A Positively Fit Personal Training Workout

02/11/2007 Posted by mixie4

That is the most important factor to me in a trainer-- they need to be able to motivate me, and if they can make jokes while doing it, that is a plus! I train with Chris at an ungodly hour in the morning-- and I am not a morning person, yet I am still motivated to get up and into the gym with him for our sessions. I like the gym he trains at because everyone in there is serious about working out, and sometimes we work outside which is great, too. Chris' routines are always changing, so I'm never bored, and I feel like I am getting a great work out.

Pros: outside workout

Working out with Chris gives me so much energy and makes me feel wonderful, its better than a massage even! Whoever below said Chris is how a personal trainer should be is exactly right. He knows how to motivate and push people and when to introduce something new. The gym has never been crowded during my visits and I've gone at all times of the day. I've always been able to get right on the equipment that I want to use. He switches things up between inside and outdoors constantly. Its great to be able to step outside in the fresh air and do some butt kickin' lunges, squats or ab work on a mat. Chris doesn't just count reps and sit there. He is always cracking jokes, working to correct my positioning, and most of all -- smiling! Every workout is different too. I also like the fact that the rates are very affordable and I never felt like I was being "sold" something. Chris is great at listening to what your goals are and helping you get there. He knows what to have you do for optimum results. I've worked with other trainers before and never had a trainer who was so positive and energetic. I've done way better at losing my "love handles" and toning up than before thanks to Chris!

Pros: great attitude/personality, knowledgeable

Cons: none

I tried out his free sessions and I thought they were alright. But once I signed a contract, the training quality went down. We worked out in the parking lot because the gym was so crowded all the time. Be careful when you select a trainer.

Pros: cheap

Cons: Crowded gym, working out in a parking lot

"A Positively Fit" Personal Training is much more than a physical workout. Chris also challenges you mentally. His program focuses on the person as a whole. The workouts he creates for you are always very challenging, but he is always there to support you through-out the process. Chris is always changing things up, so there is no chance of you getting board! His positive attitude is very contagious, which makes you want to attend your sessions. The environment is very energized with people cheering you on. Everyone attending is there for the same reason, and you don't want to let them down along with yourself. Of all the gyms I have attended in the past, this is the first I have attended that doesn't make me feel intimidated. Everyone there is highly supportive, which encourages you to work even harder. If you are looking for a trainer/gym that is a "Meat Market" this is NOT the place. If you are out for a "Positively Fit" environment to make yourself a better person, than Chris at Positively Fit is the place for you! As Buddha once said, “All that we are is the result of what we have thought.” Chris encourages you to think positively about your workouts, even if you don’t accomplish the tasks the first time through. He promises you that it will get better and he is right! I can’t recommend him enough. Chris has changed my life, and will continue to do so! Lance - Tustin, CA

I have been training with Chris for over a year. I feel and look great. His workouts are intense but personalized for what you can handle. I have muscle tone and more energy since starting the program. If you ever want to miss a workout, you better have a great excuse, Chris doesn't except lame excuses. Thanks for the workouts and friendship, it is appreciated.

Pros: Crazy, funny, and creative.

Why even hire a personal trainer? Why choose Chris as your personal trainer? These are two very good questions. The answers are simple and make perfect sense. How many people join a gym and then never go or find reasons not to go? When you have a trainer it keeps you motivated and provides for an atmosphere that makes it easy to stay committed to your workouts. It becomes a habit with so many incredible benefits that just aren't possible on your own. Having a trainer is like having a personal coach, motivator, health advisor, positive influence all in one.” Why train with Chris? Yes, there are thousands of trainers out there and your choices are many. Chris is someone who takes his profession very seriously without being too serious if you know what I mean. The workouts are always enjoyable. He takes the time to understand your individual training needs and overall fitness goals. He is friendly and sincere with his approach and adapts your work outs accordingly. I think the biggest testament is that I have been training with Chris for almost 3 years and he has always been upbeat, non intimidating and attentive to all of his clients. He makes sure the personal touch is part of his daily routine.”

Over the last year, Chris has become a friend, mentor, dietician, and Jedi Master to me. Working out with him has been something I looked forward to doing, knowing that the hour would be physically tough but always lots of fun, and often spiritually uplifting. Chris has a personality and attitude that make him easy to work with, even when I was having a rough day or just wasnt into the workout. He is an expert at motivating and inspiring me to succeed in my goals, in the gym as well as in my life. I truly believe that he is the type of person that sincerely wants people to achieve happiness and fulfillment, and goes out of his way to make sure he is giving them everything they need towards that end. I am now 40 years old, but people tell me I look 35. I feel great. I look 100% better than I did last year. I can see the difference in the mirror and everyone that knows me makes very flattering comments. I never ate poorly, but Im eating so much healthier now than ever before. Im stronger, more flexible, and have greater endurance than I think I ever had in my entire life. My experience with Chris McCombs has been life changing in ways I didnt think possible, and Im very grateful that I ended up working with him.

Pros: Chris is someone you want in your life...better than Tony Robbins!

Cons: He's so damned tall I get neck pains talking to him :)
