Bio

Chris pursued the career of personal training because he wanted to combine his passions of fitness and healthy lifestyle with his desire to help, inspire and EMPOWER people. Chris strongly believes fitness is fun and is not a chore but rather a lifestyle. Chris likes to incorporate that principle in his workouts by competing in mud runs, hiking the incline in Manitou Springs, climbing the stairs at Red Rocks and will keep his competitive spirit alive with his first kettlebell competition in 2014.
