More About Coach Chris
Dr. Chris Johnson is a Human Performance Coach striving towards physical prowess, personal confidence, and leadership. Dr. Johnson believes in attaining a vigorous life through daily improvements. Pairing sport and fitness training with personal excellence and team leadership research, Coach Johnson is excited to see you reach your potential!
He has been the captain of both his high school and collegiate teams and qualified for the Boston Marathon numerous times. His top marathon finish is 4th place overall (Hyannis 2009 & 2010) and half marathon finish is 2nd place (131 Boston Marathon 2010 & Cape Ann Half Marathon 2011).
Chris is a co-founder of Boston Strength & Conditioning, LLC and was the former Head Strength & Conditioning Coordinator and Assistant Cross Country and Track Coach at Lasell College prior to pursuing his entrepreneurial dream of running his own fitness business full-time. He is also a college lecturer and an officer in the Army National Guard.
Even though Chris played Basketball and Football as a kid, his real passion was in mountain biking, swimming, in-line skating, and skateboarding for hours on end.
· Once in high school Chris focused on his running career for one of the most prestigious running programs in the state, Gloucester High School.
· During College, Chris focused strongly on his studies in Sports Science which in turn helped him earn numerous records and awards while there. Some of which he still holds to today.
· After graduation, Chris kept his athletic career alive by joining team RaceMenu/mix1 for whom he has since run some of his fastest times to date.
My goal isn't just to make you the best athlete you can be, but to be the best version of you possible. Each session is individually tailored to your needs. I blend years of sports science research with years of leadership and personal development research to provide you with an all-around experience you will not find anywhere else!

Client Reviews
Kaeghan K. (Testimonial)
Chris has a very unique way of approaching ones level of strength and conditioning. This approach was not only helpful in training me for soccer, but it is an approach that I strive to adopt into my everyday life. He is very honest with me; if I am not performing to the best of my abilities than he will not let me settle for it. His knowledge of the human body and the way that all the different muscles interact with both the brain and the heart is unmatchable. Along with his nutritional knowledge, I can guarantee that Chris will push you to achieve your goals; all you have to do is figure out what you want.
Bill J. (Testimonial)
Chris has been my trainer for almost a year now and I have been extremely satisfied with his knowledge, work ethic, and commitment to helping me succeed with my goals. After successfully running the Boston Marathon, I endured two challenging sports injuries that had been keeping me on the sidelines. Once I started working with Chris though, he developed a custom plan to rejuvenate my legs (and spirit) and get me back in gear. Definitely one of his biggest strengths is this innate ability to combine his vast experience and technical know-how with his understanding for the different body types and issues of his clients so he can be truly effective, not just preach a one-size fits all workout. Without Chris, I'd be back on the couch - Thanks for the help and coaching!!
David L. (Testimonial)
Coach Chris is an ideal representation of a top-level trainer and a one-man think tank of fitness knowledge. I am currently a manager at a gym and his client. I spent four years in the military and have since become somewhat of a couch potato, uninterested in fitness. After sustaining a few injuries that threatened my daily comfort, I decided to try personal training. I was in a professional position to evaluate the quality of personal trainers and Coach Chris was by far the superior choice. When trying to think of a single word to describe everything that he is, I chose "connoisseur." Coach Chris has the ability to evaluate the needs of a client, use his intuition, which is backed by multiple degrees of education, and has a thorough understanding of the needs and expectations of each client. When you have a question of anything in fitness, skip the Siri and go straight to Chris.
