Beyond the incredible strength gains, Chris gave me the confidence and mindset to achieve what once seemed impossible, like hitting an 3x bodyweight deadlift, while tailoring everything to fit my unpredictable medical student schedule.

About me
My name is Chris. I’m a competitive athlete, strength and conditioning coach, co-founder of Warhorse Barbell Club, and—most importantly—a husband and father.
With 15 years of coaching experience, I’ve worked with athletes and lifters across every level, from NFL players and nationally ranked competitive powerlifters to first-time competitors and people just beginning their strength journey. I believe high-level coaching should be accessible to anyone willing to train with purpose and put in the work.
As a lifelong athlete, I’ve competed across a wide range of disciplines, including football, powerlifting, Muay Thai, and now Ironman triathlon. That experience has given me a firsthand understanding of what it takes to pursue performance goals while managing the realities of life outside the gym. It has also shaped my ability to coach a diverse range of athletes while bringing practical experience, sound training principles, and an individualized approach to every person I coach.
About the studio
Chris Robert Strength is a private, appointment-only personal training studio located in Farmington, New York. Sessions are intentionally limited to one client at a time or two clients who already know each other and want to train together. This allows every client to receive focused coaching, individualized programming, and uninterrupted access to the equipment they need.
This isn’t an open gym or a crowded group-fitness environment. It’s a professional coaching space where you can train comfortably, enjoy the process, and receive the attention necessary to make meaningful progress.
