Owner & MAT® Master Level Specialist

Chris has been a personal trainer for more than 25 years and a Master Level Specialist in Muscle Activation Techniques® for 15. A lifelong Montana outdoorsman, he has kept clients skiing, golfing, and hiking for decades.

Over the last 25 years, Chris has worked with thousands of clients, from first-time exercisers and active older adults to serious athletes. Wherever you are starting, he meets you there and builds a plan around your body, your health, and your goals.

His approach starts with how you move. He finds the muscles that aren’t doing their share, restores them, and then builds strength that lasts, whether you’re preparing for surgery, recovering or training for your sport.

Chris is a NASM Senior Exercise Specialist and has spent years helping older adults get stronger and stay active. He pays close attention to how you move, works around aches, joint limitations, and past injuries, and builds strength, balance, and confidence at a pace that feels right, so you can keep doing the things you love, safely and on your own terms.

How MAT® works

Address the cause, not just the symptom

Muscle Activation Techniques® (MAT) is a systematic way to find and correct muscular imbalances, so tightness and weakness are addressed at the source.

01

Assess

The team evaluates how your body moves and finds the muscles that aren’t doing their share.

02

Activate

Targeted work wakes up the muscles that have gone quiet, so your body can stabilize and move the way it should.

03

Strengthen

A program built around your mechanics and health builds strength that lasts, whether you’re recovering or performing.

“Chris helped me immensely. I have arthritis in my neck and it really bothered me while skiing. PT at ortho facility wasn’t helping. Last Fall Chris showed me how to strengthen my arms (on his equipment) to take pressure off of my neck/shoulder and it worked! I noticed a huge difference when skiing this season!”
