Kris Petersen is a graduate of the University of Connecticut and has spent more than 20 years working in the health and fitness industry as a trainer, entrepreneur, and consultant.

He is the co-founder of Bodymass Gym, a strength and conditioning facility in Arlington, VA and Washington, DC, which he owned and operated for over a decade before successfully selling the business.

Kris is also the co-founder of Bodymass Composition Testing, a company that provides gold-standard body composition analysis using DEXA scans along with metabolic testing. Bodymass Composition Testing currently operates in multiple locations across four states, helping individuals, coaches, and healthcare providers gain a deeper understanding of body composition and metabolic health.

Through his experience training a wide variety of clients and overseeing thousands of body composition tests, Kris has developed a unique perspective on what actually drives meaningful health and fitness progress—and what doesn’t. His work focuses on helping people cut through the noise of conflicting fitness advice and focus on the few factors that truly move the needle.

As a father of two who balances family life, career, and personal fitness, Kris understands firsthand the challenges of maintaining health in the real world. That experience has reinforced his belief that clarity in thinking and strategy is the key to long-term success.

Kris lives in Durham, North Carolina with his wife Virginia—his partner in business and co-founder of Bodymass Composition Testing—along with their two children and two dogs.
