Personal Training

LEILA

I’ve been working with Chris for almost 6 years, and my strength has increased immensely. I never thought a 300- pound back squat was in my future, but with his help, I’ve surpassed that goal! If you’re looking for someone to make you stronger and help you accomplish your strength goals, Chris is absolutely your guy!

ADRIANO

I am incredibly grateful to my personal trainer, Christos, for his expertise and dedication in helping me recover from a torn bicep. After the injury, I was unsure about how to rebuild strength and regain full mobility, but Christos crafted a personalized, gradual training plan that not only prevented further strain but also progressively rebuilt my arm’s strength and functionality. His attention to detail, encouragement, and knowledge of injury recovery made all the difference. Christos kept me motivated and focused, and thanks to his guidance, I’m back to training stronger than ever. I can’t recommend him enough for anyone needing recovery support or wanting to reach their fitness goals.

COLETTE

While training with Chris over more than a decade, I have significantly improved my strength and fitness to levels well beyond what I once thought possible. He is dedicated to providing effective, challenging and safe workouts that focus on proper technique using both traditional as well as innovative exercises. He has always been very aware of my specific needs and challenges including guiding me through my rehab following my recent total knee replacement. In short, Chris has been a reliable, effective and knowledgeable trainer whom I’ve come to trust.

REGAN

 I started working with Christos January 2020 after a tough loss in my fight career. I was very depressed and needed some help. I had some experience lifting but always found it hard to balance lifting effectively with the demands of training for my sport. My goals were to put on considerable size and strength to be more competitive in my weight class. The first week of training I had never been so sore (in a good way) and probably would have taken it way easier on myself if it weren’t for Chris’ support. Over the next 4 years, Chris helped me put on a huge amount of size and strength which made a massive difference in my sport performance and in the way I felt about my body. Prior to training with Chris, I could barely do a proper back squat. Because of him, I was able to surpass my initial goal of 135 (he had me lifting that for reps) and hit almost twice my body weight. He was always consistent and never cancelled a session, which made it impossible for me to make excuses for myself. I later rematched the opponent I had previously lost to and won a North American title! I credit this to many things but a lot of it had to do with the confidence I got from my new found strength from Chris

ROD

Chris has been my trainer for around 13 years. He has constantly shown complete dedication to improving his client’s health, wellbeing and quality of life. He inspires his clients to give their maximum effort and with a nudge for that little bit more for them to see the fruits of their effort, sweat and well-worked muscles. He is a trainer pure and simple.

MEGAN

I’ve been working with Chris steadily for a few years now and the transformation has been remarkable. I never would have believed that, at 42 I’d be in the best shape of my life! His knowledge, patience, and calm manner have been so valuable and made training with him stress free, and enjoyable. If you’re considering starting your fitness journey, then you need Chris in your life!

TEI

I’ve been training with Chris for the better part of a decade. Coming from a kickboxing background with little to no added weight lifting, after training with Chris for just a short time I started seeing benefits to my kickboxing and all around health. He is professional, gives the correct amount of push and truly knows his clients health and capabilities, I strongly recommend. He changed my life.

ADRIANNE

I have been training with Chris for 2 years now after getting the recommendation from some girls at my jiu-jitsu gym. I have gained strength, knowledge and confidence in the gym and around weights. He’s worked with me through injuries and other personal health concerns. Chris is easy going, happy to chat, and always works as hard as I do to help me get to my goals! 10/10!

JAKE

Chris has shown me that anything is possible when it comes to my fitness goals. He’s not only a personal trainer but a mentor that actually wants to see you succeed.

MARCUS

I’ve made incredible progress at Sparta Strength, and it’s been a game- changer for both my fitness and overall well-being. From the moment I joined, I felt supported by Chris’ knowledge who genuinely cares about my goals. With his personalized approach, I’ve seen significant improvements in strength, endurance, and confidence.

CHUCK

I’ve been training with Chris for 5+ years. He is very knowledgeable, fun to be around and really cares about what he does. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to get stronger.

CHRIS

Working with Chris completely changed my approach to fitness. He made every workout enjoyable, which inspired me to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve gained confidence, built muscle, and become stronger than I ever thought possible. Chris doesn’t just train you, he helps you unlock your best self.

CAITLIN

Chris has been my PT for over 7 years now. I had lost significant weight due to an undiagnosed disease and wanted to build in exercise more regularly in my routine. Fast forward to today; I train with Chris 6 days a week, I’m obsessed. It helps with my pain management a lot and he adjusts my sessions depending on how my body is feeling. He’s intelligent, motivational and compassionate and has made me a stronger, better version of myself both physically and mentally.

NICK

I have been training with Christos for the past three years, and his unparalleled knowledge and expertise have been instrumental in making me as strong as possible. His tailored approach has helped me excel in Brazilian ju-jitsu, ensuring I’m always at my best for the sport.

CHRIS & SAV

Our son (Sav) has been working with Christos for the past year, and the progress he has made is incredible. His gross motor skills and strength have improved beyond our expectations, and his confidence has grown so much. Christos’ approach is truly amazing – he is patient, supportive, and knows exactly how to motivate and challenge in the right way. We couldn’t be more grateful for the positive impact he has had on our son’s development!

PHILIP

Working with Chris has been a game-changer for me! I’ve lost unnecessary body fat, increased muscle, and achieved a level of toning I didn’t think was possible. Beyond the physical changes, my overall quality of life has improved… I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident. While I know my success comes down to my own dedication, Chris provided the guidance, tools, and encouragement I needed to stay on track and push myself further. His expertise and positive energy were exactly what I needed to transform my fitness journey. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to improve themselves!

MICHAEL

I found Chris through a mutual friend’s post on social media, I quickly recognized Chris as a former colleague I’d admired from fifteen years prior. I was four months into training at the time and had four months left until a large local charity boxing event I was participating in and selected as the title fight. With zero prior experience I knew Chris had a plethora of martial arts experience and reached out immediately. Chris set up a recommended training program and worked within my budget restrictions to maximize my preparedness for my first fight.. His attentiveness, presence and passion in every training session was extremely apparent. Starting from the ground up building my footwork, my technique, my conditioning, my defense and mental fortitude in combat sports. Drilling over and over his dedication to your cause leaves you no choice but to match that effort. I had extra pressure on the fight being the title match in front of 1100 spectators and representing the entire Fire Department fighting a formidable opponent who was a strong and athletic Police Officer. My confidence came through in my training with Chris, I won by knockout 21 seconds into the first round. The first knockout in the event’s 17 year history. Chris has an abundance of knowledge and experience in the fitness, athletic and combat sports realm and has a desire to share it. I would highly recommend him to anyone serious. about their goals.

BRETT

I see Christos train people from all walks of life and all athletic backgrounds – a testament to his wide-ranging coaching abilities. The reason I personally chose Christos is for his unique expertise and real world experience. Having a credible background as a multi-sport elite athlete (Olympic lifting / Muay Thai) gives me the confidence he has intimate knowledge of what I need to focus on throughout my fitness journey. Whether it’s form correction to prevent injury or needing that extra motivation in your ear for the last couple reps – Christos is there as a trusted professional. I’ve been guided from day 1 with credible advice and knowledge, leading to tremendous improvements and results – something I could not have achieved without his professional coaching.
