Since 2014, Krissy has coached athletes in both CrossFit and powerlifting, launching the powerlifting program at the former Copper City Strength & Conditioning, and helping countless members improve their squat, bench, and deadlift. She is a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, a USA Powerlifting Club Coach, and holds CrossFit Gymnastics and CrossFit Kids Certifications. A “semi-retired” competitive powerlifter, she’s held Montana state records in USAPL and brings that same competitive drive and technical expertise to The Body Shop.
But more than numbers on the bar, Krissy is passionate about training people for life…whether that means picking up grandkids with ease, being fit enough for a once-in-a-lifetime hunting trip, having the strength to carry a loved one out of a burning building, or simply building muscle and confidence on their own terms. Currently pursuing certification in training pre- and post-menopausal women, she’s deeply committed to helping athletes of all ages and backgrounds build strength that lasts.
Outside the gym, Krissy runs a nonprofit consulting business and stays busy adventuring with her three dogs and husband, Nate, or volunteering for a community project. She loves local food, hiking, skiing, riding, tackling home projects, sipping a Headframe cocktail, and the occasional true crime podcast binge.

Growing up, Kara enjoyed all sports and fitness. It seemed natural after Kara moved to Missoula from West Virginia that she would pursue fitness and sports further by obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Health and Human Performance. After graduating she got her American College of Sports Medicine Personal Trainer certification, and worked with both individuals and small groups as a trainer at a gym in Missoula. Kara began using a lot of Strength & Conditioning based workouts for her own training as well as many of her clients. In the fall of 2012 Kara got her Level 1 Strength & Conditioning Certificate, and moved to Butte, where she began working out and coaching at Copper City Strength & Conditioning. Kara now holds a Strength & Conditioning L2, Strength & Conditioning Kids, USAW Advanced Sport Performance Certificate and a USA Powerlifting Club Coach certificate.

Anthony has been involved in functional fitness for over 10 years now. After years of on-and-off training that didn’t seem to get results and didn’t keep his interest, Anthony stumbled upon functional training. He instantly loved this style of exercise, largely due to a plethora of movement disciplines combined with the fact that he could get a great workout in an hour or less! The large number of movements kept exercise novel and fun. The intensity kept workouts short, allowing this young father to guard time for himself and still have enough time left over to devote to work, recreation, and family. Anthony decided in early 2012 to bring the joys and challenges of this exciting training methodology to Butte, America, by opening Copper City Strength & Conditioning with his wife, Tara. After 13 years, and recognizing the demand for fitness flexibility, Copper City’s group model evolved into a 24/7 open gym (and later rebranded as The Body Shop).
