At Brooklin Built, we empower our clients to unlock their true potential through expertly designed fitness programs. Perhaps you’ve made a New Years resolution or want to get in shape for a trip? Or maybe you’re a young athlete with goals to get stronger in the off-season, stay in shape during the season, or dominate at try-outs. We will get you there!
As a personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach, I help adults and young athletes to expose their inner alpha and become the best version of themselves. In a world where it’s easy to get lost in the noise, I believe that training is not just about physical transformation – it’s about mental toughness and developing a winning mindset.
Remember this! The lion is NOT the biggest animal… the lion is NOT the fastest animal…. and the lion is NOT the smartest animal. So why is the LION considered King of the Jungle?
His mentality.
It’s time to be a lion. Let’s get to WORK!

I recently completed a 6-week exercise program with Brooklin Built, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The program was thoughtfully designed, giving me the flexibility to push myself at my own pace, which I really appreciated. The group workout sessions were fantastic and having Chris as a trainer made all the difference. He was incredibly attentive, always watching my technique and offering feedback that was both encouraging and constructive. It truly felt like he was invested in my journey, tracking my progress and building on his advice from previous sessions. Those small adjustments he suggested had a huge impact. I recommend Chris and Brooklin Built to anyone looking for a challenge
and wanting to see change. It was an amazing experience, and I’m already looking forward to the next program!”

I want to thank Chris for everything he did this summer for my daughter and her volleyball team.
Thanks to Chris’s excellently structured workouts, my daughter improved her Beep Test score by 4 levels, her Wall Sit by a minute, increased her push ups by 35% and her vertical jump by an inch!! This was all done in 7 weeks.
Chris created a fun, safe and competitive environment that allowed the girls to really give everything they have while connecting as a team
I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to improve their fitness. Thanks Chris.

We understand that starting a fitness journey can come with a lot of questions. Here are some common inquiries to help guide you as you explore our programs and services.
A Fitness Program is a structured exercise plan tailored to a person's goals, fitness level, and needs. A Fitness Program allows you to exercise at home or at the gym without the presence of a personal trainer. This model is cost efficient, flexible, and convenient making it a popular choice for a lot of clients. Fitness programming is aimed at clients who prefer to workout on their own, at their own pace.
Coach Chris will be available by text or email throughout the week if you have any questions or need clarification on any workouts. We can also supply instructional videos for the exercises, if needed.
We offer several different strength & conditioning packages that are fully prepared to get you started today!
