Hey there! Coach Chris here. Personal Training has become my life. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep training. To me there is no other option as a personal trainer/coach than to be a living embodiment of fitness and nutrition. I have been fit and active my entire life. In thanks to my parents pushing my brother and myself to participate in as many sports as possible growing up. From baseball, basketball, swimming, track, tennis, to gymnastics, I did it all. When I entered high school that is when injuries got the best of me and tainted my high school athletic performance and career. Fast forward to college where I graduated from East Stroudsburg University in PA, I ran track and field there for my first year and a half. My first year was a struggle as I was dealing with injuries and ended up getting cut from the team as I simply was not good enough mainly due to lack of training from injury. My second year I made a comeback and became one of the fastest mid distance runners on the team. I decided to leave track and pursue Rugby for ESU which was quite the experience and a challenge. While I increased my training from 1 sessions a day to 3, even 4 sessions daily for Rugby it was not until my last semester of college that I realized I wanted to be a personal trainer for the rest of my life. Fast forward to today, 2024, I am now a successful personal trainer who has achieved great results for my 15 plus clients I worked with for 1 year at my first personal training job. Not only does my focus revolve around results, getting strong and looking great; my main focus is injury prevention by dynamic stretching, mobility work, static stretching, and yoga as I understand what it is like to have injury after injury after injury. I do not want any of my clients to ever experience that! I love what I do and I am very passionate about my craft. Join me in your fitness journey and fitness transformation! We can get the best results TOGETHER💪🏼
