I’ve had many trainers and can say that Chris is excellent. She understands my PT goals, physical abilities and any injuries and tailors a focused workout each time we meet. I’ve made huge progress since training with her. Recommend highly. More...

I had the pleasure of having an induction with Chris last week after having a few conversations over the phone. Chis has always been very attentive and transparent, as well as having a vast knowledge in anatomy and physiology. It is very refreshing to speak with someone who can help you to understand what the root cause of an issue may be, which helps to slowly make changes in your every day life without feeling overwhelmed. I am very excited to see how well I do with her influence. More...

I was looking to do some PT sessions while visiting London this summer and decided to try CC Academy as it was in my area;
it turned out to be a fortuitous choice, and I have continued to train with Chris online since leaving London!
Chris is a patient, inspiring and motivating teacher, impressively systematic and rigorous in her approach. Having done two months of training (2-3 sessions a week) so far, I am stronger, more flexible, more energetic than I’ve been for many years; mental healthwise, it really helps to know that I’ll be optimally prepared for my upcoming hip replacement surgery, and that I’m progressing towards my ultimate goal of managing and combatting my lumbar spine osteoporosis.
For me what sets Chris apart from other physios and gym trainers I’ve encountered is that she’s very much a teacher as well as a trainer. This means among other things that she’ll happily answer the questions I tend to throw at her as we work out, actively encouraging discussion and feedback.
In summary, very highly recommended!

I have just started having online personal training sessions with Chris but I have already seen improvements in my hip mobility and my back pain has eased. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone considering having PT sessions. More...

Chris is a really excellent trainer. She’s very knowledgeable about the anatomy so knows exactly what exercises to do to target the pains I was getting in my back/shoulder/neck. I’ve felt so much better since she started training me and been really enjoying the sessions. Would highly recommend her. More...

Chris reached out after I posted a bark on here looking for a personal trainer to help me with deconditioning and mobility issues.

Chris is an absolutely fantastic PT. She goes the extra mile, and puts you at ease, particularly when you lack self confidence when it comes to exercise. Shes gives you comprehensive homework and checks in regularly. I couldn’t recommend her anymore. More...

It’s been brilliant training with Chris - she’s been great at changing the workout every week to keep it interesting and challenging. Boxing has been a highlight and has made me want to start boxing classes. I needed a change with my workout routine and Chris has been an excellent PT! More...
Roxana

I’ve had a wonderful session with Chris. I immediately felt comfortable with her and it was very clear that she tailored her training to my individual needs. Chris is a very knowledgeable trainer and I feel that I am in very capable hands. I am really looking forward to the rest of my journey in training with Chris. I know this will boost, not only my fitness levels, but also my confidence as well. More...
Lesley
Personal Trainers
Chris was friendly, thorough and knowledgeable. She explained everything really well and took a holistic approach which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend her.
Kerri
Personal Trainers
Thank god for Chris. I was so reluctant to get a PT even though I'd considered it for years, as I always thought some of them were judgemental or so results driven that they forgot how to communicate. I wrote up my wish list for training, what I wanted to work on and my health conditions and Chris got in touch. She listened, she truly cares and she very clearly knows what she's talking about. I am recovering from an injury and she's been in touch whenever I need her, created a plan that I can work on for now and just made my mental health so much better for it. Plus the burn from such an easy low-hiit workout was great. Can't wait to work with her full time! More...

Chris listens and understands my specific needs and tailors her very skilled approach to ensure I gain the right results from my training.
She is always kindly pushing me forward to reach my goals and we have excellent conversations about activities between sessions and eating the right foods.
She is always prepared, on time and dependable. I’d highly recommend her.

Chris made our work out really fun, engaging and varied. I particularly loved the boxing! Chris is warm, friendly and put us at ease. Would highly recommend!
Jeremy Kareken
Whenever in London and I need to get moving, the answer is Chris. Careful with these old bones but works up a good sweat and builds quality strength through a thorough warmup, boxing, resistance training, and a solid stretch/core dessert.
Barbara

I had my first training with Chris, she is very knowledgeable and really listens to your needs. She cares and makes you feel at ease right away. Her workout was though but fun. I can't wait to fully start my journey to a better version of me with her! More...

I have had fantastic work-outs with Chris. She has a wealth of knowledge and understands the anatomy really well. She took all of my concerns on board and pushed me hard without stressing my joints. Each work-out was fun and kept me motivated. Chris's workouts got me back in my jeans - it doesn't get any better than that! More...

I knew that Chris was the right trainer from our first meeting. I have had several trainers in the past. So I knew what I was looking for.
We have just finished our 10th session and I’ve paid for another 10.
Highly recommended.

Chris has been great to work with, and knew what exercises and formula to offer to tailor to personal and professional needs, she has accompanied me through an injury, and I have seen improvements in my overall body mobility as intended.

Jo
Personal Trainers
Having posted on Bark for a PT, Chris contacted me and following a trial session we are 7 sessions into our initial 10 session. Chris has provided me with a programme I am confident with while pushing me further than I would exercising alone! Progress has been made and I am very working with Chris! Would recommend More...
Christie-leigh
Personal Trainers
CC Academy is a joy to work with, Chrys was very professional and took care in understanding what training I need to reach my goals. The session was fun but still pushed me further than I would usually push myself, and Chrys explained a lot of why she was using a particular exercise in the training, as well as made sure my posture was correct at all times so I got the best out of the work out. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a coach who has a passion for exercise and the knowledge to back it up. More...
Keron
Personal Trainers
My partner and I decided to seek professional assistance in our quest to lose weight, and develop a healthier lifestyle. Chris made the process so much simpler by explaining how to enjoy eating what we like in better portions and at more useful times of the day. She uses a variety of exercises and stretches that motivated us without feeling overwhelmed. In just a few sessions we felt the difference. Highly recommended. More...

Harriet

I had my first session with Chris a couple of weeks ago and she was fantastic! Super knowledgeable and attentive with form and making sure I completed the excerises to the best of my ability while making sure I do not injure myself. She also provided all the knowledge as to WHY we do certain movements and the importance of what we are doing - unlike other trainers. Altogether, she was fabulous and super personable and chatty, loved working with her and continue to feel great after our session! Thank you Chris! X More...

Melanie
Chris offered me a free trail PT session in exchange for a review on bark. We talked & exchanged messages ahead of our session. She was punctual and enthusiastic. She shared with me her background in fitness and performance. Our session was a classic PT workout . Warm up - upper body then lower body & core. I have decided not to continue with PT with Chris but join a gym instead. It was great to meet you & I wish you lots of success with your upcoming award. More...

Agnese
Personal Trainers
Chris is simply amazing.
I had a foot operation a year ago and I was feeling not myself anymore. I put on weight and my body became very weak since I spent so much time at home recovering.
Chris has picked me up and she has been encouraging me so much but never with pressure. After every work out we do together I feel better and stronger. She is so knowledgable and I have started to notice a big change in my body. I have never liked gyms so Chris comes to my house and she is always happy to work around my schedule.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to make a positive change to their lifestyle!

Thank you for motivate me everyday!
Very, very happy with Chris

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
First and foremost, by listening to them carefully.
I pay attention their goals, what their medical/injury/health history is, their current lifestyle and their exercise "likes" and "dislikes" - this vital information gives me a foundation to figure out how we could work together to create a program that is SAFE, balanced, engaging, and likely for the client to stick to - and what will benefit them in the long-term as well as the short-term.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Having a fun and varied workout routine week-by-week which follows the principles of the particular training regime, but isn't exactly the same as the previous week - this prevents us from getting bored, and more-likely to stick to the routine.
What do you love most about your job?
Having the privilege of working with people from all corners of life; and whatever their background/lifestyle/health and medical history, having that joy of seeing them proceed toward living their lives as the fittest and healthiest versions of themselves.
Every client I have ever had has inspired me in some way... whilst being their health/strength guide, they always have something in return to teach me too. Part of living life to the max for me, means never stopping learning, and in this job I have found I am.consitantly doing just that.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I adore sports, fitness, the martial arts, food (healthy and every other kind), so I figured becoming a fitness professional was a natural stream to go by. I adore having my own business for all sorts of reasons, one of them being, I am not too great at being told what to do or how to do my job by someone else. I love being my own boss, and I believe so many others can identify with this thought.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I am 110% committed to creating a healthy lifestyle plan that is wholly based on their individual needs, schdules, potential-lifestyle-obstacles... any difficulty a client may have I will work my hardest to find a solution. I believe their is a solution for every problem.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Absolutely. Due to the current work convention that have understandably been trusted upon us, most of my clients are online.
I operate through Zoom, Skype, Facebook video-messanger.
All have proved simple, user-friendly and drama-free for a techtard like me ?
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
The clients that insist I see them in person, obviously I only see in the great outdoors.
I have a month's supply of antibacterial wipes and anti-virus hand-gel in my car always.
Obviously, all equipment I bring including dumbbells and boxing gloves are sanitised before AND after every session, and also when gone back into the car.
I wear a mask too and even though have always reminded as a safety precaution, have never needed to tell a client to keep a safe distance, since the ones I have worked with are incredibly safety-orientated and switched on.
Personal Training
I offer one-to-one, bespoke training aimed at creating safe, stable, yet boundary-pushing and fun workouts to suit each individual with their needs.
I am well aware that medical/health history, exercises likes and dislikes and of course, long-term goals and fitness aspirations are all crucial in creating a program that you will adhere to and enjoy!
Exercises programs are focused on "whole-body" workouts (working with your own bodyweight and free-weights).
As a trained martial-artist, I offer some MMA-based training circuits and boxing too.
My workouts are aimed at creating cardio-vascular fitness, muscular endurance and core strength, arming you with functional fitness that will enable you to breeze through your daily activities such as gardening, carrying your shopping or picking up your child .
I am here (virtually and textually, outside of our personal meetings) for round-the-clock nutritional advice, and will work with you on creating a nutrition plan that fits around your schedule, and won't dull your life or kidnap you away from your favourite snacks altogether.
A few subtle, yet highly-beneficial tweaks are all you need for a gradual, but compelling difference to your ultimate fitness goals.
