Utilising the SuperSlow exercise system, Chris ran 1-1 and small group workout sessions for people looking to get back into exercise or for those rehabilitating injuries. This was a small, community gym in Bristol, where emphasis lay on knowing every client well, rather than making lots of money from a large client base.​
