Christi Kearns

Christi moved to the Monterey Bay area in 2009 from Denver, CO. She has always been a lover of all things fitness related and became a group fitness instructor in her 20's teaching step aerobics. After a long hiatus and recovering from two spinal surgeries, Christi decided to get back into the world of fitness. She started running in 2010 and began her journey as a marathoner shortly thereafter. Christi has run countless marathons including New York, Chicago and Berlin. She is currently slated to run Tokyo in 2022 and is working on a Boston qualifier.

Christi initially met Arianne in a Barre class at the Sports Center many years ago. At the time, that was the only Barre class around so when CarmelBarre opened she just knew she needed to become a part of the team. She started teaching Barre and PiYo in 2016. Christi loves the fact that CarmelBarre is like a second family - no judgements, just women supporting each other. Currently she teaches at The Park, recording on-demand classes for everyone - everywhere!

During the day, Christi is the Senior Administrative Director of Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Sleep Medicine, Nutrition & Rehab services at Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System. In her spare time she enjoys running, reading, trail running and camping with her husband and dog, Aspen.
