I hired Christian five years ago to train me for a powerlifting competition, he is still my coach today! His knowledge and ability to push me to greater heights then I thought I was capable of is insurmountable. He surpasses all of my past coaches, with his knowledge and attention to detail. I am grateful he has significantly improved my overall strength, conditioning and performance in my sport!!!

Started working with Christian about 2 years ago. I didn’t realize my strength and the capabilities I had after being with him. My goal was always to become stronger so I can be healthy and strong for my kids growing up. I wasn’t much of a healthy person at a younger age until I had kids. Christian is so knowledgeable and just knows the human body, on why it hurts the way it does and what movements or exercises to do to help alleviate the pain. I will always have Christian be my trainer even if he becomes too old. Hahaha. Because I know he will still be a fit old guy. Hahahaha

Christian has been the most helpful and knowledgeable coach I’ve ever had. He’s amazing at figuring out what causes impingements. He knows how to address them and get stronger. When I started lifting with Christian, he helped me fix my form and work on my physical weaknesses. I went from getting injured every week to hardly ever. With his help, my strength in squat went from 205lbs to 430lbs, my deadlift from 225 to 447lbs and my bench from nothing to 188lbs. If it had not been for his guidance and willingness to help me work through my weaknesses, I wouldn’t have found my happy place in powerlifting. And with his help, I lost a lot of body fat, replaced it with muscle and had significant body recomposition. I’m still not at my goal, but with Christian’s guidance I know it’s only a matter of time.

Training with Christian has been a game changer for me! I have reached new PRs in all of my lifts thanks to his careful attention to elements of technique often overlooked. Christian’s physiology expertise is deep and I’m constantly learning something new from him. I’m stoked on my results so far and am excited to make even more improvement in the years to come.

It is absolutely true! At the age of 63, I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. I’m moving without hindrances. It’s taken time but I’m doing things now that I wouldn’t do in my twenties! What makes it even more amazing is that had chronic back issues for decades, including bulging discs, which no longer give me problems. (And I would be down for weeks at a time.) Having a great trainer like Christian has given me a quality of life that makes me want everyone else know not to limit themselves and understand that so much is possible—when you have the right person. It’s taken time to get here and I’m so glad I persisted. I’ve been called an Amazon my whole life and now I feel like one! 😁
