Rachel Thompson - NPC Competitor

I met Chris in the Summer of 2010 as I was preparing to compete in my second contest for the NPC Bikini division. Although I have always been an athlete and work out regularly, contest preparation is approached in a totally different way and I was seeking someone who could help me map out workouts and a nutrition plan that would prepare me for the intense competition I would face on stage.

 

Although I had heard from many people what an amazing trainer Chis is, I was floored by his enthusiasm for competing and to bringing my physique to the next level. I knew the instant we met that I had found someone who was more than a personal trainer. I found a coach and a mentor who would help guide me through the intense journey that is unique to competing.  

The day after our initial meeting and training session Chris provided me with a comprehensive nutrition and supplementation program that would help me achieve my goals. He then mapped out a training program that was specifically tailored to my needs and made sure to adjust it based on my progress. Each week he would conduct a formal evaluation and we would discuss next steps and any changes that needed to be implemented.

 

But what really demonstrated his passion and commitment was the fact that he was there guiding me through the final week prep, making water adjustments the night before and guiding me through the day of the competition. I was very impressed and touched that he took the time to attend my shows and watch me compete!

 

Chris brings a deep knowledge and understanding to strength training, conditioning and sports nutrition. I consider him to be an expert in all of these disciplines and I have the deepest respect for his knowledge and dedication. 

 

I hold him in the highest regard and recommend him to anyone serious about competing or just getting fit and healthy.
