My perception of a weightlifting studio has completely changed thanks to Coach Chris. I told him right off about my apprehensions and he immediately made me feel very comfortable and at ease by showing interest in my personal life and goals. I can tell he is listening and cares.He constantly challenges me and pushes me to my limits. I am very surprised and happy with the dramatic changes to my body and self confidence. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a personal trainer that will help you achieve long lasting results.

“Chris is a top notch trainer! I contacted him with specific goals in mind and a short time to achieve those goals. I have no experience lifting but have been an avid runner. He went above and beyond to help me reach those goals but more importantly I learned a great deal during the process. Chris is highly educated and that along with his personal experience and time in the business really set him apart. His style is genuine, encouraging, educational and professional. I enjoyed my time so much that I got my 14 year old son in the gym. Chris quickly adapted to our teen and it has been a very rewarding experience. Chris came highly recommended to me and I would highly recommend him to others.”
I was looking to lift weights for fun and a good workout and I found a great and caring coach. I am so much stronger now with programming that Chris designs for me so that I make gains without injury and I feel successful. I have a small home gym, I've worked out in garage gyms, globo gyms, CrossFit and lots of other styles. I make better progress both in my fitness and in technique when I have someone who works with me specifically on cues/confidence/technique. Chris is a total professional and I appreciate what he does for individual coaching clients like me to help make faster, safer and better progress toward fitness goals.

“Chris is a great teacher and motivator. He is very patient and he makes sure I am properly doing the exercises with good form. I have never been one to enjoy working out with other people in fear of being judged. However, I have no issue here. Chris has great communication and is a down to earth dude. I am happy with the results thus far and look forward to any future progress.”
I cannot say enough about Chris and his professionalism. It’s intimidating to walk into a private weightlifting gym for the first time. Chris is so calm and puts you right at ease, he is non judgmental and inspires motivation in you. Do not get me wrong he makes you work but it is amazing to watch yourself transform into a strong human being no matter your size or shape.
I used to have to visit my chiropractor because my ribs would go out. I’ve been to the Chiro once since working out with him and that had nothing to do with my back. My core is so strong now, it’s amazing. I can do lunges with my back leg elevated. Who knew?!

“Chris is a wonderful coach. I originally came joined two years ago for help with fixing my overall lifting technique and start training Olympic lifts. Chris gave me some extra attention initially to get familiar with the Olympic movements and is responsible for significantly improving my weightlifting form and performance. He provides specific, actionable feedback without overwhelming beginners and programs just the right amount of “suck” into each workout.”
I finally have a place where I don't feel judged, and I have someone to help and support me while achieving my goals. My goal is to be strong for my young kids. I want to be able to keep up with them as they get older. I want to be an example of a strong woman for them. Chris is helping me achieve the body I've always wanted. He's there to help me lift correctly so I don't injure myself. He's also there to push me to the next level when my mind tells me I might not be ready. Most important, he's my personal cheerleader when I think I can't do one more rep. I highly recommend Coach Chris!!

“The Corvallis Strength Training Studio stands out as a great private workout facility, and Chris, the trainer, is an expert in his field. My decision to start training with Coach Chris stemmed from a desire for a conveniently located gym near my office, but what I’ve gained far exceeds my initial expectations.
The personalized attention and one-on-one training sessions have contributed significantly to my progress. Despite not being a dedicated weight lifter, Chris has tailored a program for me that focuses on enhancing my overall strength and endurance.
The studio itself is immaculate, providing a refreshing and motivating environment for workouts. The efficiency of the routines ensures that every minute spent there is productive and rewarding.”
