USA Weightlifting Level 2 Coach
CrossFit Level 2 certification
NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist
M.S. in Exercise Science
Chris grew up a multi-sport athlete, but baseball was his favorite before he found Olympic weightlifting, which remains his training focus today. Coaching since 2013, he holds an M.S. in Exercise Science, his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist credential through the NSCA, and level 2 coaching certifications in USA Weightlifting and CrossFit. He specializes in helping people build strength, refine technique on the lifts, and get better at their sport.
I coach because I like helping people improve themselves. Whether you want to build strength, pick up the lifts for the first time, or train to get better at your sport, my job is to help you get there. Training with me is hard, but it's never hard just for the sake of it, and every session should leave you a little more capable than you walked in. I've coached everyone from youth athletes to adults in their 70s who just want to be strong enough to get up and down off the ground to garden or to travel in retirement without their body holding them back. What I care about most is teaching you to move well and progress with a purpose. If you want a coach who treats your training like it has a point, then this is the right place for you.
