Personal Training Services

As unbelievable as it is to me, I am as of this writing beginning my 5th year of training with Chris Wilde. It has been time well spent. I never thought of myself as someone who would ever hire a trainer, but a nearly debilitating Seadoo accident my first year of retirement changed the course of that way of thinking. After 6 months of crutches from a shattered sacrum, I found myself nervous to workout for fear of hurting myself. Chris entered my life as a gift from my wife to help me get back into the gym. It worked! At 63, I am probably in the best shape of my life at an age when most people only dream of how they moved when they were young.
With Chris’ guidance I not only got past my fear of exercising again, but I healed and discovered a whole new life than what I had thought retirement would be. Not only did I continue to pursue the benefits of exercise, but I also entered totally into healthy eating and living a healthy lifestyle. Over the years some of my physical pursuits have caused other problems that Chris has helped me work out. So far he has helped me get back into the game after a few back issues: bulging disks, stenosis, leaking disk with nerve pressure, and spondylolisthesis with nerve root contact, 2 shoulder impingements, one shoulder surgery, strained MCL, torn adductor, and a torn bicep tendon with lingering surgical issues. But with his handling and motivation during some low periods I continued to enjoy an active lifestyle. Haha, as someone once said, “ I’d rather wear out than rust out”.
Since training with him I not only got back on the Seadoo and have been able to enjoy it each summer, but I have participated obstacle races such as 2 Warrior Dashes, and 5 Spartan Races. I achieved my first Spartan Trifecta which includes running  5, 10 and 13 mile races in one calendar year. I have run over 45 race miles and maneuvered over 165 obstacles in races. I participated in one Body Building Physique Show and placed 4th. I have ridden camels and camped in the Sahara Desert. In 3 weeks from today I will be scaling Mt Kilimanjaro with my daughter. And besides all of this he convinced me to study for and to come out of retirement and become a personal trainer. I am now four years into it. And I continue training with him.
I can honestly say that none of that would have happened without Chris. He’s the man! A good trainer motivates you to keep at it when you don’t think you can, inspires you to do better and live life to your fullest, and is fun. Chris is all of that! There is no doubt that Chris has changed my life and now I can plan on running races, climbing mountains, snowboarding and summer Seadooing well into what was once  considered old age. “Youth has no age.”

Thanks Chris!
