"I believe that as an owner of a successful fitness facility you must think of it as your members' gym and not your own. It is my responsibility to provide LEAP's members with whatever support they may need; the top fitness professionals in the industry, the most effective programming, highest quality equipment, and a uniquely beautiful environment that gets you excited to come and train. I fully intend on fulfilling that responsibility!"
"In some way or another, throughout my life I've been immersed in the fitness industry; be it a division 1 hurdler or a certified fitness professional. As the years progressed, my philosophy has recalibrated from do what you can to don't stop moving. The goal is to get you where you want to be. Be it losing a portion of weight, doing your first pullup, or running a marathon. Regardless of what it is, let us work together toward getting as close to the goal as possible. The human body is an amazing piece of equipment and figuring out its potential is not only amazing but a mutually beneficial relationship."
Christian Excels in Strength coaching. Improving ones strength and endurance, and teaching how to produce the maximum amount of strength, while utilizing proper form during the initiation of a heavy lift.
He has 14 years of athletic experience (soccer, wrestling, muay thai). Specializes in mobility, stability, and strength.
Christian has goals of becoming a well known powerlifting coach and competing competitively/competing at Nationals in the USAPL. In November of 2023, he placed 2nd in the Junior Division (90kg weight class) at the USAPL Surge Classic.
He brings a positive and supportive energy to the gym, motivating his clients to reach their goals and become a better version of themselves everyday.
Originally from Wales, Michael grew up immersed in sport—playing everything from soccer and rugby to tennis and boxing—before finding his stride in track and field. By 16, he was crowned Junior National Champion in the 800m, a title that earned him a full athletic scholarship to compete in NCAA Division I athletics at both Nova Southeastern and DePaul University. After six years of competing at a high level, he has developed the discipline and mindset of a high-performing athlete—skills he hopes to now bring to every client he works with.
Michael holds an extended diploma in Exercise Science, a BSc in Kinesiology, and a Master’s degree in Business Management. His coaching specialties include cardiovascular training, speed and power development, mobility, stability, and injury prevention training. With a deep understanding of what the body needs to perform and recover, he aims to help clients train smarter, move better, and stay motivated.
