Kristie Muller

What fuels my health and fitness is strength and the confidence that comes from becoming capable. When I feel strong in my body, I move through life differently. I stand taller, trust myself more, and know I can handle hard things. What started as a desire to be smaller transformed into a commitment to be stronger. Strength taught me consistency over perfection and proved that confidence is built through showing up. When I feel powerful in my body, I am unstoppable everywhere else.

Strength training is my favorite way to stay fit, especially upper-body and back workouts. There’s something incredibly empowering about building real strength and feeling capable in my body. Lifting heavy reminds me that strength is built, not given, and showing up consistently is where the real transformation happens.

I would use $20,000 to create stability and fuel growth. I’d invest $10,000 toward my future, savings and long-term security because working for yourself requires planning and discipline. The remaining $10,000 would go directly back into my business, Strong New York, NYC’s first fitness and wellness experience. It’s a passion project I’ve been helping to build for 10 years, and this would help take it to the next level!
