Is This You Right Now?

You're not broken. You just need a system built for your life, not a 22-year-old's.

01

"I have zero time."

Work, kids, dinner, bedtime routine. By the time you sit down, the gym is the last thing on your mind. You need a program that works in 45 minutes, not two hours.

02

"Nothing works like it used to."

What got you results at 25 doesn't work anymore. Your body changed. That's not a problem. It means you need a program built for your body now, not the one you had 15 years ago.

03

"I don't know where to start."

Every article says something different. Keto, cardio, intermittent fasting, 5x5, PPL. You don't need more information. You need someone to tell you exactly what to do.

04

"My knees / back / shoulders hurt."

Old injuries keep you on the couch because you don't know what's safe. Every exercise in your program has a modification. We work around it, not through it.

Programs That Fit Your Life

Every program uses the same evidence-based system. The difference is how much coaching you want.

Years in
the Game

I'm Cris. I've Been in the Gym Since I Was 21.

That's 13 years of training real people. Not fitness models. Not athletes. Regular adults with desk jobs, bad knees, kids who won't sleep, and 45 minutes to get it done.

I built the systems I use today because the textbook approach doesn't work for people with real lives. Your program tells you exactly what weight to lift, not "pick a moderate weight." Your nutrition plan uses the food you already cook, not a meal plan that requires a second grocery trip.

The bottom line: my job is to get you strong enough that you don't need me anymore. But you're going to want me around.

Built Over 13 Years. Refined With Every Client.

This isn't a template. It's a system that adapts to you.

01

Block Periodization

12 weeks. Three blocks. Foundation builds habits. Build adds intensity. Challenge pushes your limits. Every block has a purpose.

02

Exact Weight Prescription

Your tracking page says "Squat: 95 lbs, 3x10." Not "pick a moderate weight." I do all the math. You just show up and lift.

03

Progressive Overload Built In

The system tells you exactly when to add weight. Hit your targets for 6 sessions, you earn the increase. No guessing. No stalling.

Real Training. Real People.

No filters. No staged photos. This is what the work actually looks like.
