If you're looking to make a change in your life then Chris is the way to go. I started with a 3 month commitment but was so pleased with how far I came that I've continued and now have been training with him for 10 months. The daily life of an engineer eating treats and sitting all day started to take a toll on me. My energy levels were low and body not ideal. When I contacted Chris he immediately got things set up for us to discuss how things would work including setting goals and we started training 2 days later! When we began I was nervous because I lacked any real gym experience, but he did a great job of evaluating where I was at and going from there. He also set a nutrition plan to follow and helped get it started by going grocery shopping with me where he teaches about best food choices and what to look for. One thing that I really like is that he didn't encourage the use of supplements, but instead a natural organics and real food approach. We track progress with monthly pictures and body measurements. Over these 10 months I've been able to achieve great results by gaining 25+ pounds and lowering body fat about 3-4 percent at the same time. We track workouts (reps/sets/times) with a fitness book he provided. Every day is an adventure with Chris because you never know what workout he is going to throw at you. It's always a good mix that constantly challenges you to level up. He is always positive and there to encourage you to push through them. If you can't do something it's not a problem, he'll find a way to work your way up to it. Other than physical, he has also helped me grow emotionally and mentally. He suggests new activities to try, as well as books, movies and different audio to listen to. He is great at lending a ear while discussing different topics and offering advice where he can. He believes physical is just one area of fitness and will provide you the tools to excel in all areas. I've been able to gain mass while getting lean. I've completely cut my need for caffeine while raising energy levels. I am constantly improving in all areas of life. I love the feeling of knowing I am running optimal with proper nutrition, health and fitness levels. No matter where you are at fitness wise, I'd highly recommend Chris for anyone that wants to reach their goals and maybe aim for new ones. read more

Chris Fernandez Personal Training - Trainers Near Me - San Jose, California

I had fallen off my normal workout routine/schedule and needed someone to help get me back on track. I wanted someone who I would be comfortable with. The weight gain I had experienced from my fallout made me super self conscious. I am so thankful that I found Chris. He has a genuine interest in motivating his clients to achieve their goals with fitness, nutrition and overall health. I needed more than just a personal trainer. I needed motivation and some tough love. When I started my program with Chris, I was at an all time low fitness-wise. He helped me gain strength through his no BS workout sessions, re-evaluate my diet to support my goals and offered tough love and counseling when I would begin to struggle. Unfortunately, I had to end my program with Chris because I no longer commute to the South Bay / Silicon Valley for work regularly. If only it were possible to clone him! A girl can dream. :) read more

Results, results, results! I've been training with Chris for a year, and in that year, I've lost 55 pounds, lowered my body fat by 20%, and dropped 4 pant sizes - while gaining 10+ pounds of muscle! I was looking for a trainer to help me up my fitness game and increase my cardiovascular capacity, and I ended up experiencing a total body transformation. I got leaner and stronger, as well as achieving my original fitness goals. Chris took a two-pronged approach - focusing on both my fitness and my diet. His counseling and guidance on my diet was the real game changer. I thought I knew everything about eating healthy, but have learned so much since working with Chris. Chris keeps you on track by motivating you to be accountable and focused on achieving your goals. The workouts are tough, but not more than you can handle. He tailors the workouts to your goals and keeps them varied so you don't get bored or hit a plateau. I looked at his website, where you can see he has coached pro athletes and other super fit people, so I was worried he might not be interested in training someone who is not an "elite athlete". Luckily, he is open to training regular folk and was super understanding about my prior injuries and gaps in my athletic capabilities. I highly recommend him to help anyone who wants to be pushed to achieve his or her highest potential. read more

Chris Fernandez Personal Training - Results - I lost 50 lbs, gained lean muscle and endurance! Big thanks to Chris for being a great trainer. - Trainers Near Me - San Jose, California

Thank you Chris Fernandez for your guidance, and encouragement to do workouts that I sometimes thought were too difficult. It's true it doesn't matter to you if your client is male/female, young or old. You expect us to give our all to you during the workouts! I needed that kick in the butt! His personalized workouts match up to your goals so you get the results you want! We did some machines here plus I went to his gym. Now when I get on my machines, I hear Chris's voice pushing me forward! We took pics of my workouts. I have a album to remind me of the correct form to use. Even though I was a part timer, I did lose my goal weight in a month. I was very impressed with Chris and his nutrition guidance when we went grocery shopping. Learn how to read those labels! He's in my ear at the grocery store too. Chris showed me that keeping track of what kind of calories you are ingesting is very important. He does teach a lifestyle change; hence, you will be healthier, happier, and more confident living your life. Thanks again Chris, you are the real deal! read more

Being a former coach who tries to tailor each workout to fit the individual, I appreciate all the time and effort Chris puts into his clients. He not only structures the workouts to fit the individual but he takes the time to shop for groceries, work on a diet plan to fit your needs, and cares about your mental health as well. He is a great trainer. read more

Chris is one of the most dedicated trainers I have worked with. If you want results, Chris is the trainer to go with. He has intricate knowledge of fitness, and can formulate comprehensive workout plan for all body types. He systematically challenges you with his workouts with tiered intensity, and complete balance of aerobic and anaerobic workouts that brings results, fast. In my experience if you follow his diet and workout regimen with sincerity, you WILL get into shape and fast. I was able to drop my body fat by 20% in 2-3 months following his approach. One of the key qualities of Chris is his passion to transform your body. He practices what he preaches and is in phenomenal shape himself. If you are passionate about getting in shape, I highly recommend giving Chris a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

Do a Google search for a Bay Area Personal trainer and you will be ultimately inundated with a menagerie of choices. Fortunately for you and me, Chris turned out to be the best personal trainer I've ever trained with. How many times have you met personal trainers that don't look like personal trainers? Chris definitely fits the bill as a professional because his body is a testament to his craft. I decided to go with Chris because he is a walking encyclopedia on fitness and nutrition, and I needed to learn everything. He has over 15 years of experience and has trained pro athletes and it was important for me to know I wasn't training with a rookie. Chris's workouts are never boring -- he keeps things lively by mixing up workouts from hill sprints at the local park, to CrossFit style workouts in the gym. People say that nutrition is 80% of the healthy life style...and I tend to agree. No matter how hard you workout, if you eat bad, you will not get the body you want. Thankfully, Chris has an amazing meal plan and can tailor it to your needs. He will also go grocery shopping with you and advise you on the best foods to buy. All in all, I am very please with my results. If you want the best, then Chris is the guy to contact. read more

I used to find personal trainers very intimidating, until I found Chris. Not only is he a thorough professional and super friendly, but he is extremely respectful of my needs and expectations as a client and tailors my workouts to meet my goals accordingly. What i also like a lot about Chris is that he is very knowledgable when it comes to nutrition and it is a part of his services. Being a vegetarian, this was very important to me as I have had horrible luck in figuring out the correct diet to complement my workouts and so this was the biggest reason I signed up with Chris. I've been working out with Chris for quite a few months now and I've lost almost 10% of body fat, i'm leaner, fitter, stronger, i look good and most importantly, i feel good! Everything from my sleep patterns, to my eating habits, to my energy levels during the day have improved considerably. When I signed up with Chris my goal was to be healthier and leaner and so he dialed up some amazing Crossfit workouts as a part of the program. Once the results started showing, he mixed in pure weight training as well. The best part is that Chris NEVER repeats workouts. He believes that you should always keep your body guessing and never let it get used to something. This also makes the workouts exciting! Over time this combination proved to be the most effective. The fact that he is able to come up with effective and fun workouts on the fly has a lot to do with the 20+ years of experience he has. There were times when I felt like he knew my body better than me! Believe me when I say that the way he goes about his interaction and attention to detail with each of his clients, you can tell that he has just as much invested in you as you do in him. He has never treated me as just another paycheck and i know because I've seen other trainers who have done just that. All in all, Chris is by far the best trainer i've worked with and him, his nutritional guidance and his workouts are worth every penny. Try him out, you will not be dissapointed! read more

Chris comes across as a highly motivated, positive coach who takes his job seriously. I saw clear improvement in my endurance, strength and overall health when I trained with him. Scheduling training sessions was easy with him being very flexible, which helped me not miss any training session in spite of a hectic work life. Apart from the trainings itself, his pointers and guidance on nutrition are also something that I gained a lot from. I eat better now, and have a better fundamental understanding of what kind of diet I should follow. Dealing with someone who can be moody or difficult to bear is something no one likes, and thankfully Chris is very friendly and easygoing. I was always at ease with him and so was able to focus my efforts on the training itself. Never once did I feel I should be some place else, which is a big deal for me. I am very happy about my experience in training with him, and have no regrets. Health is important, and working with him was one of the better decisions I have made. Thanks Chris! read more

I tried a bunch of health clubs and personal trainers in the Bay Area. A lot of them were ok, but I never really felt that I was getting the best and the personal attention that I was looking for until I worked out with Chris. I found his website and learned that he had trained professional athletes and that got me interested. I was worried that he might not be interested in training a "regular person" like me but was really pleasantly surprised at how down to earth and friendly he is. I really connected with him on a personal level and it became clear pretty quickly that he was interested in helping me achieve the goals I wanted and that he really cared about my training. He spent time putting together meal plans and workout plans and even went shopping with me one day to help me learn what kind of foods to get and what to watch out for. I had never had another trainer do that before. Once we started working out, I could tell how knowledgeable he was and he really focused and pushed me to get the most out of each workout. I was really happy with how he always mixed things up and we did a lot of different workouts, but always tied to the goals I had so I never got bored with our sessions. The thing that is really cool about Chris is that he works out super hard himself and he practices what he preaches. So you always feel that he is only asking you to do what he does himself which I like. You can tell that his approach works by just looking at him. I am really happy with Chris and highly recommend him. He is expensive and not a low cost trainer, so be aware of that. You will pay a lot for his services, but its definitely worth it to train with and learn from someone who trains professional athletes and is really focused on only a few clients at a time. Chris gives you a personal experience that pushes you to be your best, which is what I was looking for. read more

I worked with Chris on two occasions for 8 weeks each time and had a lot of fun plus learned about nutrition and a balanced lifestyle. He's great about understanding your goals; for some that goal may be weight loss and muscle gain and that's his passion. Even with my goal simply being stress management and relieving aches and pains, I lost fat. Follow the food guidelines for best results. I have I cororated many of my learnings into my daily life. High energy, motivating, and passionate. Give it a try! read more

Whoa! I've never had a crazy (in a good way) trainer like Chris and I've worked with quite a few over the years. One thing I appreciate about training with him is that he lives and breathes fitness (he's no joke). If it's not good for his body or mind, he won't do it, eat it or think it (seriously). I've known Chris for over 10 years and he's been consistent ever since I've started training with him and never wavers in his care and commitment to your results. With that said, each time I train with Chris, he pushes me past my limits. I feel like I'm sculpting my body, redesigning it with (new) muscles, and in fact training my body for every single part of my life, not just 'exercising'. It's inspiring and puts me into a competitive state of mind that leads to success in all other areas of my life, like my sales performance. Besides his results-oriented training, Chris has a wealth of knowledge in simple ways to eat healthy. I'm a single mom and it comes in handy to be able to use some of his easy and quick meal ideas. In addition, even though he cares, he won't let any excuse get in the way of you reaching your goals. There's no giving up with Chris. He's worth more than his rates. It's not about the hourly rate, but about the overall life transformation -- it's priceless. I couldn't have done this without him. read more

After eleven years, I am in even better shape than I was in my teens thanks to meeting Chris. He debunked a lot of misconceptions I used to have about working out and eating but also changed the way I saw myself. I signed my first modeling contract ten years ago and continue to work hard to do better at the gym to keep myself conditioned for my other physical activities as a dancer and a martial arts instructor. There's a lot of trainers out there who are body builders and only do body building, but Chris knows the importance of being able to perform as an athlete because he's an athlete himself. He's also a helpful person to turn to whenever you need a second opinion on the nutritional value of food - when it doubt, ask Chris! And I've been enjoying the healthy (but delicious) snacks he's had me try recently. Even if you think you're relatively athletic, fit and healthy like I was before I met Chris, I would still highly recommend working with Chris because it WILL make a big difference regardless. read more

Chris is absolutely the best in personalized training knowledge and instruction ( just look at him ). He takes an approach of overall fitness from strength, endurance, to energy through proper nutrition. yes, he's a firm believer in "we are what we eat." Training and fitness isn't a 'job' for chris, it's a lifestyle. He definitely practices what he preaches. He'll tailor a program for your fitness needs, and definitely push you to reach your highest potential. I have the utmost respect and admiration for this man, and feel happy and energized every time I work out with him ! He is outstanding and recommend him 100% . read more

Absolutely the best Trainer around! We have been going strong for almost 5 months now and could not be happier! In just a short amount of time, my husband and I have seen nothing but results. We have both lost 4% body fat and inches all over our body. We are eating better, feeling better, looking better and just enjoying life with more energy. Chris has a great approach that goes beyond the gym. He is the complete package and provides tools so that you will be successful the rest of your life. He has a wealth of knowledge that makes it easy to trust him. I have had many sports injuries over the years and Chris was able to customize my workouts to rehab and strengthen my knees and shoulders. I have not felt this good in 20 years and I am getting stronger every day. Every workout is hard but great and the progression has been smooth. No matter where you are in your health, Chris can help you get to the next level and reach your goals. read more
