Christopher Minner

I am a NASM certified personal trainer and weight loss specialist and have been training for 3 years. Training clients is not just a job for me; it is my passion. As such, I am goal oriented and tailor workouts towards each of my client’s needs, and I also set aside time for my clients both in and outside of sessions to ensure they feel fully supported. My clients would describe me as down-to-earth, committed, and energetic, and I understand fitness journeys can be daunting so I make sure no one feels alone as they work towards their goals. Currently, I train out of STATUS Fitness in St. Louis, Missouri, and am working towards opening my own gym in the near future.

My training philosophy is holistic-- supporting clients' physical and nutritional health.

Each client can expect an individualized one hour to thirty minute training session depending on their goals. All clients will receive personalized attention and an exercise routine that is both challenging but achievable.

I’ve been training with Chris for about two years. I was hesitant to begin training at first because I was struggling with my self-confidence and wasn’t configure I was ready to spend money on my fitness. However, beginning to train with Chris was the best thing I’d ever done for myself. It was an investment. When I started, I weighed 230 pound, which is how much I weighed when I was nine months pregnant. Through his support, encouragement, and motivation, I am now in the best shape of my life and have regained my self-confidence. Even more, training with him has improved my mental health as well. As a single mother and teacher, I didn’t realize how much I needed to live a healthier lifestyle. My training sessions have now become the time I save for myself to constantly improve my quality of life.

Outside the gym, I enjoy watching and playing football and basketball. I also enjoy dancing to whatever good beat comes on the radio and value the time I spend with family and friends.
