Total Fitness and Health - How-We-Started

Growing up owner and fitness coach Chris Abbott had always told himself that he wanted to do something he loved for a living. His love for sports and outdoor activities carried him through an abundance of life experiences. Perhaps the biggest one was completing the Ironman triathlon back in 2007. Having never ridden a road bike, swam more than a few laps in a pool, or ran more than 3 miles at a given time; Chris managed to finish in the top 15% in his first Ironman competition, this coming just 3 weeks after he did his first triathlon. It was a true test of mental and physical conditioning, but much more it taught him about perseverance and persistence, and how when combined, both enable someone to accomplish anything they put their mind too.

After completing another Ironman in 2008 Chris moved across the country from New York to southern California where he began to pursue a career as a fitness coach. His experience as a self-coached Ironman triathlete served him well in motivating and building strong relationships with all of his clients.

In the corporate world, Chris worked his way to being one of the top 75 trainers within the highly renowned Equinox Fitness club. His time spent there served him well in learning more about personal training and the fitness business.

It wasn’t until he had spent a couple years with the company that Chris realized he wanted to start his own business. Continually educating himself lead him to the Results Fitness “business of fitness” seminar and mentorship group. It was here that Chris gained the true business knowledge needed to help achieve his goal and help more people achieve theirs.

Chris has worked with a wide variety of clientele ranging from triathletes and football players to doctors and film professionals. This wide range of clientele created the desire for a company that could reach out to everyone, going above and beyond to give people the knowledge needed to live longer, stronger, healthier lives.

Now as an owner and fitness coach with Total Fitness and Health, Chris finds himself with the same mindset he once had while training for his Ironman triathlons. His goal: to reach out to as many people as possible and help them achieve their goals as he has done for so many others as well as himself.

Chris is more than willing to sit down and talk health and fitness with anyone, and would love to talk to you. This quote has served him well throughout his journey and perhaps may give you the push needed to start working towards your goal, “Jump and the net will appear”!
