One of my favorite parts of working with Christian as my strength and conditioning coach was that he always held me accountable. He pushed me by influencing me to want to be the best that I could be. He helped me harness my competitive nature in a healthy and productive way. He kept our trainings upbeat and energetic and despite the difficult trainings and workouts it was always a fun environment. Christian was extremely knowledgeable and always wanting to learn and be the best coach that he could be. I feel lucky to have worked with him.

Christian was my strength coach as a college athlete and was a great mentor. He was instrumental in learning not just how to lift weights, but how to do so properly in order to stay healthy so I could have a successful season. Christian has a friendly approach and knows how to make suggestions and corrections without being overbearing. Very professional, 10/10 experience working with him!

testimonials

My son has been working with Christian for two years now. We knew there was a missing piece in his Jiu Jitsu game, we just weren’t certain what it was. After a few months of training, we realized that the missing piece was his physical preparation. Soon he started winning some of the biggest tournaments in the country and we could tell that the increase in strength, speed, and power was the reason. Along with that, we have found our son to be more disciplined as an athlete and as a member of our family.

Former student athlete who worked with Christian on in and out of season strength and conditioning. During my 4 years competing for a D1 program I had numerous coaches. Christian was always extremely conscious of his athletes needs and was willing to accommodate additional training sessions. He is able to push his athletes to that “dark place” to truly find your limits when needed. I would highly recommend him to any individual looking to better themselves mentally/physically.

I have competed as a jiu jitsu athlete for over 10 years, and one thing I was lacking was strength training. After just 2 months consistently working with Coach Christian I instantly saw results not only in training, but on the competition mats as well. Each workout is customized to meet your specific needs as an athlete and performance.

I’ve been working with Christian since the beginning of 2024. I thought I knew everything I needed to know to get in shape. I didn’t. Christian took what I knew and filled in all the blanks. The results have been nothing short of amazing. I’m an older guy, 51, coming off major surgery, quadruple bypass. So getting healthy is my top priority. He listened to my goals and came up with a plan that not only fits my schedule but allows me freedom diet wise. My goals are to lose fat, gain muscle, and still leave me time to train Brazilian jiujitsu three days a week. Have I said the results have been amazing? In the short time I’ve been working with him I’ve lost 10lbs from my highest recorded weight post surgery. At the same time I’ve maintained and or added muscle. No skinny fat for me. It may not sound like a lot but my pictures don’t lie. I can see the difference in muscularity already. I’ve done this while not giving up any of my favorite foods. His plan allows me freedom to eat out with friends and family as long as I’m consistent otherwise. My clothes fit better. My jiujitsu has greatly benefited from my work. My energy levels are up. Christian’s approach is science based while also drawing from his experience as a trainer. I double checked. If you’re spending good money on anything you should do your research. His methods line up with everything I’ve learned in previous attempts at getting in shape. He just put it all together for me in an easy to follow yet challenging program. Something I was never able to do on my own. Above all, this is sustainable. In less than 3 months I’ve gotten more results than I have in 2 years on my own. Do yourself a favor, hire him. In any other aspect of life, if someone has a problem they go to an expert. Car broken down? Find a mechanic. Tooth hurts? Go see a dentist. Why should your fitness be any different? Christian is that expert.

My fascination with sports performance started in high school when I started lifting weights for wrestling. I had a solid career despite a plague of broken thumbs, and I attribute many of my victories to overpowering my opponents; because my technical skills were not at the level of most Pennsylvania wrestlers. This lead to an obsession with how the human body adapts to training and pushed me to study physical fitness in college.


After receiving my masters degree in exercise science, I worked in collegiate athletics for years before finally realizing that I can help more people on my own. As a jiu jitsu athlete myself, I wanted to work with people that faced the same challenges as me. In late 2023 I founded Guardian Fitness, an online training program that helps combat sport athletes maximize their performance on the mat and in the octagon.
