Working with Chris over the past year has been amazing.
I knew I wanted to improve my strength but needed help with what to do.
We slowly worked our way to Olympic Lifting and now I am achieving things I never dreamed of. I am so proud of the progress I have made and I owe it to Chris.
He is an incredible coach and motivator and I hope top continue working with him in the future.
Rick, 58, began his personal training journey when the doors of Movati Athletic first opened in Waterloo. Here we are four years later and he is still going strong. Little did he know at the time that his first 12 sessions would expand into a life long dedication to training and his health. Weight loss, building muscle and receiving a kick in the butt workout were Rick’s goals when we began. With hard work and his dedication of training 2x a week, we soon crushed his weight loss goals as well as built a strong, lean, muscular version of Rick. During that time, he realized how important personal training would be to his overall goals of lifetime health and longevity. You can only get so far alone and Rick, among many continued ‘lifetime’ training clients, will tell you the same. Accountability and continued guidance with safe and proper exercise technique is key to a client’s success. I constantly focus on form and safe movements for Rick so he can continue moving strong and injury free. We keep things fresh with new goals and programming every couple months to keep Rick dedicated and engaged. Clients who decide to make training a lifetime commitment are giving their bodies the gift of health. Our bodies were made to move and I truly believe physical fitness is crucial to healthy and happy bodies.
Weight Loss: 21.6lbs
Joining the Movati weight loss challenge, I couldn’t have been more motivated by the idea of a competition. A competition to see if I could lose more weight than my fellow competitors. Little did I know we would be sharing a kinship, of hard work in the gym and in the kitchen. It didn’t take me long to realize that along the journey I have been able to push myself harder and reclaim my life. I can continue with my daily activities, however, I’m no longer short of breath climbing stairs, I’m no longer too embarrassed of my body to the point of cancelling plans so that I don’t have to put on clothes that don’t look good on my body. Anyone in the challenge that participated, won. I want to congratulate us all, that we are one big step closer to our goals in this journey – and to our trainer… we definitely couldn’t have done with without you.
