm beyond excited to help you reach your goals!
I am a certified personal trainer, mindset specialist and nutrition coach through ISSA and NCI! Previously I was a pharmacy tech, but found my true passion in fitness and health after having my first baby and I knew that I had to break free from the path of self sabotage, negative body image issues and my unhealthy relationship with food and exercise. Now, as a mama of two young girls, I get to share this passion with them but also with all of you!
I love watching my clients really step into their power and experience firsthand how showing up for yourself overflows into SO many other areas of your life-it's truly life changing! I want my clients to truly feel like the highest version of themselves both inside and out, and together we can make that happen!
I understand that this journey is multi faceted and whether you are a beginner or seeking to take it to the next level I am here to help guide you! I can’t wait to share my passion and dedication to you all, and help you live in a healthy and fit body that you are proud of-for life! Lets go crush it!
Jenna Palomino
Hi there! I’m Jenna and I’m one of the client success coaches here at Queens of Iron. I’m so excited to be serving and walking alongside you in this new journey.
I’ve been in the nutrition and fitness space for 13 years. I’m a NASM certified personal trainer and fitness nutrition specialist and have gone through the Level 1 nutrition course at NCI and am currently working through the Gut Health Masterclass. I also have 10 years of experience leading a recovery program that has helped millions of people recover through life’s hurts, habits, and hang ups, including eating disorders.
I began my fitness and nutrition journey when I was about 11. I was tired of always feeling like the overweight one in my friend group. So, I asked my mom if we could join a gym. It was cool at first, but going around a circle hitting the same machines was boring… and it didn’t last.
Once I hit high school, I joined all of the sports conditioning classes before the tryouts, but never tried out for the sport, I just enjoyed working out. Growing up, my parents never set an example of living a healthy lifestyle, instead I heard phrases like “I’m so fat today”, “today’s my cheat day”, or “I’m on a diet, I can’t eat that” and that’s all I knew and learned. After high school, I began going to the gym, but became obsessive with my eating.
Until one day I met the love of my life and he introduced me to weight lifting and BAM my whole world was changed. Even through additional challenges like putting on 80 pounds during pregnancy, I’ve been able to master my nutrition and lifting to create the fit, fierce, and feminine body I love while being able to balance and enjoy life; and I am so excited to stand with Queens of Iron and teach you to do the same!
