What an amazing experience working with STRNG has been. I had initially signed on to lose weight for my wedding and within 3 months I hit my goal, losing 16lbs. I felt so confident during my wedding. I now am at a stage where I want to maintain this and Chris has been so helpful making sure I keep up with it and more importantly staying healthy. STRNG goes above and beyond from their pricing, to timelines, to healthy food, and more. Highly recommend to anyone!!

Chris from STRNG has been great to work with. He's been doing a great job guiding my fitness development. He manages to change the workouts up to keep them different while focusing on establishing core skills.

An excellent personaltrainer believes every client has the capacity and the potential to succeed. Debbee is professional, patient, and understanding. Her encouragement has given my sister and me the confidence to start the program. After two sessions, I feel assured that with her continued training and motivation, we will continue getting good results and attain our goals!!

Ive been working out consistently with Chris for approximately 5 years. I started with a personaltrainer to help recover from a shoulder injury. I did not have a consistent weight training program before working with Chris, and was a little intimidated by the gym/weights. Chris was instrumental in my rehabilitation. My continued training with him has helped me become stronger, more flexible and less prone to injury even when exercising at a very high level outside the gym (rowing and biking). I see the results daily in my overall functional fitness doing ordinary activities. Chris is extremely knowledgeable, adapts workouts to where you need to be to get to the next step, helps set realistic goals, is flexible and professional. Working with Chris has been a game changer in terms of my overall fitness and long-term goals. He listens, is pleasant to work with, has a sense of humor and meets you where you are. Highly recommend!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We have a standard rate for personal training services and the price decreases the more frequent the client trains with us, however, we want to make training as accessible as possible, so we have some flexibility in pricing for people who want to work with us but may find the price a little too expensive. This is implemented on a case-by-case basis.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, we outline short and longterm goals. Then, we perform a functional movement screening to assess strengths and/or imbalances in the client's movement patterns. From there, based on outlined goals and the movement screening scores, we design a digital program that best fits the client's needs and aims to achieve their goals. Finally, we meet in-person or virtually to practice the program and learn the prescribed movements - we set weekly goals for the client to work on outside of our sessions. Programs are progressed every 6-8 weeks to build on movement gains and prevent plateaus.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
1. National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)
2. Pain Free Performance Specialist (PPSC)
3. Kettlebell Concepts
4. USA Weightlifting
5. CPR-AED
6. 10+ years of working with clients from all walks of life
