Base CNTRL

We focus on mastery of fundamental movement patterns, precision in execution, and systematic approaches that put you in control of your physical outcomes. This ethos will be applied to an array of training methodologies within baseControl, establishing a foundation-first approach that builds genuine strength and capability rather than chasing fleeting aesthetic trends. No empty promises, no gimmicks... you've heard all this before. There’s much work to do. Let’s get started.

Hi I am Chris, a competitive athlete, strength & conditioning coach, and founder of BaseCNTRL. With 15 years of experience, I've coached everyone from NFL athletes to complete beginners—I believe elite-level coaching should be accessible regardless of your starting point.

As an athlete, I've competed across multiple disciplines: football, powerlifting, Muay Thai, and Ironman Triathlon. I'm currently training for my second Ironman in 2025.

My educational foundation began at Temple University, where I specialized in exercise science. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to learn from some of the industry's most influential figures in person, whose mentorship has been instrumental in developing my approach to coaching.

There are two different options when it comes to working with me.

1: Online Team Training: High quality programming and coaching done at an extremely affordable price.

2: One on One Remote Training: Get expert-driven, fully customized training programs tailored to your specific goals. Whether you're an athlete optimizing performance, recovering from injury, or pursuing long-term fitness success, 1-on-1 remote coaching delivers the structure, feedback, and accountability you need to excel.

I’m on a mission to help people get strong.
