Today we’d like to introduce you to Chris Green.
Chris, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
In 2009, I was in the middle of my journey of trying to create a professional basketball career. Through the struggle of playing in semi-pro associations, people notice my consistency and commitment towards working out. Then I began receiving several people asking me for advice on how to change their body.
I started to notice the transformations in people’s lives and I fell in love with helping people. Seeing them grow mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. I then notice what I gain in the process of playing basketball, the “Believe, Achieve, to Receive” philosophy I was living by, people needed. My true passion was to create peace and joy within people. To show them how powerful they are if they can just believe and give their best.
I first started with outdoor boot camps at local parks, because I was broke. I didn’t have the resources to open a gym. I had a couple people that I met that believed in me. Those people multiplied to 10, to 20, to multiple groups and trainers across the city of Houston. After 5 years of being a force with outdoor boot camps, we opened our first gym. Then a year later, we opened our second.
Now to see online programs, makeover programs, fitness competition, boot camps, and gyms have been mind-blowing. We’re very blessed to have the city of Houston to believe in the vision of making Houston healthier and stronger.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I would say our journey has not been as smooth as I Would have wanted. Due to our program being created from scratch we didn’t have a perfect blueprint to follow. Our main goal has been loving people and giving people the best energy as possible. On the flip side since we didn’t follow anyone’s blueprint, in the making of our own we created a unified program.
Throughout the years we have been able to connect with several people that believe in our vision and philosophies. Therefore we have created a proven system’s to help benefit all fitness levels.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
There so many amazing fitness programs in the city of Houston. I applaud anyone that helps individuals become better. Our system we offer several different types of training. We have programs H.I.I.T workouts for all fitness levels, corrective lifting programs, athletes performance training, personal training, and nutrition guidance from our certified nutritionist specialist.
I feel we offer A positive energy that is matchless. The atmosphere that we created for every class or a sessions encourages everyone to become better. We are not drill sergeant that force you to do things. We’re “family” that want to encourage you and empower you to be your best.
From surveys and reviews the thing that stands out from us and separates us from several gyms or boot camps, is our programs focus on you internally and externally. We know you can change your body physically but if you don’t change mentally and emotionally, there’s no transformation.
What were you like growing up?
Growing up I was always interested in sports. I fell in love with basketball at a very young age. I played every day and tried my best to become better every single day. I was an average student but I always try my best to create as many positive relationships as possible. I always gave respect to everyone I came across. From teachers to students to peers. I treated everybody equally.
Growing up as a pastor son, I always stood strong in faith in God. Which I believe count me out of trouble. I’ve always outgoing and not fearful to try new things.
