His qualifications include a BSc in Sports Therapy from University College Birmingham, an MSc in Strength & Conditioning from St. Mary's University, and the NSCA Strength & Conditioning Certified Specialist.
As a Personal Trainer, Chris specialises in providing affordable strength and conditioning coaching for self-funded combat sports athletes, focusing on grassroots MMA athletes who often lack proper progression pathways. With his 10 years of experience in MMA and a professional record of 10-2, including three championship titles in different weight categories, Chris has the expertise to guide athletes on their journey to success.
Chris offers various training options, including in-person coaching, one-to-one and paired training, and remote coaching. His in-person coaching includes periodized strength training tailored to individual goals, support, and training advice via WhatsApp, and lifestyle support such as diet recommendations and sleep cycles. Late stage injury rehabilitation and technical execution of exercises are also part of Chris's services.
For those unable to train in person, Chris offers personalised correspondence coaching and subscription-based programming. The personalised correspondence coaching includes a monthly subscription fee and a three-month commitment. This option provides strength and conditioning programming designed specifically for individual requirements, taking into account injury history, competition schedule, and skills training frequency. WhatsApp and Facebook group support are also included to ensure clients receive ongoing guidance and motivation.
The subscription-based programming is ideal for recreational combat sports enthusiasts. For a monthly fee, clients receive programming designed to maximise health and performance while minimising injury risks. WhatsApp and Facebook group support are also available to provide additional guidance and support.
