Strength Wise Barbell

Training with Chris at Strength Wise has completely changed the way I feel day to day and the way I see myself. I am stronger than I have ever been, and mostly importantly, it feels sustainable.

Chris from Strength Wise is incredibly knowledgeable and really fun to work with. He's helped me get into a good routine; I haven't been this in shape in a decade!

Working with Chris has been amazing. He teaches solutions for long term weight-loss. He is extremely easy to talk to about my concerns. His programs are simple to follow and he is always accessible.

Encouragement, Guidance, Results, Community: That’s what you can expect from STRENGTH WISE.I’ve been going to Chris’s Mo/Wed/Sat class for a few months now. Since starting with Chris, my quality of life has improved dramatically. I have always been a very active person, pre covid I was at the gym everyday. But the pandemic put me in a slump, I missed my communities and didn’t have the motivation to work out. Chris provides instant connection, dedication, and guidance. Physically, I am back in my pre covid shape and am getting closer mentally with every class.

Chris is a fantastic coach, very focused on the positives and full of knowledge that helps keep you on track.100% recommend to anyone looking to lose weight or start lifting/training.Awesome experience here.

was a sporadic weight lifter for most of my 20s, then took a 15 year hiatus.I returned to weightlifting during workibf-from-home with Covid, except this time I had 3 small children, (and less schedule flexibility to train), was 30 pounds heavier and had persistent back issues.Chris designed a program for me that fit my schedule and has helped educate me about modern weightlifting theory, as I only knew bro weightlifting science from the 90sAfter 3 months my lifts a bigger than I thought possible and I have no back pain. After 6 months my resting heart rate has decreased and my doctor will soon decrease my blood pressure medicine.

I thought my lifting days were over. Bad shoulder, bad knee, bad back. Chris disagreed. Thankfully, he disagreed forcefully enough to get me back on the weights. I couldn't be more grateful.Chris hasn't just helped me regain strength, he's helped me rebuild confidence.It's only been a few months, but my relationship to my body has completely changed. I'm less fearful of every ache and pain, less prone to catastrophizing, and I'm getting steadily stronger. I'm not sure what more one could ask for from a strength coach.But there is more to Chris! He's a real person who understands and empathizes with real people. He's whip smart, kind and funny. And his passion for this synthesis of mindfulness and strength training is infectious.Don't miss out on your chance to hire this man before his schedule is completely filled!

Chris has helped me get back to working with the barbell in a much more competent way. I don't feel like I have to kill myself every workout to make progress and have been getting PRs every week all while still being able to move the next day:) He curates a plan for the individual rather than what I've experienced in the past as"one size fits all." He cares about his client's wholeness and addresses nutrition, sleep, etc. to make sure that you're developing good habits that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend!!

As a fencer, it has been really difficult to find a specific lifting program tailored specifically to the requirements of the sport. Chris went above and beyond in his research to create a personalized nutrition and training program tailored to me. Not to mention, he was happy to answer all of the questions I had and opened my eyes to the benefits I could receive from other aspects of fitness (nutrition, recovery) that I had not really considered. I'm definitely looking forward to continuing to work with Chris!
