Christopher
PHILIP
My passion for helping others started at a young age, from contributing to charitable causes to realizing the incredible impact of positive change in people's lives. That same passion led me to the world of movement science. Since my days as a Sports Medicine student in high school, I’ve been fascinated by how the human body moves and performs.
In 2014, I began my journey as a fitness professional after earning my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Since then, I’ve earned 10 certifications and worked with a diverse range of clients, helping them achieve goals such as improving athletic performance, fat loss, strength and muscle development, mobility enhancement, and overall wellness—including mindset and nutrition guidance.
While I bring a deep understanding of exercise science to my training, I also believe that fitness should be fun, engaging, and empowering. Whether you're looking to push your limits or build sustainable healthy habits, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way!

"Coach Chris has been my personal trainer for a few years now. In the first year, my training partner observed that my form had never been so good. Chris pushes me to do my best, while always making modifications if an exercise is too difficult at first.
At my request, we are now incorporating functional movements such jumping, throwing and floor movements. It is exciting at my age of 64 to be learning new athletic skills that will keep me mobile, strong and pain-free. Chris is a joy to work with and I have never been stronger. I highly recommend his training services."
"I’ve been training with Chris for over 4 years and the results have been incredible! From day one, he took the time to understand my fitness goals, tailor a workout plan to my needs, and keep me motivated every step of the way. His knowledge of fitness, nutrition, and proper form is top-notch, ensuring that every session is both safe and effective. Whether it’s weight training, cardio, or mobility work, he always brings variety to workouts, making them fun and challenging. Beyond just the physical improvements, Chris has helped me build confidence and a positive mindset about health and fitness. He genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to support my progress.If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and motivating personal trainer, I highly recommend Chris!"
“Chris is an awesome and knowledgeable trainer. Not only I got stronger by working out with him, I also learned how to protect myself from injuries by doing it the right way.
Chris also taught me what to eat pre and post workout to maximum the results without feeling fatigue. I learned so much from Chris, only wish he will come to South Bay to train! :)”
