When Andrea started working with Chris 9 months ago, her goal was simple: reduce body fat. What happened next became about so much more. Here's her story.

Moms, this is for you. ❤️
After having 3 kids over 7 years, I'd spent nearly all of that time focused on my family. At first, I struggled to get away for even 15 minutes to exercise and felt guilty taking that time for myself.
Chris met me exactly where I was. No judgment, no perfection, no generic plan. Just a plan built around me and my life.
When I started running, my ankles would give out, my knees felt weak, and I once pushed myself so hard on a group run that I completely blew out my quads.
I never thought I'd become a runner.
I always said, “I don't need to run more than 5K.”
Now I've run 18K, completed my first 10K race, and 10K+ runs have become some of my favourite things to do.
And it wasn't just running. Regular strength training became a big part of my routine too, and I started feeling stronger and more capable overall.
My body composition changed too: body fat went from 23% to 21%, and skeletal muscle from 44% to 46%.
But the biggest transformation wasn't physical.
Exercise gave me confidence again.
Confidence to make time for myself.
Confidence to challenge myself.
Confidence to see what I'm capable of.
Chris works with you exactly where you are, genuinely cares about your journey, and knows when you need to be pushed, and when you need support.
When I ran my first 10K race on my own, he called it “THE BEST 10K EVER!”
Life doesn't suddenly get less busy. We have to learn to create routines and boundaries within real life.
Nine months isn't a quick fix. It's the beginning of building habits I hope will carry me through the next 50+ years.
I thought I signed up to lose body fat. What I really did was start finding myself again. ❤️
Andrea
