My name is Chris Tolp, and I am very excited for the opportunity to assist you in achieving your fitness goals! Please take a moment to read my bio. I know you are anxious to get started creating a new body, so I kept it very brief.
Having been in the fitness industry for over twenty six years, I have been a certified personal trainer since 1996. I hold personal training certifications through the NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association), and ACE (The American Council on Exercise). I am also a certified nutrition coach.
I studied and graduated from the prestigious Body Therapy institute in Siler City, NC, and I am a former North Carolina state licensed massage and bodywork therapist (#10406).
I have had extensive experience in managing large scale fitness centers, and owning private personal training studios both in New York and my current location in North Carolina, which opened in 2011.
I have helped thousands of people of all ages (from 7 to 91), with goals such as improved athletic performance, bodybuilding, weight loss, body composition change, pre/ peri/ post-natal, post-rehabilitation, pre-enlists for military, police and fire departments, as well as, the United States Secret Service.
Once you sign on to work with me, you will quickly realize that I am not your average personal trainer. I feel that results speak for themselves, and after completing a program with me...yours will be shouting!
On the "personal" fitness side, I am an accomplished Ultra-marathoner and extreme endurance athlete. I have finished numerous Spartan Ultra's (31+ miles with obstacles) and have completed every race distance up to and including the Umstead 100 mile ultra-marathon.
