Personal Training Philosophy
Khris developed his passion for fitness at an early age through sports. While playing at the collegiate & professional level, he learned that functional strength training is the best form of exercise for everyone.
Functional strength training includes exercises and movements that require your feet to be in contact with the ground while you’re mimicking day-to-day body movements — things you do every day. Getting stronger by performing these exercises will make simple movements feel easier and improve performance and quality of life.
It’s these principles that are the foundation of Khris’ training philosophy. From there, he builds customized programs that are designed for each individual client that he works with.
