With a background in physical therapy and chiropractic care, I take an outside the box approach to training. My methodologies always consider the risk for injury and I go the extra mile to help reduce existing pain and to prevent future injury.

Dealing with health issues has made it difficult to trust personal trainers or even physical therapists. But with compassion and understanding, and a lot of perseverance, Chris has shown me I can get stronger and feel better. He has worked with me at my pace and has always been up to the challenge of accommodating my complex physical health. Thanks to Chris, I find myself stronger with more energy and even able to dance again. More...

We tried personal training for our family to augment our physical therapy for recent injuries. Chris not only helped us with our PT exercises but proved we could feel even better if we trained a few times a week for only 30 minutes. Training with Chris is now an essential part of our week and well being. It's turning back time for my wife and I and making a difference in our 21 yr old daughter. Thanks, Chris! More...

Chris is a knowledgeable and personable trainer. As a non-athletic person, I was really nervous about starting an exercise program but Chris quickly put me at ease. He is always positive and encouraging. Chris responds quickly to any signs of pain and is able to immediately adjust exercises and he also makes sure to correct my form if it may lead to injury. I have been working with Chris for almost a year and have had no injuries or pain issues (besides the expected muscle soreness, of course). I’ve definitely made more progress than I ever could have made on my own and feel stronger than I ever have. I’d highly recommend Chris to anyone who is interested in working with a trainer. More...

Chris is a very knowledgeable trainer and I would highly recommend working with him. He takes the time to work through any issues and explains things in a way that makes sense. I had issues with form, muscle imbalances and tightness and he has helped me work through all of those to competently lift. I now feel confident on being able to lift without causing injury. More...

I’ve been training with Chris for about six months now and I couldn’t be happier with the results! My strength and conditioning have improved significantly thanks to his expert guidance and tailored workout plans. He is incredibly knowledgeable and always has a modification ready if there’s an exercise I can’t do or if I’m experiencing any pain. His focus on injury prevention has been invaluable to my progress. What I love the most is that he changes the program every week so it’s always challenging and fun. He listens carefully and remembers my specific needs and incorporates them into my program. His understanding nature and genuine passion for helping people reach their goals make him an outstanding trainer. Not only is he professional and dedicated, but he also makes every session enjoyable with his fun and motivating personality. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals with the support of an amazing trainer! More...

Been working with Chris at Kinetic for the last months. Chris has done a great job in listening to my goals and pushing me towards them every time we work together. I appreciate his desire for me to be the strongest person i can be while ensuring that I am doing that in a safe and responsible way. More...
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
We start by assessing the clients abilities, addressing anything that could hinder progress, and create a plan based on those factors. We set the foundation within the first two weeks of training and increase intensity as pain decreases and the clients ability increases. Technique is everything at the beginning and makes up the core of the foundation, so that is the primary focus at the start.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
There is no secret. You get out of training what you put into training. The one thing I always tell my clients is that this "dream body" doesn't come easily or quickly if done correctly and patience is a requisite to accomplishing fitness goals. Follow the programming, treat your body well outside of training, and the rest will come.
What do you love most about your job?
During my tenure I have seen so many people with aches, pains and motivational blockades. Through my experience with these clients, I've helped them over these hurdles. Seeing someone either meet a long-term goal, or seeing them get out of the cycle of chronic pain is a rewarding experience for me.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The gym I worked for in Vancouver, Washington recently closed and forced everyone who worked there to find new opportunities. I enjoyed my time there, but I realized my full potential was in going out on my own. My clients were left out to dry and so was I. I do not want them or I to ever be put in a position like that again, so I am taking more control and responsibility for my clients training and my well-being.
Why should our clients choose you?
I focus on both acute and chronic issues. I have a wealth of knowledge in the area of pain management and rebuilding confidence. Not only will you find that training with me can create accountability and consistency, I will help you reach fitness goals pain-free. I have worked with physical therapists and studied closely with practitioners in the SW Washington and Portland area. I have also worked along side some of the very best personal trainers with 8+ years of experience.
