Hey there! I'm Chris Gaines, a dynamic fitness coach, and professional bodybuilder. I'm all about empowering individuals through specialized training and nutrition guidance. With a B.A. in Human Biology from Stanford University, my background in Exercise Physiology and Human Nutrition shapes my holistic approach to fitness.

My journey in the fitness world has been quite the adventure, marked by numerous natural bodybuilding competitions and earning my pro card in three separate federations. These experiences, alongside my academic background, enable me to provide deeply informed and practical coaching.

I believe in a balanced approach to fitness, combining solid exercise science with practical, real-world techniques - and a bit of experimentation. I'm excited to work together and help you discover just how much your body is capable of!

Sports and fitness were something I had to grow to love. Growing up a shy young girl, I didn’t necessarily feel drawn to sports as a means of relaxing and refining connections with my friends and peers. But as my confidence grew and I came to understand how exciting and self-fulfilling becoming involved with sports would make me, it became something I gradually relied on to enjoy myself and help me deal with whatever life threw at me.

I can be of service for any woman deciding to undergo a journey of weight loss, posture alignment, functional moving patterns, nutrition coaching or even weight training, bodybuilding and contest preparation or youth fitness. Whether you’re young or experienced, looking to change your life or grow more confident in the things that matter to you, I am excited and passionate to assist you with your journey and wherever it may lead you. Please don’t hesitate to get in contact if you have questions, or are looking to lead the life you’ve always dreamed about. Thank you

My mission is to help people evolve to the best version of themselves by overcoming the barriers that holds them back. Everybody and every body is different, and therefore it’s important to apply the necessary steps for each person’s goal differently.

I’m a movement specialist that helps others unlock new movements or old movements they no longer thought was possible to do. At the same time, I am here to help you achieve new levels of strength by focusing on the proper mechanics of strength training and injury prevention. As we move with intent, you’ll begin to learn more about yourself and how your body works.

Growing up I avoided physical activity and was what most people would deem as unathletic. I discovered my passion for lifting weights my senior year of high school and quickly fell in love with the process of competing with myself, and the confidence that came from moving better. After obtaining my Bachelor's in Kinesiology (Exercise Science) at Humboldt State, and becoming a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, I have aimed to instill that same love for training in all of my clients. Whether they are new to the gym, or advanced in their training career, we start where they are at and use strength training to move better, feel better, and improve their daily lives.

My passion for knowledge of the human body and human movement has helped me develop a unique skillset in athletic training, nutrition, functional strength training, and corrective exercise.

Being a former athlete gives me greater perspective of the challenges that arise. Losing weight, improving physical performance, and recovering from injuries are just a few examples of challenges I have faced during my professional athletic journey.

As a former D-1 collegiate triple jumper, I know the value of setting goals. I also know that actually reaching your goals requires proven technique and proper form.

While earning my B.A. from the University of Oregon, I was a walk-on member of the renowned Oregon varsity track and field team, and competed successfully in many meets. The competition in this arena is highly demanding, and reinforced the value of precise technique and movement, positive attitude, the will to break barriers, and the right nutrition and self-care. I follow these same priorities today in my role as Head Coach for the Los Altos High School track team.

I love helping people, especially novices, achieve their goals. Whether you’re an aspiring high school athlete; or someone just beginning to train who wants to get started the right way; or an older person looking to safely increase mobility, or strengthen your joints, I’ll help make sure your training efforts pay off.

My name is Sam Abrams. I am a trainer in Palo Alto, California.

Since 2005 I’ve trained athletes, kids, and grandparents to improve performance, overcome injury histories, and change body composition.

I first became interested in the gym as a high school soccer player. I desperately hoped that lifting weights would transform me into an elite athlete. Alas, it did not–but I learned a lot about how the body works anyway. After college, my struggles to fully recover from sports injuries inspired me to further study human movement.

Before training full time, I was a national security analyst in Washington, DC. I studied international relations as an undergraduate at Tufts and as a graduate student at Johns Hopkins.
