About Chris

With several years of experience as a personal trainer and training myself, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a holistic approach to fitness. My background includes working closely with chiropractors and physical therapists, as well as serving as a PT aid. This diverse experience has shaped my belief that mastering proper form is crucial not only for achieving today’s fitness goals but also for preventing injuries and ensuring long-term success: form is foundational.

I prioritize the immediate needs of my clients while keeping their overarching objectives in focus. Whether it's pain here, or a twinge there, that is always my first priority. Training is secondary to the hurdles presented by pain. My approach blends meticulous attention to technique with a forward-thinking mindset, aiming to enhance both present performance and future potential. Whether you're starting out on your fitness journey or struggling to reach the next level, I’m committed to guiding you with expertise and dedication.

I have several clients that present with pain in the shoulders, hips, knees, all the way to the foot. At Kinetic Personal Training, we find the root of the problem over the course of several sessions and develop a plan to counter those nagging chronic issues. We figure out what types of exercises are appropriate for any given issue and tackle those issues first and foremost. Once a client feels confident in their abilities, we naturally progress toward their short-term and eventually long term goals. It’s a marathon, but in the end my clients leave pain free and feeling accomplished.

Cleaned up my deadlift form within one session, felt low back pain for several years as well and after 1 month I haven't felt my low back issues at all!

Chris is very dedicated to his clients' health and progress. He is also very knowledgeable in both body mechanics and nutrition. He pays attention to the little things which some trainers might not which pushes you to your limits but you're not at risk for injury. Simply put Chris is the best!

Chris is seriously the best! He keeps us laughing, keeps us motivated, and somehow makes getting our butts kicked actually fun. He knows exactly when to push us a little harder, and we always leave feeling accomplished… and occasionally questioning whether our legs will work the next day. Highly recommend!

I’ve worked with multiple trainers before but Chris is the first one who actually listens to what I actually want to achieve in my fitness journey. His programming has you specifically in mind, even when life gets busy. I've made so much progress in the few short months of working with him and will continue because he is so knowledgeable with everything when it comes to fitness.

I’ve been training with Chris for 7 months and it’s made a huge difference vs working out on my own. What been best is how much he actually tailors each session to me. He takes my goals seriously and adjusts workouts around my physical limitations instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all program. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, always able to explain the why behind an exercise and quick to modify anything that doesn’t feel right for my body. I always leave feeling challenged but never overworked or at risk of injury. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who actually listens and adapts.

Chris is seriously awesome! He’s really easy to work with, knows what he’s doing, and does a good job pushing you without making you feel like you’re dying. He’s also really good at explaining things and making sure you’re doing everything correctly. I’ve really enjoyed working with him and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer!

I couldn’t recommend Chris enough! I have been hurt/injured for sometime and the gym was hard to go to and do what felt okay during and after. Chris listens, he gets creative, he takes care of what’s going on me without judgement! Extremely knowledgeable, not just in the normal gym knowledge, but your overall body and why things work and don’t work! It’s not always about how much you can lift, and to get through the session, it’s about being able to move without pain, and having a great quality of life! Train with him and consider yourself lucky!

Working with Chris was a great experience. I came without any work out background. He took the time to find out what my goal was and adjusted the training sessions to fit what I wanted. If you are looking for a personal trainer who knows his stuff and motivates you, he's your guy.

Chris has helped me so much over the past few months! I have an autoimmune disease and for the past 15+ years I’ve been in 24/7 pain and it has been very hard for me to be active and workout without being in even worse pain and I had given up on losing all the weight I’ve gained over the years. I’m sooo glad I found Chris because he has been able to work with me and find exercises and made workout programs that I have been able to do with minimal pain and if something does hurt we change it to something else. I finally am starting to feel more confident in myself and I feel the strongest I’ve been in years. Chris has also helped me in other ways like trying to help me get rid of a bad migraine. I would definitely recommend Chris if you are looking for a trainer!

I spent 4 months with a trainer before Chris and made little to no progress. It made me think that just reversing 20 years of a sedentary lifestyle would take the rest of my life, and, while I didn’t mind the idea of a journey, it just felt like everyone else was meeting their goals faster. Then that trainer left and I met Chris. He pushes me hard and efficiently each workout, knowing exactly the routine he wants to put me through each session before I even walk through the door. He does an excellent job of not wasting even a minute of the time we have, usually having lifts for me to do while I’m recovering from other lifts. Before him I didn’t realize exactly how effective just a 30 minute workout can be, but now I can see the goal I need to strive for each and every day at the gym, and the quick progress that comes from that kind of intensity. Thanks, Chris!
