The Core Code: 7-Day Core Control Protocol

Hey, I’m Krista Kruszon—founder of Gritty Glitter Badger™ Fitness & Mindset, and the muscle behind the mission. I’ve been in the game for over 35 years—starting in competitive sports at 8 years old, picking up weights at 15, and chasing CrossFit Masters Games qualification as a grown-ass woman with grit. I’ve lived it all: the PR highs, the injury lows, the burnout, the rebirth, and the evolution. And I’m still standing, still training, still leading from the front. I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and a Certified in NLP , but more than that—I’m a coach who actually gives a damn. I created this program and this app not to impress you with fancy jargon, but to empower you with real tools that build strength, confidence, and staying power. Why I Created This Program Because I got tired of watching people waste their time on cookie-cutter ab circuits and influencer nonsense that burns out your body and leaves your nervous system fried. I created Core & Conquer as a foundational protocol—a way to train your entire core (not just chase a six-pack) with purpose, precision, and a little edge. These 7 days are short, effective, and built to stack with your current training. Repeat it for 4 weeks, layer it into your life, and when you’re ready? Core Code II is waiting. And more programming on the way! This isn’t about “looking fit.” It’s about feeling unshakable—in your body, your strength, and your presence. What I Believe I believe your fitness should serve your life, not control it. That strength is a form of sovereignty. And that longevity is the ultimate flex. I don’t train to shrink, punish, or prove anything. I train to lead, expand, and live fully. And I coach others to do the same—with badass energy, zero fluff, and a whole lot of heart. Whether you’re lifting in your garage, hiking with your dogs, chasing your grandkids, or reclaiming your damn space—this program is for you. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present and willing to move. Inside the App, You’ll Get: ✅ Smart, progressive programming that actually works ✅ Quick, powerful workouts to fit your real life ✅ Core strength that supports your lifting and your living ✅ Optional weights or bodyweight-only flexibility ✅ My energy, my mindset tools, and my coaching—unfiltered and fully human This is just the beginning. This app is my love letter to the long-game lifters, the comeback queens, and the women who are done playing small. So yeah, I’m Krista. I train. I coach. I cuss a little. I care a lot. And I’m here to help you move like you mean it—strong, sharp, and unstoppable. Let’s f*cking go. —Krista 💥
