Cristi Bartlett.
18+ years in collegiate and professional strength and conditioning. Founder of BTS.
Coaching is the craft.
Cristi Bartlett brings nearly 20 years of experience in collegiate and professional strength and conditioning, helping athletes and everyday individuals build strength, improve performance, and create lasting habits.
Throughout her career, she has coached a wide variety of Division I athletes across numerous sports, while also spending two years in professional football with the NFL and the XFL. This has given her experience developing athletes at the highest levels of competition.
Beyond athletics, Cristi has coached clients from 6 to 90 years old with a wide range of goals, from fat loss, weight gain, strength, and the management of chronic medical conditions. Her coaching philosophy combines evidence-based training, personalized nutrition, and sustainable behavior change to help clients achieve long-term success.
Committed to lifelong learning, Cristi holds numerous certifications spanning strength and conditioning, clinical exercise physiology, nutrition, movement, and performance. These include Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), ACSM Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist (RCEP), Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach (PN1), Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), and several others that support programming.
Outside of coaching, Cristi has competed in powerlifting, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai. She continues to live an active lifestyle through strength training, running, hiking, rucking, and playing in the sun!
Why BTS exists.
BTS was built on one idea: the same quality of coaching that develops Division I athletes should be available to anyone willing to do the work. Not watered down. Not templated. Not automated.
Every client gets fully customized programming, nutrition guidance, habit coaching, and real accountability. That is the system. Four pillars, built around your life, delivered by someone who has spent over a decade learning how to coach people, not just prescribe workouts.
Cristi's role is to provide clarity, structure, and accountability. Your role is to execute. That partnership is what makes BTS work.
