My passion for fitness started at a young age. Born and raised in Latin America, Ecuador, I grew up around sports like Soccer, Bodybuilding and Powerlifting. It did not take me long before I competed in the Powerlifting Federation, maxing out a 1RM Deadlift of 425lbs at a very young age! My thirst for sports and strength & conditioning training increased substantially in my life and it became my passion! I pursued my post-secondary education with Honors in Exercise Science, Kinesiology and Strength & Conditioning in Toronto, ON and Miami, Fl.

As a Kinesiologist, Strength & Conditioning Coach and Personal Trainer, I had the rewarding experience to serve as a Strength & Conditioning Coach to professional athletes playing for the NFL, MLB, NBA, MLS and NHL in Miami, FL.

My passion for Muay Thai and Kickboxing started shortly after. Brand new sport to challenge myself and become a forever student of the arts of 8 limbs. Combining the years of Strength and Conditioning, Muay Thai and Sports-Specific Training, I am confident that I can serve my community with my expertise for the betterment of their health in their fitness journeys.

Let our clients tell you more

I’ve been seeing Chris at Compound Rehab and have had a really good experience. Sessions are focused and practical, and I like that he explains why we’re doing certain exercises instead of just running through a routine. I’ve noticed steady improvement and feel more confident managing things on my own between visits. Would recommend if you want rehab that actually makes sense.

I’ve been working with Chris for my knee pain. He’s super friendly and knowledgeable. I love how he listens to your needs and caters the sessions to your abilities and needs. He also makes the sessions fun and enjoyable as well! I’m so happy I’m well enough to go back to doing the activities I love thanks to him!

Chris has helped me so much with the home visits in Physio even the last two weeks I’ve come so far he is so kind and willing to help with anything very knowledgeable. I enjoy the home visits as someone with anxiety going to a clinic will be hard, but Chris makes it easy with the home visit. He brings the ultrasound machine to your house and K tape. I just had a very great experience with Chris and continue to help with my knee and plantar fasciitis. Thank you so much, Chris
