WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Kaitlyn B.
"Chris truly cares about each of the people he works with and goes above and beyond to help them. He immediately put me at ease and gave me the hope and encouragement I needed to heal my injury. After working with Chris for a few months my intense low back pain has resolved. I’m finally able to live pain free and pursue my running and strength training goals."
Benny Z.
"Had a dislocated shoulder injury in early June... after 6 weeks, I have to say the result was incredible. Chris understood how to slowly work back from my injury step by step and created a friendly and professional environment for me and other clients. He gave advice about activities that are dangerous or beneficial at home, sending emails on activities you can perform on your own. ."
Jerrick I.
"Chris definitely cares about the people he works with. He was on top with checking in and giving me the necessary information to rehab back to normal. Felt like I was always in good hands. He’s very knowledgeable in giving the right workouts specifically for me and my condition. If anything happens in the future (fingers crossed not), Chris will be my go to!"

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Ken C.
"Coming off an injury, Chris has helped me train with the right exercises and the right effort to stabilize and strengthen me. This is not easy given my injury, so training with Chris has been excellent and his expertise has made a huge difference."
Ashton L.
"He has the medical knowledge that most trainers lack and that definitely gives him an edge. I came to him with several old injuries and he was able to modify every single exercise..."
Allan N.
"Chris' professionalism and knowledge in the field made sure that I was getting the best care possible. He's very thorough with the process ... He acknowledged my needs to alleviate several areas of muscle pain and future injury prevention."
Client Progress post 💪: 8 months transformation. No shortcuts, just hard work at 42 years young. With previous neck and shoulder surgery, we progressed back to safely resistance train. Now feeling back to his college strength, he’s back playing in a soccer league!
"Before I trained with Chris I was not happy with how I felt and looked, I wanted more muscle and tone and to just overall feel healthier! After only a couple weeks-3 months I was already noticing a huge difference. Fast forward to now, I couldn’t be happier with the results! I feel and look stronger, and have toned all the places that I initially talked about to him. Super friendly and welcoming environment that I was so happy to come workout to."
Alice V.
"Chris is a great trainer! He develops a training program especially tailored to your needs based on your specific goals, physical prowess and guided by his own knowledge of physical health. I got some great recommendations to improve my diet and lifestyle in general while working with him. He keeps you motivated to succeed and at the same time, he prepares you to be independent by providing you with the skills and discipline to work out on your own eventually. I highly recommend him."
