Chris originally grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and quickly found a passion for sports and fitness by watching players like Walter Payton and Michael Jordan star for the Chicago Bears and Bulls championship teams. Observing athletes perform at this level led Chris to integrate himself into team sports, playing football, baseball, basketball, and soccer. Chris moved to Denver for an internship opportunity at Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain, where he covered games for CU, CSU, the Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets, and the Colorado Rockies. This competitive environment drove Chris towards athletic coaching and training, culminating in his BA from Northeastern IL University, focusing on teaching, coaching, communication, and physical education. With a career in the health and fitness industry spanning over 25 years, with almost 20 of those years focusing on personal training and coaching, Chris takes a personalized approach to training. He begins by listening to and understanding your goals, helping you identify weaknesses, and then working with you to meet your fitness and physical health objectives. Training with empathy and attention to detail allows his clients to get the most out of every workout experience, positively impacting their bodies and lives. When Chris is not training, he loves to hit the mountains for hiking, skiing, and going for runs with his Hungarian Vizsla, Princess Leia.
