Dr. Kelsey Crispeno, PT, DPT, CSCS (she/her)
Co-Founder of TRAIN Seattle
As a physical therapist and personal trainer, I’m super curious about how our bodies heal and how they strengthen. I’ve been influenced and inspired by the work of Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen, MD. I connect with her worldview and story. In her book My Grandfather’s Blessings, she talks about strengthening the life in other people. She says: “We strengthen life at any time that we listen generously or encourage someone to find meaning, or wonder about possibility, or dream or hope or escape from self-judgement and inner criticism, or know that they matter.” This is what I’m trying to do for myself, and hope to bring to all of my clients in some way or another.
Personal Training
My clients are diverse, though I love working with those who resonate with my whole-body approach. I offer special assistance to those recovering from injury, working with an injury or pain, or those wanting to learn a new way of moving that honors their bodies and moves at a pace that matches their lifestyle. I am passionate about helping people find their strength and power through exploring movement.
Physical Therapy
I am also a co-founder and the Director of Physical Therapy at The Aftermath Agency PLLC. I specialize in chronic pain treatment and pelvic floor physical therapy. I see physical therapy patients virtually and in-person at my private office out of TRAIN Seattle.

“Kelsey is such a pleasure to work with! Working with her was my first time trying strength training/weights and she did such a great job making me feel comfortable and safe. She is really good at giving helpful tips and working with me to make sure my form is good and that I feel confident performing the movements. Kelsey is clearly very knowledgeable in both physical therapy and personal training, and incorporates that knowledge into every workout. I’m so impressed by how she brings the perfect level of rigor to workouts, so that I’m definitely working hard, but never feel overexerted or at risk of injury.
She is great at personalizing your regime based on your goals and it’s very satisfying to see how much progress I’ve made since I started training with Kelsey. I feel way stronger and much more confident with strength training! I’d recommend Kelsey for anyone regardless of experience level, she provides such a fun and nonjudgemental training environment and clearly puts a lot of care into giving you workouts that are customized to you and your goals.”
