Chris’s Success Stories

Chris always listens to my concerns, and works within my limitations. My results have been tremendous! I have increased strength, stamina, and endurance. He is very encouraging and works hard to advance me to a land-based fitness program [from aquatics only]. I highly recommend Chris.

Chris is a wonderful trainer who is very patient. I love the Aquakinetics workout. My back feels great!
Frankie B.
Chris is an extremely attentive trainer who provides constant motivation. Previously, I struggled to maintain a consistent exercise routine, but Chris developed a program that works for me. Although I have not been training with him for long, already he has made a huge positive impact. Thank you, Chris.

This has been the best fitness experience ever. Chris has helped me so much. I have no words to describe how thankful I am. He is always there to motivate me, convincing me I’ll be able to achieve my goals. We have become really good friends. I’m very happy to work out at the Center and have Chris as a trainer.

I have been training with Chris for about two years. He has taken a great deal of time to understand my abilities and limitations. He continuously determines the best course of action to advance my health and fitness level. Chris is knowledgeable, committed, and consistent, all with a great sense of humor. He inspires and challenges me to achieve our mutually agreed upon goals. I plan to work with Chris for a long time. He motivates me to be my best.
