Chris has a passion for promoting health and wellness, and he enjoys pushing the body to its limits. After a major car accident in 2022 left him with ruptured/bulging discs in his lower back as well as torn rotator cuffs, he searched for alternative healing to aid his body’s recovery avoiding the use of pain medication or surgery. He returned to school to gain a better understanding of the body, and he earned an associate degree in Exercise Science, a 200-hour Yoga Instructor certification, and a Level 2 certification in Kinesio Taping. He developed a new appreciation for yoga which provided strength, balance, and flexibility throughout his recovery, and this new passion helped him to transition from powerlifting to bodybuilding. Chris’s goal is to help each client develop their flexibility so that they can live a healthier lifestyle.
