Being a lifelong athlete is a commonly shared trait among many CrossFit coaches (and athletic trainers in general), but Chris argues that it’s “better late than never” in the world of fitness.

Chris didn’t always look the way he does now. Quite frankly, he was a lot bigger. But, one day, Chris realized that an unhealthy lifestyle of poor eating and little-to-no exercise was a one-way ticket to disease and complications later in life, so he began a vigorous personal diet and exercise campaign in 2006.
18 months later (and 70 lbs lighter!) Chris began CrossFitting and hasn’t looked back since. With no bad globo-gym habits to break, Chris was able to learn the basic CrossFit movements on a clean slate.
“I had become so accustomed to running and endurance that I didn’t want to give that up in the name of a strict strength program. CrossFit was exactly what I was looking for: a program that blends strength, endurance, and so much more.”
A web developer by day, Chris holds a BS in Computer Science from the University of Hartford. He will graduate from the University of Connecticut in December with an MBA.
