“I’ve been working out for 15 years and I felt my workouts plateaued. I began training with Chris for a change of pace. Not only could I see immediate results, but I gained 4 lbs of lean muscle and lowered my body fat in four weeks and felt amazing. Chris made me work and I had fun while doing it. If you are not interested in achieving goals, or working hard, don’t train with Chris. I can confidently say he is HANDS DOWN the most intelligent, skilled trainer around and if you expect nothing less, neither will he. My mood improved and I felt great 24-7. You can’t put a price on how you will feel and as a mom of a three year old, I need all the energy I can get!”

”You don’t just workout with Chris, you train. You train with a purpose and train to reach whatever goals you have. Every set and rep is efficient and purposeful. As far as knowledge, I have not had a question that Chris couldn’t answer with an in-depth explanation. He really knows what he’s doing, hands down!”
Josh Perusse – College Football Defensive End
“Chris has been training jiu-jitsu with me for some time now and at the same time I’ve been training with him to get stronger and improve my conditioning. Throughout the years we’ve had several trainers come to our academy attempting to tell us how we should train to improve our martial arts training. None of them ever impressed me until Chris came. He seemed to speak a different language. Many of the things he told me I’d never heard before yet they made sense logically. He’s helped in developing great routines that transfer over to what we do and that’s Gracie Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I can go on and on about his talent in this field and his knowledge to put you on the right diet as far as nutrition, which plays a very important aspect in helping the athlete progress to the next level.”
Eddie Redzovic – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt / Owner – Gracie Barra Chicago
“As an athletic strength coach I have found a large variation in different training modalities. Working with Chris Grayson has shown me there are a lot less training programs that actually work. His ability to diagnose and design training programs based on your specific needs is far superior to any I have seen.
Chris’s advanced training methods make him one of the leaders in his industry and in my professional opinion, the best trainer in the Chicago area!”
Ben Knapp - Strength & Conditioning Coach
“Over a two year period Chris has helped me change my eating habits to help me from being a “fat kid” all of my life, he’s helped with the program design for power lifting competition where I was able to set personal record lifts as a result, and he has enlightened me on how to evolve the right way as a strength and conditioning professional.
I’m always seeking out the advice of experts in the field, and Chris is the first person I go to.”
Dan Allison
High School Strength & Conditioning Coach
“Chris has taken me to the next level by holding me accountable. He is so passionate about the personal programs that he develops that I feel I owe it to him as much as I do myself! No one will push you harder and no one has the combination of knowledge and experience that Chris Grayson possesses. He has taken my training to the level I have always wanted, but was unable to achieve by myself. Working smarter and more efficiently has actually cut the amount of time I was spending at the gym, and also cut out the boring cardio. Chris will get you the results you want, and allow you to reach goals you thought were unobtainable!”
