About Me

I currently serve as the PT Regional Center of Excellence Leader in St. Louis. I earned my degree in Communications from the University of Michigan and played for the Wolverines football team as the starting punter in three Rose Bowls from '89 to '93. Following college, I relocated to Los Angeles, CA, and pursued a versatile career. Besides roles in entertainment as an actor and writer, I ventured into the fitness industry, amassing over three decades of experience as a Personal Trainer. My extensive certifications include NASM, ISSA, ACE, and NESTA, including Corrective Exercise and Performance Enhancement. My coaching strength lies in my genuine ability to listen and connect with people on a deeper level. I believe in challenging the body with compound, functional movements in diverse planes of motion to foster lean muscle growth and efficient fat burning for relentless results.

Testimonials

Travis D.

I started training with Chris in late January of 2021. I’m writing this now in early May of 2021. When I began training with Chris, I was 204lbs and 24% body fat. In just a few short months I’m now 194 and 15% body fat. Hands down the best trainer out there. This is the fittest I’ve been since I ran division 1 track and field 10 years ago. I highly recommend Chris for anyone looking to build strength, lose body fat, and help keep you motivated to push yourself to the highest of your potential.

I have trained with Chris for several years and followed him from West County to Frontenac. I have always struggled with weight and really didn’t like working out, but Chris holds me accountable and makes it fun so I enjoy what I’m doing while seeing results. I feel healthier and have more energy.

Steve G.

I started training because I needed the accountability and frankly didn’t know the proper weight training for me. Not only did Chris meet me right where I am he has a progressive plan that is customized for me and what I want to accomplish. I’m getting into the best shape I’ve been in years and it would not be happening without Chris.

Chris is everything you could want in a personal trainer: challenging while encouraging, and super fun. His workouts are always different, incorporating a wide variety of exercises that hold my interest and he pushes me well beyond what I would do on my own. I look forward to our sessions, and I feel great when they’re finished.

Liz C.

Chris and I started training shortly after I finished chemotherapy for breast cancer. Not only did he help me regain muscle strength, he helped me stay positive even when things weren't going as quickly as I wanted. It was great to have someone to help motivate me and who was able to modify workouts to my ever changing needs. Chris is a great trainer and really takes the time to get to know his clients to better meet their goals.

Chris is truly an excellent trainer. He is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm he brings to every session. He places a high value on correct form with each exercise so you will receive the highest results. If you are serious about reaching your fitness goals, Chris will lead you every step of the way!

Molly C.

I started training with Chris Stapleton as a high school student athlete preparing for soccer tryouts. Three years later, and he's helped me to achieve way more than physical conditioning and muscle gain. Chris transformed my life-- introducing me to a whole new world of health and fitness and helping me to achieve strength, both physically and mentally. He's taught me everything I know, and I swear I still hear his voice in my head counting my repetitions every workout I do without him. With every workout challenging me and pushing me to my limits, I developed a drive and strong sense of motivation that I have applied to many areas in my life. He makes fitness fun and is the definition of true 'enter"trainer"'

Laurel P.

Chris Stapleton is an elite trainer that stands alone with his knowledge, approach, and commitment to his clients. If you truly desire results, you will get them as you are challenged each session with innovative exercises implementing a variety of techniques that keep the body and mind guessing at what is coming next. I have been training with Chris for over 4 years. Never the same work-out twice. He absolutely knows what he's doing and I love the results!

Christopher Stapleton... Trainer Extraordinaire. Challenging you to be better!! Muscle confusion is the key. Training with Chris for 16 weeks, twice a week, no workout was the same. In the field of personal training, he's a "man" amongst boys. I am in better shape and will continue to be in better shape because of Chris.
