Coach Kristin believes in the development of strong bodies and confident minds. As a former Adapted Physical Education teacher, Kristin is attune to the nuances of eﬀective programming for individuals across the spectrum. Recognizing both her potential and that of her students could be more fully achieved in an alternate setting, Kristin conceptualized the idea of Maur Movement. She began the transition from teaching into small business ownership in late 2020, establishing Maur Movement to offer 1:1 personal training to individuals of all ages and abilities, specializing in the neurodiverse. Several of Kristin’s former students are now among her most committed clientele.
Kristin holds a Bachelors Degree in Clinical Exercise Science from Ithaca College and Masters Degree in Education from LeMoyne. She is certified as a Level 1 Autism Fitness professional and as an Autism Exercise Specialist by the Exercise Connection Corporation. Her work with Maur Movement clients is featured in the Speciality Certificate Program offered by the American College of Sports Medicine. You can read more about Coach Kristin’s journey here:

To match our growing business, we needed to expand our team. Coach Adrianna (“Ana”) was our very first hire in May 2024. At the time, we were training out of a residential location. Coach Ana had to literally make herself at home in order to fill the new role. While studying in the Health, Physical Education, and Exercise Studies Program at Hudson Valley Community College, Coach Ana was a student intern at Albany-based Warriors on Wheels. Immediately following her graduation, Coach Ana brought a fresh perspective to the athletes of Maur Movement. She has the unique ability to connect with clients on current trends and training techniques alike.

Coach Rebecca joined the Maur Movement team in May 2025. She was jointly interviewed by Coach Kristin and a Maur Movement client, exhibiting her strengths right away. She is a 2019 graduate of the University of Maine at Farmington with a Bachelor’s Degree in Community Health and double Minors in Coaching and Physical Fitness. Rebecca is a member of the National Coaches Registry and is involved in youth sports, including Challengers Baseball, in her hometown of Newburgh NY. Coach Rebecca balances her coaching responsibilities at Maur Movement with her graduate studies in Occupational Therapy at Russell Sage College where she is the chair of the Graduate Honors Program. As part of her coursework, a multi-week volunteer position at Double H Ranch benefited campers with the human connection skills Rebecca aptly shares with the clients of Maur Movement.
