Co-Lead Trainer, certified fitness professional, and your guide to personalized transformation.

Chris Robison's fitness journey began in high school, where weight training for football sparked a passion that would become his life's work. What started as physical preparation for sports quickly evolved into an appreciation for how fitness transformed both body and mind. After advancing his knowledge through specialized weight training classes, Chris transformed his personal interest into a professional calling that has now spanned over 12 years in the health and fitness industry.

Building Fitness Foundations Through Connection: Chris's approach begins with sincere conversation, taking time to understand each client as an individual before designing their fitness program. By identifying strengths and weaknesses in both nutrition and exercise habits, he creates truly customized plans that set clients up for success. For newcomers or those returning to fitness after a break, Chris emphasizes starting slowly and appropriately, building a sustainable foundation that prevents burnout and injury. His strategy of setting smaller, achievable goals creates momentum and confidence that carries clients toward their larger fitness aspirations.

What Makes Chris Unique:

• Industry Veteran: Brings 12 years of professional experience from his early days at American Health and Fitness through to his current leadership role at Catalyst.
• Continuous Learner: Already an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, Chris is currently pursuing his Strength and Conditioning Certification through ISSA.
• Holistic Perspective: Focuses on total well-being—including energy levels, confidence, and overall health—not just physical appearance.
• Celebration Centered: Takes genuine pleasure in recognizing clients' achievements, making the fitness journey rewarding and motivating.

When not transforming lives at Catalyst Fitness, Chris enjoys active pursuits like basketball and flag football, as well as hiking the Acres Land Trust trails or Great Smoky Mountains with his wife and stepdaughter. His philosophy—"If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you!"—reflects his understanding that meaningful growth happens at the edge of comfort zones, where clients discover strengths they never knew they possessed.
