Christopher Harris

My name is Christopher Harris and I am from Harlem, NY. I started boxing at the age of 15/16 and started teaching the sweet science (boxing) at the age of 17/18. My degree is in Health and Fitness Management with a minor in Business. I am a certified personal trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. To me, I personally do not like the title personal trainer because it’s more than just physical work, it’s mental and this lifestyle is one that should not only help us to understand our bodies, but also, challenge our minds in more than one way. We will never be perfect, but if we strive to be a perfectionist, we will only fall short of excellence. I believe that the only way to be tested is to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. You will hate me during the process, but love me for the results.

Most recently, I underwent surgery for a tibia fracture towards the end of summer, which included a 40 lbs weight loss in 40 days (all documented) and I am now working back to reclaim my position in the sport of boxing. I am a former football player who weighed 270 and lost 100 lbs in a 9 month span. Furthermore, I am currently en route to becoming certified in nutrition and have the tools to calculate and breakdown the exact amount of energy your body needs as well as improving the way you sleep. This is bigger than fitness, it’s a lifestyle.
