← All coaches

Chris Aslan

As a coach who is both educated and an athlete, I bring together what I've studied and what I've lived to give my athletes a genuinely thorough coaching experience. Research and literature matter, but they aren't everything. The real results come from applying that knowledge in practice, paired with a good coaching eye. I understand people, their challenges and their journeys, because I've walked in their shoes. I've been overweight, come through an eating disorder, and been the strongest, weakest, fittest and least fit person in the room at different stages of my life, all while competing across a range of sports and representing my country.

That lived experience lets me truly empathise with my clients' circumstances, strategise effective ways through any challenge, and guide them to their goals. My competition credentials mean I'm most often sought out as a powerlifting and weightlifting coach, but I thoroughly enjoy working with all kinds of athletes, including combat, field and endurance. I've been around sport my whole life, with extensive experience in sports injury rehabilitation that built a deep understanding of movement optimisation and biomechanics. I apply that every day to sharpen my athletes' performance and athletic development.
