Hi, my name is Christopher. I have been a trainer for 13 years, the last 11 at Equinox. I have experience training every type of client from pro athletes to those recovering from an injury. My specialties are weight loss, sport specific, and corrective exercise. I also offer tandem and small group training if the clients have similar goals.

What to Expect

The sessions always start with smr (self myofacial release) followed by a movement prep and muscle activations. Depending on the type of session power exercises or larger multi-joint muscles are worked first followed by secondary muscles.

Client Success Story

My client Jeanne Lopez lost 25 pounds in 6 months at the age of 42. Her life drastically changed and she is now a fitness enthusiast.

I trained with CK for over two years in Miami until he left to California. Every workout session was a challenge yet he made me laugh the entire time. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and knows how much to push you every time even if you don't think you can do it. I never had an injury. He will sculpt your body, shedding fat and building the right amount of muscle. I went from a size 6 to a 2 in a few months and my body looked completely different. He also gave me tips on what to eat and when. Anyone thinking of hiring a trainer should definitely schedule a session with him. It is by far the best investment in MYSELF I ever made. Wish he was still here!

Chris is a great trainer. I felt he was expert at many different approaches going way beyond basic weight training. He really mixed it up with cool techniques and stuff I could do on my own. I had several physical limitations I was dealing with and he was great at working around those with me. Helped coach me in diet too. He got me in great shape - best in 20 years.

Chris was very professional during my training sessions. He motivated me to get out of my comfort zone and helped me to achieve my very best. Chris is well educated and kept up to date on the latest exercises, but was selective in choosing my fitness program in order to help my body reach the goal I had set for myself. He is a people person and takes great pride in making personal connections with his clients. I HIGHLY recommend him!

Amazing trainer! I trained with Chris for two years in Miami. He definitely gets you the results you want in a fun and entertaining way. While training with Chris I was in the best shape of my life without even thinking I was working out hard. He motivates you, is professional and has a great personality. Every work out was different and exciting. He never cancelled a session and was never late. Anyone that gets a chance to work out with Chris should do so!

Besides being extremely well trained and knowledgeable CK is always upbeat and his joy and laughter is contagious. CK somehow manages to make a work out fun as well as challenging. He is truly a great trainer and amazing person as well.

What I like about CK is that he knows how to motivate me, he makes each of my training sessions challenging but rewarding. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as your personal trainer if you want to achieve your fitness and health goals.

Chris is an exceptional trainer!!! He helped me achieve my personal training goals and is incredibly knowledgeable about body mechanics and fitness!!! Chris personalizes the work outs to your specific needs and was always well prepared with a new workout to push you to the next level while keeping you motivated and excited to work!!! Be careful because he almost became a therapist so he can do a mean "psychoanalyzing"!!! LOL

Chris is a great trainer. We worked hard but also had so much fun. As a former trainer myself, I am very particular about my training. Chris is professional, knowledgeable and has positive energy.
