Over the years, he’s helped more than 2,000 people get healthier and fitter. Plus, he’s the most effective and inspiring personal trainer in San Diego, and he knows how to keep you motivated. On top of that, for weight loss, building strength and training after physical therapy, Chris is the most knowledgeable and experienced one-on-one trainer in San Diego, and he coaches with real compassion. But his goal goes beyond hitting fitness goals. He wants to teach his clients, inspire them and build healthy habits that last a lifetime.

Chris knows nutrition, flexibility and mobility, movement prep, powerlifting, and bodyweight training for athletic development inside and out. His clients cover every fitness level, from beginner to advanced, and every age group, from teenagers to older adults.

His career history includes launching San Diego’s first fitness boot camp in May of 2007. As the city’s fitness leader, he paved the way for others, and over one hundred boot camps opened within the next year. Then, in January of 2010, Chris opened CrossFit 619, San Diego’s 6th affiliate. It quickly became the highest-ranked affiliate in the city for taking intermediate athletes to advanced and elite fitness levels. 619 also became known for its strength training, especially for women, and sent two female athletes to regionals in 2012 and 2014. After nine years of balancing personal training and group classes, Chris went back to strictly one-on-one training in 2016, choosing quality over quantity. That’s where he truly believes he makes the biggest impact on people’s lives.

Chris takes leading by example and making an impact in the community seriously, especially as a father to his two daughters. Through his own actions, he teaches them discipline, perseverance and self-care. That’s because he believes that if they look after their physical and mental health, his girls will grow up with real confidence, a strong work ethic and the ability to handle challenges with grace and resilience.

His list of accolades and credentials is long and spans a 30-year career in the fitness industry. Chris was voted San Diego’s Best Personal Trainer by several publications. He also got national attention after being featured on NBC’s Today Show with Kathy Lee and Hoda, Inside Edition, and plenty of local broadcasts for his unique training method and chiseled physique. Today, Chris is still a local fitness celebrity and an advisor to local media on health and fitness issues.
