Christopher Drozd
I’m just an average athlete with above average curiosity and a strong interest in fitness, for its own sake. That somehow turned into a career, because fitness has function.
My students include: competitive athletes, novice to elite; general exercisers from nine to ninety; and, Yin yogis from a much broader population than solely the yoga community. And for good reason.
You see, any 20 year-old trainer will kick your ass in the gym, but only a seasoned fitness advisor knows when to and when not to do that.
As a dedicated fitness professional since the mid-1980s, and as a Yin yogi since 2006, I bring to the training table experience and maturity.
And, even after these four decades, I’m as enthusiastic as ever about sharing my expertise with those committed to functionally improving their health, fitness, and sporting performance.
Let’s find your higher purpose and raise your fitness to that level!
