  • Chris grew up as a multi sport athlete, with a strong focus in hockey. In addition to this, much of his free time was spent in the back country on trails, and paddling. Later as an adult, he discovered Strength sports. This reinvigorated his appetite for being competitive where he began competing in Weightlifting, and learning about complex strength programming.

    In his time in sport, Chris has suffered several injuries of varying severity. Being told he may never be able to fully recover made him determined to learn everything he could, so that he could return to a high level of performance. This led him towards learning about the body, movement, and corrective exercises.

    In Chris’s own life, he has a philosophy of being an athlete at any age. With his training, athletic background, and journey through injuries, this has given him a unique insight on how to help others. This led him to becoming a Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning coach.

    Dysfunction, fragility, and loss of mobility most often arises when we avoid movement. Because of this, Chris believes in the importance of practicing movement, building strength and resiliency to be the best versions of ourselves for both today, and tomorrow. Whether it’s increasing performance, or improving ones quality of life, he has a passion for helping others achieve their goals.
