About Christopher
I run the only training program designed specifically for men suffering from Low Testosterone and low energy. This can make putting strength and muscle on your frame not only difficult but impossible for some.
Without this protective layer of muscle (and bone density) it makes men at risk for developing a host of other problems, including increased injury susceptibility. Injuries can often be the turning point towards loss of mobility and overall health decline. So really, having a strong frame is your insurance future-proofing you to a higher quality of life.
I was first Certified as a Personal Trainer in 1998 with the International Sports Sciences Association. I later opened my own gym that specialized in boxing and Mixed Martial Arts. I went on to create arguably the world's best home heavy bag workout system and was even sponsored by Combat Sports / Ringside Boxing.
Now I specialize in helping men with low testosterone who want to workout at home, set up their own home exercise protocol. I spent 5 years developing, testing, and refining this system of training. Why did I choose this specialty? It was because I am a fellow sufferer of Low T and low energy and I needed to create a solution for myself. The system I will teach you is exactly the same system that I used and continue to use to this very day.
There is a ton of advice and other workout programs out there that work wonderfully for other people. But when you try to apply these protocols to men with Low T and low energy, it's futile. We just don't have the energy to make it work. We don't have the motivation, the drive, the recovery ability, and frankly: working out hard is now unpleasant. It used to feel great, but now it is beyond arduous... and we quit.
My unique system will get you exercising again. It will have you exercising for a YEAR straight! That is our goal. From there, you will go on to continue exercising for the rest of your life, and the reason you'll be able to do it is because of the unique system I've developed. I've eliminated everything that sucked about working out. I've gotten rid of all the friction. I've removed every barrier and obstacle. It won't take superhuman levels of energy and motivation to get thru it. You won't hate your life because you have to exercise.
And most importantly, you'll be able to slowly but surely build a base layer of strength and fitness over EVERY area of your body. You will have no weak spots; no areas of neglect. And it will be fast and easy. Relatively easy. And it's all done at home where it's super convenient. If you've ever had a goal of becoming a CONSISTENT exerciser, this is definitely the opportunity.
My favorite client story
(Won't say, for fear of my other clients thinking I'm playing favorites!) But needless to say, this client has experienced: weight loss, triglycerides way down, cholesterol down, blood pressure way down, being able to come off medications, stronger, more cardio, more empowered, able to deal with stress better and have more resiliency in life, happier, and on and on...
My Testimonials will let you know how other people feel about it.
My favorite exercise
Like my clients, I prefer exercise that is palatable (meaning I don't hate it) and easy enough that I can keep it up as a regular part of my lifestyle.
Of course, I find an activity, like tennis for example, to be a preferred exercise. However, the fact of the matter is, for men who are looking to develop a base layer of strength upon their entire body, tennis won't do it. We absolutely have to train with weights. My program makes this as easy as possible and I do it personally 5-6 days/week.
My favorite quote
"75% of success is simply showing up!"
If you simply show up to the training, you WILL get the results you're looking for. It happens 100% of the time.
My training philosophy
Here is my philosophy for my trainees: Training should begin slowly to help the body adapt, recover, and grow. I am unique in that I don't focus on "goals". The results of my training come as a natural byproduct; they don't need to be pursued directly. The only thing you need to do is show up; then results (effects) will surely show up. Most of the benefits from exercise come AND STAY as a result of making sure your LIFESTYLE now includes continual exercise. It has to become who you are.
My training experience
I started personal training by getting certified by the International Sports Science Association in the mid 1990's. I specialized in training people in proper weight training with free weights and machines. In 2005, I opened up a gym called "L.A. Boxing" which specialized in boxing, muay thai kickboxing, and weight lifting. Then I moved to Greenville and continued perfecting a "Workout at Home" exercise regimen focusing on Kickboxing using the heavy bag. I designed the System just for myself, but soon discovered it was perfect for training clients. People loved it so much that I stopped doing any other type of training and focused 100% on my Kickboxing Private Lessons.
However, over the last decade, I began working on a program to increase muscle mass and bone density to prepare for my senior years. I never intended to market it beyond myself, as it was just a personal passion project. However, I have spent a good 5 or years years perfecting this system and it is because of this extraordinary investment of time and energy that I have made the program now available to the public. Although it can help anybody, I aim to specifically help men struggling with low testosterone and low energy. The program is PERFECT for them, and they are really going to struggle finding anything else out there that they will be able to stick with.

I have never taken a Kickboxing class before but heard about this one and decided to try it out. I am just in my second week and I already love it! It is a great, all over workout, which was exactly what I was looking for. You decide on how hard you want to work out. Plus, the range of the moves you learn work out most of your muscles. The instructor is very motivating and knows what he is doing. It is a fun class and over before you know it. The group is made up of different ages, men and women, and they are fun to work out with. The groups are small so you get your personal time with the instructor. He helps you perfect the moves and motivates you to keep going.
I've been coming here for a little over a month and absolutely love it. This is not a soft workout - it's challenging and pushes you every single time, but you determine your own intensity. Every class is different, you're sweating after two rounds and you see a difference in your muscle tone immediately. The class is comprised of all age groups, athletic ability and skill levels and it really is an awesome environment! The instructor consistently makes sure your executing moves with good form, is encouraging and before you know it, the hour is gone, so are the calories and you've just learned a hell of a lot. Wish I had found this place sooner!
Chris Hinton has a fantastic program going with Kickboxing Underground. Since I started one-on-one kickboxing with Chris, I have increased energy, endurance, agility and strength--and I'm gaining muscle and losing fat. The training classes are a blast! The sessions are always fun and challenging. Chris provides instruction that is specifically designed for the individual and it's always mentally stimulating and physically demanding. He's the best trainer I've worked with, always respectful and motivating. I highly recommend kickboxing to anyone who wants to get fit.
Having Chris by my side not only with constant professional reassurance that i could do this and words of wisdom on how to overcome the mental state I had been battling for years when it came to my health and fitness, it's the icing on top of his training sessions that are well planned and a workout that not only kicks my butt, but its now a weekly anticipated workout that I actually look forward to and enjoy taking this time out for myself. It's my Healthy Treat!
I lived farther away so i could only come a few times a month but I must say I learn more from Chris about exercising and about kickboxing than I thought I ever could. Chris really helped to change my life for the better, in more ways than he'll ever know. At first I thought he would get disappointed in me when I wasnt catching on to the techniques correctly. But no, he never showed impatience although he sometimes very tough. But I needed it. I will never find a personal trainer like him again for this I am sure. Chris, you live long in my heart my friend. Bless you!
I'm so thankful to have crossed paths with Christopher Hinton. I struggle with the consistency of working out. I have tried gym memberships, workout partners, even setting up my own home gym. All of these i have failed on my own time and time again. It wasn't until i was lucky enough to find his ad for kickboxing and training that gave me a new outlook and WANT to exercise, while actually being excited about it. Highly, highly, highly recommend Christopher!
Best personal trainer I've ever had by far! Chris always seemed to know exactly how hard to push me and when to make me slow down. But what I really loved most is the kickboxing workout he put me through. I've never had so much fun but worked so hard at the same time! I only went 4 sessions before I lost my job and had to cut back on expenses, but if I could afford it Id be a customer for life! Hope this review helps Chris.
Most fun workout I ever done. I went through the 6 week boot camp one time. Each workout had me doing something new. I would have done more but Chris moved to So. Carolina. I liked it because I learned something at every session. Chris is a top notch trainer, thats for sure. In every way. Thanks
I love this workout!!! I had never even donned a pair of gloves before, so I kinda felt like a fish out of water for the first few sessions. But Chris is so patient and never makes me feel like he's disappointed in me. Just the opposite. He gives me so much encouragement, I love it. What's different about me? Well, lets see: I lost 18 pounds so far, my clothes fit finally!, I actually notice I have muscles (I luv it!), but the biggest thing is probably the stress I relieve. It's a complete stress dump. I feel soooo much better now.
By far the best personal trainer I've ever had! I came to lose weight and get my body toned up. His kickboxing workout was exactly what I needed. It's not just my body that looks better, my mind just FEELS better. My husband says it's been a miracle for me. ha ha I am still very overweight and I realize it's going to take time to reach my end goal, but so far so good. (Still can't believe I'm doing kickboxing!!!) This was so NOT ME! lol But Chris makes me feel like a champ and like "I can do this!"
This person is one of the best ! You can secure your efforts and focus with his instruction , coaching to gain maximum results!
This is a fantastic workout all around! It's fun to do and I can feel the effectiveness of the workout. I have enjoyed seeing my progress in learning the moves and getting better at the combinations. As a bonus, I feel more confident in being able to protect myself from a dangerous situation, even though this is not a self defense class. Christopher is very professional and helpful in building good techniques and fight habits. I highly recommend this class.
I'm so thankful to have Crossed Paths with Christopher Hinton. I struggle with the consistency of working out. I have tried gym memberships, workout partners, even setting up my own home gym.

It’s my Healthy Treat! Thank you for taking the time to help me see that exercise is not a chore but a lifestyle that I want for myself. Thank you Chris for all your hard work and skill that you put into your training that I have been benefiting from and has changed my whole outlook on my health! I couldn’t have done it without you!
