"Chris' workouts mix the perfect amount of fun and Challenge."

Christopher has been doing in-home personal training with me since March of 2010. With almost no equipment – only a medicine ball, a couple hand weights and an elastic band - he’s helped me regain a level of fitness I haven’t had in ten years.

Chris’ workouts mix the perfect amount of fun and challenge. We laugh a lot but he’s still kickin my butt. And he varies the workouts enough that it never gets repetitive.

I’d highly recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a skilled trainer; especially someone who doesn’t have time to get to a gym.

"Each workout is different and you never get bored!"

Christopher is an excellent trainer.  I’ve been working out with him for about a year now and he’s become an integral part of my exercise and fitness regime.  Christopher’s style is that he pushes you hard – but that he’s also very instinctive in sensing what your energy levels are and in adapting his workout style to push you to whatever your limits are for that day. He incorporates many different styles of exercise, so each workout is different and you never get bored!  Christopher is extremely supportive and encouraging – he will kick your ass, but also recognizes that we’re only human and sometimes we’re not always perfect.   I’ve fallen off the exercise and diet bandwagon a couple of times over the course of the year but, rather than make you feel like a failure, Christopher instead helps you, gently but firmly, get back on track with a non-judgmental “OK, let’s re-focus”.   As someone who travels a lot and struggles to keep a regular schedule, I really appreciate that.  Finally, he genuinely cares about your health, welfare and happiness, so that you feel you have someone on your side, helping you be the best, healthiest person you can be.  That, to me, is the real deal.

"Christopher’s training style is fun and personalized"

I am writing on behalf of Christopher Gonzales and the exceptional training service he provides. As an Amli resident it has been not only convenient, but beneficial to have access to his services in the Amli gym.  As a busy professional it is a great benefit to have the ability to cater to my schedule, but as an Amli resident, it helps me to utilize all that the building has to offer in amenities.

Christopher’s training style is fun and personalized. His background in the industry allows him to be able to read his clients and push them to meet their goals. I highly recommend him as an addition to any Amli community.

"I've had fantastic results and others have noticed as well"

Christopher has been my personal trainer for almost 3 years and I would highly recommend him. His workouts are always changing so you never get bored.  He also understands and listens to what you are looking to achieve. The best part is that I've had fantastic results and others have noticed as well. I will certainly miss my workouts with Christopher because both he and I are moving. Hoping to find another trainer as great as he.

"hard hour-long workouts for us to do in our living room"

We needed a flexible and creative trainer to help us work out at home after our 6 month old son went to bed. Keep in mind, we only have a couple of yoga mats, a few sets of dumbbells, and an overly friendly dog. No problem at all for Christopher- he came up with hard hour-long workouts for us to do in our living room, and made sure to walk us through exercise series we could use for workouts throughout the week. He even sent accountability texts to make sure we were doing the workouts between sessions and to check-in on how we were feeling. The workouts were hard, but also super fun- Christopher is very clearly knowledgeable about fitness and physical training, and he also has a great sense of humor. He was flexible with finding times for sessions that worked around our work and baby schedules. And he didn't mind the playful dog jumping across the room while he worked us out. Christopher is fairly new to Austin, which I consider to be a temporary advantage- I'd bet he'll have a very full clientele list in no time. Do yourself a favor and book him now while he still has availability!
