Chris made sure he understood my goals with regular check-ins and motivating workouts! I loved the one-on-one sessions and could easily stay 2h working out with him if I could (but as per his words: resting is important too!).
I feel safer and stronger after Chris amazing coaching and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a top notch professional to help with their fitness goals.
I cannot thank you enough, Chris!

His meals plans and workout plans are on point and I would highly recommend Chris for anyone looking to embark on their life changing fitness journey .

Khushboo Kathuria

I can’t speak highly enough about Chris at Gawa Fitness. His approach to fitness is truly holistic. He didn’t just focus on workouts but also took the time to help me with my sleep routines and food choices. Chris made a real effort to understand my goals and customize a plan that worked for me. He showed me that habits are just as important as exercise when it comes to losing weight and staying healthy.

Thanks to Chris, I’ve not only managed to relieve some chronic pain but also learned so much about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. His support has made a huge difference, and I’m genuinely grateful for everything he’s done. I can’t recommend Chris enough for anyone looking to make lasting changes and achieve real results!
