Each session is geared specifically toward the individual client. Prior to our first session, I will contact the client to determine a baseline of information, including: past athletic/fitness history, injuries (past or present), current goals and any other pertinent information. These in-depth conversations will help in tailoring our sessions. Once we have established a starting point, I will design a detailed training program consisting primarily of exercises geared toward their fitness goals, keeping in mind what I learned in our initial assessment. A client can expect a challenging yet fundamentally customized workout designed for their needs.
I pride myself on being “hands-on” so don’t be surprised if I jump into help motivate and push you. As a coach, I am not doing my job if the client is not fully challenged. We can either coach a behavior or we can accept a behavior and with that comes an utmost and keen eye to the little things (DETAILS). With that, I GUARANTEE A HIGH DEGREE OF TRAINING.
Sessions will include: a dynamic warm-up, corrective exercises (if necessary), strength training (based on individual's needs/wants), HIIT to improve cardio and muscle endurance, and a cool down/stretching. The individual just has to show up for the hour and everything will be taken care of...assessment, coaching, strength program, stretching, and more. Nutritional advice will be included as well to maximize results.
Results Guaranteed!
***Please note: there is a 24 hour cancellation notice in order to not be charged a complete session***

Client Reviews
Raj (CoachUp client)
Chris was awesome. We got there a few minutes early, he jumped right into the session. Very clear direction, my son said he felt material improvement in just one hour. He gave us great advice on cross-training too.
Danielle (CoachUp client)
Great session with Coach Chris. He immediately noticed some techniques my son needed to improve upon and by the end of the first session, his shot and footwork improved. Highly recommend Coach Chris. My son is looking to his next session.
Eastern (CoachUp client)
Chris is an amazing trainer. He encouraged me to push myself to go harder and I needed that. Showed me correct posture and broke down what muscles the exercises were targeting. I feel great and pumped to work on my body goals. If you’re looking for a trainer to take you to the next level. Definitely book with this one.

Knowledge and professional. My son really likes his coaching style.

Coach Chris has been a tremendous help to our son. He is gaining confidence and eager to work on development areas that he was hesitant to tackle before Coach Chris.
Daniel (CoachUp client)
Chris’ session was super helpful and comprehensive. I learned a lot within only 1 hour and felt really improved after practicing all the moves. Would definitely look forward to more sessions!

Peter (CoachUp client)
Coach Chris is a great coach! He taught my son many things which included dribbling, shooting, and endurance. We first start with dribbling drills in the first class then we moved on to more movement based things like layups then they practiced shooting forms which is a thing my son isn't good at. He gave affective homework assignments to do at home that was both useful and as I said effective. Great coach overall!
Sue (CoachUp client)
Coach Chris is preparing me for my Cadet Fitness Assessment, a requirement for admissions to the Air Force Academy. I’ve been a bit idle for the last few months, but he has motivated me to push my limits and gain the strength and endurance I need. He has a friendly approach and engages in conversation, while still putting me through his customized routines. I was feeling it the first few times, but it’s worth it. I strongly recommend Coach Chris, especially if you are missing your athletic routines due to Covid 19. His coaching will also help me when I, hopefully, return to track and field in the spring and varsity hurdles.
Joanie Chan (Testimonial)
Creative, motivational, knowledgeable expert, and challenging are just a few adjectives I would use to describe Coach Chris. He has been working with me for months and I have never felt better. His workouts are creative yet keep me engaged and challenged each time. I highly recommend him for anyone wanting to achieve a fitness goal.
