Stronger together
They don't just own the studio. They coach in it.
Before Glute Studio, Jill and Kris owned a large gym and three transformation centers together. Today they own Total Sculpting and Glute Studio, and together founded God's Strength Fitness, bringing decades of experience in strength training, physique development, nutrition, body transformation, and coaching under one roof.
Walk into Glute Studio and you'll find Jill and Kris right there on the floor, coaching classes, talking nutrition, and cheering you on. This isn't a gym where you get lost in the crowd. It's a place where our team and members know your name, celebrate your wins, and show up for you on the hard days. We are one big Fit Family, and there's a place here for you.
Jill and Kris love giving back and helping our community grow. They are active members of the Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce and proudly support their local church, E2 Church. Jill is also a co-founder of RISE Women in Business, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports local women business owners, because when women grow stronger, our whole community grows stronger.

Decades of coaching experience
“Our heart is for every woman who walks through our doors to leave stronger than she came in: in her body, her mind, and her faith.”Jill + Kris
Outside the studio: four grown sons, two fur babies, one turtle, drive-in movie nights, and plenty of blended mochas for Jill.
Glute Studio was built on the foundation of God's strength. When you grow in every area of your life, you see real, lasting change.
