Matt Emmons

With over 12 years of experience in various settings, Matt has trained hundreds of clients in the south jersey area — ranging from youth and professional athletes to general fitness and weight-loss clientele.

Matt Emmons’ life can be described in two words — always moving. As far back as he can remember, Matt couldn’t sit still, hated being stuck inside for too long, and absolutely loved sports.

A typical day could have included baseball, football, basketball games, an hour or so at the gym, and a round of golf. Fast-forward to today, and Matt is still always moving– only now with a stronger purpose and in a continually better direction.
After earning his bachelor’s degree in Fitness Management and Strength and Conditioning from the University of Delaware, Matt jumped into the fitness field with a vigor and passion unmatched. He found his true desire in teaching athletes and helping people achieve their toughest goals. Matt holds his certification with the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.

Chris Sanchez

Chris has been training clients in a wide variety of settings for over 8 years now. During that span, his clients have ranged from elite athletes, general fitness, corporate boot camps, youth clients, and almost everyone else in between.

Chris graduated from Rowan University in 2012 with a 3.9 GPA and received his Bachelor’s degree in Health and Exercise Science. Straight out of college, he passed his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification and spent his days (and still does) reading, watching webinars, attending conferences, and learning about training, nutrition, mobility, and just how the human body moves and operates.

In a continually shifting field like health and fitness, what’s best right now might not be the case in a few months down the road. Because of this, Chris is always looking to hone and improve his craft in order to deliver a better service to his clients. He’s dedicated to never fall behind the curve so his clients can always be the beneficiaries of the most optimal training and guidance.

Personally, Chris is a diehard Philly sports fan and has his sights set on becoming a published writer one day. He resides in South Jersey with his wife, son, and dog.
