Awakened Nutrition & Personal Training - Denver, Colorado

Chris is the best! He's extremely knowledgeable and really ties in anatomy to the workouts. Not only does Chris keep me motivated when tackling exercises, he teaches me the right technique and focus areas for each so that I can keep doing these exercises independently. I've noticed great strength progress working with him as he's really focused and always comes ready with a plan for the day. Plus - Chris is personable & the workouts are always fun!

Chris is the best! I started off overweight with the goal of getting into better shape and zero knowledge of how to exercise properly. Needless to say, I was uncomfortable in the gym. I've been working with Chris for a couple of months now and he has been incredible, taking time to not just show me how exercises work and how to use the equipment, but also explaining how and why they work. During sessions has the right balance of push and positive encouragement. Chris is invested in my success and I will continue working with him!

My personal training classes with Chris have been the highlights of my week! Chris is very personable and pushes me harder than I thought my body was capable of, and with the right amount of guidance. He is constantly checking in with me and is a great listener and teacher. I would recommend him to anyone looking for coaching in the gym or for nutrition!

Chris is an amazing personal trainer. He’s always on time, super positive and knowledgeable and has a great variety of personalized workouts that expands every week. I have worked with him for almost half a year and I have had great results! My conditioning, strength, flexibility, energy, and coordination have all drastically improved. I wish I could give him 6 stars.

Chris has been a genuinely life-changing personal trainer. When I first was seeking a personal trainer I did expect to have such a positive and well-rounded experience that has so quickly given me hope and immediate progress towards my independent health inside and outside the gym, both mental and physical.
Chris has worked with me in only the most effective, kind, respectful, and professional way and I see myself getting closer to my goals after each week with him. He really listens and provides workouts and meal plans that work for you as an individual.
He is incredibly clear, patient, knowledgeable, and motivating and takes any doubts or confusion that surround food and exercise and helps you to understand that there is a way to live comfortably and confidently around both.
His approach to training is sustainable, personal to your needs, and has made me excited to be better.
I'm really thankful for Chris and I recommend him to anyone whose looking to reach their fitness/overall health goals.

I've been training twice a week for about 6 months under Chris. Though I have a fair amount of experience in the gym, working with Chris has seemingly doubled the pace of my typical progress. But it's much more than that. Once you sign up with Chris he goes to work for you. It doesn't end with the session. He's happy to prepare plans for and analyze your nutrition, answer any questions you have, and provide feedback outside of the sessions on both fitness and nutrition topics. In short, as opposed to a one-hour-and-ghost approach, you really get the sense that he's in it for your win, whatever that takes.

As an added bonus, he is extremely knowledgeable about the human anatomy when it comes to fitness. I've had a lot of random strains due to the pace we're setting, and he's been able to swiftly identify the cause and help me work through them without even interrupting my vigorous progress.

Awakened truly is the best experience I’ve ever had with nutritional coaching and personal training! I’ve worked with trainers in the past and never felt I was maximizing my workouts. A couple of conversations and evaluations with Chris & he was able to target some weaknesses/trouble spots I had been neglecting. He explained mobility and issues I had in a way that made sense along with how to address them in workouts to ensure I build strength versus risk injury. Him and Amber have also been able to teach me endless amounts about my relationship with food! I’ve never felt restricted with their advice. Both of them are the most comfortable and knowledgeable people I’ve ever worked with!

I have been working with Chris for a year and have seen amazing results! My body shape has changed, my energy levels are increased and I feel confident again! What makes Chris different from other trainers is that he really gets to know your body type and provides meal plans and workouts to best work with your body. He is motivating and kind and really cares about his clients.
