Our founders

Jonathan Holz & Scott Churner

Mission Provide industry leading fitness and athlete development in a fun, educational and positive environment. We want to inspire and instill confidence, eliminate self-doubt, and to forge success in all areas of life for all Maximize Potential family members. -Maximize Potential started as a vision back in 2017 when Coach Scott and Coach Jon came to central Texas. The vision by Scott and Jon was to provide a safe and effective training facility for everyone. -Initial training started on a 450 square foot piece of turf in a small gym in Killeen, Texas. We brought our duffel bags filled with training tools like speed ladders, cones, and resistance bands back and forth between sessions. Within 1 year, Maximize Potential was able to move to Belton, Texas and grow into their own facility consisting of 2,500 sq ft of training space inside and 5,000 sq ft of turf outside. -Combining the knowledge of Scott’s Personal Training, Mobility Training and Recovery Training with Jon’s Sports Performance Training and Athlete Development, Maximize Potential develops top tier high school athletes and helps adults of all ages continue their fitness journeys no matter what roadblocks they come across.

Hi! I’m Krista, a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach with a specialization in Corrective Exercise and Fitness Nutrition. I entered the health field as a Registered Nurse in the Army, primarily focusing on maternal and child nursing. My passion grew into wanting to be more on the preventative side of health and I have loved fitness since my teenage years so becoming a personal trainer and nutrition coach was a natural and exciting fit for me!
As a wife and a mama of two, my hobbies usually revolve around family fun such as weekend hikes and picnics, road trips to see family, cooking new meals, and baking! As far as personal interests, I love going for long runs, rock climbing, photography, and crafting/organizing!
My ideal client is someone who is looking to find a realistic and sustainable approach to feeling better, moving more efficiently, and improving the quality of their everyday life from a holistic approach. As a mom, I know how easy it is to put ourselves second but I also have learned and love to share how important it is to make the time for our own wellness, even if it means changing the approach that is the right fit for right now.
