His Experience
Kris actually wanted to coach pro football players, and that’s what he was learning about in his internship in Miami, FL. But then he discovered climbing and fell in love with it. He moved out to Colorado and ended up working with athletes at Movement Climbing and Fitness, and realized the need for proper training among the elite climbers he met there.
He committed to working with climbers instead of football players and set out to make a difference in the climbing world. Through working with pro and amateur climbers alike, Kris has honed his craft at creating incredibly effective training programs for people of all abilities.
From 2012-2015, Kris teamed up with prodigious climber, Justen Sjong, to create Team of 2, and together they hosted group and individual training programs at climbing gyms around the country. Kris currently trains people in person all over the country and online all over the world. He’s an incredibly hard worker, and he’s dedicated to climbers’ success.
In his spare time (which is not often) he road bikes, fanatically watches sports, and goes rock climbing all over the West. If you have specific questions for him, or if you’d like to do personal training with him, please email kris@trainingbeta.com.
