I used to struggle with fitness with an injury too.

In 2011, I was injured in a near fatal motor vehicle accident. I was hospitalized for 6 days, suffered mild traumatic brain injury, and weakness due to spinal accessory nerve palsy.

I had to relearn how to walk.

I had to see a physical therapist for two years. 

Then, I had to figure out how to navigate fitness and health with a lifelong injury, and how to meld together personal training and physical therapy in a way that increased my quality of life. 

My journey and dedication to taking control and getting back in the driver's seat began.

I worked tirelessly as a personal trainer, physical therapy aide, and finished my occupational therapy degree. 

Now as a licensed occupational therapist and certified strength and conditioning coach, I have worked with thousands of clients who have injuries looking to return to their meaningful activities. Emotionally, I have felt the frustration of feeling weak and unable to get out of bed due to injury. However, I also know what it practically takes to rise from that situation and how to help others transform.

As someone who has faced disability, it is my passion to help others in the same circumstance.

After our 12 weeks, imagine...

• finally feeling confident in your own body, being unrestricted by pain from a weakness, and performing your meaningful activities without limits.

• enjoying fitness and strength training again (or for the first time).

• how empowered you will feel having a stronger body, leading to increased productivity.

It is POSSIBLE to overcome an injury, and I want to help you do this in order to live happy and healthy.

“I’ve been working virtually with Chris for over a year now, and he is incredible.  His background in occupational therapy and his drive to always be researching new training methods, habits, personality types, and life shine through when training.  I never had a happy association with exercise until I decided to a year of training with Chris.  Because of his expert background, his mantra isn’t “push through the pain,” but instead “train for long term strength”. His consistency, optimism, positive affirmations, and ability to create a safe space all kept me invested in myself, and a year later I’m so excited to continue working with him for years to come.  I have seen my physique and mood change as I’ve progress down this path to a stronger me, and I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer than Chris!”

"I had an on and off relationship with weight training for most of my young adult life. Despite the willingness to train, it was a challenge and almost impossible to see results in muscle development. My fitness journey finally turned the corner once I met Chris, who provided me with invaluable insight on macronutrient goals, in addition to incredibly detailed instructions on the execution and benefits of various compound lifts and movements. I've never felt more balanced and explosive as an athlete. I'm excited to know that with Chris' training, this is only the beginning of a sustainable and rewarding journey of training my body to surpass levels of performance I had thought was previously impossible!"

"Following my car accident, I had multiple physical therapy sessions but I was still struggling to build strength and reduce pain without having accountability and a training plan. My son introduced me to Chris and ever since I signed up for training sessions with him, I have had consistent coaching and follow up in addition to a clear training program to guide me every step of the way. I feel stronger than ever, and my work days are easier now with less pain."
