Review of Show Up Fitness

I've wanted to change my career for quite sometime...

I've wanted to change my career for quite sometime and when I met Chris, he motivated me to learn how to become a personal trainer and do what I truly love. I use to sit at a desk for 40+ hours (sometimes longer) at the sacrifice of my health. I searched how to become a personal trainer in LA and the Academy came up. I did some research and I like how he consults with a board of education (which are all Doctors, nutritionists, and Ph.Ds). He was nice enough to let me sit in the first few classes before I made any rash decisions, and I loved his teaching style. He's brilliant, funny, and a great teacher. I doubted myself in the beginning, but with his leadership skills, he was able to calm me down as he's taught a lot of trainers. I enjoyed all the workouts at his studio, going to the Santa Monica stairs, workouts on the Beach and UCLA track. When I graduated (Dec 2016) I felt comfortable training young, elderly, injured, overweight, athletes, and any sort of special situation. Chris teaches you how the human body works, at the end of his Academy, you'll be so far ahead of all the other trainers who take the NASM, NESTA, ACE, or IFFA cert at home / online. Thanks Chris!
