I have been working with Chris for a few months and the experience has been wonderful. He does an excellent job of meeting you where you are physically and building from there. When I had an issue with my knees we used a few sessions to stretch and strengthen them and it helped decrease the time I was in pain. I highly reccomend using him for your training needs.

Chris is a great trainer!! I have back issues and he was very mindful of my back and the exercises he picked for me. He was always on time and ready to motivate me to do my best. I look forward to working with him again very soon.

Chris has been fantastic. He has personalized Programs for family members at different ages and health situations. He’s energetic, effective, and motivating. Within a month, we’ve already started to see results with increased energy levels and flexibility. We weren’t really sure how virtual training would work out but are so happy with the Experience (it’s been easy, convenient, and fun) that we’ve been referring Make a Step to everyone! Thank you Chris!
