Meet Chris

Chris holds multiple certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Fitness Nutrition Specialist (FNS), Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES), and Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES). He also holds some other certifications and expertise in Personalized Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation (PBFR), Life Coaching Level 1, and CPR/AED Level C. Let’s not forget his background in high-level hockey and bodybuilding competitions, where he's earned his stripes among Alberta's finest.

Before starting Shark Bodies Fitness, Chris honed his training style at Glenora World Health Club, as an Assistant Fitness Manager and Full-Time Personal Trainer, where he helped clients of all ages and fitness levels reach their goals. He's also no stranger to leading group fitness classes, group training sessions and 1-on-1 training sessions, earning a strong reputation as a quality coach and role model in his time at Glenora World Health Club. Most recently Chris spent time at Acumen Reconditioning, as a Performance Manager. This diverse environment included business development and collaboration with private orthopedic surgeons, athletic therapists, kinesiologists, and strength and conditioning coaches. This experience catalyzed growth and learning. This opportunity led Chris to work with clients and teams from Edmonton and Calgary both in person and online. In Chris's time at Acumen, he was able to take his skills to the next level. He further diversified his clientele by working within the Rodeo and Tactical athlete populations, which he strongly desires to continue with.

Now back to running Shark Bodies Fitness full-time, he is in his ninth year as owner, and he's more committed than ever to helping clients near and far through 1-On-1 Private Training, Group Training, Team Training, and Online Programming. For Chris, fitness isn't just a job—it's a passion and a relentless lifestyle. Inspired by his experiences in elite-level hockey, he's dedicated to passing on his knowledge and helping others reach their full potential. Chris's goal remains consistent, whether he is speaking at corporate events, training camps, or working with clients 1-on-1 or in groups: to empower others to rewrite their fitness journey and provide the tools for transformation, encouraging you to ‘Transform Yourself'.
